Speaker 1: I'm just okay today to Kyle, Why is that because
Speaker 1: my team lost yesterday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Seattle cracking. Um,
Speaker 1: you're darn right. They thought they weren't cracking. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: weren't cracking. Here's some crack, but they're not in. But
Speaker 1: you know, it just wasn't the way it needed to be.
Speaker 1: But you know, my son and I win, we represent it,
Speaker 1: you know, for for for a home from my hometown.
Speaker 1: He's a Dallas guy, which is kind of weird to say.
Speaker 1: You're not letting him be a Stars fan. No, he's
Speaker 1: a Star I we're not playing a cracking. So he
Speaker 1: but he had to wear he had to wear the merch.
Speaker 1: He had to wear. He wanted to. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: make it. Okay, that's fair. Stars got to win last
Speaker 1: night over the cracking. At one point I turned the
Speaker 1: game on and it was like eight shots, three goals
Speaker 1: for the Stars. I didn't like that average for the
Speaker 1: crack for the cracking Goldies trash. Yeah, it was pretty bad.
Speaker 1: But expansion go Stars only up from here. He watched
Speaker 1: the whole game. Oh, he was locked in, right, Why
Speaker 1: y'all put me into this? Man? I told you yesterday. Man,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get you to a game. Hey, I I
Speaker 1: will have my gloves scarf and and it's not you
Speaker 1: was pretty cool meat and spagnola. Let's go right there,
Speaker 1: you buying all the beer. Could you imagine all the
Speaker 1: pictures that would surface from that pairing. You gotta put
Speaker 1: Mickey in the middle. No, I think like a middle seat.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. Yeah, which what happened yesterday was
Speaker 1: after I said I didn't know anything. Then obviously Twitter
Speaker 1: takes over and then you start hearing you know people
Speaker 1: same you gotta get into yeah, when you're Horizon Hockey, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it's true. People people love their hockey. It's a fantastic sport.
Speaker 1: It's it's I think, in my in my opinion, outside
Speaker 1: of racing, it's the best sport to watch live. I
Speaker 1: love watching hockey live. And do you think about the
Speaker 1: most disgruntled people in your life that would be in
Speaker 1: the middle seat? Who do you pop up talk about?
Speaker 1: I love the man, but he's up there. He loves
Speaker 1: his hockey because he's from Chicago. If it's Chicago to
Speaker 1: black Hawks, yeah, yeah, he doesn't like the black Hawks
Speaker 1: like he's a huge Stars fan. Yeah, mass Star's a
Speaker 1: trader man call him at Yeah, you're a black Hawks fan. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: from who has who has the best uniforms in the league?
Speaker 1: Black Hawks hun out of your mind. Yeah they're pretty sweet, yes, sweet,
Speaker 1: but they're not I mean, they're not like cracking. Oh.
Speaker 1: By the way, last night we were having a conversation
Speaker 1: while we were sitting there. I've so, I know it's
Speaker 1: all different because you've played in a playoff game. I
Speaker 1: think both of you have been to a playoff game.
Speaker 1: I know you have. I'm sure you have for the NFL.
Speaker 1: I'd never been to an NFL playoff game before. I'll
Speaker 1: be there on Sunday. Yeah, it's completely different because I've
Speaker 1: been to a hockey playoff game, Stars playoff game, and
Speaker 1: then I've been to the Rangers like baseball, and I've
Speaker 1: done a couple of other World Series ALCS stuff in
Speaker 1: the past too, and those are just completely different atmospheres. Yes, so,
Speaker 1: how much is it ramped up from an NFL standpoint? Well,
Speaker 1: Isaiah could answer that better than I could, for sure.
Speaker 1: But but I was listening to Babe Laffenberg, the Great
Speaker 1: Babelffenberg on the on the fan just now, and he
Speaker 1: was talking about how in the NBA playoffs you watch
Speaker 1: a game on TV. You know, it's a difference. There's
Speaker 1: just a difference in intensity and all of that. He
Speaker 1: said the NFL playoffs, he doesn't you don't think there's
Speaker 1: you don't really notice it as much, And I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I think especially in the stadium,
Speaker 1: there's a different, different vibe. I would imagine it's way
Speaker 1: more physical. So and Ceede Lamb was talking about this yesterday.
Speaker 1: You know, nobody's really talked to him about what to
Speaker 1: expect for his first playoff game. But the speed and
Speaker 1: the physicality have got to be different, right absolutely. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure what. I respect the heck out of base
Speaker 1: as well, but I don't know what he was talking
Speaker 1: about in reference to this. Playoff football is totally different
Speaker 1: than regular season football. Now, when you start talking about
Speaker 1: the difference, when you start looking at them, the magnitude
Speaker 1: or I guess that's the separation from a regular season
Speaker 1: game to a playoff game. I would definitely say that
Speaker 1: basketball probably has the most dramatic change because it seemingly
Speaker 1: during the regular basketball season, they just seemingly don't care much.
Speaker 1: That's a great point, and then when they go to
Speaker 1: the playoffs, it's like, Oh, we're playing for real play defense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in the NFL, guys are playing their tails off during
Speaker 1: the year and it just gets intensified in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So and so that's the angle he's taken. Then I
Speaker 1: can agree with them, But other than that, I'm not sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, playoff basketball obviously every possession matters as well,
Speaker 1: but I think it slows down a little bit for
Speaker 1: NBA basketball. Um, But from from my experience, I just
Speaker 1: see like seems like night and day, from the way
Speaker 1: that plays are executed, from the way that guys are running,
Speaker 1: the way the guys are hitting. There's that added incentive
Speaker 1: obviously because guys are playing for the Lombardi how much
Speaker 1: he might have meant TV. If you're watching on TV,
Speaker 1: I think that's what he meant, you don't really notice
Speaker 1: a huge difference. But I think on the field, and
Speaker 1: he's been there too, there's definitely a difference. Well, and
Speaker 1: on the sideline the fans are going to certainly play
Speaker 1: a massive impact into that as well. How much do
Speaker 1: the fans really play into the energy of the players
Speaker 1: when you're when you're in a playoff mode, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: when you're at home, it could be a huge advantage.
Speaker 1: So I think they're the word. There's a word of
Speaker 1: a whiteout. Yes, so uh, cowboys, fans show up and
Speaker 1: show out. It matters. You can make a big difference
Speaker 1: in this game. Guarantee you um offensively when when we're on,
Speaker 1: when the Dallas is on office quiet, right, when those
Speaker 1: guys get in the huddle, not when they break the huddle.
