Speaker 1: is all in the air, you know that. Oh sorry,

43
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot we were on there. Okay, just

44
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: kind of talking. I figured everybody else might want to

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: join un too, right, that'd be fun. I'm thinking me,

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: you've seen that firston. Oh yeah, let's do it all right,

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk some Cowboys football. Um, let's talk about

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. Cowboys have a unique opportunity at this point,

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: and they're still alive despite everything that's happened this season,

50
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: still alive at seven and six. This week's challenge is

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: to go to Oakland and beat the Oakland Raiders, who

52
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: if you look at any team in the NFL that

53
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: I think parallels the Cowboys, it's the Oakland Raiders. And

54
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm thinking more from a big picture standpoint, last year,

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: how both teams kind of popped onto the scene, had

56
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: great seasons. You had young quarterbacks, You had teams that

57
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: were kind of their defenses were a little bit iffy,

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: but the offenses were just humming last year and then

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: this year. Things go wrong for both teams, I think,

60
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: and they end up kind of in a very similar situation. Oakland, ironically,

61
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: I think it's still in position to possibly win their division.

62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm not positive about that. Theoretically they're not. They're not

63
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: mathematically eliminated from winning their division at this point. And

64
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys obviously in the same kind of situation. Although

65
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: they aren't necessarily in the driver's seat, they still are

66
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: theoretically in contention for a playoff spot. And now they

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: meet up on Sunday Night Football this week. Yeah, be fun. Yeah,

68
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what to say to

69
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: all that. Like, I agree, I guess. I mean, I

70
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: think I think the Raiders are a team that had

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: high expectations, so the serted the Cowboys and you know,

72
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: and this is the nature of the NFL. I mean,

73
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: Dave Dave had the list the other day of like

74
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: sixty three players that are like really really good players

75
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: that are not playing for whatever reasons for their team.

76
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: And now I don't know if the Raiders, all these

77
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: teams across the league, just these two teams, No, I

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: don't think the Raiders actually have Well it's funny that

79
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: you say that they well they well, they might they

80
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: might on Sunday, because it remains to be seen if

81
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: a Marie Cooper is going to play it all for

82
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Goodday night. He's not good

83
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: not this year. Well, he's a good receiver. We we

84
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: spent ten minutes talking about how much Dez dropped off.

85
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: I got some numbers for you right here. Really as

86
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: stands as a stands right now, Mari Cooper has forty

87
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: two catches for four hundred and ninety nine yards five touchdowns.

88
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Which you remember how many games? Um, I mean he's

89
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: been in and out, but we'll find it. Well, yeah,

90
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: pull it up for me. It's he's he's been there

91
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: for most of okay, um average of eleven point nine

92
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: yards per reception, which Das is at eleven point seven.

93
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: Cars missed some time though, two which could affect Car

94
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: Maury Cooper. They both are having bad years, both probably

95
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: as a result of injury. Cooper's got this ankle that

96
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: he can't shake. Car hurt his back earlier in the year.

97
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: Cars having a bad year. He's averaging two hundred twenty

98
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: six yards a game. He's completing sixty three percent of

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: his passes. He's thrown eighteen touchdowns and ten picks. Oh

100
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: he's not. I mean they're not playing well, they're not.

101
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: And is this about the running game? I think honestly,

102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: if you compare it to last year, like what went

103
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: wrong compared to last year? How how well their offense

104
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: will playing? We know this year the Cowboys, it's it's

105
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot about Ezekiel Elliott. What has been their thing

106
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: that's different this year. I think it's their quarterback. That's

107
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tell you. That he's just bad

108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: this year relative to last year. It's one of those things.

109
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: It reminds me a lot of DeMarcus Lawrence, where like

110
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: he got dogged for two years. He didn't play very well,

111
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: he was hurt, he had a back injury, he played

112
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: through it for the good of his team. It's we like,

113
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to say this because Derek car

114
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: is still playing, but like I assume he's not at

115
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. There's no I just refused to believe

116
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: you could play at an MVP level. I mean he

117
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: was in the MVP conversation before he broke his fibula.

118
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: He missed the last two weeks of the season. He

119
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: wasn't there for the playoffs. They were people thought they'd

120
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: go deep into the playoffs where he got hurt. Yeah,

121
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: last year hurt his back. I don't think he's been

122
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the same guy. What point did he hurts back this year?

123
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: This was in October and he missed a few weeks.

124
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: He came back. He's been playing ever since. But again,

125
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean all right, I mean nineteenth in total offense,

126
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: fifteenth in passing offense twenties and to your point, twenty

127
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: six and rushing offense twenty first in scoring offense, they're

128
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: only averaging twenty points per game. He has not been

129
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: lighting the world on fire. And like I said, for

130
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: him to drop from an MVP level, the offensive lines

131
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: all still there. I mean, I mean Donald Penn awesome,

132
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: Melly gave Jackson, who they gave a big contract extension

133
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: too over the summer. Right guard Marshall Newhouse, Like, it's

134
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: the same dudes who were just Mall and people last year.

135
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: And Marshawn Lynch. I don't know that he's the same

136
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: guy he was when he was in Seattle, but he's

137
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: still an effective running back. And so I look at

138
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: it and I'm just like quarterbacks not playing at the

139
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: level that you thought he was when you gave him

140
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: all that money. You talk about that offensive line this year,

141
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: they're twenty six and sacks allowed. They've given up twenty

142
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: one sacks, which can't be good for a quarterback with

143
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: annailing back right and so, and I would suspect, I

144
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: don't know the number, right off hand, I would suspect

145
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: he was not getting hit that often last year. That

146
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: maybe another reason that's contributing to some of the difficulties

147
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: at their experiencing. And as we are, the stats are ugly.

148
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we don't like to take games away.

149
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: And this might be a point that Dave would have

150
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: made here, but he had eleven catches, two hundred and

151
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: ten yards two talk about Cooper. Yeah, okay, Cooper, I

152
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: know you were talking about car I was just looking

153
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: at these Cooper stats. He's played twelve games. He has

154
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: a two hundred and ten yard game with two touchdowns

155
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: and eleven catches. Like that was amazing. How long ago

156
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: that was the can the City Wild? Yeah October um.

157
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: But he's got two hundred and eighty nine yards in

158
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: the other eleven games. Whoa, we'll back up, Yeah, he's

159
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: been two hundred and eighty nine yards. I'm trying to

160
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: do a quick math here, four ninety nine to ten

161
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: in one game. So two eighty nine had a bad

162
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: year and three touchdowns, that's what I'm saying. You can

163
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: say he's good. That's remarkably bad, Like it's a lot

164
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: more on No, no game more than sixty two yards.

