20
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: don't go planting your pansies just yet. You're not. You're

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: going to do some outdoor activities this weekend. Yeah, I was,

22
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: but it's too it's it's too hot. They'll die. You're hot.

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to help rob out. New homeowner, you know.

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: Oh thanks Mick, new homeowner. Wait wait another week or

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: two for the pansies. One more thing. You're the same

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: age as my parents. And my parents have the Weather Channel.

27
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Just when they're not listening and talking, cowboys are watching.

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: They're watching that. You're just like them. I don't watch

29
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel. How nice at them unless there's a storm.

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: You're a storm hurricane man, right, true? All right, guys,

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: Well the Eagles look for real. Let's get to the

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: NFC East. First, they're four and one. They're only lost

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: being to the Chiefs who are five and oh Redskins

34
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: following behind. They had a bye week last week, but

35
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: they're sitting at two and two and their loss come

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: to the Eagles into the Chiefs and of course the

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys losing to obviously the Broncos, Rams and Packers two

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: and three headed into the bye week, and then the

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Giants oh and five. I really truly didn't see that happening,

40
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: And now you know Odell Beckham Junior and all their

41
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: other injuries to their receiver corps. Would you have thought

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: this would have gone the way it's going so far

43
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: forward the NFC's now lots of games to be played

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: and different things happen, But right now it looks like

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles leading two games ahead of everyone. I think

46
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: on paper, guys, to start the season, you would say

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Giants buying for that Vision title. And you

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: look at the standings right now and they're the bottom two. Now,

49
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: like you said, it's really early, but a winless Giants

50
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: team has got to be one of the biggest surprises

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: in the entire league right now. I totally agree. And

52
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: I thought they had the second best. I know. Somebody

53
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: asked me on Twitter, and I actually had the Eagles

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: in fourth. Yeah, you had the red Skins enough. Again,

55
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: that shows you why I'm doing radio and not scouting anymore.

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: But that's the NFL. But no, but that's I just

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: felt like though that the Giants, it surprised me just

58
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: because of the defense and just what they were able

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: to do last year eleven and five. You know, they

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: were on the Cowboys heels the whole entire season thinking like, Okay,

61
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: they got a lot of the same players coming. Maybe

62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: it's the same thing that's happened. You know, maybe John

63
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: Smelking those guys up there in New York are kind

64
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: of thinking the same thing we are. You know that.

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: You know, you look at your team, you have a

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: talented team, You bring back a lot of the same players.

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: Oh that offensive line's gonna click, I'm talking about for

68
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yeah. Oh, the receivers are gonna click. Oh

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna run the football. Oh, they're gonna play good

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: run defense. Oh, they're gonna, you know, be great in

71
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: scoring defense. You know. And then all of a sudden

72
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: you look at and you're like, well, that's not right,

73
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: and you have to review some Yeah, you have to

74
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: review some things. And a lot of those players that

75
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: we saw that we thought were in the opening week

76
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: that we really really worried about, have let them down

77
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. And I think you could kind of

78
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: say the same for really for the Cowboys as well.

79
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: And the reason why you're you're sitting here at two

80
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: and three right now, absolutely so you know, it dawned

81
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: on me, what did Tony Orlando and Don Washington is

82
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: the only team in the NFC East that has beatn

83
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: a team that currently has a winning record. The Eagles

84
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: know who they beat. They beat the Rams. The Eagles

85
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: have beat Washington, which is two and two. Right, they

86
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: beat the Giants, Chargers one and four and Arizona two

87
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: and three. Right, they lost the only team with a

88
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: winning record that was Kansas City. The Cowboys have beaten

89
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: two teams with losing records. Obviously, the Giants haven't beaten anybody,

90
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: and Washington at least for their two wins of beating

91
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: the Rams in Oakland. Yes, that oak wind was big,

92
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: soa sit here they still had Derek Carr. Now sit

93
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: here and talk about Philadelphia. Well, okay that now go

94
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: beat somebody, and the same thing with the Cowboys, go

95
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: beat somebody. You know what Philadelphia has been able to do, though, Guys,

96
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: they've done a really good job of stopping the run.

97
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: And I know it might be the opponents, but I

98
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: think they've given up about sixty nine yards a game

99
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: on the ground. Defensively, we think about you know, it

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: looks like that they're making some plays through the air.

101
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: The quarterback looks a little bit more solid, you know,

102
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't the ball going down the field. I mean,

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: I was watching the game, but they're playing the other

104
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: day against Arizona. I look up, it's third nineteen and

105
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: they throw the ball to Nelson Aguilar for seventy six

106
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: yards down the field, and you're going, you know, and

107
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: that's against the Arizona secondary that we you know, we

108
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: felt like that two or three good players in that group.

109
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, I understand who you play and how they

110
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: play and all that. I just I think that right now,

111
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles are the most complete team in the division.

112
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: They're getting to play that. You know, they had a

113
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: sixty one yard field goal to win a game. That's

114
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: a special team's win right there. You know. They're defense. Yeah,

115
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean that's I think that's where teams. I think

116
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: that's where the teams are struggling a little bit right now.

117
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: Is has anybody in the division really played a complete

118
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: game where you have oftense defense, special teams getting you

119
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: through these games. Well, I like what Mickey said, and

120
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: so that made me wonder, who did the Eagles have

121
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: up next? Carolina? Yeah this weekend? Well, maybe we find

122
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: Actually Thursday, isn't it said Thursday Night game twelve? It

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: is Thursday. Yeah, how exciting. We finally get a good

124
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: Thursday night game that everyone's going to be interested in. Yeah,

125
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: we have some good time. Further bye, way, you didn't

126
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: watch that Donnie Brook last night? Two three two score

127
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: into the house. That's your Bears. Though, that's a three

128
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: two three. I thought I had turned the baseball game

129
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: one by stake? Is that the final score? Non? Some team? Okay?

130
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, well in a soda kicked a

131
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: field goal late twenty something seconds left. Yeah, I like

132
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Brian and the Cowboys are overall sitting

133
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: at number twelve in the NFC to vision in Philadelphia,

134
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay and Caroline sitting in the top three with

135
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: four and one records. So, but they've got to play everybody.

