00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: sponsors sponsor. I believe Clarence just handed out a few

70
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: days over there. Yeah, so Clarence came over and said,

71
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a bet on this Arkansas Texas game.

72
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: And of course I said, you got the points, even

73
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: though I knew he wasn't gonna say because he always says,

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: that's your team, that's your team. So it's big on,

75
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: big big. I didn't I didn't need any points. I

76
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,680

77
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: big all of a sudden. Yeah yeah, maybe fifteen years ago. Okay,

78
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,679

00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: Before we really get into this, could we ride the

00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: audio here because he's already getting ready to cuss on

93
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: this show, but also talks so loud. He's loud like

94
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: I always hearing. It's like it's like it's just because

95
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: I think commercial that's Kevin Hart, just because that's what

96
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: I do, just because I heard Clarence listen, listen, man.

97
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: My teacher told me my voice carried. My favorite teath

98
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: told me you don't alloud. Your voice cares? My voice

99
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: care I'm sorry, Yeah, well it carries because it's loud,

100
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: and my professor at Ohio State said, you don't have

101
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: a problem projecting. Do you know he's loud too. That's

102
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: one of the first things he said to me. All right,

103
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: speaking of raining on what you say, raining on parade

104
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: and all that. All right, this dark cloud, of course,

105
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: we're starting with the negative four. Well, it has landed

106
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: over Dallas here in the last week. There's no getting

107
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: around that. Slayer Jane None and I don't know who

108
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: do we blame for this? Well? How do we make

109
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: sense of this? About God's You know what's interesting, There

110
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: have been an unusual amount of injuries here in Dallas,

111
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: and Mike McCarthy once had a lot of injuries in

112
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay, And so you know, I started calling around

113
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: and I was reminded Rod Marinelli's staff had a lot

114
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: of injuries for whatever reason. And as one person pointed

115
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: out to me, and I'll just go ahead and give

116
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: you some context. Their big thing is this is not

117
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: so much about this team, but this league in general.

118
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: Players not practicing. As it was described to me, it says,

119
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, I once asked a race car driver one day,

120
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: how do you practice? He said, we average feats of

121
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: two twenties, so I usually practice around two fifty. And

122
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: so guy's getting hurt falling in the ground now because

123
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: they aren't used to falling. I thought was an interesting perspective.

124
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys feel about that. So

125
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: go back to the parcels way and just go, go, go,

126
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: and if you get hurt too bad, see you next. Yeah,

127
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: but nobody, nobody's doing it anymore. It's not just a

128
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: cowboy issue. No, that's what I'm saying. It's actually more

129
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: of a league I mean, it's very myopic for us

130
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: because we cover this team, but it's actually across the league.

131
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: Well it's I mean, it's just like anybody that goes

132
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: out and runs around and doesn't stretch. I mean, I mean,

133
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: it's it's it's that type of thing. It's like, this

134
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: is the training camp and off seasons, the form of

135
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: stretching to get yourself loose and ready for the hits

136
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and even taking a few hits

137
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: in the preseason and all that. But it's just this

138
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: risk for more I hear you. And it would be

139
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: different if the book of the issues we're talking about

140
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: this week was about running and falling on the ground.

141
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: And I've been used to following maybe you know, maybe

142
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: the Margot lawn but Randy Gregor being out for COVID's

143
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: fair Uh. Donovan Wilson's growing issue that from training camp,

144
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: Michael Galler got hurt in the game, a camp issue. Uh.

145
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: Loo Collins five games suspension. This is not this is

146
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: not an issue about injuries, and you know these is

147
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: the thing that's over this team going this week. It's

148
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: good as we felt about the way they played on

149
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: last Thursday to coming to this week. You you Gallops

150
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: hurt in Monday, uh or two on Monday, Randy Garrett

151
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Gregory's out for COVID. Then two two days into practice

152
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: Leon Let and DeMarcus Lawrence is out. You know we're

153
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: really injuried that happen on the practice field. Uh. Donald

154
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: Wi Wilson is not practicing because of a growing issue.

155
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: Demonte kazis on the Indy Report today because of issue

156
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Martin with COVID City Land. So there's a lot of

157
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: explanations for some problems. But it was like a rap

158
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: song from the nineties, any one thing if it ain't one,

159
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: And that's what's another real quick on your ninety six

160
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: how about that, if any one thing, I do think

161
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: it's fair to wonder, because all of us know that

162
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: the NFL is a very violent sport, and they avoid

163
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: the violence as much as they can. To me, that's

164
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: always been very odd. See the old school, and I

165
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: brought up Parcels. They accept the violence. You get through

166
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: the violence to prepare you for the violence. And if

167
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: you have casualties along the way, that's just the way

168
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: it goes. The wagon train is going to California. We're

169
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: gonna lose some people, We're gonna gain some people. I

170
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard the story before, you know

171
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: that that wagon train that was a Chary. We're gonna

172
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: burn some kid and we're gonna lose some people on

173
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: the way. But we're going to California, sir. The season

174
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: is going to start. It is gonna play, whether it

175
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: was into Parcels days or this days. And we want

176
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: to talk about all right, listen, Baltimore Ravens that point.