165
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: But against the Chiefs to ten with the world watching

166
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: on Thursday nine, that was a great game. And this

167
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: is every bit of it. You know, this was one

168
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: of the most explosive offenses in the year. Left. Yeah,

169
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: last year, Derek Carr, like I for the third time,

170
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: he nearly won the MVP, or was at least in

171
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: the consideration. Was Otavius Murray the runner last year? Yes? Okay,

172
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: So did the Cowboys want Cooper to play or not? Maybe? Yeah,

173
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: you you probably you probably want to go in and well,

174
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, you've got five touchdowns that I mean, he's

175
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: still kind of he's still I don't the fact that

176
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: he had a two hundred yard receiving day says that

177
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: it's possible, Like, yeah, he's capable of doing that. And

178
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: you know how the luck is of this team if

179
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: there's something that's that that can be exploited. Sometimes you

180
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: end up in a bad situation and he gets exploited.

181
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: I just uh, I mean they made they made that

182
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: Denver offence look all world in week two. So I

183
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: in researching this scouting report, there are people that say

184
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: he might not play again the rest of the year. Like,

185
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, so we'll see. I don't know what.

186
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's two, it was, it's early in the week,

187
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: it's only Wednesday. Nobody's practiced yet. That's something to keep

188
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: an eye on. But the other thing with that is like,

189
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: as this all tends to kind of snowball. Quarterback's not

190
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: playing well, the offensive line hasn't been great, Cooper's not great.

191
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: And then after Amari Cooper, like this is either leading receiver, No,

192
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: he's not, their leading their leading receivers Jared Cook okay,

193
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: and then tight end, yeah, Michael Crabtree is there as well,

194
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: but like without a chain, hey will, I just don't

195
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: wear it on the field, dude, I don't get it deads.

196
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Don't wear your diamonds. Jordan Lewis, if we're asking Joan's

197
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna steal this is going to be though, Yeah, my

198
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: thing is is this for as dynamic as they were

199
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: last year with Amari Cooper either out or hobbled. I

200
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: was just not afraid of most of the I mean, okay,

201
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: Jared Cook, he burned the Cowboys in the playoffs. I

202
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: get that he's a good player. He's got six hundred

203
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: and twenty one yards, he's averaging thirteen yards per catch,

204
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: But like, if that's your best option, if tight ends

205
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: your best option, then is that far for you to

206
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: move the ball consistently? Michael Michael Crabtree's got He's sitting

207
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: on five hundred yards like that, I mean a lot

208
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys. Larin't larry in a lot there in

209
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: terms of just like this amazing dynamic passing production. After

210
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: after Cooper, you go Crabtree and then Cordurell Patterson, who

211
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: is like, I'm so, but he's the epitome of looks

212
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: like Tarzan, plays like Jane like that guy doesn't. He's

213
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: never done much for me. He's a great he has

214
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 1: at times been a great kick returner. He's way more

215
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: likely to like get an end around than go down

216
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: the field and catch a football. And you know, um,

217
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: talk to me a little more about Marshawn Lynch. Is

218
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: he is he a guy that is not getting Like

219
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: we talked about the fact that they are twenty six

220
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: and rush yards per game. Is that more a function

221
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: of them not running him enough like his Are his

222
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: yards per carry high enough that has suggested if he

223
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: got more carries, they'd have a more productive running game.

224
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: Or is this just simply a situation where they're just

225
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: not running the ball well at all? See and I

226
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: watched the Chiefs game, which they were atrocious, and he

227
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: looked like Marshawn Lynch to me. I mean they were

228
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: running power, power runs and trap stuff. He's cutting fieldback,

229
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: bulldoze and over linebackers, and I mean it wasn't like

230
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: he was great. Obviously, they didn't score any points until

231
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: late in the third order of that game. They lost

232
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine to fifteen, or twenty six to fIF

233
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: twenty six to fifteen. But he's still he looks like

234
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: the same guy to me. He's got six hundred yards

235
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: on the year, seven touchdowns. If you watched him play

236
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: the Giants two weeks ago, he had a sixty yard

237
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: touchdown run. Like he can still do that stuff. It

238
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: just hasn't been there for whatever reason, and you know,

239
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line, maybe that's that's part of it. Like

240
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: you said, twenty six and sacks, but for them to

241
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: only be a Russian for ninety one yards a game

242
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: seems weird to me. Like I said, I don't think

243
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch is the same guy, but I don't think

244
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: he's dropped that far off that it's predominantly on him.

245
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: All Right, So tell me the one thing, if there's

246
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: one thing you can isolate and say, if they are

247
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: a productive offensively, this will be the reason why. This

248
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: is the one thing that they do well that they

249
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: could possibly exploit against this Cowboys defense. Well, I'm Marshawn's

250
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: averaging four point two yards per carrying just forever that's worth.

251
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: That's a pretty decent which I'm happy that Anthony Hitchins

252
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: and Sean Lee will both be That's what that was

253
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: My main impression from watching them play was like, Marshawn

254
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: Lynch will be a problem for this team if Lee

255
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: and Hitchins aren't playing well. But they've played well all years,

256
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: so that seems that's great to me. They're both out there. Yeah, No,

257
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm watching because for whatever, I mean,

258
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: wherever you want to assign the blame, the Oakland passing

259
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: game just doesn't have it at all this year. I

260
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: don't that I didn't see anything that particularly scares me,

261
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: especially if Amari Cooper's not playing. They tend to be

262
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: better at home on the road, or does it matter?

263
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: They're pretty much the same team regardless. Well there's six

264
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: and seven, so I don't have that offhand. I'm sorry

265
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: you stumped me. Their team or their offense either one.

266
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: I looked this up there they're four and three at home,

267
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: the same team. If you're below five hundreds, you're probably

268
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: I doubt you're just I mean, I guess you know.

269
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: The year the Cowboys went twelve and four, they went

270
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: undefeated on the road and four and four at home.

271
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: I guess that's possible. But if you're below five hundred,

272
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: you're probable means are much better team on the road.

273
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: With the record. You know, the Cowboys are four and three,

274
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: uh two acts to four and two. You're right, four

275
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: and the road on the road, So I guess that's

276
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't think of it that way because both their

277
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: road losses are just beat downs, but I guess that's true.

278
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: You guys have made me scared. I haven't been, but

279
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm just afraid of I don't believe much in home

280
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: field advantage. But what the conversation yesterday, you guys scare me.

281
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm the black hole. I don't know what the black

282
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: hole is, but I'm excited. I don't know about I'm

283
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: sure you are. This is gonna be. This is gonna

284
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: be your one and only chance to see like they

285
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: won't be there the next time the Cowboys play the rate.

286
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: That's true. This is the last optunity. What I'm clapping

287
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: glad that that's the last time to be in that stay.