136
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: The Cowboys of play sure with the exception of a

137
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: couple of games, and they're they're place game right. They

138
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: got the forty night I mean, they got um the Bears,

139
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: but they also got Carolina. Right, let's go figure see

140
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: this This would be to me though. Yeah if Carolina

141
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: with you know, Carolina two really nice wins. They go

142
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: to Foxboro and get a win, and they go to

143
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: Detroit and get a win. So hopefully you know that

144
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Philadelphia having to travel. I believe Philadelphia travels there this week,

145
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: are you know Thursday? They do? Yes, And so you know,

146
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: Cam Newtonham keep it going. Now, that's but that's an NFC,

147
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, depending on seating sometimes doesn't matter. We make

148
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: a you know, you had the best record in the

149
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: league last year and didn't get it done, and so

150
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: sometimes seating does matter, and sometimes it doesn't. But yeah,

151
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: if you're a Cowboy fan, of course you're hoping that

152
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and him continue to to do the things

153
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: that they've been able to do to win it New

154
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: England and to win it at Detroit. Yeah. Who who's

155
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: who are the Eagles opponents corresponding opponents Carolina? And who

156
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: else be the Bears? The Bears so as opposed to Atlanta,

157
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta the Green Bay. Yeah, but Carolina is right there

158
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: with Atlanta and Green Bay right now. First, So now

159
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: first schedule matters. It's one game now, okay, but right, yeah,

160
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: but you guys, God take care of business though, and

161
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: you know what, they got to play the Cowboys twice. Yeah,

162
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: so take care of your own business. That's right. There's

163
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: that Cowboys do have five division games now left, so

164
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: you take care of your division business and you're still

165
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: in position to win your division getting the playoffs. So

166
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, the thing that I'm thinking about is that

167
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: last week the games are always said at noon, and

168
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: certain games get flexed. Right now, the Cowboys are slated

169
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Week seventeen to be playing the Philadelphia Eagles at noon.

170
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: Last year it stayed at noon. Really nice, got home

171
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: in time this year. What are you worried about New

172
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: Year's Eve or what I mean? Sort for everybody. I know,

173
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't have a social life, social director, but no

174
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: social life. You can get a get a victory in

175
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: you party on the flight the way home. Yeah, but

176
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I hope it stays in noon. Yeah.

177
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: You know, you know the thing about though the East,

178
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: the division games, that's what you got to you know,

179
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have found ways to I mean last year

180
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: though they took three division losses, which were the only

181
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: three losses during the year, but they were able to

182
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: beat the you know, the AFC North and then you know,

183
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: able to get through the NFC North and that might

184
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: be you know, depending on how things are going to

185
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: go right now. I mean that's a you know, Seattle,

186
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking at some of these teams down the line, though,

187
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: you know, do you really trust some of these teams?

188
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: Do you really now trust Oakland? Do you really now

189
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: trust you know, what you're going to see in Seattle

190
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City looks like a for real team, you know,

191
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: and then we quarterback doesn't turn the ball over. Yeah,

192
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean Alex Smith has played almost perfect. Yeah, And

193
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: that's what they do. I mean, they've got you know,

194
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: they've got a rookie rusher that's much like what was

195
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: Zeki Elliott. They've got some you know, good design scheme wise. Defensively,

196
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: they're they're not as great as they've been in the past.

197
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: But I think to me, though, that you just play

198
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: the games and you see what happens, and you know

199
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: the but the the one when you have opportunity like

200
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: the Rams game, and you have an opportunity, and you

201
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: have an opportunity like in the Packers game, you know

202
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: that that's what that's what hurts you down road. We

203
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: spoke about it yesterday, is you lose that Rams game,

204
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: which look, they're three and two they're not a bad team. No,

205
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: we don't think so. Anyway, still should have beat him, okay,

206
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: And by virtue of that, then you look at the

207
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: schedule and you're like, you may have to go to

208
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: atlant and you know you may have to steal one

209
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: right and on paper looks like a tough win Kansas

210
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: City at home, you know, Yeah, yeah, I mean, I

211
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: always know what you said about Alex Smith. He's near

212
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: perfect as quarterback round one twenty five doesn't He doesn't

213
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: have an interceptions I think to intercept. Yeah, I think

214
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: him and Drew Brees are the only two quarterbacks that

215
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: don't have an interception in my right of the top

216
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: ones in the NFL has one, Yeah, Breese says one

217
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: case Keenum, there you go. Zero. But here's the deal

218
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith. His average gain per attempt eight point eight.

219
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: That's rare for him. It usually was probably five or six.

220
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: He is usually one of the lowest rating when it

221
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: comes to yards per attempt. He is leading the league

222
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: eight point eight. He's not a bus driver, man. Well,

223
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: but you know they throw the ball to that runner

224
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: and runner can can scoot. I mean he gets a

225
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: lot of sixty five yard You know, sixty yard plays,

226
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: throw it to him maybe at five yards and there

227
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: he goes kind of a thing. But they've got weapons.

228
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got hill, they've got guys. I mean,

229
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: we'll catch him here in a couple of weeks and

230
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: talk about it'll be one of those you know, Okay,

231
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: who do you try and stop bits? But like Micky said,

232
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: take care of your division. Yeah, go find a way

233
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: to win. You gotta now, you're gonna have to go

234
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: win a game at Philadelphia, You're gonna have to win

235
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: a game at New York, You're gonna have to win

236
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: a game at Washington. Find a way to win those games.

237
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: That's the most important thing. Kareem Hunt kind of seems

238
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: like they're Dak Prescot. You know, he's having this stellar

239
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: season and he wasn't even supposed to be the starter,

240
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: and they his first play a fumble. Boy, Yeah, he

241
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: was good at Toledo's really really have two hundred against

242
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: this run defense? Yeah? Yeah, very well could And did

243
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: you guys, did you know who Aaron Jones? Not you?

244
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah you guys hashtag draft show? When's your draft show? Yeah? Yes, yeah,

245
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: Well you're already giving up on the season. You're having

246
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: a draft show. No, no, no, no, no, not at all.

247
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: And there's people on Twitter, Mickey, I know you look

248
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: like me, right yeah. Yeah, there's people on Twitter like, well,

249
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: you're already given up. And no, it's not a give up.

250
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: It's just it's our opportunity to, uh, we like to

251
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: go and kind of reset where the draft went. And

252
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: then thank you, Ken Garrison, appreciate that. But yeah, we'd

253
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: like to reset the draft, but maybe and giving an

254
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to look at some head look at that. Okay,

255
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: well I have a strong question. I was saving it

256
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: for later, but I think it comes back to the

257
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: draft show, and it comes back to where this team

258
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: is sitting. Obviously, Ezekiel Elliott not having quite the start

259
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: of the season that he did last year. Year he

260
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: ended the season with sixteen three one rushing yards, one thousand,

261
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: six hundred thirty one rushing yards, fifteen rushing touchdowns an

262
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: average five point one yards per carry. He's on pace

263
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: this season for one two hundred and fifty eight rushing yards,

264
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns and with a three point seven yard

265
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: average this season. And you know, let's not forget what

266
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: could possibly happen this week. With the decision. But sure,

267
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: what I want to ask you guys, you know, looking

268
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: at this, Tuesday is Tuesday. I think today's a day myself,

269
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: that's what we said. This is my phones on. Yeah,

270
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm ready for this. I'm ready for somebody to come

271
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: tweeting that out. But I can already interrupted. No, no,

272
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: that's good. But the question I want to ask, and

273
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: I think this is this is an overview show, so

274
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: just go with me. If you could go back, are

275
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: you sure that you wouldn't have wanted to draft Jalen

276
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: Rams over Ezekiel Elliott, who was the cowboys other option

277
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: sitting there at number four. You know, obviously he went

278
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: to the Jacksonville Jaguars and currently right now in the

279
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: season according to some Pro Football Focus. Yeah, right now,

280
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: let's get the bible out. I just wanted to get

281
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: that out of the way so before anyone asked me.

