<v Speaker 6>We're gonna talk to some big pictures. I'm gonna take

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 6>a big picture look at this team. I got a

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 6>few questions here to talk about some different topics around

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 6>the team.

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 2>We'll take a little bit of time.

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 6>To talk about the NFL and where we think the

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 6>NFC is, particularly in the NFC, how we think the

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.320
<v Speaker 6>teams are stacking up. Each of these guys give me

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 6>their top seven and then of course we will start

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 6>today with a.

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Little bit of news.

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 6>Cowboys working out a wide receiver, and normally when this

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.399
<v Speaker 6>name came up yesterday, when I first heard it, I

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 6>was thinking, okay, well they're just kind of looking around.

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 2>But then Jerry and his time with one O, five.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 6>Dot three of the Fan this morning mentioned on a

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 6>couple different occasions, well we got this wide receiver that

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 6>we're bringing in the workout today, which made me just

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 6>kind of like, is it that big of a deal

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.959
<v Speaker 6>Martevis Bryant, guy that hasn't played in the league since

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 6>I think twenty eighteen, So it made me think let's

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 6>at least have the conversation and see if there's anything

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 6>we should be thinking about here. Brian, I'll start with

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 6>you going back to your scouting of Martevis Bryant as

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 6>a player, and before you.

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 7>Even get into that, why do we need a wide receiver?

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh, we're going to We're gonna get to that.

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 2>We're going to that. We're going to let's start first.

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I got a plan.

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 7>Okay, I'm going to apologize.

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 6>But I do want to start first with saying, okay,

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 6>Martins Bryant, tell me about the player.

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 7>Sorry, proceed, he's gonna just.

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 6>One day, I don't know, one day He's not just

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 6>we're good.

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I just wanted to see the scenario first before

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 7>getting into the player. Yeah.

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 8>The thing with Brian is though, I I I think

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 8>it's an interesting look at a player just because of

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 8>the sis factor of the player.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh, the ability. I mean, I think this guy might

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 3>have some of that like Deebo Samuel type ability to

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 3>him when you hand him the ball, or you throw

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 3>him the ball, or you watch him run with the ball.

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 8>And unfortunately for him, you know, he got into a

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 8>situation with the league that they suspended him, and you know,

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 8>he missed the whole entire year. But you look at

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 8>this guy's body type, the plays that he has the

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 8>ability to make. Yes, it was you know, a few

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 8>years ago, but he's the type of guy that's got

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 8>something to his game. Back in the day, he was

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 8>a physical receiver, he was a physical runner. There were

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 8>things about him when you watched him play where you're

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 8>like going, gosh, that guy's kind of hard to deal with.

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 8>And you know, maybe that time has gone by, but

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 8>I always am interested in going back and looking at

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 8>players that might have come off from suspensions.

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, the.

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 8>We've seen guys in the past that have come and

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 8>they haven't been able to recoup or redo what.

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 3>They were once were.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 8>But this guy is an interesting one just because of

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 8>his background and where he was that before his suspension

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 8>was playing at a pretty high level. So I'm okay

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 8>with kicking the tires on something like this.

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Interesting thing about him. He's been in the league.

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 6>He came into the league in twenty fourteen, played fourteen

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 6>and fifteen, suspended for a season, Yeah, in fifteen, I

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 6>mean our sixteen, came back and played seventeen and eighteen

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 6>and has not played since twenty eighteen. So it's interesting,

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 6>like where is he as far as physically, I mean,

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 6>that's six years ago that you lasted, five years ago

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 6>you last played in the NFL. It's a long time

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 6>to not have taken an NFL snap. But obviously the

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 6>Cowboys are kicking the tires. And then I think the

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 6>natural question that comes from that, which goes to what

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 6>A was asking.

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Is why are the Cowboys looking for a wide receiver?

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 6>Does this at all say something about what they currently

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 6>have on the roster or is this a situation where

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 6>you just kicked the tires because he was a guy

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 6>at one point that was interesting to you.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 4>I think it's more so that than anything. I've been

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 4>kind of mugging around in my head for the past

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.239
<v Speaker 4>couple of days on this likely signing at this point.

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 4>And it's no harm, no file if you want to

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 4>give him a shot because you had some interest in

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 4>him a few years ago, And it's not like you're

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 4>trying to add him to the active roster and you're

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 4>going to sacrifice somebody's spot. It's a practice squad situation.

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 4>If it works out for you, great, If it doesn't,

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 4>what did it cost you? Right?

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 7>So time is money, time is fou.

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 4>He's going to be on the same field with the

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 4>same coaches and the same players as the other people.

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 4>So it's not that it's costing them any more time

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.159
<v Speaker 4>than if he weren't here. So to speak, my bigger

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 4>question is what are you expecting him to be? So

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 4>let's say it does work out, Like, what does that

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 4>look like for the Dallas Cowboys? Because what a success

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 4>look like?

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 6>Right?

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 4>What does the success look like for them? So if

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 4>he does come in and he's doing what they want

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 4>him to do, like, what does that create for them?

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 4>Because for me, even if you are of the subscription

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 4>that Michael Gallup might not be the answer. Okay, I'm

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 4>not quite there yet, especially seeing how he recovered in

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 4>the Philadelphia game after that drop. I would, for one,

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 4>like to see more snaps to Jalen Tobart. You've seen

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Tobart produce Tobert gets the touchdown. You see Jalen Brooks.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 4>He's the undrafted rookie, he's on the practice squad, he

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 4>was a standout in training camp. You have that as well,

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 4>so you already have some semblance of depth at the position.

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 4>Cavante turping is an option at wide receiver as well.

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 4>Behind you know Cookson and Ceede, Lamb and Gallop Jake Ferguson,

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 4>who I believe should be the number two target for

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 4>Dak Prescott until further notice. That's the only question I

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 4>have is if Martavis Bryant works out for the Cowboys

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 4>from a schematic standpoint, what does that look like for

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.280
<v Speaker 4>them at that position? And that's what I can't yet

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 4>figure out. And that's where you and I are on

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 4>the same page as far as kind of bumping our

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 4>head against that wall, like what are we not seeing

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 4>here behind that wall? But as far as risk reward

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 4>if it doesn't work out, Okay, no harm no foul

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 4>pennies on the dollar, you send him on his way.

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 4>If it does, where does that go? So that that's

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 4>kind of a great area for me right now.

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it makes zero sense to me whatsoever because of

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.479
<v Speaker 7>the needs. I mean, if you've been looking at a player,

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 7>what about a tackle? What a lot about an old

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 7>lineman that can be I didn't depth in hear when

0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 7>injuries keep piling up. So it's just it makes sero

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 7>sense to me. And on the other hand, But on

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 7>the other hand, I would say I do trust a

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 7>lot on the whole player acquisition, player evaluation Will McClain

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 7>and his group and everything that they've done when acquiring

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 7>talent they have history has shown that they've done enough

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 7>to back up a lot of the reasonings as to

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 7>them bring whoever they want to bring. So there is

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 7>that benefit of the doubt, like they know what they're

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 7>doing in that sense, But looking at everything that we've

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 7>been following this season, it really makes no sense either.

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm not going to put too much stock a

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 4>hype into it. You know, it's a name that was

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 4>big in his prime or his best days with Pittsburgh.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 4>I get that, but we're far removed from that, he's

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 4>not had a lot of time in the lead the

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 4>past several years. He's over the you know, event horizon

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 4>of being thirty. He's going to the practice squad, not

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 4>the active roster. You don't really need a body there,

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 4>so it's kind of a luxury item. So I mean,

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 4>just just calling it what it is, I'm not it's

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 4>not moving my needle one way or another. If it

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 4>works out, I'm interested to see what they would do

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 4>with that. If it doesn't, you know, life goes on.