288
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: This is the last time we get to go. Well,

289
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: I have to go, no, because we'll probably play there

290
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Oakland is a is an interesting It's

291
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: it's a dump. I've been to Oakland Alameda Coliseum. It's

292
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: a dump, but it's it's cool though, like the black

293
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, we I've never been there when the Raiders

294
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: were at least relevant. I know they're not good this year,

295
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: but like the fans, it would have been cool to

296
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: go last year. Yeah, but you know it'll be a

297
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: night game. I feel like the Raiders probably haven't played

298
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: a lot of primetime games in the last decade or so,

299
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: they hadn't enough to deserve it. But this is a

300
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: rival game. You know, this is a rival the fan

301
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: base is. It's a rivalry for the for this fan

302
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: base and you know in particular, so this is a

303
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: big deal. You know, when when we go to Oxnard

304
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: every year for training camp, you can tell there's there's

305
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: two teams that people really care. They'll be Oakland. There

306
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: are Oakland fans that come to our practice, our training camp.

307
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: You'll see some Oakland jerseys during our training camp and

308
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: ox Yeah, that was interesting, but that'll be honestly, that'll

309
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: be that's the same in either place. Like when Oakland

310
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: comes to play here, there are a lot of Raider

311
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: fans in the in the audience at the Cowboy at

312
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: at and T Stadium, same thing when we go there,

313
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: there will be a lot of Cowboys fans there. Yeah,

314
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: well most Raiders, I think. To next point though, like

315
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are team. There's Oakland, San Francisco, and then

316
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. And we'll see what happens with the Rams

317
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: now that they're back. But those are the three and

318
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: so I know all the Cowboys fans that live out

319
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: on the West coast, like this is a big deal

320
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: for them to have bragging rights over those West coast.

321
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: So we haven't played a regular season game there since

322
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. Oh, I'm thinking about preseason. We've

323
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: played a lot of preseason we have. All I know

324
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: is when we walked down to do our post game,

325
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna I'm gonna be in between you guys,

326
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: I need someone in front of me. I'm gonna I

327
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: will tell you this Oakland is that is the only

328
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: stadium and that is the only stadium in the league

329
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: where I've walked in the stadium and smell marijuana. Like

330
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: I was like, is this okay? Like I'm smelling this

331
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: in a stadium? Is this okay? And that's Oakland for you.

332
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get a picture with the gorilla I thought,

333
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: you guys say you're gonna go take a toke. I

334
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: was like, man, that's not good. I'm not gonna not

335
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: a good idea. Say okay, good, Just I gonna tell anybody,

336
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get a picture with the gorilla guy

337
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: and the skull guy. And all though crazy, is the

338
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: skull guys still there. I don't know. I'm gonna check

339
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: it out. I want to see him, Darth Vader. Yeah,

340
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: and I think there's a chef maybe. I don't know.

341
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff chef. There's a lot of

342
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: stuff going on in them. But supposedly they're not nice.

343
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: Well they're not nice to the opposing team. Yeah, but

344
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: I don't what's that got to do with me. I

345
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: think they'll be okay. Honestly, I don't think Oakland is

346
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: as bad. Honestly, I don't think Oakland's near as bad

347
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: as Philly fans. In my opinion. I've only had eggs

348
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: thrown it at my bus one right, So Philly fans

349
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: are much different, like they are on a whole different

350
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: level than anybody else. The Oakland fans. Yeah, they rude,

351
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: hard for their team and more fun. You might get

352
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: stuck if you say something crazy, but hey, it happens, right,

353
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: So you know Philly stuck. Yeah, no, I got you.

354
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: Second year covering the team in Philly is two thousand.

355
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: I was on the sideline at the end of the game.

356
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: Randall Cunningham was the quarterback for the Cowboys that day,

357
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, something hit me in the

358
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: bottom of the foot, and I like looked down and

359
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: there was a there was a like d size battery

360
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: thrown your foot. Oh I know, I mean dulous and Philly.

361
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: That makes sense. So all that stuff about the seattle

362
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: and the beer thrown on the guy whatever. Yeah, No,

363
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: Philly is a whole different level. Like those fans are crazy,

364
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I think I think Oakland's fun. It'll be

365
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: a fun game. It'll be a fun atmosphere. I guarantee

366
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: on a Sunday night it will be a fun atmosphere, hope.

367
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: So it's unique because unlike all the other stadiums, there's

368
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: typically three to four ways to get on the field,

369
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: but there's only one. And so you got you walk

370
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the Raiders sideline, so you

371
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: have to go all the way around one way or other.

372
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: And don't we have to go Don't you have to

373
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: go through the fans when you come down the elevator,

374
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: you have to go through the fans to get to

375
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: the field. If the elevators working, I'm pretty sure we

376
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: have to go through the fans. That was It's a dump. Yeah, though,

377
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: So I shouldn't wear blue wear blue. I'm gonna leave

378
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: mine you shouldn't have to worry about that. Like there

379
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: will be other things you should probably be worried about,

380
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: but you don't have to worry about somebody make what

381
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: huh it's saying like it could be a rough day.

382
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: Was the last time we were there? The kid from

383
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: Akron was the quarterback who like it was it was

384
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: preseason or it was a kid. No for us An

385
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: it was like our it was Tanny. That's who it was. Tanny.

386
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: Tanny time. Yeah, try to lead a like last second

387
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: comeback against them. I think they won. Yeah, I don't

388
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: think it worked out for We're gonna do throwback Thursday

389
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: tomorrow and we're gonna pick one of the nineties games.

390
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: So they won there. But I was thinking the best

391
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: memory that I have from going to Glynn was when

392
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: Romo in one drive went from you're gonna be cut, like, yeah,

393
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: he is gonna be cut tomorrow. Two there's a you know,

394
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: because he threw an interception on fourth down like that said,

395
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: he's been horrible, Henson's been horrible. They just cut Quincy

396
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: like Romo, They're gonna cut this Romo guy. And it

397
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: was offsides on the Raiders. Oh so we get to

398
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: extend the drive, all right, and then it just was

399
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,239
Speaker 1: Romo just twelve two six, eight fourteen what marched him

400
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: down the field, down the one clock running out? He

401
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: should have spiked it. He's decided. His instincts said I

402
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: could sneak it in and win the game, and he did.

403
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: And then the term Moxie was born with him. And

404
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: that's when Romo became Tony Romo. That day and in

405
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: a preseason game, and you know it went from there.

406
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: But I guarantee you if he if that there was

407
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: not a holding penalty or off side whatever the penalty

408
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: was on the Raiders and the game ended like that,

409
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: he was going to be released. Ye. So and if

410

412
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: that was a good one. What was it called Starcross

413
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: something I think it was. I think that one was Starcross.

414
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: But it's about Quincy Carter and Tony Romo and about

415
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: that moment. I know there's a lot we have to

465
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 1: the second segment of the Break Life from the SWBC

466
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: Mortgage studios at the Star. We're talking Cowboys versus Raiders.

467
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys that take on the Raiders this Sunday at Sunday

468
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: Night Football seven thirty pm Central Time. Make sure you

469
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: check it out. Cowboys are on a two game two

470
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: game winning streak now yep, two game winning streak. Need

471
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: to win five in a row inder to even have

472
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: a shot at the playoffs. So we'll see if they

473
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: can continue their winning ways this week, and of course

474
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: next week they get Ezekiel Elliott back. That is the

475
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: big things they can get past this week, then you

476
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: feel a lot better about those final two games. Is

477
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: it mathematical that they're out if they lose another one?