282
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: He's the number three ranked cornerback in the league, so,

283
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, and the Cowboys having their issues at cornerback

284
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: looking very thin back there. Yeah, I still think they

285
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: did the right thing. I think they they made the

286
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: decision to draft a guy that can help their offense

287
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: and their defense. In turn, by what he can do

288
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: ball control, power, running, game time and possession, all those things.

289
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: And they did that against the Packers. They really did

290
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: exactly what they've set out to do and what they

291
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: did for the majority of last season. They had a

292
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: bunch of five minute drives. People knitpicked the last scoring driver.

293
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: They left time for Rogers at the end, but it

294
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: was seventeen plays almost nine minutes. Mean that's how they

295
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: play offense. It seems like they're starting to find some

296
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: traction there. The other thing too, for me, Jane rams

297
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: is having a terrific career. They may have found a corner,

298
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: but they have found a cornerback in Jordan Lewis. He

299
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: looks like that. He looks like a guy who's going

300
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: to be a starter for this team for many years

301
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: to come. The way he's playing already. Gave up the

302
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: touchdown at the end, but he has been terrific making

303
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: plays on the ball, making tackles, being physical. They're really

304
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: happy with his progress so far. And Ramsey played a

305
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: run back to that run defense. Ye awful. Yeah no

306
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: to me. I totally agree with what Rob's said here

307
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: about about Ezekiel Eliott, you know, and I I respect

308
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's game. I mean, when we were evaluating him

309
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: last year, we thought he was one of the top corners,

310
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, in the league, and so or two years ago.

311
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: I have no problem with the way the direction that

312
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys went because I honestly believe they drafted Ezekiel

313
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: if to help Tony Romo. Absolutely, yeah, I thought, yeah,

314
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean they were trying to trying to help him

315
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: in the latter part of his career, or give him

316
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: a running game, be a play action team. You know.

317
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: He actually benefited Dak Prescott, you know, and then it

318
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: got Dak Prescott to the point where even without a

319
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: running game, now he's now at least he has an

320
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: understanding of how he needs to make plays to be effective.

321
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I still have no problem with you know,

322
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: we and I hate to think about this because of

323
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: what they did with the pick with with mo claiborne,

324
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, and how that worked out and it and

325
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: it didn't. I mean, Moji couldn't stay healthy, which was

326
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, which was a problem in itself. But I

327
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: do believe, you know, the guy led the league in rushing.

328
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: He was the offensive rookie of the year, Am I right?

329
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: And what award did he win? I mean he was

330
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: something or was that Prescott was offensive rookie? There was?

331
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah no, but yeah, first team all problems.

332
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you did the right thing there,

333
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: I really do. And you know is is it started

334
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: off slow this year? Yes, but I know a lot

335
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: of teams in the league that would love to have

336
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: a twelve hundred yard rusher at the end of the

337
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: day if they could, if that's in fact what he's

338
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: going to be like Arizona. Yeah, well they traded for

339
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: a guy today. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely sorry, shout no

340
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: better talked about it before you get Yeah, well, before

341
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: we get to the run defense of what Mickey brought up,

342
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: which is a great point because this team is looking

343
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,840

Speaker 1: got an issue, not a hamstring like this team who's

407
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: having hamstring issues, especially with Shaun Lee who who sat

408
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: out again last week. So this team is greatly missing him.

409
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: But guys, Mickey brought it up. The Cowboys were fifth

410
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL last year for points aloud, in fourteenth

411
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: in yards allowed. Right last season, what were they against

412
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: the run? I didn't get that one, number one, number one,

413
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: number one run defensive. Now they're twenty ninth and nineteenth

414
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: in those categories for points allowed in yards allowed and

415
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: so far what is the points aloud nineteenth tenses nineteen oh,

416
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: the points allowed twenty ninth. Okay, they went from eighteen

417
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: to nineteen. Ye last week? Got you now thirty five

418
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: points in each of their losses and two in the third. Yeah,

419
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: but at least what I was saying, at least thirty five, No, no,

420
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: thirty five, thirty five, yeah, and then forty yeah, at

421
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: least thirty five and allowing four point six yards per

422
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: rush tip for twenty fifth in the NFL. So yis

423
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: they've gave it up one hundred and sixty yards rushing

424
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: at least three times in five games, and they've lost

425
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: all three games. And I went back and looked at it.

426
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: Since Rod Marinelli has been the defensive coordinator here for

427
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: four seasons, now, that's happened. I think eight times, they're

428
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: like one in seven when they do that, so you

429
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: just can't. That's the thing about this game last week.

430
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: Brian was like, you knew Aaron Rodgers was gonna get

431
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: some gash you at times in the passing game, and

432
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: what they expected to do was stop the run. Yeah,

433
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: it was way too balanced for him. I was talking

434
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: some guys in Green Bay last night and they they

435
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: were they were surprised to how well they ran the football.

436
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: You know, they they they thought that they liked Jones

437
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: a lot, Rodgers likes Jones, but they were they were

438
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: surprised that the amount of success that they were able

439
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: to have running to football. They were worried about their

440
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: offensive line, their ability to block and create any kind

441
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: of lanes. And you know the thing with Jones is

442
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: they still like, yeah, but he didn't fumble. You know,

443
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: that's they're kind of like worried. That's you know, that's

444
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: one of their deals. They you know, he he known

445
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, he's known for that. So you know,

446
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: they were, but they they ever got hint. They knew

447
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: Rogers was gonna play. They knew Rogers was gonna play well,

448
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: but they knew but they didn't think that Jones was

449
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: going to be that They thought that would get some

450
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: traction with him, but not to the level that they

451
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: were able to get. I think they found something with

452
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: his speed. They did. They got to the line of

453
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: scrimmage like boom. That's what they say. The quickness that

454
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: the one trait that they really do like from him

455
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: is the is the quickness. And and he's different from

456
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: Montgomery in that way. He's not the pass catcher, yeah,

457
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, but he's a surely the explosive player that

458
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: we saw so other than missing Sean Lee, which is huge. Yeah,

459
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: in this running game, when you only have two defensive

460
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: linemen with more than two tackles, yeah, you got a problem.

461
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: So you had Lawrence and you had Irving. Collins had two, right,

462
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: he had two guys with one more and Crawford and

463
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: the other three guys they zeroed out and they played.

464
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: Now I know they didn't play. You know, probably twenty

465
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: some snaps. But between Price, Mayo and Charlton zero zero zero,

466
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: you can't have that line. Just get one line linebackers

467
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: or safeties can you can? You put them one? Two three?