Speaker 1: When they get in the huddle, and the training to
Speaker 1: communicate on offensively for the forty nine ers get loud
Speaker 1: and getting nasty because you can feel energy, right. There's
Speaker 1: a difference between hearing and like music, right, white man
Speaker 1: can't jump. You're you're you're you're hearing Jimmy, You're not listening,
Speaker 1: you know what I say. So there's a difference between
Speaker 1: hearing something and Jimmy. There's a hearing it and feeling it.
Speaker 1: You feel music when you have bass in there, right.
Speaker 1: You don't feel music when you just have trouble. So
Speaker 1: I need we need all the bass you have at
Speaker 1: a TNC stadium. And that's while they're in the huddle, right,
Speaker 1: that's where you do the most distrimition. Yeah, it's not
Speaker 1: while they go up to the I mean a lot
Speaker 1: of scrimmage is effective as well, but people don't understand
Speaker 1: that you're majority of the information is getting conveyed in
Speaker 1: the huddle. Now once you break the huddle, now they're
Speaker 1: making alterations. They're making changes, right, So that's still important
Speaker 1: to be loud at that time. But when you really
Speaker 1: want to disrupt some things, and I'm trying to I'm
Speaker 1: trying to talk to you guys in a tight knit circle,
Speaker 1: be as loud as you can and play a game
Speaker 1: of telephone. Let you miss something, Let you let you
Speaker 1: miss something in the uddle, and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you're going out thinking one playing you're going out thinking another.
Speaker 1: That's that's could be some problems and some of the
Speaker 1: greatest stadiums, and I'm just thinking about the Seattle twelfth
Speaker 1: Man like the way that they are when anytime Seattle
Speaker 1: back in the day, when Seattle had the home field advantage,
Speaker 1: you just did not want to see Attle because you
Speaker 1: know that noise was going to be a problem and
Speaker 1: there's no way to prepare for that kind of stadium noise.
Speaker 1: And that's I think that's the advantage that Cowboy fans
Speaker 1: have been wanting for this team for years. Man to
Speaker 1: be able to tell other teams that you're going to
Speaker 1: get a route of wakening when you come to AT
Speaker 1: and T Stadium. So that's why this whiteout is so important.
Speaker 1: That's why you know what you just said, man being rollity,
Speaker 1: being loud and hell just knowing that when they're in
Speaker 1: the huddle, it's your time to disrupt their You know
Speaker 1: that they're hearing. How many players do we hear talk
Speaker 1: about during the COVID You know, obviously the first COVID
Speaker 1: year when guys when fans couldn't come to the games,
Speaker 1: they're talking about the difference between playing games with no
Speaker 1: fans there. First, playing games feels like a scrimmage. It
Speaker 1: feels like a scrimmage versus a real game. So when
Speaker 1: you talk about my ability now to make more plays,
Speaker 1: my ability to run faster, to be more explosive, to
Speaker 1: be stronger, was the last time you see somebody max
Speaker 1: out in the weight room in college and the whole
Speaker 1: team wasn't around you. You just like you're powered up.
Speaker 1: Now you're powered up, so fans understand the role that
Speaker 1: you play. Get some rest the night before, don't be
Speaker 1: kicking it the night before hard rest, Get some rest.
Speaker 1: Hey come to the Miller light. You know, whatever where
Speaker 1: we're gonna be at on the pregame show, get your
Speaker 1: Miller lights and go ahead, and you know, continuity. We'll
Speaker 1: say it a thousand times, So y'all can go ahead
Speaker 1: and be nice and lathered up, come up in that
Speaker 1: place and keep it rocking, because I guarantee the louder
Speaker 1: you are, the better your Cowboys will play. And there's
Speaker 1: probably what fifty thousand people that watched or we'll get
Speaker 1: fifty thousand views on this episode or something like that,
Speaker 1: throwing the numbers out there, but that means that there's
Speaker 1: probably a good chance there are a good chunk of
Speaker 1: talking Cowboys fans that are going to be in at
Speaker 1: and T Stadium that day. So you tell your friends, Yeah,
Speaker 1: get your section involved, Ye, get every body involved. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Spread the news. This is a team effort,
Speaker 1: not only from the guys that are across the building
Speaker 1: from us right now, but from all of those that
Speaker 1: are going to show up at and T Stadium on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You should have to opt out of your webinar the
Speaker 1: next day. We need to get one of those like excuse,
Speaker 1: turn your video camera off. But the boys then I
Speaker 1: may have to opt out on Monday exactly. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna come in here and heck of us just
Speaker 1: gonna be sitting. We're gonna have Morse Cold set up
Speaker 1: for Heckmo. Okay, so audio Morse Cold people out there
Speaker 1: in the air. Hit them off. Greg. Oh man, It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a ton of fun. I'm so excited. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy that that we all get to be there
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have some fun with it on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So gonna be a blast. And like I said on
Speaker 1: the show yesterday, if you are out there, come say hi. Well,
Speaker 1: we'd love to interact and have some fun with you guys.
Speaker 1: And we got some swag that we're gonna hand out
Speaker 1: throughout as well. So we've got some stuff that we're
Speaker 1: gonna have out there too, all right, Rob news In notes,
Speaker 1: We're a little later on that today. But the Cowboys
Speaker 1: were back on the practice field yesterday. Yes they were,
Speaker 1: and they were outside at least for the early portion,
Speaker 1: and they went inside for teams stuff. Nishan Wright did
Speaker 1: not practice for personal reasons, had a personal matter to
Speaker 1: attend to, and that was the only active roster player
Speaker 1: who did not practice yesterday. Tyrant Smith got back on
Speaker 1: the field, he was limited, Tony Pollard had full participation.