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.679
<v Speaker 8>I think the quay the practice squad rules are now

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 8>with the way you're able to add veteran players. It's

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 8>to me if if you're really interested in a guy,

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 8>that's not a problem at all. I mean you could

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 8>work on the Yeah, it's not going to cost you

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 8>really any money, veteran minimum money probably you maybe even

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 8>practice squad money right now. If you have a deal,

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 8>we just elevate him. But you know, yeah, you keep

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 8>him on the practice squad. He goes out there, say

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 8>he does sign here, I think there's another team interesting Tennessee.

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 8>If he doesn't sign here, I think he's going to

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 8>go on to Tennessee and work out for them. So yeah,

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 8>So you know, there's there's if it was trying to

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 8>put a guy on the fifty three and having to

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 8>move on from So I think that's your story. I

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 8>think right now it's well, let's see if the guy

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 8>could practice. Does he look like this guy's six ' four,

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 8>two hundred and ten pounds and he's a big guy.

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 8>So there might be something that at thirty one years old,

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 8>halfway through the season, maybe the guy's kept himself in

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 8>incredible shape.

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 8>Maybe somebody a lot of times too, these could be

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 8>word of mouth thinks, you know, and maybe you're maybe

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.959
<v Speaker 8>Will is talking to another team or talking to another

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 8>guy and like, hey, have you have you done any

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 8>work on this Bryant? You know, I've got some tape

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 8>on him. I've seen some workouts. Or maybe an agent

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 8>called up Jerry, or called up called up Steven, called

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 8>up Mike McCarthy, you know, and said, hey, have you

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 8>guys taken a look at this this this Brian. He

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 8>looks like he's a you know, he looks like he's

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 8>in shape. You might want to bring him in just

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 8>to see. And that's how it happens a lot of

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 8>the times. It might not be for a reason other

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:52.439
<v Speaker 8>than that somebody that you trust as an evaluator has.

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.959
<v Speaker 3>Given you a tip to take a look at this guy.

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.439
<v Speaker 6>And that's the thing, Like, it doesn't necessary. I get

0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 6>your point, Amber, Like there are other positions that are

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 6>probably more important, but I do think it also it's

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 6>a matter of what's available at the time. Like there

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 6>may not be offensive line probably are not offensive linemen

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 6>that are just out there right now for you to

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 6>really look at every team a strapped for offensive lineman.

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:12.839
<v Speaker 2>Right, but there may be.

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.200
<v Speaker 6>Again, this opportunity just presents itself, and this is a

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 6>guy that's like, let's just take a look and see

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 6>and if he actually happens, actually it turns out to

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.160
<v Speaker 6>be a guy that even you can use on your

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 6>practice squad to present what you need to looks for

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 6>other teams play.

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Like you mentioned him looking maybe like a debo, right, if.

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 6>He has some of that ability, and if you got

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 6>to play San Francisco in the playoffs, it's a great

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 6>guy to be able through out there during practice to

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 6>be able to show you that.

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Look, right, yeah, there are certain things you can get

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 2>out of that.

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 6>Even if he never touches the field in a game

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 6>for the Cowboys, right, yeah, agree.

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 8>You know it's funny. You know, there was a time

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 8>in my life. There was a time in my life

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 8>where I always believe that, you know, you carried extra

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 8>linemen and all that. This past trading deadline proved my

0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 8>point wrong because Minnesota aided a starting offensive lineman to Jacksonville.

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 3>And anytime you say.

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 8>Go long at go along at defensive line, go long

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 8>at offense, it's hard to find these guys teams. You know,

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 8>we found the team that was willing to trade. It's

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 8>very very rare. And Minnesota did it before they were

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 8>starting this little run that they're on right now. They'd

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 8>won like two games in a row, and then at

0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 8>the trading deadline they trade one of their young starting

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 8>linemen to Jacksonville, another playoff team. So, man, you know

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 8>that's any time you ever hear me say, well, you

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 8>know you're never gonna find it. That's bs because people

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 8>will if you give somebody the right amount of trade compensation.

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.319
<v Speaker 8>And I'm trying to make it to Ambar's point, if

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 8>you want to go out there and to trade online,

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.960
<v Speaker 8>they wanted to go find an offensive lineman.

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 3>They could have gone and found an offensive lineman.

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Give up something for it.

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 3>You got to give up something for it.

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 8>Where's Where's like a time in my life where I

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 8>never believe that was ever gonna happen, and for a

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 8>long time it didn't. But in this day and age,

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.559
<v Speaker 8>there's two things I've learned. Your starting quarterback can be moved.

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 8>That when you can cut an Aaron Rodgers, you've proven

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 8>to me that you can go and get a quarterback.

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 8>Or someone's always willing to move on from their starting quarterback.

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 3>It used to be not that way. They'd keep those.

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 8>Guys and contracts would run out if there were no

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 8>good But now people trade for quarterbacks and they move

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 8>on from quarterbacks and elite type quarterbacks.

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're gonna take our first break.

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 6>When we come back, We're gonna talk a little bit

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 6>about the NFL, particularly the NFC. I'm gonna have these

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 6>guys rank in order the top seven teams in the

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 6>NFC and where Dallas falls in that rankle when we

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 6>come back, Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 9>Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:42.560

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.320

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.079
<v Speaker 10>good news is Todd has AT and T five G.

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.880

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.320

<v Speaker 3>All right.

<v Speaker 2>Here's what I want to do. I want to go through.

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 6>We did this last week, and I think I'm gonna

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 6>make this a weekly thing because this NFC is really

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 6>interesting to me. But I want you guys to take

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 6>the top seven teams right now and put them that's up.

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 7>I'll started doing my full dive into who are they playing?

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 7>But honestly, you've give him.

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:52.920

<v Speaker 3>Right, here we go.

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.240
<v Speaker 6>I got the top seven teams. I want you to

0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.479
<v Speaker 6>put him in wader. We got Philadelphia, Detroit, San Francisco,

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 6>New Orleans, Seattle, Dallas, and Minnesota. Put them in order,

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 6>top to bottom.

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Top seven?

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Did you did? I do? I have one too many?

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Did you put New Orleans in there? Yeah? Okay, I'm sorry.

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're leading their division.

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Selective listening right now as we speak.

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 8>Philadelphia, San Francisco, Detroit, Dallas, Seattle, Minnesota, New Orleans.

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Wait, that was your order, That was my order. I'm sorry,

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I say it again. You need it fast. You already

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 2>had this written now, you had yell doing this on

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 2>the show later.

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no way.

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 8>I just took advantage of when everybody was talking to

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:37.359
<v Speaker 8>look at these teams. Uh, Philadelphia, Yeah, San Francisco got it, Detroit, Dallas, Seattle,

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 8>Minnesota on a heater right now?

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 3>And New Orleans.

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 4>The interesting thing interesting?

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I like that.

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 6>The interesting thing to stand out there is Detroit third.

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 6>That was interesting. Yeah, and then also, uh, you got

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 6>New Orleans behind Minnesota?

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 2>No, did you get I have Minnesota.

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 3>I have Minnesota ahead of New Orleans.

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 6>Right, that's also kind of interesting because Minnesota doesn't have

0:16:58.680 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 6>their quarterback, but they got Josh Job.

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Now they're playing the Cowboy.

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 3>They're playing great right now.

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 8>I mean, but if you're talking, if you're talking about yeah,

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 8>you'll probably see them.

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 3>In the playoffs.

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Ye right, No, that dude, man, I don't know. I

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 2>don't even know what to think of.

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 8>But they're they're playing, they're playing really well. I mean,

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.360
<v Speaker 8>if you look at what they're doing defensively, they're finding ways.

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 8>They're playing without their their leading wide receiver too in

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 8>that game of these games, so it's crazy they figured

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:22.960
<v Speaker 8>some things out up there.

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>And traded their guard.