478
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: Or is it just like such a slimming I think

479
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: I think mathematically they're out if the teams above them

480
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: also win. Yeah, because really the big thing is those

481
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: three teams in the NFC South you need right now,

482
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys went out, you need one of those

483
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: teams to lose two of their three final games. Yeah,

484
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: And and so if you lose another one, then I

485
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: think it kind of creates a scenario where even with that,

486
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you get in. Yeah, so I think

487
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: you're probably probably done keeping keep absolutely if nothing else,

488
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: just get to that final game and make it count

489
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: like to where it actually matters. And if it doesn't

490
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: work out, then it doesn't work out, you know. And

491
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, you know, playing without wins, I mean

492
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: I still think that they're going to be good. You

493
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: guys feel sorry for the Eagles at all? I feel

494
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: fans Eagle fans, I should I feel sorry for the

495
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: Eagles are and wins, I don't feel hold on, hold on,

496
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: rewind it back about minutes. I'm standing on the sideline.

497
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: I got hit by a battery. Yeah, I feel real

498
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: sorry for you. No, but here's the thing, Like, you

499
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: have a good team and a good young quarterback and

500
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: he got hurt on a play that didn't count. Sorry,

501
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: and and they were this is the thing, but I

502
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: told you you did the game party quarterback. They didn't

503
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: lose the game, though they lost the previous game before that.

504
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. They're gonna They're gonna have two

505
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: big losses in two straight weeks. Got it. But the

506
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: thing about it is that's been the history of it.

507
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: Makes that anyway? Is they all? It seems like whenever

508
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: they get on a roll and they think, yes, this

509
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: is going to be our year, like they're the only

510
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: team in the division is not won a championship. And

511
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: every time it seems like they get into a position

512
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: where they think they have something rolling, it just doesn't

513
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: work out for him. So you just got if I

514
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: had the drop, I would play the Clinton Dicks drop.

515
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: That's what I would playing for that. Huh huh. Yeah,

516
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: So you got no faith that, thank you? You got

517
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: no faith that Nick Foles can. I do actually hate

518
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl and Philly in twenty thirteen. Yeah, that's

519
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: the thing. I think They're gonna go deep in the

520
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: playoffs with Nick Foles. They're a good football team. They're

521
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: a good football team. Carson Wentz is really good. Yes,

522
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: but I want you to tell me a team who

523
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm a believer that that offense flows because Wentz makes

524
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: some throws that are exceptional throws. I don't think Nick

525
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: Foles do. Do I think it's gonna happen. No, But

526
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me who you just are, Like,

527
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: that's the NFC team right there, if that's the way. No,

528
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: it's not that. I just think that with wins, they're

529
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: right up there at the top. Without wins, I think

530
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: there are probably four teams, if not maybe more, that

531
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: are better than them without wins. When it's when it's

532
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: all said and done, whatever the six team NFC field is,

533
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: I feel like it could be anybody's day. Like any

534
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: of the six teams that make it could probably make

535
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I don't think. I don't think the

536
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: Eagles are in that category me anymore about wins. With

537
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: that deepens and the fact that they'll probably they'll probably

538
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: be playing any of their games at home, Yeah, I

539
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: think so. Are you sure about that though? I mean,

540
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: they they're not. They haven't locked up anything. They gotta

541
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 1: they gotta leg up if they can get home, if

542
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: they can at least get a bye week and be

543
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: one game one home game away from the NFC. Tap,

544
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: are they one game ahead of game ahead of Minnesota? Minnesota,

545
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: who consequently probably has the second worst two games ahead

546
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: of the Rams. Is that right? Yeah? Okay, so they lose, No,

547
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: they're three game, No, they're two games, they're two two

548
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: games ahead of them. So if they lose two of

549
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: these final three, they won't have a buy. I don't

550
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: think they're going to, but we'll see, we'll see. I

551
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: think that will be very interesting, and I again, I

552
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: think they have a good team. I'm just not certain that,

553
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: as we've seen this year, one player can make a

554
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: huge difference, and I do think Wins is that player

555
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: for them. I think there are probably a lot of

556
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: other injuries they can absorb, which they have this year.

557
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: They lost their left tackle, they lost other good players,

558
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: but I don't think they've lost the player of the

559
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: caliber of Wins and what Wins provides for them. I

560
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: think that's going to be a really, really key for them.

561
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: We shall see, we'll see. All right, let's get to

562
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: some questions. You guys can give us a call the

563
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: numbers two one four eighty seven to twenty one h two.

564
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: You can also hit us on Twitter at Cowboys break.

565
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: We have a call from Calvin in Atlanta. Calvin, what up? Hey?

566
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody? Hey? Doing? Hey? Pretty good? Hey listen. UM,

567
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: I know coming up they got some team that have

568
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: some really good defenses. And for me, when I when

569
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: I see this team face a team that is just

570
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: as physical defensively as we are offensively, Lenahan can't schematically

571
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: get you a victory. Um. I think as I watched

572
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: him call players or whatever, to me, it's like his

573
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: his philosophy is We're gonna go in and physically beat

574
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: you up for sixty minutes. And if he can't do that,

575
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: he can't schematically get to get to a victory, which

576
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I mean, we're talking about a

577
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: guy who comes from Detroit where he had possibly a

578
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback, arguably the best receiver in the game,

579
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: and he couldn't accomplish anything. And his best play there

580
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: was the jump ball, which we always see here. We're dad,

581
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: I just don't know if he can get it done.

582
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna thrown out there. I know it's a

583
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: long shout of thrown out there. Need to bring Tony

584
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: Romo back as the offer as a coordinator he knows

585
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: the scheme, he knows the personnel, and he knows defense.

586
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: Hang up this, hey, hey, Calvin, Calvin, Calvin, real quick?

587
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: Are you just to be clear? Are you saying you

588
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: think Oakland is a good defense? Not not necessarily Oakland,

589
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: but you're talking about the last two? I got you? Okay,

590
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: I just want to be clear in that. All right, thanks,

591
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: all right, thank you. I wonder if Calvin is on Instagram?

592
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: And if he is, does he follows Tony Romo? And

593
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: if he does, did he see Tony Romo laying on

594
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: his couch the other day? It's not coming back to

595
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: be an offensive coordinator. I don't think he wants to

596
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: do that. See your kids living the life. I'm leaving.