Speaker 1: Count O'Neil was limited, and the only player left I
Speaker 1: believe on the COVID list is Jeron Curse and they
Speaker 1: think maybe he could be back today. So we'll see
Speaker 1: about that. As far as the forty nine ers go,
Speaker 1: they got a lot of guys on their list. They
Speaker 1: rested some guys, including Nick Bosa yesterday. Trent Williams, with
Speaker 1: the elbow injury, did not practice. I think people generally
Speaker 1: think he'll be back in the lineup Sunday, but that's
Speaker 1: something a monitor, you know, can he how functional can
Speaker 1: he be with that elbow injury. So that's probably the
Speaker 1: biggest one up note for them. He's quite possibly We
Speaker 1: didn't get to talk about him or really George Kittle
Speaker 1: a whole lot yesterday, but Trent Williams is quite possibly
Speaker 1: the best left tackle in the league. I mean one
Speaker 1: of the high Yes, legitimately he is pound for pounds, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's probably the best one. You even see his presence
Speaker 1: in the game last week on the sideline. You can
Speaker 1: see his presence, Like some of you guys run off
Speaker 1: the field and you can see him like big brother
Speaker 1: and Cass like yeah, that's right, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 1: And you could just see it in his eyes like
Speaker 1: he wanted to be out there so bad, but he
Speaker 1: was just like, I'll be back. He's he's deeply head
Speaker 1: boys debo. So I'm looking forward to seeing him against
Speaker 1: not Deebo Samuel. He's he's not Deebo Samuel, and he's
Speaker 1: a real debo. He's the squeakybike Debo. That's him over
Speaker 1: there on the left side, protecting Garoppolo's backside. But I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing that matchup. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think we've seen that dominant left tackle this year. I
Speaker 1: mean they still had over five close to five hundred
Speaker 1: yards without him, so I mean, even what difference would
Speaker 1: he make? Um obviously a big one, tremendous for the
Speaker 1: offensive line. Um. And you know, we talked to him.
Speaker 1: I thought we talked about Kittle in his you know
Speaker 1: what he does. We're talking about it a little bit,
Speaker 1: but you you oh no, I went back and watched
Speaker 1: the Tate would you think, yes, sir, yeah, we need
Speaker 1: to go on other side of the build. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's not jump out of we'll talk about that in
Speaker 1: the break. Yeah, this is Teddy KGB. He's got a
Speaker 1: little little bit today, guys. Yeah, just saying let's not
Speaker 1: let him get there though. Yeah, let's not let him
Speaker 1: come moment. Oh man, yeah, I love it. Cut you off.
Speaker 1: Chris wants a dub uh kind of going back to
Speaker 1: the practice modes and what we were talking about. So
Speaker 1: this is going to be probably the last real practice
Speaker 1: that they'll have heading into the matchup. So you want
Speaker 1: Jabren Curse out there. If he's not out there today,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about whether he is or not tomorrow,
Speaker 1: but if he's not out there today, is that an
Speaker 1: indication on what he's going to bring to the table.
Speaker 1: Not necessarily. I mean Mike was asked yesterday because he
Speaker 1: was dealing with a hammy previously, and I think he
Speaker 1: was asked, is it more of the COVID stuff? And
Speaker 1: he said yeah, So I think you know they're confident
Speaker 1: he can clear that. And then then it's a conditioning matter.
Speaker 1: How's how's this conditioning? You know? Mica Parsons came back
Speaker 1: yesterday said he feels great, doesn't have any conditioning issues.
Speaker 1: Apparent he had some cold symptoms kind of like everybody
Speaker 1: feels like this time of year, you get some sniffles,
Speaker 1: you think of what is this allergy? Is cold? That's
Speaker 1: what he was dealing with. But he's back, he feels good,
Speaker 1: and he says the line can't be bullied. Oh so yeah, No,
Speaker 1: what's going on with Neil again? He's listed with a
Speaker 1: chest elbow injury. Remember he was all taped up in
Speaker 1: the game against Philly and fought through it then they
Speaker 1: took him out. That's significant. But please go back to
Speaker 1: the comment man him being from from West was it
Speaker 1: from Pa? And he says, where I'm from, the bullies
Speaker 1: get bullied. There's a bully in every gym. I love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love it. Everything that Mica says it is just
Speaker 1: exactly what everybody wants to hear. But the thing is
Speaker 1: is you hope that continues and the play continues, because
Speaker 1: if he's saying that same kind of thing and then
Speaker 1: the play drops off, then it's kind of he's a
Speaker 1: fresh Michael Parson. That's what we need him, That's what
Speaker 1: we needed and we got it. That's what he said.
Speaker 1: He said, I feel like I'm coming off the bye week.
Speaker 1: After he came off the bye week he was balled
Speaker 1: out after the heck was said it earlier in the week,
Speaker 1: you were like, well, now that he's got a week
Speaker 1: of rest and you're going up against San Francisco, you
Speaker 1: think San Francisco is excited about seeing no I mean,
Speaker 1: like I said, Man Shanahan has been staying up some
Speaker 1: nights just trying to figure out where dan Quinn is
Speaker 1: going to place number eleven. And you know, I think
Speaker 1: his off him being off the ball is going to
Speaker 1: he's going to wreck shop in that running game. I mean,
Speaker 1: and so many people think that they can just run
Speaker 1: right at him. I hadn't seen any evidence that he
Speaker 1: can't take on the run. Is that a thing that
Speaker 1: is a thing that he's that he's considered like he's
Speaker 1: considered to be light? You know, are you talking about
Speaker 1: like he wears number eleven, but he plays like a
Speaker 1: guy number who wore number nine and the guy I'm
Speaker 1: talking about his water boy? Okay, nine guy plays like
Speaker 1: the water boy. And you're talking about a guy who
Speaker 1: who hates to come out the game on series. Now,
Speaker 1: you you forced him to sit out for an entire
Speaker 1: week for a game that he was healthy enough to play. Oh,
Speaker 1: he is had a chance to break some records. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. And I hope that somebody on the offhice
Speaker 1: the line says says something of the likes of water sucks.
Speaker 1: I hope somebody says something like that, because if they
Speaker 1: say that, he's gonna go him quality. I don't know
Speaker 1: where you get these. I'm just you remember how dominant
Speaker 1: the water Boy was. He was, that's gonna be Michael
Speaker 1: Park's gonna be dude. No, I'm trying to find this.
Speaker 1: When he came in here for his draft press conference
Speaker 1: the day after they picked him, he said like, I
Speaker 1: want to play like the Waterboys, seaball kitball or whatever,
Speaker 1: and that damn Shire has. Yeah. No, he definitely has
Speaker 1: one of the best rookie seasons on the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the football in years, all time. Honestly, the way
Speaker 1: that he played in the regular season. Now he's got
Speaker 1: a chance to compound that into the playoffs. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take our first break. When we come back, it
Speaker 1: is time to preview the Cowboys offense versus the San
Speaker 1: Francisco defense. Nick Bolsa and company come to town. But
Speaker 1: can the Cowboys take advantage of the secondary When we
Speaker 1: come back with more talking cowboys. There's nothing as unique

Speaker 1: Defense the offense Sam Francisco bringing Nick Bosa in company
Speaker 1: into town. But just how formidable is the San Francisco defense.