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 8>Like I mean, it's it's like they went from being

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 8>like give up mode to like, well, maybe we can

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.399
<v Speaker 8>find a way to win the NFC North. Yeah, you know,

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 8>but I think I think Detroit is really I don't

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 8>think Detroit gets nearly enough credit for me. I I

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.560
<v Speaker 8>kind of feel like that people always talk about Philadelphia

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 8>and San Francisco Detroit is a team that you don't

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 8>I don't think you want to play and you're going

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 8>to catch them at the very end, and you know

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.119
<v Speaker 8>they might be playing for positioning and seeding and all

0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 8>that whould be a difficult game to begin with. But

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:58.119
<v Speaker 8>that is a physical, mean, nasty team and they got

0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 8>a quarterback that doesn't turn the all over. You know

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 8>they got they got run by the Ravens. I think

0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.640
<v Speaker 8>the Ravens might be the best team in the NFL.

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.320
<v Speaker 8>I mean the way that they pay are against NFC teams. Yeah,

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:13.200
<v Speaker 8>they blasted Seattle, they blasted Detroit. You know that division

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 8>they play in too. Cincinnati is getting better. So yeah,

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 8>that doesn't talk about what we're dealing with right now.

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:22.920
<v Speaker 8>But that that that AFC North is uh has got

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 8>some got some.

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Teeth to it.

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 11>Ye.

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna go because just like last week, I had

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 4>the struggle of Seattle versus is Detroit, and I'm just

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.360
<v Speaker 4>gonna use the Baltimore game as a wash from both

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.280
<v Speaker 4>of those teams. Lions got walked by the Baltimore Ravens

0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 4>and the Seattle Seahawks got walked by the Baltimore Ravens.

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.840
<v Speaker 4>So that keeps me at Seattle ahead of Lions. So

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:51.439
<v Speaker 4>let's go this way. Let's go Philadelphia. I want to

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 4>say it, so I'm going to say it. Philadelphia, Seattle, Dallas, Detroit,

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.399
<v Speaker 4>San Francisco, and.

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.639
<v Speaker 3>San Francisco ran you you.

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.639
<v Speaker 4>Did, yeah, but they're also completely faced down in the

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 4>mud right now that they need to write their ship.

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 3>You can get all those guys back, and it's gonna be.

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 4>Right back to where until it happens, it hasn't happened.

0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:21.439
<v Speaker 4>He threw me off. So I got Philadelphia. Who is

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:27.360
<v Speaker 4>the Philadelphia, Seattle, Dallas, Detroit. I'm sorry, see y'all throw

0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 4>me off? God, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, Dallas, Okay.

0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that makes more sense. Okay, San Francisco third, Okay,

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I got.

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 4>I got Dallas, then Detroit, then Detroit, then Minnesota, then

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:44.880
<v Speaker 4>New Orleans. All right, let's do it that way.

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:46.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, that makes sense.

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:47.160
<v Speaker 4>Throwing me off?

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.400
<v Speaker 6>You really threw me put in San Francis. I got

0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.120
<v Speaker 6>a fifth. I was like, wow, that was.

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:52.359
<v Speaker 4>I think that was one of those things where your

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:54.719
<v Speaker 4>brain is saying something, but your your processing so your

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 4>mouth said something else. Why y'all pause?

0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, that's that just threw me and Brian off

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 2>a second, like.

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.359
<v Speaker 4>Because Brian had the selective listening and then I had

0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 4>the brain forart.

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.680
<v Speaker 8>Okay, cool, all right, I'll tell you what. I'll say

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 8>this about San Francisco. They're gonna get those guys back. Yeah,

0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 8>it's gonna be No, we'll see if the quarterback could play.

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 8>That's that's where this single come down to.

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 2>We are putting to them.

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 6>Now it's starting to get some doubt in his mind

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.160
<v Speaker 6>because he hadn't had any reality exactly where you start

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:23.359
<v Speaker 6>to make a quarterback question his own abilities.

0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 2>And now we'll see how that how he was?

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 4>You were we the ones having the conversation walking up

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 4>to the press box, just off the conversation about Seattle

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.959
<v Speaker 4>versus San Francisco, and I was saying, I felt like

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.040
<v Speaker 4>if San Francisco had to go to Seattle in the

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 4>playoffs to win that game, I don't think they win

0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 4>that game.

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 6>No, we did not have that conversation, and I would

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 6>vehemently disagree with you. Okay, I think San Francisco runs

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.440
<v Speaker 6>that division. I honestly believe San Francisco.

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.960
<v Speaker 4>I think they they run it until further notice. But

0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:53.560
<v Speaker 4>I think that Seattle was ready to change that. It

0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 4>feels like Seattle is ready to change that.

0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 6>I still, for some reason, I still think of Seattle

0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 6>as a good team that's not quite there to be

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:03.919
<v Speaker 6>one of the best in division.

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 4>Which is why I would say this is what the

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.879
<v Speaker 4>key is at home in the playoffs. If they have

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 4>to go to San Francisco, Seattle loses that game. But

0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 4>if you factor in the twelfth man in that environment

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 4>and the Seattle Seahawks, I think that's a game that

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 4>the forty nine is lose. I I would love to

0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:19.639
<v Speaker 4>see it.

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, honestly, the first round of the playoffs,

0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:26.120
<v Speaker 6>I fully expect San Francis is gonna win that division.

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 6>So it's gonna be Dallas and Seattle kind of there

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 6>and four, five and six slots.

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:31.879
<v Speaker 2>I think that's my opinion.

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I do believe that because I think San Francisco

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 6>is gonna get their guys back, and when they get

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 6>their guys back, they're going to get on that roll again.

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.680
<v Speaker 6>And by the way, just look at what San Francisco does.

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 6>They do this every year. There's a moment in this

0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 6>season where everybody's like, oh man, san Francisco's got problems.

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.400
<v Speaker 6>Then and usually it's because of injury, and sure enough

0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.280
<v Speaker 6>they get it back on the right track. And when

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 6>they get it going, then it's kind of like, oh yeah,

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 6>we all should have known.

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 4>This is still getting it in my gud and much

0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:58.919
<v Speaker 4>like the love I have for the Lions are doing it.

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm right there with Brian. This one with the Lions.

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 4>Something in my good just makes me feel like Seattle's

0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:07.439
<v Speaker 4>got something for whoever if someone has to go to

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:08.880
<v Speaker 4>Seattle for a playoff game.

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not there yet on them, not there yet

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 2>on them?

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:12.680
<v Speaker 4>All right, ab what you got?

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 7>No? No, I did, I did, I did, have plenty

0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 7>of time, and I just keep going. I'm just I'll

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:29.040
<v Speaker 7>be honest. I'm unprofessional sometimes because it's hard to it's

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:31.679
<v Speaker 7>hard to take sometimes.

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:35.479
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, like right now, because I wanted to make

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 3>sure I heard your ya.

0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 7>Because it's hard, I wouldn't say unprofessional. Let me say unbiased.

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.480
<v Speaker 7>Opinion is actually the right word. I'm very professional. So

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:50.199
<v Speaker 7>I take that back, it's unbiased. But my thing is

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 7>I'm having So I put Vikings first, Eagles second.

0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Wait, huh what yeah, Vikings at the top team in

0:22:59.200 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 2>the NFC.

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 7>I put them ahead. Yeah, Okay, your opinion, unbiased opinion

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 7>would be Eagles first, bias, just first. And they're still

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 7>I still they're a great team. Okay, we've seen it,

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 7>but every game lately has been so close that I

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.520
<v Speaker 7>just feel like at some point somebody else is going

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 7>to figure it out and beat them and get them.

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 7>So it's that's what.

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:33.400
<v Speaker 3>It's Buffalo or Kansas City.

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:35.880
<v Speaker 6>But you know that's that's actually an interesting that's an

0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 6>interesting thought because I've I've seen people talking about this

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 6>in circles on social media, and to me, I actually

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 6>look at that as a positive for Philadelphia because I'm like, if.