177
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: The whole NFL is happening everywhere. So it's today's NFL. Right,

178
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: But but don't just throw like this, you know, Bear

179
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: Bryant Junction boys. It's the way it was when they

180
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: weren't dealing with the salary cap and all these different

181
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: types of things. It's it's completely different. I mean, you

182
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: can say run him into the ground or whatever, but

183
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: this guy's making this amount of money and I can't

184
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: do this. And the worst thing in the world's have

185
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: a key player getting hurt. It's even worse when it

186
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: happens in a preseason game. Well, particularly with the Cowboys,

187
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: when you look at all of the starters last year

188
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: and how much money you had wrapped up in the cap.

189
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: But to Clarence's point, this hasn't just been injuries. I mean,

190
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about Marcus Paul's death last year, which was awful.

191
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: A defensive line coach in Leon lutt just being out

192
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: of practice and getting caught up in a sled awful.

193
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: And so I found myself going, I don't know if

194
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: I've answers. It does feel like Mike McCarthy as snake

195
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: Bit cursed, So curse the curse. And I looked in

196
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: my office because like all of us, we had to

197
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: spruce up our offices while we were doing shows from COVID. Guys,

198
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: I'd like to I'd like to present a few things

199
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: to you. This guy sits on my desk. Maury Cooper, O,

200
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: what happened to Marie Cooper last year? I had the

201
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: best year of his career, But then the off season

202
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: at surgery, he had a good game. Game one does brilliant, Okay,

203
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: does goes to Baltimore. He's going to play against the Cowboys,

204
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: and this freak COVID test holds him out from a

205
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: redemption game. He's not playing in the league. Was he

206
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: really gonna be redeemed? Well, he thinks he should be

207
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: put Prescott when you're more durable quarterbacks here in Dallas. Okay,

208
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fix it, all right. You tell you more

209
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: about little dolls here. For those of you not watching

210
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: that she has entered on her desk. Ezekiel Elliot, there's

211
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: a drop he's got better hair fix that I cannot

212
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: wait and then start Drew Brees and I got Michael Thomas,

213
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: and so I just felt like they needed to come

214
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: off my desk. I also have baby Yoda, and if

215
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: you watch Mandalorian, you know what his fate has been.

216
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: So I just I just felt like I just want

217
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: to I can't guard you. I just felt like I

218
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: should ring and we should you well, My point is

219
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: it's I think it's my sight because because we've tried

220
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: to figure out why all these things have happened to

221
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and I just think it's it's no small coincidence.

222
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: And ahead of the season, I got these little characters

223
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: of chaos, and ever since they've been on my desk,

224
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: we've have inexplicable things happening to these probbers. Don't have

225
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: my old TV bubblehead on, ma'am. I just wanted to

226
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: so instead of smashing watermelons, I present that we smash

227
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: these bubbleheads. And then I was thinking, well, that could

228
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: turn into a meme or work against me. So I

229
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: just feel like I'm going to bring them up here,

230
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: keep them in this bag, okay, and then when them

231
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: and then when this season starts to turn around forever.

232
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 1: Question question, man, I just want to let you know

233
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: this is bigger than you. Well, I'm very superstitious. I

234
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: understand that. But Steve and I and Nick, you have

235
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 1: another explanation. All these inexplicable things covered the teams in

236
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven. Okay, this name a year like this

237
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: every year and last year, every year, last year, every

238
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: years last year was a Batly in week two. And

239
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: look what we're doing. Man, I was I was here

240
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: when Joey Galloway and Joy mcgarth. Every year I we

241
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: went through the ride leaves and the Quincy car put

242
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: the card and got cut in training camp. Okay, Tony

243
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: Mays got hit by baton training camp. We've been through this,

244
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: this misery for the kissing, but not to this extent. Listen,

245
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: I forgot more than I knew about this team. I bet,

246
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: if I bet, if I go back and pick the years,

247
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: there will be some horrible years. Okay. I started with

248
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: with the Barry Switzer got arrested the airport. That's true.

249
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: Chilly wet year. Last year, I had no chance, and

250
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: everybody's exciting a fresh year. We got the Dwayne Goods

251
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: year back and and all this nonsense is happening. It

252
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: is body got killed, you know, teammate got killed him

253
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: and bad years. I appreciate Jane trying to accept I'm

254
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: taking accountability blame because I want to blame McCarthy. He's

255
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: the guy who's been here only two years, and maybe

256
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: the dark cloud is over him. Who's another option? Is

257
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: their line? Maybe it's over. I just got to think

258
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: when Mike. I feel for Mike almost because we don't

259
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: have a good gauge of what he is or who

260
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: he is, because he hasn't had the players that would

261
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: help give us some simbilance of that available to him.

262
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: And I just keep thinking that every time he goes

263
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: and looks at his phone, he's worrying what's next? All right.