597
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to going to the office, try to figure

598
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: this out, and it's not gonna work. In fact, if

599
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: he's ever going to be a coordinator, he'd be a

600
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. He's not gonna be an offensive coordinator. He

601
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: ever was going to be a coach, he'd be a

602
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. What makes you say that? Because he knows

603
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: how to stop him? I mean he would he said

604
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: that before he said that, I mean he said I'll

605
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: be I mean, I know how to. I would rather

606
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: scheme a defense than be an offensive coordinator. In fact,

607
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: I've seen him be a defensive coordinator in flag football

608
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: game too. But that's not why I said that. I

609
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: was just Tea. That was before Tony Romo. Yeah, it

610
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: was Tea. We got this guy, nobody knows him. His

611
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: name's Tony. He's gonna come out and play flag football

612
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: with us, and we're gonna be good until the playoffs.

613
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: Threw five interceptions in a playoff game, true store three

614
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: yikes by the team that was all all Hispanic, spoke

615
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: Spanish and had all these plays and stuff and just

616
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: confused the hell out of everybody and him, and then

617
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: he kept throwing interception after interception. This is a second

618
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: I want to they. I wonder if now they have

619
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: a great story, like they're like, we play Tony. There's

620
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: no doubt. There's no doubt they did they if they,

621
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: you think they would have noticed later that was a

622
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: guy that was probably yeah, yeah it was. It was bad.

623
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: It was real bad. I mean, he'd only that was

624
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: his first year, and I remember thinking, like this guy,

625
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: he's having a hard time with oh, black football. I

626
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: don't know how he's gonna do in the end. Yeah. Yeah,

627
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: there's two Romo stories from two thousand and four. Good,

628
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: all right, Let's let's get back to some questions. Let's

629
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: take a question from Twitter. We will help the Cowboys

630
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: defense more against the Raiders the return of a for

631
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: rush for Russies, ferocious pass rush or a great run

632
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: game from the offense and effective Redstone scoring. Well, Hell,

633
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: if the Raiders are twenty six in sacks, that's nice.

634
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: But I thought the Cowboys pass rush would have more

635
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: success against the Giants. So I don't know. I mean,

636
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: Eli doesn't get sacked the whole does he? But they

637
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: are I mean they You're right, they get to car

638
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean the Chiefs sacked him three or four times. Yeah. Um,

639
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of that. Like, I don't know

640
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: from watching this for DeMarcus Laren is gonna get a

641
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: ton of calls this week, right, Did y'all talk about that?

642
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: We did, and we kind of disagreed. I thought that

643
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: I like that he's kind of stood up for himself

644
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: and the team. But I do wonder is it gonna

645
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: have some you know, did he go too far? That's

646
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: what I want? Yeah, when you when you when you

647
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: go when you've ended the way that he ended it,

648
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: I think that's when there may be reffs that take

649
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: that personal. Now, of course, here's the other part to that.

650
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: I think reff's buying large are probably professionals, which means

651
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: it as a professional, you dismissed that kind of stuff

652
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: and you say, I still got to do my job,

653
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: And so it doesn't necessarily make you not make calls

654
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: that you should make because you're a professional. You got

655
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: to be looking at all that. You can't be saying, yeah,

656
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: where's ninety. Yeah, I don't worry unless they're just joining

657
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: for the whole team and say yeah, exactly now. Now,

658
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: maybe that, but I honestly, I don't think that happens.

659
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: I honestly think more than anything else, is just gonna

660
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: wake up the league to him, and he's probably gonna

661
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: get fine. But but that's really what it's gonna do,

662
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: is the league will look at it and say, probably

663
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: we'll just say he's complaining for no reason. I don't

664
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: know that it will make them necessarily look at this

665
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: and say, hey, what's going on here? I don't know,

666
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: maybe it. Garrett seemed really upset about when he saw

667
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: the video from DeMarcus Lawrence. Really no, I don't really know.

668
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: And I wonder you looked at it like. That's the

669
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: other thing though, too, is you know teams every week

670
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: they send a tape. They usually send the tape to

671
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: the league saying, hey, here's some things we're saying that

672
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: are not being called the way that they should be called.

673
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: And I wonder if this has been an ongoing thing

674
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: for them, where every week they're sending in a tape

675
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: saying hold, hold, hold, hold, and nothing's being called. And

676
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: maybe Jason looks at Dan's like, yeah, it wasn't wrong.

677
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm barred with white hit Dad. You said you're on board. Yeah, yep, absolutely.

678
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't have a problem with it. I

679
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: thought it was funny. Actually, I thought it was great.

680
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: It's immediately when you said it, though, I was like, oh, fine,

681
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna get he's gonna lose some money on that one.

682
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: But hey, if he's willing to do it, so why

683
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: why you get fine for that? Hold On? Hold on.

684
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: I hate being this scrooge here, but if the refs

685
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: is not it's not fine. It's not it's not fine

686
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: for for our society. It's not I really like him

687
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: as a player. I like him, and he's been a

688
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: stand up leader. I like everything he did. But we

689
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: can't say that I love it that that's not what

690
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: you do. You don't. You don't cuss out authority like that.

691
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: If we if we were in a room with like

692
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: Congress people and we're talking politics, yeah, be polite, and

693
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: you have a certain language, you're talking about football. I

694
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the right arena these ways. Yeah,

695
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: I know, that's a horrible example like that. I'm saying

696
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: in that scenario, that's the way you should, you know,

697
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: watch out, Yeah, right, you should. Obviously we're not gonna

698
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: everyone knows what's happening in today's world. But aside from that,

699
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: you're talking about football players in this kind of environment,

700
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 1: saying the F word. It is not a big deal

701
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: in this environment. I agree, there's a level of respect.

702
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: Agree about the word. It's about what, you know what.

703
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: Four minutes, I'll tell you a little bit more why

704
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: I think that way, but why I believe that way.

705
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: But I just think it's not like the worst thing

706
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: in the world. But I'm just saying he has a

707
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: chance to maybe hurt his team and himself even more

708
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: by by saying, Mom, I don't I heard him any

709
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: hurt him anymore than they already are. They've gotten eight

710
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: holding flags all year. Yeah, it's not it's half of

711
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: the average. I'm just saying it for this show. I

712
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: y'all can say what you want, but I'm not gonna

713
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: sit here and say, like, I loved it, that was great, yep,

714
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: cuss cuss out the refs and just just call them.

715
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: I get what you're I get what you're saying mainly

716
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: from the standpoint, mainly from the standpoint of it's not

717
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: good when you say it's not good for our society.

718
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: I get that because anytime there is a you know,

719
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: that level of disrespect shown to an authority figure, it's

720
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: not a good precedent to set. I get that. I

721
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: guess the point that I'm saying is, I think it's

722
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: it was. It's okay at some point for somebody to

723
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: step up and say something about it, because I think

724
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous that this is a this is a penalty

725
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: that throughout the NFL you hear people say a year

726
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: after year after year, you could probably call it on

727
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: every single play in every single game, and yet for

728
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: seven games the Cowboys have gotten no calls, and we

729
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: have literally sat there and watched moments when these defensive

730
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: linemen have been basically tackled and there's no call. So

731
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: it's about time, in my opinion, somebody says something. Could

732
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: he have used better words? Probably so? Could you. Could

733
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: he have said it a different way? Probably so. But

734
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: I also think a lot of that may be born

735
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: out of a certain level of frustration that, man, this

736
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: is continuing to happen. You think it's going to get

737
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: better at some point, but it doesn't seem to be

738
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: getting better, and it's just it's it gets to a

739
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: point where it's just a breaking point. And I think

740
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: we all sometimes find ourselves in situations where we may

741
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: say things the wrong way because of our level of frustration.