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.160
<v Speaker 2>You tell me you've gone eight and one and you.

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.720
<v Speaker 6>Still haven't played your best football, that says to me

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 6>that you have a team that number one never gets rattled.

0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:57.680
<v Speaker 6>You know how to figure it out in bad situations,

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 6>even when you're not playing your best football. You figure

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.160
<v Speaker 6>out how can we still get the win. It probably

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:04.399
<v Speaker 6>means you know how to win in a lot of

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 6>different ways because you've been presented with different situations where

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 6>some week it has to be your offense has to

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 6>take the lead, some weeks, your defense has to take

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:13.640
<v Speaker 6>the lead, some weeks, your special teams that whatever it is.

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 6>They're figuring out how to win even in situations where

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 6>they probably shouldn't win the game. And that's where I like,

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:21.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm looking at that and I'm like, that scares me

0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:24.840
<v Speaker 6>more about Philadelphia than if they were just running through teams.

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:29.400
<v Speaker 7>And it's fair high. It's that whole glass glass half full,

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 7>half empty, depending on their perspective. I'm choosing the other

0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:38.640
<v Speaker 7>one half empty type of mentality. Were you gonna say something,

0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 7>let's just.

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:41.639
<v Speaker 8>Ask you something real quick though, Guys about that. Okay,

0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:44.240
<v Speaker 8>Philadelphia has the ability, like when they're not playing great

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:46.760
<v Speaker 8>to put games away. Is that opposite of what the

0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:47.400
<v Speaker 8>Cowboys are?

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:54.080
<v Speaker 6>Well, there's only really been there's only really been that year.

0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:56.879
<v Speaker 8>Does that Does that make you nervous that your team

0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 8>doesn't have that ability right now?

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's the thing.

0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:03.480
<v Speaker 6>You've had really two games where you've been challenged through

0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 6>the end of the game. One of them you won,

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 6>one of them you lost, right. All the other games

0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 6>either you killed the other team or they killed you, right,

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:12.639
<v Speaker 6>So it's like, do you have you really seen that?

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:15.360
<v Speaker 6>Do the Cowboys have the ability to finish a game

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 6>when they're right there?

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 8>I think Philadelphia's plan was to make Dallas keep playing.

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 8>You know what I'm saying, that they'll make a mistake

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:26.639
<v Speaker 8>that you know, Philadelphia down the stretch was nails where

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 8>Dallas fell apart.

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, it almost worked against them because they were nails

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 4>until they fell apart, which is what extended the potential

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:37.440
<v Speaker 4>game when driving the first Yeah, the both teams fell apart.

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 8>But Philadelphia's falling apart like three times this season and

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:42.480
<v Speaker 8>they won all the games.

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Right, That's what I'm saying. When you fall apart, you're

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 3>not going to win.

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:49.920
<v Speaker 8>Arizona fell apart in that game, really though, right, Yeah,

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:51.399
<v Speaker 8>I mean really never had a chance.

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:53.480
<v Speaker 4>Right, So in the games that you had a chance

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:55.920
<v Speaker 4>going down to the wire.

0:25:55.320 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 6>Only won one, lost one, right, I mean, I don't

0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:01.440
<v Speaker 6>get again, I don't think any of the games.

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:04.639
<v Speaker 3>Trust you trust this team down the stretch. You really

0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:07.880
<v Speaker 3>to finish a game to go get a win.

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:10.240
<v Speaker 4>I trust the defense to do so. If it's if

0:26:10.240 --> 0:26:11.879
<v Speaker 4>it comes down to it and the defense is on

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:13.399
<v Speaker 4>the field, yes, I trust that they can get that.

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 4>With the offense.

0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:16.719
<v Speaker 3>You don't try, okay, but you don't trust the offense.

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 4>The offense still has to show it because the defense

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:20.439
<v Speaker 4>and that one in one record. The defense is who

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 4>closed it out. That's who I have the trust in.

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 4>The offense didn't close it out. The offense made a

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:26.640
<v Speaker 4>mistake false start allowing the sack. So right now, until

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:29.159
<v Speaker 4>the offense shows it, no, I don't in the offense

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:30.919
<v Speaker 4>and the defense, yes, I do. So it just depends

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 4>on who's on the field right now. I don't.

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 8>It bothers me that they didn't finish that game. I mean,

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:39.360
<v Speaker 8>it completely bothers me. And and I don't know if

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 8>that's man. Maybe it's something we've seen. They get down

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 8>in the red zone, they get down tight red zone.

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:46.040
<v Speaker 8>They've had problems all year. You know, are they going

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 8>to fix those problems keep cost them games?

0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:52.600
<v Speaker 7>And Dyke played a really good game. And but it's

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 7>one of those things that you tend to always criticize,

0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:57.959
<v Speaker 7>you know, you put it all on the quarterback. So

0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:00.720
<v Speaker 7>and we started I mentioned it you. I'm like, okay,

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:02.880
<v Speaker 7>this is a time where Dak needs to show up.

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 7>And then let me in my head and this is

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:10.159
<v Speaker 7>not a fair comparison, but I'm like, man, imagine you

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 7>having Rogers and he's in that situation right now. You

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 7>just take the automatic like you just automatically assume you're

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 7>gonna walk out of that game with a win. We

0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:21.960
<v Speaker 7>have plenty of time to get in there. And what's crazy,

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.640
<v Speaker 7>I thought the Cowboys will only have the last chance

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:28.159
<v Speaker 7>to do it, and then they came back again for

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 7>a second chance to actually get into the end zone

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 7>and it still didn't happen.

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 4>So I did to start. But you know why though,

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:35.400
<v Speaker 4>and this goes right back to my point, the way

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 4>the defense clamped down in the fourth quarter and forced

0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:41.359
<v Speaker 4>more than one punt from the Eagles offense. So if again,

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 4>if it came down to it where it was Jalen

0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 4>Hurts and the Eagles offense trying to mount a game

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 4>winning drive against the Cowboys defense in Philadelphia at one hundred,

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:54.400
<v Speaker 4>have confidence, but flip it and it's like, Okay, well,

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:56.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's an offense that had struggles for the

0:27:56.800 --> 0:27:59.040
<v Speaker 4>first part of the season and now it's an offense

0:27:59.040 --> 0:28:01.840
<v Speaker 4>that had some offensive issues. So no, until they show

0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:03.720
<v Speaker 4>me that they can close out the game, I can't

0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:05.720
<v Speaker 4>rightfully say I believe they can close out the game.

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.399
<v Speaker 4>But the defense has shown it. So that's for me

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:09.640
<v Speaker 4>where I'm hanging my head.

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 6>I still go back to like Ambry, I think you

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.200
<v Speaker 6>hit the nail on head. For me, there are certain

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 6>teams that when you're playing them, you're actually thinking, if

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:21.439
<v Speaker 6>your team gets a score and it's at the end

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 6>of the game, you're like, how much time's left? Like

0:28:23.680 --> 0:28:26.919
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to give that offense time to go

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:28.320
<v Speaker 6>down to score, because I know they will go down

0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:30.359
<v Speaker 6>to score. Like if you're playing the Chiefs and you

0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:33.119
<v Speaker 6>give them a minute and they only need a touchdown

0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:34.439
<v Speaker 6>to win, or they need a field goal to win,

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 6>You're like, man, we left too much time on the

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 6>clockt right, But that's what I'm saying, Like, there are

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:41.120
<v Speaker 6>certain teams that are like that, and I don't want

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 6>to confuse it, Like that's never been the conversation that

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.480
<v Speaker 6>we've had, Dak, Like that's the difference between a really

0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 6>good quarterback and the greats in the game right now,

0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 6>right there are only a few of those that you

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:53.920
<v Speaker 6>feel like, if they get the ball, it's happening, there's

0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 6>no question about it. But you and I, as we

0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 6>were sitting there watching the end of that game, we

0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.880
<v Speaker 6>were both saying, is this Dak's moment to kind of

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 6>ascend to that and start showing us that and we

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 6>we that wasn't the outcome. In quite frankly, as is

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:08.040
<v Speaker 6>the case a lot of time, I don't think it

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:08.880
<v Speaker 6>was necessarily his fault.