Speaker 1: You saw them kind of limit Matthew Stafford down the
Speaker 1: stretch in Week eighteen. They've done that to a couple
Speaker 1: good teams throughout the year. But heckm I'll start with
Speaker 1: you on this one. What is the scariest part of
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers defense? And what is the week spot? Well,
Speaker 1: the scariest part of their defense is definitely upfront. They
Speaker 1: have a guy by the name of Nicholas Bosa that
Speaker 1: is probably keeping Kelly Moore up right now as well.
Speaker 1: They're they're strong upfront, Eric Armstead, they have so much
Speaker 1: DJ Jones, Quintavius Street, these are just big bodies that
Speaker 1: they have upfront. Fred Warner, they're linebacker. He's a hitting
Speaker 1: machine and he's like some of the linebackers that you've
Speaker 1: seen all year. The guy's good run stuffer, really athletic
Speaker 1: on the outside Green Law guys like that Tart. They're
Speaker 1: just hard, hitting, athletic and you can tell that they
Speaker 1: believe in these guys the way that they set them
Speaker 1: up in scheme up front. But the weakest part of
Speaker 1: their defense is the back half. They have a rookie,
Speaker 1: uh free rookie cornerback that I believe that you're going
Speaker 1: to be able to take advantage of. And I believe
Speaker 1: this Emmanuel Mostly is the rookie from Michigan. They do
Speaker 1: have Josh Norman, but it looks as though Josh Norman
Speaker 1: hadn't been getting any action, so I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on with Josh. They didn't play last week. But
Speaker 1: he's healthy. He's healthy. But they're going away from him
Speaker 1: and look for me and just evaluating these guys and
Speaker 1: going back to that Rams game which I looked at Isaiah,
Speaker 1: I just think that Kelly Moore had even though you
Speaker 1: see where their weaknesses are, Kelly Moore has to try
Speaker 1: his damnness to stay balanced in this game. No matter
Speaker 1: what it's you're still going to have to rely on
Speaker 1: this running game at some point. I know that the
Speaker 1: temptation to air them out, as we've been talking about,
Speaker 1: is going to be there, but the balance is going
Speaker 1: to have to be there as well. But again, it's
Speaker 1: their front, the front seven. It's very stout and athletic,
Speaker 1: and look, they're going to pose a lot of problems
Speaker 1: for us up front. I agree, I agree. I think
Speaker 1: obviously with Nick Bosa, he's obviously the goon on that
Speaker 1: side of the ball, but also the person that stands
Speaker 1: to out. And I don't know if I'm pronouncing their
Speaker 1: name carreer because Eric is just a er. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, It wasn't sure. With ian Ah Eric Armstead,
Speaker 1: he stands out to me. He seems like the go
Speaker 1: juice on that defensive line. Now, Nick Bosa gets a
Speaker 1: lot of the attention because he gets the big plays
Speaker 1: and big sacks, but the disruptor on that defensive line
Speaker 1: is Armstead. And he gets in there, he is, and
Speaker 1: it cames kind of a problem because he's gonna be
Speaker 1: on that left side, and that left side we know
Speaker 1: has been exposed. In terms of Connor Williams and in
Speaker 1: terms of Tyler Biadas, those are two youngest offensive linements,
Speaker 1: the most the least experienced offensive linement. I don't think
Speaker 1: either one of them has I know neither one of
Speaker 1: them has had a playoff game. So those are the
Speaker 1: guys that yet you have to be concerned about in
Speaker 1: terms of this defensive line. I'm not too concerned about
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa or Yeah, nick Bosa, I'm not too concerned
Speaker 1: about him messing up on the Bosis a lot of
Speaker 1: them out there. Yeah, but I'm not too concerned about him.
Speaker 1: I'm feel I feel fully confident that whatever side he
Speaker 1: wants to go to, he will be handled by an
Speaker 1: all pro left tackle or right tackle. I feel perfectly
Speaker 1: fine with that. But that Armstead, We've seen disruptors on
Speaker 1: the interior defensive line against this Dallas Cowboys officsive line.
Speaker 1: Connor Williams kind of got back to some of his
Speaker 1: ways last week in terms of some holding, and I'm
Speaker 1: just worried about that portion of the officeive line and
Speaker 1: him disrupting things internally as we try to get a
Speaker 1: run game established. Yeah, I'm with you, guys. And another
Speaker 1: guy to arden Key, he's a guy defensive end part
Speaker 1: of their rotation. They'll rush him inside and so that's
Speaker 1: a matchup the interior of the Cowboys offensive line. We've
Speaker 1: talked about it against certain matchups the Rams Bucks, they
Speaker 1: could you know, be issues in terms of pass rush
Speaker 1: and I think the forty nine ers qualify there too.
Speaker 1: So yes, they're front seven. In the back end, they're
Speaker 1: getting some guys back. Kauan Williams should be back from
Speaker 1: from the reserve COVID list. They got mostly back last week,
Speaker 1: so they're getting a little healthier back there. But it
Speaker 1: is it does come down to there are options for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys on the outside and the receiving game. Is
Speaker 1: Dak going to be comfortable enough to do that? I mean,
Speaker 1: every game is different, but the forty nine Ers had
Speaker 1: twenty eight pass pressures in that game against the Rams,
Speaker 1: and they held the Rams running backs to one point
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry in that game last Sunday. So
Speaker 1: the heck's point, what's how they can they? Can they
Speaker 1: get it established? Will they stick with it? Could it
Speaker 1: be a week one situation where Kellen says, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to bang my head against the wall. I don't
Speaker 1: think you can do that. I think he got to
Speaker 1: try to establish something. Like Isaiah said, you don't want
Speaker 1: you don't want Dak having to throw forty fifty times
Speaker 1: a game. And Thomas is the rookie from Michigan not
Speaker 1: mostly yeah, yeah, yeah. The thing that they did really
Speaker 1: well against the Rams last week and the Rams just
Speaker 1: kept beating their head against the wall, San Francisco decided
Speaker 1: to play play man. They decided to play man, and
Speaker 1: they played a soft man, which means that the being
Speaker 1: that they were playing five six yards off a louding
Speaker 1: the guys to run down the field before anybody got
Speaker 1: in their hands on them. And one thing that they're doing,
Speaker 1: we're talking about this in film room. Film room, you
Speaker 1: guys be able to check that out. But their interior
Speaker 1: defensive alignment pinched, they pinched, and when those two defensive
Speaker 1: alignment pinched on the interior, it consumed three offensive alignment.