742
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: That doesn't make it right, but it certainly happens, and

743
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: it happens to all of us. Right, I'm good at that.

744
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: I think what also helps, I mean, for men not

745
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: to cut you off as kind of ironic all people,

746
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: Yeah you're one, Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, now he's gonna say.

747
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: I think it helps for me agreeing to that, just

748
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: because I know DeMarcus character and I know had it

749
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: been some other guy, that is just ridiculous. I don't know.

750
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna throw names, but had you been somebody else,

751
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: and I would have been like, oh my god. Yeah.

752
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: But you know DeMarcus, like, yes, he's a crazy guy

753
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: in some ways, but he's a you know, he's a

754
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,000

831
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: Tim Boston, Tim, what up? Oh hey guys, thanks taking

832
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: my call. He appreciate it. A quick question, Um, if

833
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: there's any area that you guys have concerns with moving forward? Um? Nick,

834
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: it always talks about receivers. We need that speed guy,

835
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: we need those you know, those receivers. I mean the

836
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: last couple of games, in particular the last one, you know,

837
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: we had some issues catching the wall obviously moving forward,

838
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: do you see them addressing the wide receiver position at

839
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: any point, whether it be the draft, free agency? I mean,

840
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: free agency hasn't necessarily worked out for us too well

841
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. Um, so do you

842
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: think it's something we're going to address in the draft

843
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: or or or free agency? That's out of my question.

844
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: I'll listen and hang up. Thanks guys, Thank you. I

845
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: would be shocked this year if the Cowboys in the

846
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 1: draft don't address the wide receiver position. Shocked. I'd be shocked,

847
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: having drafted too last year. And I say in a

848
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: meaningful way. What I mean by that is at least

849
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: top three picks. Wow, shocked. I'd be shocked if they

850
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: got that. I'd be shocked because I think I think

851
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: this year illuminated for me at least that they have

852
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: a hard time with a reliable receiving threat, somebody that

853
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: gets open regularly and creates opportunities. They have a lot

854
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: of guys. I think they have several guys who have

855
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: the ability to catch the ball in situations where it

856
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: looks like the cover, but if you throw it in

857
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: the right place, they can probably make the catch. I

858
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: don't know if they have a lot of guys who

859
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: can get open, like even against man coverage. We see

860
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: all the time, and I actually spent this last game

861
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: spending quite a bit of time. I told you Nick

862
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: before the game started, I was going to really focus

863
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: on the receivers. Yeah, there aren't a lot of times

864
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: that you see receivers open. Part of that may be

865
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: because they're not scheming them to get open. I think

866
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: that's a big issue. You look at other teams and

867
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: you see how like these teams all around the league,

868
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: how many times do you see like all of these

869
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: rub routes and things that basically just free guys up

870
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys don't do a lot of that stuff. In my opinion,

871
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: they don't do it enough. But even that being said,

872
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't think these receivers are the kind of receivers

873
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: that get open enough and present themselves as an open

874
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: receiver to make a big play, as I've seen with

875
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: other teams around the league. So I would be shocked

876
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: again if they don't address that high in the draft

877
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: this year. I hope you're right, because I say this

878
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: all the time, like there's so much receiver talent coming

879
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: out of college football these days, and you can find

880
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: great receivers as late as like pick seventy eighty. You

881
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: don't even okay, Antonio Brown was like pick one fifty

882
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: something that don't forget that. I mean, Juju Smith Schuster

883
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: was pick sixty seven. I think Jarvis Landry was pick

884
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: seventy eight. Like you can find good, good players later on.

885
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: So I hope you're right. I just look at it,

886
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: and I don't think Das is going anywhere. I don't

887
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: think Terence is going anywhere. Cole's got another year left

888
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: on his deal. Switzer's here, I don't think he's going anywhere.

889
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: And I think Noah Brown has been impressive enough that

890
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. Really, the only mail Brown is

891
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: still the same of what you already have. And I'm

892
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: just I'm I'm not worried about that. I'm looking at

893
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: the numbers and I'm looking at like, how you get

894
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 1: these guys on the field. And I wonder if these

895
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: guys are gonna look at it and say, we can

896
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: get through one more year before we have to worry

897
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: about this. And if we draft a guy high, we're

898
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,240
Speaker 1: putting somebody that we invested in on the bench, whether

899
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: that's one of your big money, bigger receivers or your

900
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: draft pick or whatever. So I completely agree with your logic.

901
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 1: I just wonder if they will feel as strongly about

902
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: it as you do. Here's one thing I will say,

903
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: although Switzer is going to be on this team, Switzer

904
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: has a role, and whether they use him as a

905
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: receiver a ton or not, he's still going to be

906
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: on this team because he's a return guy. Right. So

907
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: there's a way to be able to get a guy

908
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: that you draft and you put him in there, and

909
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,919
Speaker 1: you know, as much as they rotate receivers in and out,

910
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: if he's your fourth receiver, then there's a good chance

911
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: he's gonna play quite a bit of snaps, right, So

912
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: I think there's I think there's still an opportunity for him.

913
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: And it doesn't change, It doesn't change necessarily from the

914
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: standpoint of the makeup of the other guys on the

915
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver corps. Let's put it another way, if one

916
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: of my first three picks is a wide receiver, I

917
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: want him on the field all the time again, which

918
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: that's okay, that's okay, because that just means that Terrence

919
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: will be have limited numbers snaps. And I think I'm

920
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 1: looking on right, I'm looking at Terrence's contract right now.

921
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get cut after this season, right, but

922
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: he probably will get cut after the next season, right,

923
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: So the same So it works, right if if if

924
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: a little bit next year to sign Brice back, you

925
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: draft him now, you draft the guy now, and then

926
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: he plays that role in switcher. You know, maybe he

927
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: can do more than two catches for nine yards this

928
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 1: year next year, and then you know, and then then

929
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: you figure out what you want to do with Daz

930
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: if if you haven't already done it, your logic, Hey,

931
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: I agree with both of you. I'm just saying I

932
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: wonder if they'll think maybe not, we're good and then

933
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, we're going to spend a top fifty

934
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: receiver real quick. How they get out from us. It's

935
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: tough to throw that guy in though, immediately, especially if

936
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: you're didn't worry about what are they doing with Desi's

937
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: contract depends on how good It's not hard to throw

938
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: that guy in immediately. If he's good, if he's the

939
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 1: top like sixty caliber talent, I mean, like receivers, these

940
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: like the good ones get I mean, especially if it's

941
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: a first round pick. Yeah, but the good ones? Are

942
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: you talking about the ones that like? You're right if

943
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: it's a if it's an early to mid round first

944
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: round pick, then I think you're probably right. You probably

945
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: can throw that guy and expect him to play and

946
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: play well immediately. I also will say, though, is typically

947
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: when you find a receiver that's thrown in immediately that

948
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: does well, it's usually in a situation where there's another

949
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: really good receiver on the team and that takes a

950
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: little bit of the pressure off him rather than him

951
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: coming in and being the man immediately. I think that's

952
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: a big part of that. And there's a good chance

953
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: that will still be here, so it won't matter. You'll

954
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: still have Dazz on the opposite side. I just look

955
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: at the I look at the Cooper Cups of the world,

956
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: and again, Jarvis Landry and I could probably come. But

957
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: Robert Woods has been their main guy this year. He's

958
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: been leading them this year as far as receivers or

959
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: he's not. I noticed, I didn't say Juju because he's

960
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: got a B. Robert Woods is not a B like that.