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:10.320
<v Speaker 4>I think it could be.

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 6>I think once again, and that's why I say offenses,

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 6>because it's not just the quarterback.

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 2>In this instance.

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:18.719
<v Speaker 6>It goes back to like, this was not just about

0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 6>Dak not making the plays. It was about your offensive

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 6>line failing you in a moment when you needed them

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.080
<v Speaker 6>to be able to give him time twice to make

0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 6>the plays that he needed to make in order for

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 6>you to win.

0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 2>That was a problem.

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 7>We go back to several a couple of years ago,

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 7>and you would go into games where the offense would

0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:40.880
<v Speaker 7>have a very slow start, Dak having slow starts, and

0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:43.960
<v Speaker 7>then in the second half of games he would come back.

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:47.000
<v Speaker 7>The offense would come back, get their act together and

0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 7>start scoring points. But it was always a little too late,

0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 7>like they would get up there, start scoring scoring, scoring,

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:57.440
<v Speaker 7>Oh well, damn, we ran out of time. They didn't

0:29:57.440 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 7>make it. They should have won that game, And I'm

0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 7>that's where that's that's what I'm tired of. They should

0:30:04.240 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 7>have They should have over here walking I'm not gonna

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 7>name names, but walking around. People that come up to me,

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 7>we should or want on stop. I don't want to

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:16.440
<v Speaker 7>hear it. I'm pissed off right now. I don't want

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 7>to hear anymore. I'm tired of it. But anyways, I

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:25.680
<v Speaker 7>had the Vikings versus Eagles, forty nine Ers, Seattle, New Orleans, Detroit, Dallas.

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 7>I don't know where I want to put Dallas because

0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 7>once again my bias opinion. Right now, I'm mad at them.

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 7>I'm up said, I'm hurt. I don't know what to

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:36.840
<v Speaker 7>think of them. I don't I don't know where to

0:30:36.880 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 7>place them because last week I spent all week truly

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:44.239
<v Speaker 7>believing that they were gonna win against the Eagles, and

0:30:44.280 --> 0:30:46.760
<v Speaker 7>I set up with my chest all over the place.

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 7>I was talking around all like other people that did

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 7>not say Cowboys with their chest.

0:30:54.160 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't.

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:56.480
<v Speaker 6>I was not confident about that game, and I said

0:30:56.720 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 6>made no Honestly, I said before before we went into

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:02.680
<v Speaker 6>the game, I said, they got to show me after

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 6>what happened in San Francisco, they got to show me.

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:06.360
<v Speaker 2>And they still haven't shown me.

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:08.440
<v Speaker 6>And by the way, if I'm doing any rankings for

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 6>the NFC, the Cowboys cannot come in right now, before

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:15.640
<v Speaker 6>Philadelphia and San Francisco, because what I've seen in the

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 6>games is they have not been able to beat those teams.

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 6>And I'll say this, Dallas is a really good team,

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 6>and I think up against any team in the NFC,

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 6>Dallas will win the game.

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Any team in NFC other than.

0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.400
<v Speaker 6>Those two teams right now, they got to show me

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:32.120
<v Speaker 6>because that's just not been what they've put.

0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:33.160
<v Speaker 4>On on the field yet.

0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:35.920
<v Speaker 8>And you're gonna get to see Detroit, and you're going

0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:37.960
<v Speaker 8>to get to see in Seattle, yep, yeah, yeah, And

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 8>then you get a couple of shots some AFC teams

0:31:39.960 --> 0:31:43.120
<v Speaker 8>that are right in that same boat of good teams,

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 8>and we will find out a lot about this team.

0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:46.560
<v Speaker 6>But right now, I think those are the two teams

0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 6>I look at, and really there's probably only four or

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:50.840
<v Speaker 6>five in the NFL that I think I would put

0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 6>above the Cowboys right now. But that's also the problem.

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:55.520
<v Speaker 6>They're right up there with those teams. They have not

0:31:55.520 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 6>shown they can beat those teams yet. Like that's the

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 6>Kansas City's, the Baltimore's, the the Eagles, the forty nine ers,

0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:05.800
<v Speaker 6>Like they haven't showed they can beat those teams yet.

0:32:05.800 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 6>That's what I got to see in order to feel

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:08.800
<v Speaker 6>confident that they can make a deep running.

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 4>The thing it's fun though, is that the from three

0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:15.600
<v Speaker 4>to i'd say five, those three to five slots margin

0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:17.640
<v Speaker 4>of aeras so slit. It is.

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 3>The margin of ara of Cowboys offense is very slip.

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:22.240
<v Speaker 4>So, I mean, you got to get any your rankings,

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:24.760
<v Speaker 4>and when you're listening to this, if you're ranking one

0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:28.800
<v Speaker 4>through seven, once you get three to five, whatever you're organization,

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:31.080
<v Speaker 4>however you organize it, it's probably gonna make sense. You

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:33.480
<v Speaker 4>could probably justify it, make it makes sense. Yeah, all right,

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 4>here we're gonna do. We're gonna take our final break.

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 4>When to come back.

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:37.480
<v Speaker 6>We got some big picture questions for you guys. These

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 6>may take a lot more time than we have. We'll

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 6>maybe float some of those into some future shows. This week,

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 6>we're right back Dallas, Cowboys dot Com Radio.

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:48.280

<v Speaker 2>All Right, here we go.

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 6>Here's some big, quick, big picture questions I want you

0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 6>guys to answer. Let's start with this one. Whose play

0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 6>is more concerning, Terrence Steele or Michael Gallup.

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:35.480
<v Speaker 4>M I'd say Michael Gallup. Reason I say Michael Gallup

0:35:35.560 --> 0:35:37.560
<v Speaker 4>is for the hearkening back to what we were talking

0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 4>about yesterday, Terrence Steele, when you were having the offensive

0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:44.040
<v Speaker 4>line injuries and those issues across that old line, it

0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:46.680
<v Speaker 4>was Terrence Steele who was the bright spot over the

0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:48.719
<v Speaker 4>majority of the first part of the season going into

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:50.880
<v Speaker 4>the by That gives me a lot of confidence. That

0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:53.760
<v Speaker 4>combined with his play from last year before he suffers

0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:57.239
<v Speaker 4>the twin acl Yeah, he as of late, he's had

0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.440
<v Speaker 4>two bad days at the offices. Last Sunday was the

0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 4>worst at the office, But for the most part, I

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 4>think he's showing that he can get it together and

0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:07.319
<v Speaker 4>keep it together. Michael Gallup, on the other hand, while

0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:10.319
<v Speaker 4>physically he's back to where he needs to get. The

0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:13.800
<v Speaker 4>mental side of it is still not consistent enough. For

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:17.239
<v Speaker 4>Michael Gallup. He had a couple of good games Arizona,

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 4>New England, the game's prior struggled the games after he struggled.

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:24.560
<v Speaker 4>He had a drop the key drop early against the Eagles,

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:26.719
<v Speaker 4>but then he bounced back. Kudos to him for doing so.

0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 4>But when you combine that the up and downs of

0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:34.239
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty three with the struggles to find his way

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:37.000
<v Speaker 4>in twenty twenty two, there's not a lot of recent

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:44.560
<v Speaker 4>see positives for Michael Gallup. Talent still there. Absolutely, skill set, physicality, physically,

0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:47.160
<v Speaker 4>he's imposing, all of that's still there. But I think

0:36:47.239 --> 0:36:49.759
<v Speaker 4>for him it's mentally more than anything else. And that's

0:36:49.800 --> 0:36:52.399
<v Speaker 4>what's concerning. For Terrence Steel. I think he bounces back,

0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:53.680
<v Speaker 4>maybe as early as this week.