264
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: What I would say to that is Dave Campbo didn't

265
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: have any players, so he had it worse. Now he

266
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: had Troy Well for Joy Galloway point. But this has

267
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: happened for all think on paper what this team had

268
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: heading into the Seamen and everyone just thought, let's snap

269
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: our fingers and we're going to bring a guy with

270
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: skins on the wall and things are going to be better.

271
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: And it was actually defensively, things were even far worse

272
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: than what was reported and so massive drop off. They

273
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: felt like this was going to be year one. We're

274
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: turning the page and here we are in week two.

275
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: All right, you got one moment, we got one moment

276
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: afraid of something before we get into the let's not

277
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: act like but Park McCarthy didn't have something to do

278
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: with those decisions last year. They before we feel sorry

279
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: for him. I've never he didn't. Okay, and you call

280
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: me negative? Are you hearing that? What are you afraid of?

281
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: I was no, I was. I was kind of afraid

282
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: because I have two uh action figures of Randy mancho

283
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: Man Savage on my desk and he died ten years ago.

284
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: So if those guys, if that's the reason I don't

285
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: have anything, turn their phone off. You don't need a

286
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: phone call right now. Now, I don't have any dollars.

287
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: But let's let's also point this out too, that like

288
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, dark clouds and all this stuff, what's happened.

289
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're own one right now. They're Owen one,

290
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: and this is exactly where everyone thought they would beat.

291
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: Now if they get to Owen two because they can't

292
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: rush the password this weekend and all that, now you

293
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: start to worry. Now you got the Eagles coming in. Yeah,

294
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: but I mean, right now, this is they're exactly where

295
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: they thought they were. If they win this game, everybody

296
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: changes their tune. They're like, wait a second, they can win.

297
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: To spite all this, we haven't seen that they can't.

298
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't look good, but I mean that they can

299
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: only thing that tells me that they can. Honestly is

300
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: number four. I truly believe when he's enter center. There

301
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: are a lot of guys that you'll talk to they

302
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: feel like and it was very different when Romo and

303
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: I hate to disparage Romo, you know, Romo hate for

304
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: some coy we go people feel like they can win.

305
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: We got four minutes you said that maybe they can.

306
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: Let's let's real quick. Let's find out about Dorian's Armstrong

307
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: or Terrell Basham or I mean who is with Gregory

308
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: out and DeMarcus Lawrence out. Let's give the Cowboys nation

309
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: out there the best effort to figure out who's going

310
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: to save the day on the defensive line. Okay, so

311
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: who wants to start? Uh? Who? Terrell Basham talked a

312
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: big game today when he talked about wanting to get

313
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: to Brian Bulaga because he had a lot of quarter

314
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: pocket that I know. He said he had fun last year. Yeah,

315
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: I like that, like the confidence. I mean, now there's

316
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: a place to start. At least he's had seven and

317
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: a half sacks in three full seasons that he played,

318
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: and three and a half last year and thirteen quarterback

319
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: pressures I think, I mean there's nobody else put him

320
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: in Hall of Fame that has that kind of experience.

321
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: If I mean Dorence Armstrong has decent bro I mean

322
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: he didn't accomplish what Basham did last year. He didn't

323
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: get much of an opportunity. Basham got a lot more.

324
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: But but what do you think, Nick, Who's gonna save

325
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: the day? Who who is it? Micah Parsons in some

326
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: clever way of using him? Yeah, dan Quinn's gonna have

327
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: to save the day and use guys like Parsons and

328
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: figure out different ways like this is this is not ideal,

329
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: This is not you know, gonna be what what they expected.

330
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: But come up with ways to get to the quarterback

331
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: Confuse this guy's I mean he's going to be great

332
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: right now. I think he's good. Justin Herbert. I think

333
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: he's a good quarterback. He's on his way. But I

334
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: mean he still hasn't seen a lot of football yet.

335
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: So to give him something he hasn't seen, figure figure

336
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: it out, blitz from the corner, blitz from the side.

337
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: Get Jalen Smith involved in a way we haven't seen him.

338
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: Lord knows he needs to help and contribute to figure

339
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: it out. That's what dan Quinn's supposed to do, and

340
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: that's what he's gotten on this plate. I reached out

341
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: to de Marcus Ware because I'm like, you've worked with

342
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: Mica Parsons and what's your thought, right? Ask him. He

343
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: looks like he could still play right, He's got his

344
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: workout facility. He said that Mica absolutely has the past

345
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: rush moves and even Terrell bash and when I asked

346
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: him about it today, said the same thing and almost

347
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: indicated that that's what we are going to see. But

348
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: he said that he wouldn't use him as a guy.