961
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're good, you can get in and play.

962
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: That's I believe that. Yes, I agree with I think

963
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: we're saying the same thing. I just think that it

964
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: probably helps to do that a year early rather than

965
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: doing it once you've already made those moves and those

966
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: guys are no longer on your roster. Question for you guys,

967
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: this is I mean, it's kind of hard because just

968
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: not taking into consideration all the different factors such as

969
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: contract and money. Based on the group of wide receivers

970
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have right now, which ones ideally would

971
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: you like to keep if you had to restart the

972
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: whole group, And like say, I'm one hundred percent keeping

973
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: this guy and this guy and this guy and drafting.

974
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: You're not putting money involved, no talent wise, just all

975
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: based on talent if it's got nothing. So this the

976
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: salary cap doesn't affect anything. No, I'm just talking about

977
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: just talent. You're keeping Des, Yeah, I mean this is

978
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: the best one. I'm probably keeping Des Beasley and Noah

979
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: and I guess Switzer real quick about when you'll think

980
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: about Terrence Williams. What's the one thing, the negative thing

981
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: you think the most about Terrence? Inconsistent catching, inconsistent everything. Yeah, yeah,

982
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: that's good. Did you know that he leads all Cowboy

983
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers in in catch in like the catch percentage

984
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: from the amount of targets to the catches. He's got

985
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: the best one. That doesn't mean that doesn't mean everybody

986
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: else hasn't been. I'm just saying, but I think Beasley

987
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: is at like fifty or sixty percent, which is ridiculous

988
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: for him because he's usually up in then like eight.

989
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: But how many times is Beasley? Like what that that

990
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: stat you're throwing out, that's a stat to me. That's

991
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: about targets. Yeah, And so there are situations where the

992
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 1: balls we've seen it this year where the ball severely overthrown.

993
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: Beasley's not getting up there to get that one right.

994
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: That's different than ball hits you in the chest and

995
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: falls to them. I know. All I'm saying is for

996
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: the amount of targets to the I mean the percentage.

997
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: You wouldn't think that he would be leading all of

998
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: the wide receivers over Noah Brown, over Bryce, over Dez.

999
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: Who's the worst on the team over Beasley. Oh, that

1000
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: is surprising for me. It's it's shocking that that he's

1001
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: the one at sixty seven percent. I mean, I'm not

1002
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: saying that he can do a better job at getting

1003
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: open and making plays all that. I just that's surprising

1004
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: to me. Best on the team is sixty seven percent. No, no,

1005
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: no the ride receivers, But okay, best Smith is the

1006
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: best of the best of the wide receivers wide receiver

1007
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: sixty That's still not good. But that's why I say

1008
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: I would be shocked at the Cowboys own address it,

1009
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 1: like that's a problem. I think it need to be addressed,

1010
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: and I think they'll do it in the first three

1011
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: rounds um And and I don't think they'll resign Bryce

1012
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: and so, like I said, I think he just kind

1013
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,479
Speaker 1: of ease him into it. And but let's let's flip

1014
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: that conversation. How much of that is the receivers and

1015
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: how much of that is Dak? Because let's remember the

1016
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: first year, Dak was put in a situation where they

1017
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 1: were putting as much on him, and he hasn't been

1018
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: great in some games. There's been some games where he

1019
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 1: was just wasn't great throwing the ball. So how much

1020
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: do you put on the receivers versus put on Dak.

1021
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: I have no problem envisioning, you know, going to the combine,

1022
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 1: the owners meetings, all those offseason interviews where they kind

1023
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: of give you hints about how they feel about things,

1024
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: and I have no problem envisioning, you know, a scenario

1025
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: where they're fine with the receivers that they have, if

1026
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 1: they can get their team back to running the running

1027
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: back the way it was with Zeke and maybe reinforcing

1028
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: the running back position, you know, getting back to what

1029
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: they did so well in twenty sixteen when they had

1030
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: the same receivers and they were much more successful. That

1031
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: is that? Yeah, I can hear that crystal clear in

1032
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: my ears, Like I already feel like they're going to

1033
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: say it, So I'm with you. That's like I said,

1034
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: I agree with what you're saying about the receivers, but

1035
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: I won't be surprised if they don't agree. Yeah, I

1036
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: just think, And I also think when you look at

1037
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: all the positions on the team that you could draft

1038
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: fore now, I'm still a big believer in draft the

1039
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: best guy that's available when you come up, But I

1040
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: think when you look at even just if you wanted

1041
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: to look at what you need, I don't know. I

1042
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: have a hard time coming up with a position that

1043
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: I think is way more important right now other than

1044
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: ny Bee linebacker than wide receiver. As far as what

1045
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna draf, I don't think they're gonna draft cornerbacks

1046
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: as a high priority. They've already done that. They're gonna

1047
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: give those guys time to develop. Linebacker, safety, and depending

1048
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: on what happens in free agency, offensive line. Yeah, I don't. Again,

1049
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't think any of those is necessarily other than linebacker.

1050
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: Because of the uncertainty of linebacker. I don't know that

1051
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 1: any of those I think is a bigger priority than

1052
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Maybe the same. I don't know that think

1053
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: one's bigger. I think they all are. That's why really

1054
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 1: That's why I was saying that, yes, what offensive line,

1055
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: because they wouldn't start immediately. So you're gonna take a

1056
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: first or second round pick on a guy that's not

1057
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: gonna start. That's why I said, it depends on free agency.

1058
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 1: If you don't have a left card, you might get

1059
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: a drag guy that can start right away. You don't

1060
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: think Cooper's coming back, I don't know. That's why I said,

1061
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: depending on free agency. He's a free agent. I don't

1062
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: know where it's going to happen to him. You might

1063
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 1: need a left card. Don't forget about tight end. Tight ends?