0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:59.160
<v Speaker 8>Kind of feel like it's it is Gallup. But the

0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:03.759
<v Speaker 8>thing we've learned about Gallop, it's two good games for

0:37:04.160 --> 0:37:08.960
<v Speaker 8>poor games, and that's been his history and so maybe

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:11.680
<v Speaker 8>that's what he is. You know, we felt like that

0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:15.160
<v Speaker 8>maybe he could take that next jump. We talked about injury,

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 8>him coming back, the off the field stuff he deals with.

0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:20.839
<v Speaker 8>You know, being in the right place, right mind, all

0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:24.680
<v Speaker 8>that works extremely hard. But he is who he is,

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 8>and that's you know, like I say, you're gonna have

0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:32.040
<v Speaker 8>flashing flashes of brilliance those catches he makes that are

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:34.839
<v Speaker 8>contorted along the sidelines. I don't know how he got

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:37.239
<v Speaker 8>his feet down, but he just did. And then you're

0:37:37.280 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 8>going to have the play where they you know, have

0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:43.320
<v Speaker 8>the unfortunate drop. But that's the inconsistency of his game.

0:37:43.880 --> 0:37:48.880
<v Speaker 8>Maybe somebody else he gets more consistent, but for this team.

0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:49.480
<v Speaker 3>He hasn't been.

0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:55.520
<v Speaker 8>What's surprising to me about Steel is what he's dealing with,

0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 8>you know, coming back from the injury, and he's going to.

0:37:59.480 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Work extremely hard. He's going to be prepared.

0:38:02.160 --> 0:38:04.960
<v Speaker 8>His run blocking hasn't been as good as it normally is.

0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:09.200
<v Speaker 8>I understand the pass blocking struggles that he has because

0:38:09.200 --> 0:38:11.600
<v Speaker 8>that's part of his game, that really, really is part

0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:13.920
<v Speaker 8>of his game, and he does a great job of

0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 8>masking it at times. But you know, when it when

0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:19.880
<v Speaker 8>it rains, it pours on him too. But he's not

0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:23.160
<v Speaker 8>been as consistent as a run blocker, and that to

0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:25.759
<v Speaker 8>me is the most surprising thing about his game. It's

0:38:25.800 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 8>not what happens to him as a pass blocker, it's

0:38:28.200 --> 0:38:30.399
<v Speaker 8>what happens to him as a run blocker, and it's

0:38:30.480 --> 0:38:34.240
<v Speaker 8>but it's gallop. But both of them have had their issues,

0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:34.880
<v Speaker 8>as we all know.

0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:42.239
<v Speaker 7>I would definitely go with tern Steel because that's the

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:46.160
<v Speaker 7>but I have trust that he can get it together

0:38:46.200 --> 0:38:49.439
<v Speaker 7>because it hasn't been a consistent like what we saw

0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:53.520
<v Speaker 7>against the Eagles, hasn't been the storyline for his season

0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 7>coming after that injury, So I don't think it's something

0:38:57.000 --> 0:39:01.200
<v Speaker 7>that we're going to be consistently talking about week after

0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:04.400
<v Speaker 7>week as the main issue of the old line in general.

0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:08.000
<v Speaker 7>I think he'll get better and it was just a one.

0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:11.719
<v Speaker 7>You had have one bad day that went really bad

0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:14.400
<v Speaker 7>for you, and it happens. It has happened to a

0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:18.319
<v Speaker 7>lot of other people. But I would say the old

0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:21.480
<v Speaker 7>line in general, more so than just Staring Steel, just

0:39:21.719 --> 0:39:24.840
<v Speaker 7>finding some type of consistency for the old line. We

0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:29.560
<v Speaker 7>haven't seen an established running game yet that has not

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:34.279
<v Speaker 7>happened all year, and I think it steams from or

0:39:34.320 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 7>stamps from the old line and what they're doing and

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:40.040
<v Speaker 7>not doing for Tony Poller and the rest of the backs.

0:39:40.080 --> 0:39:42.880
<v Speaker 7>So I think that's that would be the main concern

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:47.640
<v Speaker 7>Michael Gallup again. I don't know if I'm ready to

0:39:47.800 --> 0:39:51.160
<v Speaker 7>give up on him as far as I given him chances.

0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 7>But it's one of those things again my feelings, I'm like,

0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:58.640
<v Speaker 7>I'm mad at you. Go sit down for a little bit.

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:02.520
<v Speaker 7>He'll take a break. Go we go to the Yeah, yeah,

0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 7>go for it, just for a little bit, Just for

0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:06.920
<v Speaker 7>a little bit. I still love you, you know, I

0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:08.960
<v Speaker 7>still love you. I'll give you a hug afterwards, but

0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:12.359
<v Speaker 7>take a moment to reflect and we'll we'll come back

0:40:12.400 --> 0:40:15.359
<v Speaker 7>to you. Uh. And because some of the things we've

0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:20.120
<v Speaker 7>seen from Tober, he's had those moments, you know. But

0:40:21.560 --> 0:40:24.040
<v Speaker 7>it's it's one of those when it's not working. I'm

0:40:24.400 --> 0:40:28.000
<v Speaker 7>a big disbeliever or I don't know the right word

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 7>of forcing things. I don't think I don't think it

0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:36.440
<v Speaker 7>makes it work, but you just keep trying to force

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:38.960
<v Speaker 7>it on people and stuff. He just he's not catching

0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:42.560
<v Speaker 7>a break right now. And maybe you give him, you

0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 7>force him to have a break for a little bit

0:40:44.960 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 7>and then bring him back up. But I would definitely

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:49.279
<v Speaker 7>go with steal right now, just for the moment.

0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:53.960
<v Speaker 8>This team needs to focus on on on Lamb ferguson

0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:56.719
<v Speaker 8>it Cooks. That needs to be their offense right now. Yep,

0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:59.440
<v Speaker 8>they're not going to be able to run the balls.

0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they they don't. It's going to be hard.

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:05.440
<v Speaker 8>This team is now you now have it's not a

0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:06.920
<v Speaker 8>small sample size anymore.

0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:08.080
<v Speaker 3>We're halfway through.

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:12.160
<v Speaker 8>They've got to ride Dak and they've got to ride Lamb,

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.960
<v Speaker 8>and they've got to ride Ferguson and the Cooks has

0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:17.480
<v Speaker 8>got to find a way when he gets opportunities to

0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:18.200
<v Speaker 8>make plays.

0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:19.840
<v Speaker 3>That's where they need to go.

0:41:19.880 --> 0:41:22.560
<v Speaker 8>Because the other ones, if they get the other ones

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:25.440
<v Speaker 8>to kind of step up, great, But the ones they

0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:27.560
<v Speaker 8>need to focus on are the ones that I mentioned.

0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:30.080
<v Speaker 6>So going on that, what do you guys think is

0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:33.840
<v Speaker 6>the biggest reason that Brandon Cooks hasn't been more involved

0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:35.600
<v Speaker 6>in the offense. Do you put it more on him

0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:37.840
<v Speaker 6>and his abilities of getting open? Do you put it

0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:40.120
<v Speaker 6>more on the offensive line not getting time or the

0:41:40.520 --> 0:41:43.200
<v Speaker 6>play calling not getting him Downfiel getting him into situations

0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:43.839
<v Speaker 6>where he's open.

0:41:44.040 --> 0:41:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Where do you place most of them?

0:41:45.360 --> 0:41:48.879
<v Speaker 8>They scheme stuff for him and then you know they're

0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:50.880
<v Speaker 8>going to run a play where he's it's going to

0:41:50.960 --> 0:41:53.040
<v Speaker 8>take some time for him to get from the right

0:41:53.080 --> 0:41:55.160
<v Speaker 8>side of the formation to the left side of the formation.