468
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: There was a couple of missed tackles in the hole

469
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: by the linebackers. Yeah, safeties, Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

470
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: If you put those guys just not holding up on

471
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: the line, you had to rank where it. Yeah, the

472
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: deficiency of problems. I'm not asking any players, but just

473
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: give me the linebackers one, two, and three. If you

474
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: linebackers hadn't been good, no, that's there were too many

475
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: times you saw the linebackers getting washed out of the play. Yeah.

476
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: On tackling from behind, yeah, I totally where you've seen

477
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: him tackle, if they've made place five and six yards

478
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 1: down the field. That's that's the thing that's most concerning

479
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: to me. But well, hold on, let me ask you, Brian,

480
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: how much is Jalen Smith affecting this. Well, he's to me,

481
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: and the first thing, the first thing out of your words,

482
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: the first thing out of your mouth is what a

483
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: great story? Yeah, every time. But then now it's become okay,

484
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: can I rely on him? Down after down after down?

485
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: And I think the fact that he's been thrown into

486
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: the deep end of the pool, and even Stephen Jones

487
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: said this yesterday with Sean Lee and Hitchens both being

488
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: back on the field, that he will play less and

489
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing right now, To be honest,

490
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: with you, because to me, there's a lot of thinking

491
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: going on out there, and more thinking than reacting. And

492
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: then when when he turns into okay, now I have

493
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: to react and you don't make the play. You know,

494
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: in the preseason, we saw him step up and make

495
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 1: some physical tackles and then, like Mickey said, you had

496
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: a couple in the hole where he was waiting and

497
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you know you need to

498
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: attack those plays. But I with Jalen, it's he needs

499
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: a break. He really really needs a break. He needs

500
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: to come off the field for a bit and let

501
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: things kind of reset for him. He played less in

502
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: this game, but when you go back to the Rams

503
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: game and he played every snap and we're talking seventy

504
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: defensive snaps, like that's that's two too many for any

505
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: young player. And I'm not even factoring in the injury

506
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: that he's overcome. It's just that's a lot, and and

507
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: that that can expose some things for a young player

508
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: every time now and then, so I think you try

509
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: to get him in a situation where you give him

510
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: a package of plays but not forcing him to be

511
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: on the field all all of that playing time a lot.

512
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: It's a lot. I see you looking up some difference.

513
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: I was trying to look up the plays, the play time, Yeah, percentages.

514
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: You feel like he's played too much? Yeah yeah, and

515
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: they're starting to get diminishing returns. And if you notice,

516
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: they basically got him off when went to the deacon

517
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: right and they had two linebackers right and then the

518
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: two linebackers go the wrong way. Two linebackers that they

519
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: had him on the nickel most of the time, but

520
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: Durant was coming in right. You know, you had Durant

521
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: in there, who hadn't played that much Hitchens that's his

522
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: first game, no Lee, and you know, and then Jalen

523
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: trying to play through somewhat of a handicap. So you're

524
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: so the way, maybe if I'm reading you wrong, correct me.

525
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: D line one, safety two, linebacker three, I would go

526
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, because the safeties have missed too many tackles,

527
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: that's all. Yeah, I mean, and a matter of fact

528
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm the champion of a play the

529
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: young kids and Xavier Woods in the last drive missed

530
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: a couple of tackles. Yeah, that's that's I mean. Your

531
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: safeties are missing tackles. You know, your defense is going

532
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 1: to be bad. Your defense is gonna be bad when

533
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: your linebackers and your safeties are missing tackles. Yeah, Jalen

534
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: Smith leading the team with forty one combined tackles. Obviously

535
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: shun Lee and de Law follow behind him. But then

536
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: Byron Jones, your safety has eighteen combined tackles. It's probably

537
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: probably needs off. Yeah, probably a drop off right there

538
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: for sure. So you know, and then it's you're looking

539
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: at different things like that. You're looking at the dbs obviously,

540
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: not just safeties, but cornerbacks Jordan Lewis and Anthony Brown

541
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: are the only ones with lone interceptions. Yeah, you know,

542
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: I was looking at. Cowboys have scored a total of

543
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns to start the season, opponents fifteen as well.

544
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: Now the Cowboys have two more rushing touchdown, opponents have

545
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: two more return touchdowns. Obviously, keep Ti Leaves pick six

546
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: and then this past weekend pick six. So that makes

547
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: a difference, and you know that's where you need your

548
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: defense to step up and to have those plays that

549
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: will get you over the edge. The takeaways are big,

550
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: the lack of takeaways. They haven't had one in the

551
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 1: last three games, and you think about how close all

552
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: three of those games were. I mean, you guys, want

553
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: to hear something funny. Yeah, the last time the Cowboys

554
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: had a defensive touchdown, Orlando McLean in November of twenty

555
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: fifteen intercepted Mimi Dolphins. Yeah that's yeah, that's a Tony

556
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: Romo game. That's a blast from the past right there.

557
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 1: We were all flying home thinking the season was saved, right,

558
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: and win them all and then Carolina. Then the Carolina

559
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: game the next week. I think, happy Thanksgiving? Sad and

560
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: funny it is, But isn't that sad that that's the

561
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: last oh it is touchdown? Well, they've it's it's amazing

562
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: for a team that works as hard as they do

563
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: to create turnovers. You know, yeah, they drill it like crazy.

564
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: We so many days of even incomplete passes on the ground,

565
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: somebody's picking up the ball and running and they're forming

566
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: a wall to you know there there. It's not from

567
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: a lack of trying to prepare for turnovers, you know,

568
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: but you know, we look at how they were. Hey,

569
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: the fumble in Denver, you know that was a good

570
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: scoop by a defensive lineman and you know, a way

571
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: you go. But yeah, for somebody that works as hard

572
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: as they do to try and create turnovers, it just

573
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: has not worked out. Yeah, and then obviously everyone knows

574
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: the storyline of a DeMarcus Lawrence and what a career

575
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: season he's having with eight point five sacks, But MALIEK.

576
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Collins is second with two point five. That's where I

577
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: see an issue. Yeah, I was thinking that MALIEK. Collins

578
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: was going to be in that six seven eight sack range,

579
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, and he still might be. But to Mickey's point,

580
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, MALIEK. Collins hasn't been as a dominant player

581
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: if I'm using the right word dominant player in the

582
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: on the run, in the run side of things. You know,

583
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: he's been getting locked, he's been he's been getting as

584
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: Rob say, he's been getting washed. He's been getting turned,

585
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, ball going up inside. He hasn't made those

586
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: across the line of scrimmage place. I was expecting him

587
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: to be a big quickness tackle for lost guy. Okay,

588
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: second and twelve guy. I was expecting that, but it

589
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: hasn't really materialized for him. Now he's helped he's helped

590
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Uh Lawrence get some sacks, but his numbers are not

591
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: anywhere near where I thought he would be. I mean,

592
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: that's supposed to be your playmaker on the line. I

593
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: totally agree. Yeah, yeah, it hasn't happened. Hadn't happened at all. Yeah. Now,

594
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: another guy that I personally believed had a great training camp.