1064
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 1: Got it? Maybe a position in the second round, Maybe

1065
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: that needs to be addressed. Oh god, another second round

1066
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: tight I mean okay, I mean you did it eleven

1067
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: years ago. It's gonna keep running there out. Did you

1068
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: see Fasano still playing in You'll see that. The other

1069
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: day I was looking and I looked at the stats,

1070
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, he's been in the legal

1071
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 1: eleven years. He's a blocking tight end essentially, but he's

1072
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: made a nice career for himself. Huh. If they don't

1073
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: like him, I mean, if this team doesn't want to

1074
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: use him, then I don't I don't know what to

1075
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't know what to think

1076
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: of that. I don't really don't. There's there's much more

1077
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: going on. I'll just leave it at that. There's much

1078
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: more going on behind the scenes of this whole situation.

1079
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: Some people probably like him, some people don't. I don't.

1080
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what's going on with

1081
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: with a training camp concussion and he's never played. I

1082
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: just don't know, and I it just it doesn't seem

1083
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: something just doesn't seem right about this. I don't I

1084
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: don't know what's happened with him. And maybe there's more

1085
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: into his injury than we just haven't been told about

1086
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: all that. So but no, I mean, they obviously like

1087
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin or they didn't want anyone else to take him,

1088
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: so he'll be in the mix. But I think you

1089
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: need to get him another tight end in here. And

1090
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything about Jason Witten. Just think about

1091
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: Hannah and Swing. They don't really get open and do

1092
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: a whole lot for you. I know Hannah had the

1093
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: greatest catch of his life the other day, but I

1094
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: mean it doesn't do much. I mean, I think you

1095
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: need to get a different type of tied end in

1096
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: here somehow, I'm way, and I wouldn't be surprised if

1097
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: that's going to be on their radar. I think it

1098
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: was on their radar last year. They did like they

1099
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: did like a few of the tight ends class last year.

1100
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: So let's get a call from Chris and Houston. Chris,

1101
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: what up? Hello? Everybody? Thank you for taking the call.

1102
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: He excuse me. I agree with Dave about the safety

1103
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: being a higher priority than probably some of the other ones.

1104
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: And no, I'm not a Jeff Heath hater. I've always

1105
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: I've always liked them. I just never thought of him

1106
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: as a starter caliber type. And I don't know what

1107
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: happened to Barron Jones. I don't know why he hasn't,

1108
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, been better. But I did want to mention

1109
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 1: something I called in last week talking about something going

1110
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: on with electronic arts, and I just wanted to make

1111
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: sure that everybody was aware of this and that we

1112
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: keep pressing this issue. Electronic arts is getting into trouble

1113
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: with multiple governments around the world for basically selling gambling

1114
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: two children. Okay, we appreciate that, now, we know. Yeah,

1115
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: um okay, So he called in last week. Yeah, I

1116
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: don't remember, not on this show. Oh okay, I don't

1117
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: think I don't remember that. Yeah, I think it was

1118
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 1: the other one. Okay. Well, anyway, Um, platforms for everything.

1119
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: I don't think this is the one for that. This

1120
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: is not for us. We have a lot of this

1121
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: stuff to talk about. Let's get another question from Twitter

1122
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,439
Speaker 1: before you in the show. Well, how are you guys

1123
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: expecting that the Cowboys we will use rot Smith one

1124
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott comes back. Good question. We talked about that

1125
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: on cover four last night. I go no. I mean,

1126
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: I just think that's something that we really haven't discussed much.

1127
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,720
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it'll be a huge difference,

1128
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: because if you saw what he did in the passing game,

1129
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: I think he'll he'll probably be your third down back. Though.

1130
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't think you could just load everything up on

1131
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: Zeke as he as he comes back. I think it's

1132
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: really good timing for him to be a good on

1133
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 1: third down. I think he's your third down back. That's

1134
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: a good way to eat Zeke back in. You know,

1135
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: I don't like just throwing guys directly in and giving

1136
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: them all the snaps. I don't think they'll do that,

1137
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: so I think they probably will use him. One of

1138
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: his best plays of the game was picking up the

1139
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: blitz on the fifty four yard past the Beasley. Yeah,

1140
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 1: that was a huge play in the game, and obviously

1141
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have happened if he doesn't get his guy.

1142
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: So all the other touchdowns and plays he made that

1143
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: were great, but that one should have been on, you know,

1144
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 1: his one of his top three or four. I think

1145
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: the more important question is not when Zeke comes back,

1146
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: but this week against Oakland. Do you expect he'll have

1147
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: an increased role because of the production he had in

1148
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: this last game. That doesn't seem like Jason Garrett really

1149
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: it's I would imagine like they like they like what

1150
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: they got. I mean, like maybe maybe he'll see a

1151
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: few more carries, but like they're not gonna I don't

1152
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: think they're gonna drastically change anything. I think Alfred will

1153
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: be your first and second down guy, Rod third, and

1154
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: then he'll get a couple series, but I bet it.

1155
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: I thought more than anything, Rod Smith's success, I thought

1156
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: that touchdown really just showed the maturity that we're seeing

1157
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,919
Speaker 1: more out of Dak. I thought Dak did a great

1158
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: job of getting that play open for him and creating

1159
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: him a spot and recognizing, oh, if I move him here,

1160
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: look over here, throw it here, we can have a

1161
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: big play. And you know, Rod did the rest. But

1162
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really great play for Prescott.

1163
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: I'll throw this out there. I get what you're saying,

1164
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: and it makes sense, and you're probably right. But I

1165
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: hope Zeke comes back in a condition where he can

1166
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: handle the look like, I hope that they don't have

1167
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: to ease him in because he's not ready for it,

1168
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, Like it's I don't know if it'll be

1169
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: a matter of him being ready or not being ready,

1170
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: as much as just the history of how they do things. Yeah,

1171
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: it seems like when guys come back from whatever, they

1172
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: tend to not just throw them in and give him

1173
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: a full workload. They tend to kind of ease him

1174
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: back in. And maybe this is different. He's already played

1175
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,479
Speaker 1: some this season and they're at the final two games

1176
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: of the season and they feel like, hey, he's got

1177
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of got a bunch of carries left that

1178
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: we can use. Let's get him out there. I don't know,

1179
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: but just historically that doesn't seem like something that Jason

1180
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 1: likes to do. I agree with you. I just I

1181
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: hope he's I hope he's been conditioning and he's ready

1182
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: for a big workload, whether they want to give it

1183
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: to him or not. I think he will be. I

1184
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: think he's coming back. It's weird. It's weird that we're

1185
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,959
Speaker 1: five days away from that, I know, from this whole

1186
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: thing being over. Yeah, Monday, he can maybe back in

1187
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: the building Monday, Ye if he wants to be. I

1188
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: know that day. You know, it's the day off of

1189
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: the players. But all right, we appreciate you guys joining us.

1190
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: We're back tomorrow. We're gonna or at least Amber and

1191
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: Dave will be back tomorrow. They're gonna tell you all

1192
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: about this Oakland Raider defense and break down the matchup

1193
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: between Cowboys and Raiders. Till then for Nick Even, Dave Hellman,