Speaker 1: So you take your two, they're two defensive tackles. They
Speaker 1: literally just crunched them down and they shoot the gaps.
Speaker 1: They shoot the eight gaps, which now binds the center
Speaker 1: and both guards. Well, if the center in both guards
Speaker 1: are now blocking two guys, you have islands on the outside.
Speaker 1: What your defensive ends in your tackles, right, and now
Speaker 1: you're now you're putting botha in a position where he
Speaker 1: can win. Right. If if Bosa wins three times out
Speaker 1: the game, that's a disruption, that's huge disruption. If heat
Speaker 1: beats one of the tackles, right, he gets a sack
Speaker 1: or two in a game, that's major. Right, So that's
Speaker 1: what they're did on third down, and instead of just
Speaker 1: taking the short slants, the quick you know screenplays on
Speaker 1: the outside, the LA kept trying to push the ball
Speaker 1: down the field, push the ball down the field. And
Speaker 1: these guys were playing soft. So all they were doing
Speaker 1: sitting back on their back leg, letting the defensive ends
Speaker 1: go ahead and work on the defense on the offensive tackles.
Speaker 1: And then they either got pressure or he held the
Speaker 1: ball so long that they finally got to him, or
Speaker 1: he was throwing you know, throwing bad balls down the
Speaker 1: field where he really didn't have the opportunity to have
Speaker 1: open guys, So you have to take it. If they
Speaker 1: want to play soft defense, get get our guys the
Speaker 1: ball early, Kellemore, don't try to force this thing down
Speaker 1: the field. Take the five yard hitch, take the slant,
Speaker 1: take the one step slant, take the screenplays, and let
Speaker 1: your guys get some yak yardage. Because if you played
Speaker 1: their game, if you play into their hand where it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're still going to throw this ball down the field
Speaker 1: because our guys are better than your guys, they will.
Speaker 1: They will bait you. Yeah, It's like it's like the
Speaker 1: dog on dollar bill on the string on some tape.
Speaker 1: They'll bait you. Now you keep chasing that thing, they'll
Speaker 1: they'll finally get you. And they did that better as
Speaker 1: the season went along as well, kind of like how
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did. They had that big stretch right in
Speaker 1: the middle where they were forcing all the turnovers, the takeaways,
Speaker 1: the sacks, the pressure was all there. That was the
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers defense from weeks ten through eighteen. Because
Speaker 1: weeks one through nine they were giving up twenty five
Speaker 1: points per game. They were three and five overall. Right
Speaker 1: the final nine weeks of the season, they were seven
Speaker 1: and two, giving up eighteen points per game, and they
Speaker 1: were top five in scoring, sacks, and takeaways in those weeks.
Speaker 1: In the NFL, their defensive line might be the strength
Speaker 1: of their entire team. Yeah, I mean, I mean the
Speaker 1: running game obviously, but it's been the key to their turnaround.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of in a way, it's kind of
Speaker 1: the same with the Cowboys. I mean, the Cowboys front
Speaker 1: pressure makes you feel like they can disrupt any quarterback
Speaker 1: they play in these playoffs, and the defense's best friend
Speaker 1: is a great running back. And the emergence of Deebo
Speaker 1: Samuels is what really helped him out and kept them
Speaker 1: fresh because of the time of possession. I think when
Speaker 1: I think about Dack in this game, all I'm saying
Speaker 1: to him is take us there. If it opens up
Speaker 1: for you to run it, instead of taking that thirty
Speaker 1: yards shot, take that five yards, get that first down
Speaker 1: and come back and get it down to wait. You'll
Speaker 1: you'll get a fresh set of down to get an
Speaker 1: opportunity to do it again. And that's why I say,
Speaker 1: you know, when Kelly Moore being in his bag, things
Speaker 1: like that, just you don't have to bring the biggest bag.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to, you know, don't eat
Speaker 1: your best stuff. Yeah I have your best stuff, but
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like the gadget stuff, all the craziness, let's
Speaker 1: let's to bring his carry on instead of his you know,
Speaker 1: ugage to your point, like Dak has talked about how
Speaker 1: like sometimes I'm greedy, you know, and they're so confident
Speaker 1: in their weapons that they will try to push down
Speaker 1: the field and it gets frustrating, Like we'll see what
Speaker 1: how they play them. But some of that soft stuff
Speaker 1: they get tired of that, they get tired of checking
Speaker 1: it down to shouts, y'all. That takes patience, right, And
Speaker 1: that's and that's when we start talking about that intelligence,
Speaker 1: right that that that that football IQ and understanding. We've
Speaker 1: we've sat here on this show many times to say,
Speaker 1: this team is willing to be patient. The team that
Speaker 1: disappointed that we're facing is willing to disappointed that we're
Speaker 1: about to face right now, is willing to run the
Speaker 1: ball to a fault. They will come out. They have
Speaker 1: no problems running fifteen plays on the drive. They are
Speaker 1: not tripping. They don't give a dog on some team
Speaker 1: can't do that some teams do. Let's go and call it.
Speaker 1: Kella Moore. Keller Moore doesn't like to do that. He
Speaker 1: doesn't like to come out and run the ball. Run
Speaker 1: the ball, run the ball. Oh you guys want to
Speaker 1: load up the box. Now I throw the ball. Now
Speaker 1: throw the ball. Kelly Moore is like, run the ball. Okay,
Speaker 1: I check that off. Crap. I want to throw. I
Speaker 1: want to throw. He has to fight that that that
Speaker 1: is something that he has to fight. Is that panic?