595
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: I really expected bigger things from him. Haven't seen that

596
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: so far. Kyle Wilbur only as one tackle on the season. Yeah,

597
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: what's going on with him? Well, he's not on the field.

598
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: Might you might start seeing him more though? I mean

599
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: he played the other day, lay the other day. He

600
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: was on the base. But he was I mean he

601
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: was just a special teams Yeah, he was. He played,

602
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: he played a little getting more involved. Yeah, well they

603
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: actually he I wrote about this. He was good on

604
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: the screen on the sack by Crawford. He was good

605
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: on that because he read the play and he was

606
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: able to get over and get Jones. But there was

607
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: a couple of different times, like on some other plays

608
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: that the balls that went to the edge, I want't

609
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: even say the crack, the fourth and one flip that

610
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: they ran, they caught him inside, you know, I mean

611
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: it was a couple of times here's a guy that's

612
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: playing because they think that the other guy because the

613
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: other guy makes Yeah, yeah, exactly. So now you're your

614
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: backup guy. Dam yeah, Damian Wilson's your starter. Now your

615
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: backup guy is you're putting him in to to bridge

616
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: because you're not getting what you want from your starter.

617
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: Well then all of a sudden you put him in

618
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: the game, and now he's making the same mistakes that

619
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: the starter's making, and and you're now, now what do

620
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: you do there? And you know, I thought, Kyle Wilber,

621
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: you're right, Tay. I thought in training camp he's, you know,

622
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: kind of Kyle Wilber. He was a feisty Yeah, yeah,

623
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: you have a little bit better season. But you know,

624
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: to Mickey's point, not playing as much they play him

625
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: in the game. He has one good play and three

626
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: bad ones. So when he gets back, is it Lee

627
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: Smith and Hitchens? I think that they. I don't think

628
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: they want to move Lee from the Will linebacker or not.

629
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: And I don't necessarily think it Anti hitchens best spot

630
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: is the Sam linebacker. He's played it, but he's played it.

631
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: He's played it, and I don't think it's his best spot,

632
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: but he's played it. So if you want to put

633
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: your best three on the field that can tackle. I

634
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: think you have to include him as your SAM linebacker.

635
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 1: And then when you go to the nickel, I think

636
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: you take Jalen Smith off the field. And but that

637
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: means that Hitchens and Lee play the whole game. You know,

638
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: that's basically what's going to turn into. And you know

639
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: if they keep giving up run and don't get off

640
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: the field, and it's sixty seventy plays a game, that's

641
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: a lot of plays for those guys to have to

642
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: play with eleven straight weeks. Now, yeah, well, let me

643
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: switch over to the other side of the ball, and

644
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: I have a question for you rub First, what surprises

645
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: you more when I tell you these two stats. Dez

646
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: hasn't had a one hundred yard receiving game. Came close.

647
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: Zeke has only had two one hundred yard receiving games

648
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: against running Yeah, I mean yeah, rushing, rushing yea, yeah,

649
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: so rushing and receiving. Zeke's only had two one hundred

650
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: yard rushing games. And Dez hasn't had a one hundred

651
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: yard receiving game. I'd say, Zeke, you know, we've we've

652
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: talked about Dez and Daks still trying to get on

653
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: the same page at times. But you saw a lot

654
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: of games last year that they won, and I know

655
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: this year is different. Every year is different. Where the

656
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: receiving stats, the passing stats, they don't look that great

657
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: on paper, but the focal point is they're running the ball.

658
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: Zeke's getting one hundred plus yards every time, he's averaging

659
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: five something yards per carry, and they're winning games that way,

660
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: and they're converting third downs when they have to. In

661
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: the passing game and the run game, to me, has

662
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: been the biggest surprise offensively that they haven't found consistency

663
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: with it. I do think the fourth quarter they stuck

664
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: with it. They were persistent with running the ball despite

665
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: the score, and eighty five yards in the fourth quarter

666
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: for Zeke. Hopefully that's something to build on, assuming he's

667
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: eligible to play and is still on the field. Why

668
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: because teams are trying to take Ezekiel Elliott out of

669
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: the game, and if they're doing that, then you ought

670
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: to be able to beat him with your star wide receiver. Yeah,

671
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: and the the fact that he hasn't yet and I'm

672
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: not I'm sorry, I'm not buying the same page thing.

673
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: They got to play better, but they just devil's advocate, right, Yeah,

674
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: they loaded boxes last year. Yeah, there's only so many

675
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: guys you can put in the box. But what did

676
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: they do They passed their way out of it, or

677
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: they ran against them. Well, they ran on eight man

678
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: fronts last year. It's sometimes it's more than a night

679
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: man front and it's not the same offensive line. And

680
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: that's the problem. That's the problem with the des part,

681
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: also with the When the protection is not as good

682
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: as it should be, then you have trouble getting the

683
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: ball down the field. You know, this last game, they were,

684
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: they were working them, they were using them. But again

685
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: the way the Packers played it, they said, no, you're

686
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: not going down the field. You can have all the

687
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: Witten and Beasley you want underneath each eat your heart out,

688
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: but you're not. And they were, you know that that

689
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: safety was running over there. Um. So I think it's

690
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: a somebody else has got to emerge. It's sort of

691
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: like what's going to happen defensively with DeMarcus Lawrence. Somebody

692
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: else has to emerge because teams can see they're not

693
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: they're not. You know, I'm not saying we're smart, but

694
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: we can see it what they're doing what do you

695
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: think we're surprised by the rush? The rush? Yeah, and

696
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: I think that I think the one thing that and

697
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: I think Mickey makes a great point though, I really

698
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: really do, and it made me think about this, But

699
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: I think the rush because I had a lot of

700
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: faith in the offensive line, even with the changes that

701
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: they were going to make. I felt like that if

702
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: four of the five could really play well, then you

703
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: could probably still run the football. I feel like though

704
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,959
Speaker 1: with with the thing with with Dez is that he's

705
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: drawn some very difficult corners against him. It's fair, Yeah,

706
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: I think that to me, you know, I if you

707
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: said who who has a better chance of winning matchups consistently,

708
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: I would say the offensive line has better chance of

709
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: winning more matchups than Dez and I And so you know,

710
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: I like, I say, Mickey makes a great point. He

711
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: really really does. And you know, you the the surprising

712
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: thing about it is that that they haven't run the

713
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: football as well. You know that that that to me

714
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: has been just almost shocking. But you know, teams, it's

715
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: a little bit about who you're who you're playing. And

716
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: I think Dez Bryant, especially early, drew so many bad

717
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: matchups for him, and he finally got a matchup this

718
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: past week where they were able to kind of take

719
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: advantage of that a little bit, and in some instances

720
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: it's that's fair. And in the run game too today

721
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: they faced him really good defensive fronts for Zeke as well.

722
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: It's just tough to look at this stat sheet and

723
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: see three point seven yards of carry was Zeke. It's

724
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: just not what you're customed to it. And watching the

725
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: game the other day, I just I looked at the

726
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: at the box score at one point and he's averaging

727
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: two yards of carry, and it just didn't seem like

728
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: it was that little. And I gave him a lot

729
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: of credit for the dirty yards he was able to get.