349
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: His assignment's not necessarily get to the quarterback. It's to

350
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: be a disruptor, and you want to put him in

351
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: more of this role where he's not not run blocking necessarily,

352
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: but you've really got him at a run stop or rather,

353
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: but you've got him out there on the passing place

354
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: and that's going to make it more favorable for these

355
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: one on one matchups. He said, hide to disguise. To

356
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: your point, that's how they used to Marcus Ware, but

357
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: that's what he would. He just he felt it's he's

358
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: a good run stop right his position. He just thinks

359
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: with his body size and not being comfortable with the

360
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: beating at that position. That's probably not what makes the

361
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: most since verybody said hybrid three four hide in disguise,

362
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: I'm miscast as a guy that wants to give you

363
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: hope in confidence because I go by what I know

364
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: and what I see. What we know. We don't know

365
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: anything about these guys. And he talked about bats. He

366
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: has seven half sex and six years. Well, but three

367
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: full seasons that he played. He got them all in

368
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: three full seasons that he played. He has seven sex

369
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: and six years. We're not gonna play fast and lost. Well,

370
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: he didn't play for three of those years. Dude, He's

371
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: been in the leagues of the twenty seventeen. He has

372
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: seven and a half sex, right, That's that's what his

373
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: record said. He's a six year vetter, seven half sex facts. Okay,

374
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,239
Speaker 1: his best year was three and a half sacks. So

375
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, you know it is

376
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: what it is. We don't know three and a half

377
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: more than the other options. That's my point, you don't.

378
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we can talk, I mean, we can talk

379
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: about dan Quinn. But dan Quinn was great in Seattle.

380
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: Why not because of his teams? Because he had players

381
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: big time players. Well the bottom you're gonna have to

382
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: work with you what you understand this? Show me one

383
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: of the free agents you want to go out and

384
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: get right someone? He had big time secondary. They had

385
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: big time rushers. Yeah, Michael Bennett was a big time

386
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: player in his prime. Yeah you could. They had big

387
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: time players linebackers on all three levels of the defense.

388
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: They had big time players. I mean and Quinn in

389
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta when Chas Greene saw some of that. Man, yes,

390
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: but I'm saying is yes, all just sounds good, And

391
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: yes we're gonna ask what uk' make magic when you

392
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: don't have nothing to work with. I don't think anyone's

393
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: saying they're going to create magic. It's like, how are

394
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: you gonna literally put a bandid on? Who are you

395
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: going to stop the bleeding? Michael's guy? You have to

396
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: lead on? But I mean, which is asking the fears? Are?

397
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: You know? The secondary is issue? Anthony Brown is an

398
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: issue out there? How are you gonna cover the best

399
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: way to help your secondary with the pass rush? Well,

400
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: who's gonna get to the quarterback consistently? And the game

401
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: one you had your two best pass rushers and you

402
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: still didn't get to the quarters. Right, we gotta get

403
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: to a break. But I want to ask real quick,

404
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: Chauncey Ghost as a rookie, any chance that he from

405
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: what you three have seen play? We see nothing, nothing

406
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: I understand, but any any chance that's somewhere this season?

407
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: He could be somebody that this season, but not this one.

408
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ready. We have yeah, I mean

409
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, we hope, but we don't know where.

410
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: We don't know nothing about him. Can somebody answer that

411
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: for me? No? But I bet we will this week.

412

Speaker 1: Maybe you'll you'll find out and then you'll find out

413
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,280

00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: More Lord to Mediamash, Steve Dennis, a long a slater

456
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: eat men in chill here on mediamash on this Thursday.

457
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: Glad you're with us. This really intrigues me. I'm gonna

458
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: give you mine. I'm gonna do something different and give

459
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: you my point of view real quick and then open

460
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: it up. Kellen Moore came out and said, hey, yards

461
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: are yards, it doesn't matter how you get them. And

462
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: that has created a bit of a stir. If you

463
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: follow all the platforms out there, fans reacting, some people

464
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: are really upset about this. No, you gotta run the football.

465
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm with Kellen. I think in today's NFL this talk

466
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: about it. You can't win unless you run the football.

467
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you're paying attention. I think Dak thrown

468
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: for four hundred yards a game, especially like that second

469
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: possession in Tampa where it took him seven plays to

470
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: go seventy five yards and they were all eight, eleven, twelve,

471
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: and then twenty two to CD for the touchdown. That

472
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: is a snake that strikes quickly. You don't need to

473
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: run the football. You can go down the field like

474
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: that and score a touchdown. Now you know, if you

475
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: need to run the football, it'd be nice if you could,

476
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: which the good teams seemed to do Tampa, for example,

477
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: you saw Fourignette in the playoffs, and he didn't do

478
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: anything all year virtually. But this is a discussion that

479
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: really intrigues me because I think Dak is what it's

480
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: all about now with the Cowboys. It started out in

481
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen being about Zeke in the run game, and

482
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: I've got some numbers that I'll bore you within a

483
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: minute about that, but throwing it out there, I agree,

484
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: let Dak cook. I'm sorry, Runs, I'm with Zeke. If

485
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: you know the game, you're not tripping on what happened

486
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: in Game one. That was part of the game play.

487
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, Zeke certainly was an important part of what

488
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: they did. I have a problem people, you know, having

489
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: a referendum on Zeke's importance of the team. By the

490
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: Game one game plan, the Cowboys did what was necessary

491
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: to win that game. By all accounts, if your damn

492
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: kicker makes an extra point and a field goal and

493
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: if you're tight in breathe on somebody to go line,

494
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: they win the game. They had four offense. But let's

495
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: make it more general than that. Wasn't a good idea

496
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: to have a quarterback throw for four hundred yards a game?