Speaker 1: I don't think it's panic. I think it's comfort. I
Speaker 1: think it's comfort. There's there are coaches that come that
Speaker 1: are cut from a cloth. Shanahan were listening up. I
Speaker 1: was taught to run the ball. What I grew up
Speaker 1: around my dog and my pops ran the ball and
Speaker 1: he threw the ball off of his off off his run. Right,
Speaker 1: Kella Moore didn't grow up in at where to kellamr
Speaker 1: grub boys stay? What did they do? Throw that? So
Speaker 1: you have tennessees, all right, we have tennessees and things
Speaker 1: that you lean on. That's your comfort, that's what you're
Speaker 1: gonna go to and that it's no different than a
Speaker 1: basketball player. Right. I'm I guess what shack Shaw. I
Speaker 1: can't about to step out, step out and shoot a
Speaker 1: jump shot shot going back you down? Why can that
Speaker 1: his comfort zone. One of the biggest mismatches I think
Speaker 1: for us in this game are going to be our
Speaker 1: line are going to be our tight ends. I think
Speaker 1: their aggressiveness, the way that that the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: play it leads them susceptible in the middle of the
Speaker 1: field and on the outside. And you saw that with
Speaker 1: the rams they took full advantage of that. The other
Speaker 1: thing is going to be Tony Pollard. Tony Pollard is
Speaker 1: going to play a big part of this game. In
Speaker 1: the passing game. Getting to the outside is fine, you know,
Speaker 1: using his speed is well and good, But on those
Speaker 1: those those screen patterns are just when he scrapes through
Speaker 1: the middle and underneath. That's gonna be big for Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard because of the way that they're lining up. He's
Speaker 1: gonna catch the ball and he's got plenty of room
Speaker 1: to create himself. So there's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 1: opportunities for him in the short passing game. And I
Speaker 1: say in the short end, zeke two in terms of
Speaker 1: checking your protection, because they don't blitz a lot check,
Speaker 1: check your protection, and sit right over the ball, or
Speaker 1: sit just outside the tackles right in that in that box.
Speaker 1: Whenever you see those those running backs come up, they
Speaker 1: check their protection. They don't have anybody to block. Boom.
Speaker 1: Now I'm turning around that right there, Dak, please take it.
Speaker 1: Take it. Let your guys get the yack yardist. That
Speaker 1: will be as much of an impact in this game
Speaker 1: as it would be if you were to throw the
Speaker 1: ball forty yards down the field to cd M. I
Speaker 1: love it. I love this matchup more than even the
Speaker 1: other side of the football. I think the other side
Speaker 1: of the football defense versus their offense. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a ton of fun. But it goes back to what
Speaker 1: Heckman said yesterday. This is where the rubber meets the road.
Speaker 1: And I can't wait for those two to go after it.
Speaker 1: Because Nick Bosa, I mean, he had a career year.
Speaker 1: His stats and his sacks may not be the same
Speaker 1: tackles for wagers TfL's. That was a staff from Babe
Speaker 1: this morning on the fan. He's right there, he's above
Speaker 1: Mica and tackles for I think him and t J.
Speaker 1: Watt are right there. And that's saying something, and that's
Speaker 1: saying a lot. And even going back if you go
Speaker 1: over the games that we've played before, and in talking
Speaker 1: about nick Boat with Judon, you know you've come against this,
Speaker 1: this style of a guy that can pressure you, that
Speaker 1: moves around that. Matt Judon stands up, does some other
Speaker 1: things as well. He's very flexible in the hybrid. But
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa is a threat. And I do agree with you.
Speaker 1: I don't worry about him as much on the outside
Speaker 1: with our guys, but man, you hit the nail right
Speaker 1: on the head. If we do not get hands on
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead, he can be a disruptor. And this they
Speaker 1: can all be disruptors. And it's the same thing whenever
Speaker 1: the Cowboys go up to the scrimmage on the defensive line,
Speaker 1: but they have the play dudes all the way across strings.
Speaker 1: That's why it's the playoffs, all right. When we come back,
Speaker 1: how much pressure is on Amarty, Cooper and CD Lamb
Speaker 1: to present that deep game against the secondary that looks
Speaker 1: a little susceptible When we come back with more talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: I want to use what the pros use. How about

Speaker 1: hiccup on the way up there. Hiccuped a couple of times. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So our friends over at Tostitos in Lace they have
Speaker 1: gone nowhere where no chip has gone before. They have
Speaker 1: created Golden grounds. They are potato chips and a select
Speaker 1: number of bags, two hundred to be exact, where they
Speaker 1: have taken the soil from whatever practice facility or game
Speaker 1: field of each NFL team and they have grown their
Speaker 1: potato chips out of the soil, so they've called them
Speaker 1: golden grounds. We have one of those two hundred bags.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We're going to open it
Speaker 1: up tomorrow on the show going right. Yeah, they're giving
Speaker 1: away five bags to fans and we'll tell everybody how
Speaker 1: they can be a part of that. But yeah, what
Speaker 1: what are you looking at me for? Heck, they're golden grounds,
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah, No, it's great. We're gonna get there
Speaker 1: have a chance to show Golden Grounds. To win one
Speaker 1: of the exclusive bags, all you need to do is
Speaker 1: follow at Lays on Twitter, use the hashtag hashtag Lays
Speaker 1: Golden Grounds. Hashtag Dallas Cowboys and hashtag Sweepsteaks in your
Speaker 1: entries on Twitter for a chance to win one of
Speaker 1: those prestigious but boligible Can I can? I sure? OK?
Speaker 1: So the question that I have, Um, you were saying
Speaker 1: that they're they're making what now potato chips? No, no, yes,
Speaker 1: it's lays. So that's what they do, but it's out
Speaker 1: of so basically they take the dirt from the soil
Speaker 1: of like stadiums or practice facilities. Obviously they can't take
Speaker 1: the dirt from AT and T Stadium because that's artificial, artificial,
Speaker 1: and some stadiums are so take that dirt, they grind
Speaker 1: it all up, put it in a field, and they
Speaker 1: grow potato chips out of that dirt. Ah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what they does. That make sense. Yes, the potatoes and
Speaker 1: not the potatoes, potatoes and that dirt. Oh yeah no, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's a real potato chip. It's a laces potato chip.
Speaker 1: But then it's it's just grown from the dirt. These
Speaker 1: two hundred bags have been grown from the dort dirt
Speaker 1: that we're out on the practice field. The dak Prescott
Speaker 1: as Quel Elliott run around on and stuff like, that's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jason witno, I said the secrets in the dirt something
Speaker 1: I like that. So we're eating these potatoe chips, so
Speaker 1: there's a cleat in there. I'm sorry. Yep, yep, that
Speaker 1: fleet Yeah, I know. I doubt that's the case. But
Speaker 1: I've got one of these prestigious bags. My hiccup that
Speaker 1: I had is because it's so prestigious, I locked it
Speaker 1: in my desk, and when I ran up there to
Speaker 1: go grab it, my keys are sitting right here, so
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to grab it. So I
Speaker 1: grabbed I grabbed the reed instead. But yeah, so you
Speaker 1: actually have bag. Yeah that Oh. I was gonna bring
Speaker 1: it down and show you back, and we're gonna open
Speaker 1: the bag on the show tomorrow. And it could be
Speaker 1: the chips that were grown from the dirt from outside. No,
Speaker 1: it is the run on the outside first Dallas Golden Nuggets.