730
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: It was tough sledding for a long time in that

731
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: game the other day the other day, and he was

732
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: able to get some things moving for them despite what

733
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: he was up against. After three quarters, he was sixteen

734
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: for thirty one. Yeah, sixteen for thirty one, right. He

735
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: did five yards yeah yeah in the fourth quarter, and

736
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: then he had a twenty five yard run. The crack

737
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: toss really kind of got things open in one run

738
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: and almost he almost had more than what he had

739
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: the first three quarters right, but it wasn't there. They

740
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: give it to him sixteen times. Sure, yeah, it's crazy. Well,

741
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: let's take our final break here in the SBbc Morgat

789
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: lot of games came pretty close. Well, they didn't let

790
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: the other teams. That's yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, take

791
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: advantage of that. Mick. Next, I'll let you know. I

792
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: was just you had me confused. I was. I'm sorry,

793
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm confused, just kind of a weird topsy turvy Tuesday.

794
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: He is, sure, especially on bye week time. So our

795
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: brains are everywhere, so give us a break if you

796
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: guys can. All right, question for you guys, what is

797
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: happening to this team in the third quarter, and I

798
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: asked that now, looking at how they're scoring and scoring

799
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: by periods in the quarter. In the first quarter, this

800
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: team has scored thirteen points total, the opponents have scored

801
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: twenty three. In the second quarter, however, this team has

802
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: scored sixty five points opponents thirty three. This is where

803
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: the question is. Seven points in the third quarter for

804
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, thirty seven for the other team, and

805
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: a rounded off the Cowboys get forty in the fourth

806
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: quarter and opponents thirty nine. Great, great minds, I'm writing

807
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: about this today. Actually, see we're just right here wayfall

808
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: then yep, go right to you for the end. Well,

809
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm in the process of trying to figure out why, right,

810
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: I'm actually writing this a right? Seven points now, yeah,

811
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: it's they scored seven against Arizona, right, yes, yeah, and

812
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: their scoreless in the other four is that right? Yeah?

813
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: So it's been it looks like it's been a different

814
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: issue each time, or a combination of issues. If you

815
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: look at like the Denver game, they were down twenty

816
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: eight ten when they got the ball in the third quarter.

817
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: You're playing from behind your one dimensional so I think

818
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: that's a factor. Um the Giants game and really this

819
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,959
Speaker 1: the Rams game too, they had some minus runs first

820
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: and second down put you behind the chains, so you

821
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: can't get traction that way. Penalty in the Giants game

822
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: on one of the drives, and I'm not sure what

823
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: the issue was on this past Sunday again, can actually oh,

824
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: they didn't have the ball at one time. They didn't

825
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: have the ball, so yeah, sometimes it's not having enough

826
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: time to get things going. So it's it's it's hard

827
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: to pinpoint one thing when you go look at your

828
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: for your numbers, look and see how many possessions they've

829
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: had in the third quarter. Yeah, because, off the top

830
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 1: of my head, if you're winning the toss and taking

831
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 1: the ball to start the game, the other team's getting

832
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: the ball to start the third quarter, right, and if

833
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: your defense can't get off the field, then there goes

834
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: half the first third quarter, that's right, And if you

835
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: go three and out, then you're not getting the ball past. Yeah,

836
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: and that's what happened in this game. Well, yeah, this game,

837
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: But there's also been times they punted on three straight

838
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 1: drives against the Rams. Was it all in the third quarter?

839
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: All in the third quarter? Yeah, it was, and that

840
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: didn't happen at all I think the season before. So

841
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: they just that was first and second down. They couldn't

842
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: run the ball. Yeah, so it's been a different thing

843
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: last time and the next one. Check that out what

844
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: their running stats are, and maybe this could be a

845
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: combined article. Yeah, do a double headline. Yeah, double headline.

846
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: We can share the research. Let me ask you this,

847
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: if you had the opportunity, would you play defense first

848
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: if you're the Cowboys, Because I'm thinking my strong suit

849
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: is offense and i want to go score rob go

850
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: defense first and try to get the ball second half.

851
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: I just think you got to execute better in the

852
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: third quarter. To me, it's what I've seen. It's more

853
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: about execution than not happening. Now. They didn't have the

854
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: ball much on Sunday in the third quarter, but I

855
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: think they've just got to do a better job execute

856
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: and play. You like playing defense first with this team, No,

857
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: I really don't, But I'm trying to think of a

858
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: way that maybe juice up the third quarter. Yeah, because

859
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: to me, one of the things that really bothered me

860
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: going into the at the end of the first half

861
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: the other day, Dallas couldn't score even though they had

862
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: the ball at the fifty yard line. I was hopeful

863
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: that they would get some type of points out of

864
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: that last drive because what I feared was that green

865
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: Bay had a score and then if you were gonna

866
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: just kill the half, you know, kneel it down whatever,

867
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, or not do anything, then green Bay was

868
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: going to get the ball back. So that lead that

869
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: you had, you know, you really weren't slowing them down.

870
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: I worried about the ball then taking the last drive

871
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: scoring and then taking the first drive and scoring in

872
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: the game. And but you know it's both team. I

873
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: mean they Dallas what Dallas punted once and green Bay

874
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: punted twice. Yeah, that just showed you that both offenses

875
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: were we're on the screws of trying to, you know,

876
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: do what they needed to do, and both defenses were

877
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: in the on the struggle. Bus Packers had the ball

878
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: in the third quarter eleven twenty eight. How many points

879
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: did they score the fourth, Well, they only scored up

880
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: bild goal in the they scored fifteen at the end

881
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: of the third quarter. They scored it, I mean they

882
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown on the first play of the fourth.

883
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: Okay scored it. But the drive right, all, okay, so

884
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: they got they got They got two touchdowns in the

885
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: fourth is that right? Then one at the end, Yeah,

886
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: for sure, I remember that. And they only had the

887
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: ball for over and then they had the touchdown on

888
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: the on the interception, so accidently they got They got

889
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: twenty one points, yes, in a matter of only having

890
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: the ball for what three minutes? Yeah? Uh? In the

891
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: third quarter, their possession time was no, no, the Packers

892
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: were huge. They killed the Cowboys in possession. No, no, no.

893
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, yeah, two sixteen to sixteen, and

894
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: they scored twenty one points. Seven of those came off

895
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: a pick six and then one play in the top

896
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: the first play of the fourth and then the last drive.

897
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: Think about that, they scored Cowboys had the ball the

898
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: whole time. Yeah, but the but that just shows you

899
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: though sometimes at time of possession it can be a

900
00:45:54,960 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: little bit misleading, just like targets a free yeah yeah,

901
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: time possession targets are always kind of yeah oh yeah,

902
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: me and making we were looking at them a lot

903
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: of incomplete passes that which one was that they threw

904
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 1: at his foot And I said, oh there target, it

905
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: was completely off and it was a target, but part

906
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: of that third quarter, and so I know when we

907
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 1: do research, we like to tie everything into a night.