497
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: Or is it not? It's not. I think it's good

498
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: to have a quarterback who can both who can. But

499
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, but that was a plan is specifically for

500
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: that game against a number one run defense, and when

501
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: he didn't have Zach Martin I don't think that that's

502
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: gonna be what where every game was like. And I

503
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 1: think a lot of people get hung up on it

504
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: because of how much is he has had four straight

505
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: games full games. The Giants game doesn't count because he

506
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: got hurt. Yeah, but those four straight games of four

507
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: hundred the record. But it was his offensive line. But

508
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: it's the record time. It's one in three but one three.

509
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: But but it's not even about that, With all due respect,

510
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: it is about that. But one point is those games

511
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: all played out differently. Those games you were talking about

512
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: in the past, they had to come from behind. Okay,

513
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: this game they had turned over that to come behind.

514
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: That a lot of the passing was because they were

515
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: rallying from behind. This game was a passing from the beginning.

516
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't say that this is how they want

517
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: to do it based on those three games last year.

518
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: This is how they played out this week this year. Okay,

519
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: to answer you said the real general part, like do

520
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: they need that's a fumble? Steve you gotta yeah, security,

521
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: you're struggling. So for I mean, do I think they

522
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: can win win that way? No, because I don't think

523
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: that they are winning that way. I think they do

524
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: need to run the ball. You said that drive you

525
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: just talked about, that's great, ceedee lamb twenty two yards out.

526
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: But what if he gets knocked out at the four?

527
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: What if his foot is out of bounds at the four?

528
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: Do they score? I don't think they do. I don't

529
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: think they can. I don't think when they need to

530
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: knock people off the ball, they can't. They can run

531
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: and do all these little things, but when push comes

532
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: to shop, they don't shop. All right, they can't put it.

533
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: Now that's bringing up another angle of this. But they

534
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: need to prove they can run the too. When you

535
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: get down in there at first and goal from the

536
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: inside the nine or at eight, that is terrible. They've

537
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: got one with Cooper. They can't run. But they can't

538
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: run because they haven't had the offensive line that Zeke

539
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: enjoyed his first couple of years either. I mean, look

540
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: at all the starting with Travis Frederick, what three years ago?

541
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: It started with trash Frederick, and then you started having

542
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: problems along that offensive line where you're rotating guys in

543
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: and out, and you know you the thing is Dak

544
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: is literally supporting your argument. He tells you he doesn't

545
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: want to throw that that much in a game because

546
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 1: that means they're not being competitive competitive and they're not winning.

547
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: It's not what they wanted to do. But as he

548
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: even said today, we couldn't have him keep running into

549
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: a brick wall. Yeah, you're all been saying that, but

550
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: again I hear you, and theoretically you want to be physical. Again,

551
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: I think part of this dynamic is when they paid

552
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: Zix is really going back to Zeke's money making ninety million,

553
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: so you got to be able to use him, and

554
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: I think they are using it. But when when they

555
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: pay Zeke. Jason Garrett was a coach, and Jason Garrett

556
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: had a way of running the football and fluster about

557
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: the game by being physical those tough yards. He always

558
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: talked about the dirty runs and that was important to

559
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: him and which is why it was important for him

560
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: to pay Zeke. Mike McCarthy and then Kellen Moore have

561
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: a different mindset on how they moved to football. You know,

562
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: they don't have a problem to an RPO and getting

563
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: the ball outside and using the past game was extension

564
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: and running game. They don't it's not their issue making

565
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: ninety million dollars. This issue of how can we move

566
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: the ball? And again I go back, I hear you

567
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: what you said them to go line, Blake Jarrod, make

568
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: a block. I'm sorry they get to the end zone.

569
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: We're not we're having it. We're having a different conversation.

570
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: But he didn't. But he didn't because no, no, no,

571
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: because they can't. No, no, no. It does go back

572
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: to it because they want wide they want wide receiver

573
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: tight ends. They want that. They don't want the boring

574
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: blocking Blake Bells of the world. They want Blake Jarwin,

575
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: Darlin Scholtz that they can catch. So that helps your

576
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: fantasy team. But when it comes down to block, they

577
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: don't do it. Okay, time out. You're you're two unfitty

578
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: pound tight. It's a safety. Well he's not a blocker either,

579
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: but he was the best block. But he's more of

580
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: a receiver type. But but but again, you're not asking

581
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: him to be Mark Varrol. You're just asking him to

582
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: get in front of the guy, breathe on the guy.

583
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: You he should be able to touch the guy. Again,

584
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: I want to tell the guy he gets an end zone.

585
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: But you're relying on Ezekiel Elliott to do a lot

586
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: of the blocking for you. Hey, my contention is as

587
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: long as you're really good at what you choose to be,

588
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: run like the Cowboys were in both of the best

589
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 1: two years that I've covered in twenty four years, twenty

590
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: fourteen and twenty sixteen. But those are the two throw

591
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: that with two thousand and seven. Those are the best

592
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: three years they've had in my tenure and your tenure

593
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: and your tenure. I mean, look at these numbers, real good.