Speaker 1: I love it. But yeah, we're gonna have some fun
Speaker 1: with that tomorrow. Final segment here of talking cowboys, We've
Speaker 1: got heck Ma Harrison, Rob Phillips, Isaiah stand back, Chris Beam,
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yelman's all right, Rob Phillips, how much pressure
Speaker 1: is on Ceedee Lamb and Amari Cooper to present as
Speaker 1: those number one wide receivers that they are on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I think they're I think there's always pressure, but I
Speaker 1: think they they've got to hit some chunk plays in
Speaker 1: this game. I don't think you want to just have
Speaker 1: to drive the length of the field like they've been doing.
Speaker 1: And we'll see how they play him, you know, if
Speaker 1: is it going to be that soft coverage or if
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to play him a little tighter. But
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you guys, because I was off
Speaker 1: last week and there's been this I don't know how
Speaker 1: much y'all discussed Maari Cooper last week in terms of
Speaker 1: why isn't he getting the ball more? What's the reason
Speaker 1: for it? Okay, I mean, is he is it? Has
Speaker 1: he been bracketed as much as people think? Because he
Speaker 1: says it's not so much that do they need to
Speaker 1: make more of an effort at the start of games
Speaker 1: to get him involved and just the Cooper cop force
Speaker 1: feed him whatever they gotta do. Bang, Okay, that's what
Speaker 1: I thought. I just want to double check. I couldn't
Speaker 1: check in all last week. So Amari Cooperer is being
Speaker 1: a great professional by not throwing his coach under the bus.
Speaker 1: The things that I'm sure are crossing his mind. He
Speaker 1: is obviously holding back from saying because out of you know,
Speaker 1: he's frustrated, and his frustration actually boiled over. At one
Speaker 1: point a couple weeks ago, his frustration boiled over. He
Speaker 1: actually came out in public. He said that, you know,
Speaker 1: he pretty much can't be who he is if he
Speaker 1: doesn't get the ball. And he going to control one
Speaker 1: aspect of that. When a ball comes his way, he
Speaker 1: catches it and he tries to make plays with him.
Speaker 1: I can't throw it to myself. Kell the Moore, and
Speaker 1: we we drug kell the Moore last week. We called
Speaker 1: him out and told him to go and find his
Speaker 1: another bag and fill it up and not ziplock, I
Speaker 1: mean a real back and he needs to force feed it. Yes,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup style. Cooper Cup is valuable to the Rams
Speaker 1: as Cooper is valuable to the Cowboys. So why would
Speaker 1: you not ensure that your guy gets the ball Because
Speaker 1: it doesn't just benefit him, it benefits your entire team.
Speaker 1: So if you're especially like Dallas Cowboys, even though they're
Speaker 1: up there in terms of running stats. We know what
Speaker 1: they're capable of running the ball. They haven't been up
Speaker 1: to that to that level our expectations, nor I'm assuming
Speaker 1: their expectations. So why wouldn't you utilize your guy who
Speaker 1: has ability to run past almost everybody on the field
Speaker 1: to get him the ball in his hands near the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage when you play face at forty nine ers,
Speaker 1: I hardly highly doubt that they're gonna come up and press.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try to take the same approach
Speaker 1: of Ben, but don't break because we know that that's
Speaker 1: gonna try to throw the ball. Kelly Moore is gonna
Speaker 1: put Dack in a position to throw the ball down
Speaker 1: the field, So let's play soft. They're not getting They're
Speaker 1: not getting their guys the ball. I don't know why
Speaker 1: these guys can make plays of the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: but they're just not doing it. So I think they
Speaker 1: need to find a way to get him the ball
Speaker 1: as they did a couple of weeks back. And then
Speaker 1: when those guys decide to come up and press, please press,
Speaker 1: please press, Please. We welcome that. Ceedee Lamb welcomes that.
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper welcomes that Cedril Wilson welcomes that, Blake Jarwin
Speaker 1: all those guys, please compress those guys. So you have
Speaker 1: to force a team to respect you in that regard. Though.
Speaker 1: Now I love where you just went over and just
Speaker 1: saying that the in fighting that he's avoided and the
Speaker 1: men that have been less of receivers that have done
Speaker 1: more by not getting the ball. I just think that
Speaker 1: and I have it here, get get him are involved early.
Speaker 1: It's it's important that we do that. And I think
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is one of those examples of where do
Speaker 1: you position this guy. I don't put him Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: out on the outside. I put him in the slot.
Speaker 1: I allow him to go versus their weakest guy, or
Speaker 1: at least have the advantage of exposing the middle of
Speaker 1: the fields. And that's where I think a lot we've
Speaker 1: gone away from that with Amari Cooper, who set him
Speaker 1: out on the outside. And now I believe if Kella
Speaker 1: Moore is gonna go in his bag any it's going
Speaker 1: to be moving Amari Cooper around. We hadn't seen him
Speaker 1: do that much at all. And the same as to
Speaker 1: be for Cede Lamb and where do you position him?
Speaker 1: Where do you put him give him the advantage, especially
Speaker 1: with how weak they are on the outside. I just
Speaker 1: think it comes down to, and I'll say it again,
Speaker 1: the balance of this offense. That what we haven't been
Speaker 1: when we talk about those instances where Amari hadn't gotten
Speaker 1: the ball, we weren't balanced. There was no continuity at all.
Speaker 1: So therefore the you know, the rhythm of the offense
Speaker 1: was off. The now fired Vic Vangio came up with
Speaker 1: the blueprint for how you beat Dak. And there's so
Speaker 1: many defenses willing to live and die with trying to
Speaker 1: I guess sugarcoat or or say that they're in one
Speaker 1: thing at the line of scrimmage and didn't bail right.
Speaker 1: That's a big ask for a defense that's already struggling
Speaker 1: on the back end. Now you know, Buddha Baker them
Speaker 1: could do that. There are other teams that are willing
Speaker 1: to do that. But you have better be skilled as
Speaker 1: hack on the backside to do that too, because basically
Speaker 1: what you're doing is you're taking yourself out of position
Speaker 1: to show something different. And I think this is a
Speaker 1: defense that can't afford to try and fool Dak. But
Speaker 1: when you talk about Ceedee Lamb and Amari Cooper there,
Speaker 1: I mean, and Cedric and Cedric Wilson. I think this
Speaker 1: offense the defense of the forty nine ers. You could
Speaker 1: take advantage of them in the middle of the field
Speaker 1: and those those one offs with those finding the guy
Speaker 1: in the mismatches what you're going to be challenging dak
Speaker 1: to do. Dare I say this, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to get people any PTSD say this? Reminds me this
Speaker 1: scenario is starting to look very um never mind, don't
Speaker 1: say it. Yeah, very familiar to when I was here
Speaker 1: and with Dallas and Terrell. Oh my god, I was
Speaker 1: thinking the same thing. Was not getting the ball. He
Speaker 1: was being put in a position where he's always on
Speaker 1: the outside. I was in those meetings. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to disclose what was being said or the all and
Speaker 1: it's okay. He would tell us in locker room, Yeah,
Speaker 1: move me around. Why don't you put me in the slot?