0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:57.560
<v Speaker 8>They're running place to try and get him open. They

0:41:57.640 --> 0:41:59.120
<v Speaker 8>ran a pick for him the other day on the

0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:00.560
<v Speaker 8>goal line to try and get him open.

0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh. They're doing things to try and get him open. Uh.

0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:06.960
<v Speaker 3>But then if you have a blitzing.

0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:11.320
<v Speaker 8>Linebacker, Uh, Tyler Biattish unable to handle Jalalen Carter.

0:42:11.280 --> 0:42:14.520
<v Speaker 3>And you know, now Dak can't go that way. Uh.

0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:17.239
<v Speaker 3>It's really or he or all of.

0:42:17.239 --> 0:42:19.920
<v Speaker 8>A sudden, they motioned Tony Pollard out in the flat,

0:42:20.239 --> 0:42:22.839
<v Speaker 8>and now he's trying to find space on a scrambled drill.

0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:23.640
<v Speaker 3>But what does he do.

0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:26.719
<v Speaker 8>He runs into Cook who's trying to find space too,

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:29.640
<v Speaker 8>and both of them get eliminated from the play. I

0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:31.759
<v Speaker 8>think the coaches are trying to find ways to get

0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:35.600
<v Speaker 8>him the ball. I think there are certain certain situations

0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:39.759
<v Speaker 8>and things that happened during the play that don't get

0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:41.800
<v Speaker 8>him the ball, and they.

0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Not necessarily other people.

0:42:43.920 --> 0:42:44.279
<v Speaker 4>You can't.

0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:46.600
<v Speaker 8>You don't quit on him because he is your best

0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:49.279
<v Speaker 8>route runner in my opinion. He's the one guy that

0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:51.600
<v Speaker 8>can separate. He's the one guy that can get in

0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:53.719
<v Speaker 8>and out of the breaks. He's the one that can

0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:56.200
<v Speaker 8>taken They can make the big catch when you need

0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:59.239
<v Speaker 8>him to, So keep keep trying to get him the ball.

0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:02.360
<v Speaker 8>It'll actually come to him. But they're dealing with a

0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:04.800
<v Speaker 8>lot of he's dealing with a lot of bad luck

0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:06.879
<v Speaker 8>when they're trying to get him the ball.

0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:09.839
<v Speaker 4>Right now, I couldn't have said it better. Not much

0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:12.200
<v Speaker 4>to add to that other than just to double down

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:16.680
<v Speaker 4>on it's it's certainly not his lack of separation ability

0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:19.960
<v Speaker 4>to get open. He's getting open. The rest is everything

0:43:20.000 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 4>that Brian said.

0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:25.239
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you've made it a point of what game

0:43:25.320 --> 0:43:29.400
<v Speaker 7>was that when they kept targeting and speaking of Michael,

0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:32.200
<v Speaker 7>what game was it New England?

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:38.240
<v Speaker 4>Was his last game when they targeted Chargers?

0:43:38.600 --> 0:43:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Was it Charger? Charger?

0:43:42.320 --> 0:43:45.200
<v Speaker 7>So where I was trying to go with that is you've,

0:43:45.640 --> 0:43:48.319
<v Speaker 7>as a play caller, you kind of made it a

0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 7>point to target him and try to get the ball

0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:56.960
<v Speaker 7>to him. And the reason, the only thing that makes

0:43:57.000 --> 0:43:58.520
<v Speaker 7>sense to me as to why they kept going to

0:43:58.600 --> 0:44:01.560
<v Speaker 7>him was because they had some sort of plan that

0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:03.920
<v Speaker 7>they were trying to make it happen that day. So

0:44:04.000 --> 0:44:06.240
<v Speaker 7>my thing is like, if they did that with him,

0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:09.440
<v Speaker 7>how come you can't do that with the guy like

0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:12.600
<v Speaker 7>Cooks and the whole time in wise and all. That

0:44:12.920 --> 0:44:17.000
<v Speaker 7>makes some sense, But then why is that an option, like,

0:44:17.239 --> 0:44:18.880
<v Speaker 7>if it's not going to give you enough time to

0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:21.160
<v Speaker 7>like go throw it at him, why is that even

0:44:21.200 --> 0:44:22.239
<v Speaker 7>an option to begin with?

0:44:22.960 --> 0:44:25.560
<v Speaker 8>You know what, I think that to me, I don't

0:44:25.560 --> 0:44:29.439
<v Speaker 8>force it. I let it happen because my number two,

0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:31.480
<v Speaker 8>my number one and number two options are good enough

0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:34.080
<v Speaker 8>to win games. Throwing the lamb and throwing to Ferguson

0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:35.400
<v Speaker 8>is good enough for me to win games.

0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:37.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, if Cooks.

0:44:37.040 --> 0:44:40.960
<v Speaker 8>Gets four targets, three receptions and it's fifty eight yards

0:44:40.960 --> 0:44:42.160
<v Speaker 8>and three first.

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Downs on the catches, I'm fine with that.

0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:46.560
<v Speaker 2>But CD got off, Yeah City, But City.

0:44:46.360 --> 0:44:49.240
<v Speaker 8>Had CD had twelve catches for one hundred and forty

0:44:49.280 --> 0:44:52.960
<v Speaker 8>three yards, and then Ferguson had seven catches for one

0:44:53.040 --> 0:44:53.720
<v Speaker 8>hundred yards.

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:55.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to live with that all day.

0:44:55.600 --> 0:44:57.560
<v Speaker 6>And the other thing to consider on that point, Brian,

0:44:57.640 --> 0:44:59.719
<v Speaker 6>I think is that when you get deeper into the

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:05.759
<v Speaker 6>seas and when you're gonna have that run of Seattle, Yeah, Dolphins, Buffalo,

0:45:05.800 --> 0:45:08.279
<v Speaker 6>you got all these good teams, you're gonna need a

0:45:08.320 --> 0:45:11.480
<v Speaker 6>wrinkle that hasn't necessarily shown up in a big way

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:14.120
<v Speaker 6>to win one of those games, maybe two of those games.

0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:16.440
<v Speaker 6>And if you haven't used Cooks in that way, you

0:45:16.480 --> 0:45:18.799
<v Speaker 6>can create some opportunities where teams come in because of

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:20.640
<v Speaker 6>what their scouting says. You're trying to get the ball

0:45:20.680 --> 0:45:23.160
<v Speaker 6>to CD, you're scheming him open. That could create some

0:45:23.160 --> 0:45:25.919
<v Speaker 6>opportunities for you to scheme open Cooks and go into

0:45:25.920 --> 0:45:27.839
<v Speaker 6>a game saying we're going to scheme him open because

0:45:27.840 --> 0:45:29.000
<v Speaker 6>they're not really looking for that.

0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:30.200
<v Speaker 2>We haven't shown that as much.

0:45:30.280 --> 0:45:32.319
<v Speaker 8>If you ask me for a fourth guy to add

0:45:32.320 --> 0:45:36.200
<v Speaker 8>to my I'm going to mix. I'm throwing Turpin in there.

0:45:36.520 --> 0:45:39.239
<v Speaker 8>Turpin shown to me that he the game is not

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:41.160
<v Speaker 8>too big for him. I always worried about him not

0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:43.680
<v Speaker 8>you know, I didn't like the fact he didn't fair

0:45:43.760 --> 0:45:45.560
<v Speaker 8>catch the ball and he you know, time went off

0:45:45.560 --> 0:45:46.279
<v Speaker 8>the clock at the end.

0:45:46.320 --> 0:45:47.760
<v Speaker 3>I think that was kind of a mental mistake.