594
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: This may shock you. And it's twenty fourteen. How many

595
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: three hundred plus passing games do you think they had

596
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: in the regular season one? How many one hundred and

597
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: fifty plus rushing games did they have? Eight? Now go

598
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: to twenty sixteen with the two rookies, how many three

599
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: hundred passing games did they have? Zero? How many one

600
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: fifty plus rushing games did they have? Nine? Garrett that

601
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: was his Garrett, that was his playing new offensive line.

602
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna run the ball, We're gonna be really good.

603
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: It worked, Okay. Then they've been looking for the balance

604
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: ever since. The closest they came was twenty nineteen. They

605
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: had six three hundred plus passing games, three four hundred

606
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: plus with Dak and they had five one hundred and

607
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: fifty plus rushing games. They were eight and eight when

608
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: they were balanced. Is not if dak is gonna be

609
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: awesome like Patrick mahomes is. Nobody cares how many yards

610
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: Edwards Alaire has, if Mahomes is doing his thing, if

611
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: Josh Alvin is doing his thing in Buffalo, nobody cares.

612
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: Just be really good. Back to the Tampa game, no

613
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: one talks about the fact that the Cowboys actually ran

614
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: it more than Tampa. They had more attempts rushing attempted

615
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: in Tampa, braided through the about fifty times. They won

616
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: the game. No one said, what Tampa needs to run

617
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: the ball more? Well, And I'd also argue too, when

618
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: was the last time you had this many talented wide

619
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: receivers on your roster. I mean, that's because of what

620
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: they chose personnel. While through the draft there was an

621
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: emphasis on these offensive linemen in the first draft and

622
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: recent years, that's not where your emphasis has been, making

623
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: it hard to will or impose your will on opposing teams.

624
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: And then I would also offer up, well, the argument

625
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: there would be the ninety million dollars deal. I would

626
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: also offer up that defensively, they haven't done you a

627
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: lot of favors too, So this hasn't been all on offense.

628
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: You've needed complimentary football, something that just hasn't happened in Dallas.

629
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: And you know you had to keep a bubble bred,

630
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: you had to throw the ball. But let's and you

631
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: brought up the receivers. But if you'll be mad if

632
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: someone be mad at the Cowboys were playing Ezekiel Elliott

633
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: two years early. But but the money is not an

634
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: issue with this. It's not issue about money, but it's

635
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: an issue of when they paid them and what they

636
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: could have got if they just had him play off

637
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: the contract I'm talking about as we go forward with

638
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: this team right now, the money is not an issue.

639
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: We can people get keep getting come up into mossue

640
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: for people looking at the game, and that wants you criticize.

641
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: I understand that they're wrong. They are as slating his

642
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: box score should translate and and I'm telling you they're wrong,

643
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't want to legitimize agree with you.

644
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is what's all star true is

645
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: their best players are also outside and this game is

646
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: about winning matchups. Mark Cooper, Ceedee Lamb and Dak Prescott.

647
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, they may be their three best offensive

648
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: players right now, skill position wise, N ninety million aside,

649
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: Okay Zeke is still a good back, very good back.

650
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: But I would say that who scares you more on

651
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: this Cowboys offense is the quarterback and those receivers on outside,

652
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: and they're gonna try to get the ball to their best.

653
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: That's right, And this is the way the NFL is going.

654
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you week one, Week one, seven twenty

655
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: plus rushers carries seven. In the whole league, twenty three

656
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: running backs were between ten and eighteen. All right quarterbacks

657
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: sixty through at fifty I mean six of them through

658
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: at fifty plus times in Week one two forty seven plus,

659
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: so that's eight forty seven plus, and eleven of them

660
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: were between thirty five and thirty nine. The whole league

661
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: is throwing the ball if you can do it, And

662
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: I would make this argument go back to the nineties

663
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys them. It was awesome, So is Aikman. If they

664
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: wanted to be an all past team, Aikman could have

665
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: done it with that offensive line. Just be really, I'm

666
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: wondering what the balance needs to be. You can win

667
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: games throwing for four hundred and eighty yards a game. Now,

668
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: maybe not the really good defensive team. So I don't know, Nick, Well,

669
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: I think if Dak in the offense, I mean, we

670
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: talk about how great his numbers are, but they are

671
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: playing from behind a lot and a lot of it

672
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: has to do with them. You know, that was the

673
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: big issue that Kellen Moore last year. They were they

674
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: were sleepwalking in the first half, getting themselves down, having

675
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: to rally back in the games. You know, like everyone

676
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: credits back for that playoff game, his rookie year of

677
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: bringing them back. But if they you know, he was

678
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: a part of the reason they were down, you know,

679
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: So I mean he now he I'm not I'm not

680
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: blaming him in that offense. But you know, they did

681
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: get too many field goals against Tampa Bay and not

682
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: enough of them went through the uprights. So but yeah,

683
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: but so. But but the point is is that, you know,

684
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: if all this is your you're saying is if they

685
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: were playing with leads, eightman emmet, they played with leads.