Speaker 1: Try to get me off the bracketed coverage. You know
Speaker 1: they were Jason Garrett was calling the same four or
Speaker 1: five routes for him on the outside, and if you
Speaker 1: went rolled to a certain coverage, you now eliminate his
Speaker 1: opportunity to get the ball. That's what I feel. It's
Speaker 1: starting to happen with a Mariy Cooper, and you're starting
Speaker 1: to see somebody who was very quiet start to not
Speaker 1: be so quiet because he's so freaking frustrated from being
Speaker 1: put in this little freaking bubble when he could be
Speaker 1: out there in the whole world. But how big of
Speaker 1: an advantage is that going to be if you come
Speaker 1: into this game and nineteen is moving huge? Huge? But
Speaker 1: but who's the pressure on? It's not on it's not
Speaker 1: on It's not on Mary Cooper. Who's it on? Coaching
Speaker 1: staff Kelly Moore? Yea. And by the way, he said
Speaker 1: it as diplomatically as he could, he said, look, I
Speaker 1: know how great this team could be. I just want
Speaker 1: to help more. I want to I want to be
Speaker 1: there on third down and red zone. I think I
Speaker 1: can help. That's the way he put it, And he's right,
Speaker 1: a professional, Yeah, he's right. And it kind of goes
Speaker 1: back to what you were saying real quickly before we
Speaker 1: wrap things up. You wanted, or you said yesterday that
Speaker 1: you thought the Cowboys were going to air it out?
Speaker 1: Does Maary Cooper? Does that start with him? Absolutely? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: You gotta get all of your playmakers involved. And that's
Speaker 1: why I think that balance part of it is going
Speaker 1: to be important because once if this in turns out
Speaker 1: to be a track meet, right and Dak is backing
Speaker 1: up and there's no h they're not respecting your bootlegs
Speaker 1: or anything like that, and then they're just pinning. There
Speaker 1: is back and coming after Dak. And that's how you
Speaker 1: keep them honest with staying balance. I know we have
Speaker 1: to get off the air. I want to ask this
Speaker 1: question all you guys and Cowboys Nation. Do you feel
Speaker 1: as if the Dallas Cowboys offense takes it Maria Cooper
Speaker 1: for granted, no, not intentionally. No, I'm just just straight
Speaker 1: up no. But I think I think schematically, and they
Speaker 1: did this with with Garrett Lenahan in the past, going back,
Speaker 1: we'll beat you in different ways and we'll take what
Speaker 1: the defense gives us. Instead of hey, we're gonna dictate
Speaker 1: to you. I think sometimes they can get more into
Speaker 1: that instead of instead of, hey, Amari's the best receiver
Speaker 1: on the team, Let's go feed him, feed him, beat
Speaker 1: and feed and feed him like Shack in the post
Speaker 1: skinning going, skin Going, So you would say no, I
Speaker 1: don't think so. On purpose. No, no, no, I don't.
Speaker 1: And there are teams. If you go look at Green Bay,
Speaker 1: I mean they forced feeding number seventeen because that's all
Speaker 1: they you know's a great point. And I've said here
Speaker 1: I think that Kellen he schemes plays, not players, and
Speaker 1: so if you have those that many weapons as he has,
Speaker 1: it's hard to say, I'm just gonna take this one
Speaker 1: component of our offense and we're gonna feature that, knowing
Speaker 1: that you have CD, knowing then that you had Michael
Speaker 1: Gallop as well, and also having Zeke as you're running back.
Speaker 1: Antony Poller, do you feel that same way about the Rams?
Speaker 1: Do I feel that same way? I think the Rams
Speaker 1: benefit just like New England did from the slot position
Speaker 1: all these years by having Cooper cups, so it's easier
Speaker 1: for them to be able to do that. And then
Speaker 1: obviously they lost guys at the beginning of the season,
Speaker 1: but then Odell Beckham comes in and that opens up
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson and but nobody person isn't the same as
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. They're they're not on the same playing sir. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't say that, but that's what I'm saying. I'm
Speaker 1: saying Cooper cup is elevated over their guys right now
Speaker 1: to a larger extent than Amari Cooper is elevated over
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb and when healthy Michael Gallop. That's just my
Speaker 1: that's my point. My counterpoint, I guess counterpoint Dage is
Speaker 1: that they have just as many weapons. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They also don't have a rams the ramps. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: have just as many weapons at the receiver position. And
Speaker 1: my fan us, Yeah, I'm talking about in terms of
Speaker 1: quality receivers Cooper Cup. I'm not saying that. I'm not
Speaker 1: putting them neck the day. We're not gonna have that discussion. Cooper,
Speaker 1: That's what I thought you were saying. No Cooper Cupping,
Speaker 1: a Marie Cooper, Cooper Cupping and Mariy Cooper pretty dug
Speaker 1: on good, you know I'm saying. I mean Odell Beckham,
Speaker 1: I would I would have. I think we all would
Speaker 1: agree that they're all pretty dang gone good. Right, So
Speaker 1: that's what I say. They don't. McVeigh doesn't have a
Speaker 1: problem still getting his guys the ball. Yeah, they don't
Speaker 1: have to share the wealth as much. I don't think
Speaker 1: to keep people happy because they don't have an Ezekiel
Speaker 1: Elliott in the backfield or a Tony Pollard in the backfield.
Speaker 1: They don't have those guys there as well. Cam Akers
Speaker 1: coming back certainly adds that has a potential, but they
Speaker 1: didn't have that throughout seventeen games. They don't have either.
Speaker 1: They got a handy, Yeah, they got twice in that game.
Speaker 1: All right, that does it for us here. On Thursday,
Speaker 1: Talky Cowboys were sent by Toe Thedos. We will be
Speaker 1: back tomorrow the first ever playoff at dish of say
Speaker 1: it with your chest Friday. Bring the heat, bring the fire,