0:45:48.200 --> 0:45:52.160
<v Speaker 8>But overall, with his ability to run, run after catch,

0:45:52.640 --> 0:45:54.960
<v Speaker 8>you know, get open, get open, you know, to make

0:45:55.000 --> 0:45:58.560
<v Speaker 8>a secure catch, He's now I'm putting him in there. Okay,

0:45:58.600 --> 0:46:01.520
<v Speaker 8>if if any wonder you others other than the three,

0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:04.560
<v Speaker 8>I need you, but I'm it's gonna be limited, but

0:46:04.600 --> 0:46:06.640
<v Speaker 8>I'm gonna get you when when I do throw you

0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:09.000
<v Speaker 8>the ball, please make a catch for me. You know,

0:46:09.000 --> 0:46:10.560
<v Speaker 8>if I get you two balls and you make two

0:46:10.600 --> 0:46:13.200
<v Speaker 8>catches for two first downs and a and a red

0:46:13.320 --> 0:46:15.920
<v Speaker 8>zone touchdown like like Turpin did.

0:46:16.000 --> 0:46:18.279
<v Speaker 4>And the toughness, my goodness, how tough is that guy?

0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:21.080
<v Speaker 8>I am now pairing down my offense to just make

0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:23.799
<v Speaker 8>sure and and it's gonna help Dak. You know, it's

0:46:23.960 --> 0:46:25.840
<v Speaker 8>there's no more questions about Okay, do we have to

0:46:25.840 --> 0:46:27.759
<v Speaker 8>throw it the goalp No, we don't, because we're gonna

0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:29.640
<v Speaker 8>throw it to Turpin, and we're gonna throw it the lamb,

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:31.719
<v Speaker 8>and we're gonna throw it to Ferguson because I know

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:34.320
<v Speaker 8>those guys are gonna make plays. I don't have time

0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:36.960
<v Speaker 8>to waste it down over here on somebody that might

0:46:36.960 --> 0:46:37.880
<v Speaker 8>not make a play.

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:39.839
<v Speaker 2>Ye, all right, real quick, let's get to lap cooat

0:46:39.840 --> 0:46:40.520
<v Speaker 2>what we got over there?

0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:41.160
<v Speaker 4>Bring me in.

0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Beamer, Yes, science?

0:46:42.480 --> 0:46:45.480
<v Speaker 4>All right? So started and actually finished my deep dive

0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:50.839
<v Speaker 4>into some receiving comparisons around the NFL for the Science Lab.

0:46:50.880 --> 0:46:52.799
<v Speaker 4>This week's edition drops on Thursday. Check that out on

0:46:52.800 --> 0:46:55.359
<v Speaker 4>the dot. Calm, ladies and gentleman. Magic number today is

0:46:55.560 --> 0:46:58.839
<v Speaker 4>forty eight. We're gonna round down to forty eight. I

0:46:58.880 --> 0:47:01.640
<v Speaker 4>wanted to see how Dak Prescott and Ceedee Lamb as

0:47:01.640 --> 0:47:03.680
<v Speaker 4>a tandem measure up against some of the best tandems

0:47:03.719 --> 0:47:05.560
<v Speaker 4>in the league. And obviously I'm talking about you know,

0:47:05.800 --> 0:47:10.880
<v Speaker 4>Pukah and Cooper and Mike, not Michael, but Matthew, Tua, Tyrek,

0:47:11.000 --> 0:47:15.320
<v Speaker 4>things like that. Forty eight is the expected points above average.

0:47:15.360 --> 0:47:18.440
<v Speaker 4>For those that aren't familiar with EPA, that's basically saying,

0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:21.520
<v Speaker 4>prior to a play, this is what the points expected.

0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:23.400
<v Speaker 4>After the play, this is what the new points expected.

0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:26.160
<v Speaker 4>How valuable was that play in that situation? Ceedee Lamb

0:47:26.160 --> 0:47:29.720
<v Speaker 4>and Dak Prescott are ranked number three in the entire

0:47:29.840 --> 0:47:33.640
<v Speaker 4>NFL as a tandeman expected points above average? Who's top two?

0:47:33.840 --> 0:47:36.680
<v Speaker 4>Jalen Hurts and aj Brown number one to in Tirek

0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:38.839
<v Speaker 4>number two. That's some great company to be in. That

0:47:38.960 --> 0:47:41.160
<v Speaker 4>caused me to go a little bit deeper and I

0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:45.000
<v Speaker 4>looked at twelve categories across the league. The Cowboys, as

0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:48.080
<v Speaker 4>far as Dak and Ceedee Lamb lead the league as

0:47:48.080 --> 0:47:51.600
<v Speaker 4>a QB wide receiver tandem in seven of the twelve categories,

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:57.960
<v Speaker 4>stretching from passer rating, completion percentage, success rate, yards per attempt. So,

0:47:58.080 --> 0:48:01.080
<v Speaker 4>if you're wondering if cedd Lamb had ascended as wide

0:48:01.120 --> 0:48:03.920
<v Speaker 4>receiver one, if you're wondering if the chemistry between he

0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:07.720
<v Speaker 4>and Dak Prescott have reached that upper echelon of the NFL,

0:48:07.840 --> 0:48:12.319
<v Speaker 4>the answer definitively is yes, it is, absolutely so keep going,

0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:15.480
<v Speaker 4>Dak Prescott ceedee. Lamb goes to everything Brian and Derek

0:48:15.520 --> 0:48:19.640
<v Speaker 4>and Ambar talking about feed the Lamb, feed the Lamb,

0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:20.959
<v Speaker 4>and feed them good. All right?

0:48:21.320 --> 0:48:22.480
<v Speaker 7>Can I say something quick?

0:48:23.120 --> 0:48:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Just well, what are you gonna say?

0:48:24.520 --> 0:48:27.680
<v Speaker 7>Nice defense? I'm not talking to you. No, I just

0:48:27.680 --> 0:48:30.920
<v Speaker 7>gotta I gotta text with someone that's listening. And apparently,

0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:34.040
<v Speaker 7>in my dumb joke didn't translate into when I said

0:48:34.160 --> 0:48:37.359
<v Speaker 7>Vikings first. There's a reason why I said Vikings first

0:48:37.400 --> 0:48:40.239
<v Speaker 7>ahead of the Eagles. I was just being dumb about it,

0:48:40.440 --> 0:48:43.359
<v Speaker 7>but I don't know if you translated to the I'm

0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:46.040
<v Speaker 7>not that stupid, but I just wanted to clarify because

0:48:46.080 --> 0:48:47.920
<v Speaker 7>apparently some people didn't get my The.

0:48:47.840 --> 0:48:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Longer you do this, the more you don't pay attention

0:48:49.800 --> 0:48:50.760
<v Speaker 3>to right exactly.

0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:53.080
<v Speaker 2>You're like, if you don't get it, you don't get it.

0:48:53.160 --> 0:48:55.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, you know you know right, So if your

0:48:55.200 --> 0:48:57.840
<v Speaker 2>head all right, we appreciate you. Guys.

0:48:57.840 --> 0:48:58.279
<v Speaker 4>We'll be back.

0:48:58.320 --> 0:49:00.000
<v Speaker 3>You got platforms, they don't.

0:49:00.960 --> 0:49:02.879
<v Speaker 6>Good point, all right, we'll be back tomorrow. We're gonna

0:49:02.920 --> 0:49:05.160
<v Speaker 6>jump into the Cowboys versus the.

0:49:05.239 --> 0:49:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Giants, so we're gonna talk about that this week. Right,

0:49:07.200 --> 0:49:09.839
<v Speaker 2>we are all right, let's talk about Cowboys.

0:49:11.320 --> 0:49:13.320
<v Speaker 7>Overlooking.

0:49:13.840 --> 0:49:16.280
<v Speaker 6>We will start with we will start with the Giants

0:49:16.360 --> 0:49:20.560