686
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: They need to do that, I think Jane said, played

687
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: with leads, so so execute better when you get down there.

688
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: And Brady through it fifty times and they won, right,

689
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: and they they tried to run it in the guts

690
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: of the game late and the Cowboys wouldn't let him.

691
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: So what does Brady do. I'm gonna throw it now.

692
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: They could have salted away the game there, uh, like

693
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: they did in the playoffs with Foreignette. Cowboys wouldn't let him.

694
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: They tried. I knew Brady was gonna try to run

695
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: it there late and he didn't have success. Nobody's crying

696
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: in Tampa that Brady the ball fifty times. I said that. Yeah, See,

697
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: when you win a championship, you don't cry for exactly.

698
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: But I guess when Brady's proven. But I wins or wins.

699
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: If they had won the game, we wouldn't even be

700
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: talking about the passing. Blake Jarond gets the black when

701
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: not crying about that either. But you always get so

702
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: specific stuff happens that there are trying to make this

703
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: a big and it was a coaching It's a series

704
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: of little thing. I want to know what the balance

705
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: needs to be to make everybody have but that doesn't Yeah,

706
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: all right, just because it doesn't matter as long as

707
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: you win. But let's throw this out. And since in

708
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: the last six or five starts for for Dak. I'm sorry,

709
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: six starts. He played five last year and this year

710
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: you could tell it's a big different. I mean, he

711
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: is throwing the ball around, he's getting these yards. Fantasy

712
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: owners of loving him. But they're two and four in

713
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: that time, and there's two wins. They were not winning

714
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: until the final second of the game with field goals.

715
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: So it was a it was it was a challenge.

716
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: It's an uphill battle and right now they haven't proven

717
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: that they can win this way. It's just these games

718
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: till the last. Now, I agree with you one hundred percent.

719
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 1: He's the reason they're gonna stay in it. Seattle was better,

720
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: Cleveland was better last year, Tampa Bay was better. But

721
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: Dak is not gonna let them get blown out. He

722
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they's gonna let him lose. He's not gonna

723
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: let him And as your guy, and again there are

724
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: two issues here. I have a problem would have us

725
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: making a referendum on how they're going to perform and

726
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: how the style they're gonna play this year based off

727
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay game, right, And I have a problem

728
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: with linking the style of play against Tampa Bay game

729
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: to those four games last year because they played out differently.

730
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: That was not the game planning last year to throw

731
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: for four they got behind, they had all those turnovers

732
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: this game, they didn't have all those turnovers this They

733
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: played this game how they felt they needed to win,

734
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: and then what they felt they need to do on

735
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: that day. There's a philosophy change of that Dad can

736
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: throw at fifty sixty times and that that hasn't checked.

737
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: But I agree. But what I'm saying he was not

738
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: on the fifth count. My point is those were those

739
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: were Dak making RPOs though. I mean that was not

740
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: like We're just gonna go out there and pitch it

741
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: fifty times. He saw the defense, He made the right decision.

742
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: There were is Kelly more eloquently stated twelve of those

743
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: plays that he called runs twenty eight times. Twelve Dak

744
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: checked out they had four point eight yards for play.

745
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: That wasn't like we're just gonna throw it, throw and

746
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: throw it. That was Dak said, this is how we

747
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: need to do to move the ball. And that was

748
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: a great decision. I'll bet you one of those uh

749
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 1: little gifts that you just gave Nick, a little bottle

750
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: of crown that he throws it fifty times in La Sunday.

751
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: I bet you guarantee you will because her with you,

752
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be behind. Well, I mean, first of all, okay, okay, okay, fine,

753
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: then let's put a qualifier on if they're behind then,

754
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is, I think that they gave

755
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: up one hundred twenty seven yard rushing last week to

756
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: wash it. I just think it's a It's gonna be

757
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: a different game, and I do think that. And to

758
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: protect the defense, they may try to be more ball control.

759
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: I think they will be able to run the ball

760
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: more and they'll be a different game. Now, have to

761
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: get back about three scores that all bets are off.

762
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: Come on, but I'm talking about if it's a game

763
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: but there within one score of each other throughout, they're

764
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: not pass You said the game plan wasn't to do

765
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: it against Tampa. The reason is because Brady's on the

766
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: other side. It's similar. The best chance they have to

767
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: win is for Dac to go tee to tell with

768
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: Herbert's production period same as Brady, and they almost did it.

769
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: But he's gonna have to do that again against or

770
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: pay ball control to keep him off the field. Do

771
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: you know that Herbert against Washington had four hundred and

772
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: eighty yards of offense and only scored twenty points two

773
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 1: red zone turnovers. That's right, Yeah, they should have scored

774
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: forty five in that game. It's like Darwin should have

775
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: gotten Maybe he's winning this game. This weekend, we're gonna

776
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: talk about who' gonna talk about lose de Markins Laarson?

777
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 1: That there, well troll, that's hey, Dorrin's Armstrong almost got

778
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 1: the ball from Brady, so didn't he? So did Jeff Heath?