908
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: Nice little conclusion was the Packers on their second possession

909
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: should have been third and twenty at the two yard line, right,

910
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: and they got out of the hole and then that

911
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: started a fourteen eighty eight yard drive. Yeah, I'll be

912
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: able to I'll be sure to include that in my story. Yes, guy,

913
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: that the guy's cheeks were still puffed out while Mayo

914
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: was laying on top of them. And by the way,

915
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: when I complained about the SEC referees in that Kentucky game,

916
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: the SEC came back and said their officials screwed up

917
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: that whole play. He should like, I'm thinking about replacing

918
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: Mike Pereo with you, yeah, or Landino. Those guys get

919
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: too technical. All you gotta do is look at it

920
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, that ain't right, that that

921
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: ain't right. The problem is a replace saved your at

922
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: least gave you a chance on the extension aerial view

923
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 1: whatever that aerial view whatever, that better bring that camera

924
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: with Yeah, the blump view is the best. That is

925
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: the absolute best. It was. It was bone crusher up there,

926
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: just so you know, giving he took a shot from

927
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: his camera that had he puts up in the ceiling. Yeah,

928
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: Christian's doing that up there. So it's pretty awesome. But

929
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: you know it's also awesome is Rob's pole? Yeah? Simple

930
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: one today, Mick I missed it, thank you, Tay, of

931
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: course she did. I mean I've not been on Twitter

932
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 1: the whole week, smart, stay off. Are you concerned about

933
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,919
Speaker 1: the Cowboys playoff chances after Sunday's loss? What's your level

934
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 1: of concern? There's three options that you're concerned A little,

935
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: a lot, or not at all? I feel like about

936
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: the doctor self, that's right? Can you can you put

937
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: not yet? It is early? It's early, right, So you

938
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: got the option of not at all or a little bit.

939
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: What's what's in between? Again? A little bit, a little bit.

940
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't see a dominant team so far in the

941
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: in the in the NFC. I mean I understand what

942
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: Carolina is doing right now, which is pretty special. You know,

943
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: going to win and get a Foxborough. New England's defenses

944
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: ranked thirty second in the league. Yeah, but no to

945
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: go win at Detroit, I thought was big. I don't know,

946
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: there's you know, I think you have to look at

947
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: really what the NFC East is and tell you did

948
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: a great job of kind of walking us through all that. Well.

949
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: I love what Mickey said about Eagles. Yeah, I'm cover four.

950
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: You know what I would Oh wait a minute, I

951
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: need a footnote. Yeah, I think you Mickey, No, I

952
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: think if you go through this, if you go through

953
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: and you need, of course, you're gonna have to win

954
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: these games. You know, San Francisco get you back to

955
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: five hundred, and then you go find a way to

956
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: win at Washington. You know, that's San Francisco game, the

957
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: trap game of this season. There's no trap games when

958
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: you're two and three. Yeah, you're you're just as you're

959
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: right there, right there. You just actually need San Francis

960
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: gonna win against Washington this week. That would be a

961
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,959
Speaker 1: big help. You're part of the bugs flat around that trap.

962
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: But I think that to me, I I if you

963
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: go and say you lose one of the two games

964
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: the either the Washington game or the San Francisco game,

965
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: I would be concerned. I would be concerned because you

966
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: got Kansas, Okay, Kansas sitting in Atlanta, and it's not

967
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: going to get any ease in Atlanta. On the road. Yeah,

968
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: so is your answer you're a little concerned or not

969
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: at all? No, No, I no, no, I would say,

970
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: I'm you're head in that direction. No, I don't want

971
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: to I don't want to ride the fence. I never

972
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: ever want to ride the fence. But I do believe

973
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: that these are these are games. And I thought the

974
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: Rams game was a winnable game too. Yeah. So going

975
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: to San Francisco, I mean, for a half last year,

976
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: you were, you know, nip and tuck with them for

977
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: their you know what was going on. But you find

978
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: a way that you lose one of these next two games.

979
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: I think you're I think you have to be concerned. Fair,

980
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: I'm sticking whatnot yet? Okay, tay, you go to two?

981
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: However that fits into those other two alternatives, I put

982
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. I'm the same way. I think at

983
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: two and three again, like losing a game at home,

984
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: that when you feel like you let one get away,

985
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: that's let two get away. Well, okay, fair, And that's tough.

986
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: That's tough in this league because there's the margin. Fair

987
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: is so slim. So I'll say a little bit. Fifty

988
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: percent of the fans said they're a lot concerned. If

989
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: that's a accurate they're probably yes, well they're but they're

990
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: listening to Mickey talk about the defense, and he's right.

991
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if if you're thinking that, you're a playoff team,

992
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: and the reason one of the reasons why they won

993
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: thirteen games last year was not just so much well

994
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: the offense, but you were one of the better teams.

995
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: You were the best team in scoring deef or top

996
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: five in scoring defense, and you didn't give up big

997
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: plays and you didn't allow teams to run the football.

998
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: This has been all the recipe that we've seen so

999
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: far for disaster in these games. You guys talked about it.

1000
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: One hundred and sixty yard rushers, you know, third down,

1001
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: the big third down conversions, untimely penalties when you have

1002
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: them deep into territory, no turnovers. You know, there's a concern. Okay,

1003
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: here's a bigger concern. Can't consistently run the football, you know,

1004
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: receivers not consistently getting open, you know, I mean, there's

1005
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: things muffpunt on special teams. You know, there's things that

1006
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: make you say I'm concerned, and I don't. I don't

1007
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 1: like there's enough body of work after five games to

1008
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: say this needs to improve. Is it's yeah, just an

1009
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: oversight at this point. If not, we've been through this

1010
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: before with this whole Oh we could turn it around

1011
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 1: and flip a switch bit. You know, but if you

1012
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: if you go out there and you lose to San

1013
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 1: Francisco and then you turn around and lose to Washington,

1014
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: or or you lose one of the two. I mean,

1015
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: now you're thinking about okay, if you just look at

1016
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: the way the schedule plays of the teams that are

1017
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: in front of you, you know, I mean you have

1018
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: to you have to be concerned because you gave away

1019
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: a game at the Rams, you gave away a game

1020
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: against Green Bay. Yeah. Oh, I like what you're saying

1021
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: about the division, because that's really who's gonna win that? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1022
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: Mickey's right. They're gonna play the same schedule. Philadelphia is

1023
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: gonna have to go to Denver or get Denver at home.

1024
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play the Raiders. You know, they're

1025
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to play who we said, Kansas City Raiders,

1026
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: San Diego LA. They've already played La. But you know,

1027
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: and and the Giants are not gonna go winless through

1028
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: this thing. They're gonna beat the red Skins, so they're

1029
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Eagles. They're they're gonna do something. You

1030
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: know that. It's it could very well mean nine ten wins.

1031
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,439
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be pretty, it's not gonna be easy.

1032
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: But that's kind of what the mode you're in right now.

1033
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: This Philly game, it's it's all. It's starting to become

1034
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: Giants Week one, Eagles week seventeen, and that game could

1035
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: very well be very meaningful to who wins this division.

1036
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: A very very year's day. Yeah, seven pm start time.

1037
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: But Washington's got the third place schedule right right. I

1038
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out who they if they if

1039
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: any team flipped already that was in third last year

1040
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,479
Speaker 1: might be good this year. Yeah. Um, well, and I'm sorry,

1041
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: I know the NFC North Detroit. Do they get Detroit

1042
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: or Minnesota? Well, Detroit was in second. It might be Minnesota,

1043
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 1: Minnesota Minnesota because they finished eight and eight in there,

1044
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 1: and then in seventh South they're gonna get New New

1045
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 1: Orleans seven and nine, I believe ye that's right, okay,

1046
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: or because Carolina was last and Tampa Bay right who

1047
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: won the division. Tampa didn't win the Division, Atlanta, Wan

1048
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: Division Tampa, they get New Orleans, right, Yeah, we'll see

1049
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: knock on wood. You know, I'm not saying talking about

1050
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: this because I hate it, but the Cowboys have been

1051
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: lucky enough with injuries. Where these other teams. I mean,

1052
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: you're looking at the Giants right now. I mean, I

1053
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: know what you're saying that they could go win one. Yeah,

1054
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: what are they here's the saving grace all the stuff

1055
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: we talked about. The two games they lost, at least

1056
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: they scored thirty points, right, So if you keep that up,

1057
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna some ball is gonna fall in your lap. Yeah,

1058
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: you just gotta make a play Robs, Right, He's gotta

1059
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: make a play at a significant time. Yeah, if you

1060
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: could have the other day, would have been a huge

1061
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: play in that just one. What did I tell you

1062
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: if if I said something, Jordan would do something. Jordan

1063
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: Lewis would have somehow come down with that ball, you know,

1064
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: on the first time they tried to Yeah, I mean

1065
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: hand up a swide. You know, if he's Orlando Scandrick

1066
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: had an opportunity. Orlando Scandrick, if you know he knocks

1067
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 1: the I mean they just have not got the brakes

1068
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: that Way and Ron Crawford with the ball in the

1069
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: Rams game. But you make your breaks, you really do.

1070
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: You make your breaks by getting to the football, tackling

1071
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 1: well and knocking it loose. And that's what this team

1072
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: in the past has been able to do. I mean,

1073
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: you remember the turnovers came in a bunches, Barry Church

1074
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: knocking balls loose. I mean, guys, were you know, knocking it.

1075
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, receivers were running, they get hit the balls

1076
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 1: on the ground and you don't throw the body catchers

1077
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: that too. Do you know what? That went back and

1078
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: looked at that. It hit him in his hands. It

1079
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: did hit him in his hands, but he couldn't he turned,

1080
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: he had to come. Yeah, he couldn't. He couldn't get it,

1081
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 1: couldn't get it. Such situated, you said, Okay, you scored

1082
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,240
Speaker 1: thirty plus points, you should win. There are three losses

1083
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: they've given up an average with thirty seven points. You

1084
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't give up north of close to forty.

1085
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: But if you keep scoring thirty, somebody's not gonna keep

1086
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 1: scoring three. You're not gonna help. You would hope against

1087
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,399
Speaker 1: I mean they drawn against Rogers and the Rams were

1088
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: averaging thirty five. I mean, goof Jed, goofy. If you

1089
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: could have Okay, let's talk about second second, a big

1090
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 1: picture after the bye. If you could get one area

1091
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: to play better, you know, and all the things we've

1092
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: talked about, what one thing would you try. We've talked

1093
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,439
Speaker 1: about turnovers, we've talked about past defense, we've talked about

1094
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: run defense, we've talked about running the football. What one thing,

1095
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 1: What if you could say, Okay, magically, everything is going

1096
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: to turn around for you after this bye. To me,

1097
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: it's it's run defense. Because they didn't generate a ton

1098
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: of turnovers last year. They got twenty. They need more

1099
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: of them. But they were able to get off the

1100
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: field with down in distance. They didn't allow a single

1101
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: one hundred yard rusher last year. Right, they can do

1102
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: that and get teams into third and eight, third, nine,

1103
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Got a better chance to get off

1104
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: the field. That's me. That's the biggest one. Yeah, they

1105
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,439
Speaker 1: can't link those big plays in the ground game because

1106
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: you're talking about these big games. Okay, Kareem Hunt, I'd

1107
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: like to see you have your worst days, Dallas scoutboys.

1108
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: So you're gonna say run defense, I would say I

1109
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,760
Speaker 1: would say run defense, but a close second is secondary

1110
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: and then maybe some different different things on the special

1111
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 1: teams area. I mean, very happy with Dan Bailey seven

1112
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 1: for seven. Great for you, Chris Jones. Great, let's get

1113
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: some bigger return returns. What do you got How about

1114
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 1: blocking the guys that come down as the gunners. Yeah,

1115
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:50,959
Speaker 1: the run defense, and then one CEE is the offensive line.

1116
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: Oh I like that. Yeah, I don't disagree. I think

1117
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: I think I think that I think they've been putting

1118
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: some Their ability to run last year put a lot

1119
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: of pressure on teams. Their their inability now to not

1120
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: defend the run has been able to It has helped

1121
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: a lot of teams and it's kept them off even

1122
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: though they had the time of possession against the Packers,

1123
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of it had to do with the turnover, right,

1124
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: as you got two possessions in a row. Right, got

1125
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: to get that offense on the field, right, If you're

1126
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: going to score thirty points a game, you need to

1127
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: get them out there as much as you can. Actually

1128
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: if you're not helping them, Yeah, yeah, I just I

1129
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: wish if the run defense was there. But the problem

1130
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: is you say play run defense and now you're throwing

1131
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: at a bunch of young guys in the secondary. I know,

1132
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm thinking back to the worst loss

1133
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: and I think unanimously we can all agree that was

1134
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos game. And of course you could say, oh, well,

1135
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: look at their defense, they're so amazing, you know, all

1136
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: the stuff. But Trevor Simeon and C. J. Anderson were

1137
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: a huge threat that day. And you know you're talking

1138
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: forty two points. Yes, some came from the defense, guys,

1139
00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: I get that, but what oh Brian said it that week. Yeah,

1140
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos offense won that game, being able to keep

1141
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense off the field. I think the Rams

1142
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: loss was the worst one they've had so far. That's

1143
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: the one. I mean, I know, the Packer one. I

1144
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: kind of my mind was thinking, it's Aaron Rodgers, as

1145
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: you it's going to be difficult, and I was hurt

1146
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: because they lost the way they lost, But the Rams

1147
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: one was the one that bothered me the most. Yeah,

1148
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: and who knows, they may come back to the Pack

1149
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: just the way they did. Sure last year, you never know,

1150
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: but you will know more when you tune into the