779
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: You brought up Jeffie, So did Jeff th Night? Be

780
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: fought third and thirty one, Jeff, He've almost got the

781
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: ball rout So I can't wait. I'm gonna make another

782
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: bet of that crown that will never mention Jeff Heath

00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: But I mean that first year of Midwestern State, like

910
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: With's daughter running over the so much. I will tell

911
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: you we we if I could go back in details

912
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: to me, we've had issues. Now Slater will love this.

913
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: I actually put a story together for the Score on

914
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: Sunday Night about how training and I'm brand new, this

915
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 1: is my second year ninety eight, and I we've had issues.

916
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. I put a nice piece together

917
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: on how training camp is going so well for the Cowboy.

918
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm using that song I can't remember kissing Death. But

919
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: I was so proud of this piece. And then the

920
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: Michael's story broke with the scissors and I it's not

921
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: gonna run true story this training camp. I wrote a

922
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: column about how this camp was quiet there would I

923
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: did the same. And then the next day note I

924
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: swear to God, I did, Yeah, go pull the tape.

925
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: I said, you know, it just feels like it's been

926
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: a boring camp for this swearing God it was. It

927
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: Wasn't you can say that at Cincinnati Bengals. Can't. You

928
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: can never say that. I said that here all right now,

929
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: by the way, real quick, the third voice you're here

930
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: and is speaking of famous Clarence E. Hill Junior, longest

931
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: running ten. Yeah, but the best thing I can't get

932
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: rid of it in terms in terms of star power.

933
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: The best thing I can say about you is Todd

934
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: Archer likes you. That's that's kind of who oh like.

935
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: People give him crap Martin. I don't know why I

936
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: should care so much. I really don't know why I

937
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: should care so much, But I feel like when Todd

938
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: and David started acknowledging me, I felt like, Okay, I

939
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: think maybe I'm settling in here, but I don't want

940
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: to get too comfortable, because for whatever reason, that's not

941
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: a bad thought. Their validation and acknowledgement means a lot

942
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: to me. A bad thought. You didn't feel that. I

943
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: just had to apply him with alcoholic. I've talked to everybody,

944
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter always. I apply you with Alcoholic's

945
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: one chill introduced me to Crown in camp. I never

946
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: drank it. I was a beer guy. My name almost

947
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: ruined me. Yeah, all right, how do they avoiding too

948
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: the story? No, you gotta go ahead? How do you

949
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: keep question? Make it quick? First mixed, first year? You

950
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: know we're sitting out there practice after he gets called up.

951
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: What's the falls paper? Working for the cowboys And we're

952
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: out there watching mini cameras something and Jerry says, Nick,

953
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: come over here. Nick, I'm standing next to Clarence and

954
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: Jock and I did thee. Yeah. He he knows my name.

955
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: You know, he used me. He said, shout, he knows

956
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: my name. This is worse than saying no, that's the

957
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 1: wrong camp. He knows my name. He basically gets in

958
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: and tells him takes shouts in the bathroom. Now you

959
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: always say it's the bathroom. It wasn't go take shout

960
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: of taking a leak. It was take him inside. It's hot,

961
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 1: take him into like Maryland's office. He's like three reassurg

962
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 1: what do you need? He's like, he's hot, he needs

963
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: to go inside you. He still changes the story to

964
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: the bathroom and the next time you go ring it

965
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: out for him, and the cameras didn't catch this. The

966
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 1: next time that Jerry called him, he called him nestor. Well,

967
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: since we're telling first time we've met Jerry and person stories. Uh.

968
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: I was working with Mark elfin By and it was

969
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: my very first camp and we had our Elphin Slater

970
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 1: show and elf with this big, gregarious person. He's like, Jerry,

971
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: I want you to meet, you know, my co host.

972
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: And Jerry's got sunglasses on. He pulls him down. He goes, well,

973
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: aren't you a pretty little thing? Then he called on

974
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: Eric and I'm like, I'm like, I forgot what I said.

975
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: I said, Hey, Jerry's slater is now Jane. I call

976
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: everybody by their first name. He was like, and you're

977
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: my friend. I call everybody by their first name. You

978
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: should you should have him just oh, I was that

979
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: would have been a great start. I don't know. I

980
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: think I have a different respective on that, but I

981
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: thought it was sweeten and daring, and you know, he's

982
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: he's been good to me over there. I got I

983
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,720
Speaker 1: do got one time. Another story, No, not a story,

984
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: but it's funny because we're talking about how bash him

985
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: talking about how he got after Herbert. He had fun

986
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: that day. He's definitely sick. Here's here's the box score.

987
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: Your basht had one quarterback hit well in that game,

988
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: no sex well, when you consider how many secks he's

989
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 1: had a cross. I had fun that day. I hit

990
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: him a lot. Listen, there's a lot of politicians these

991
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: days that tell you that they you know, things have happened,

992
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: and we fact checking it hasn't. People have revision as

993
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: history even days. I'm glad that we're having fun this

994
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 1: segment because when I asked the question how do they

995
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: avoid or owing two started? My answer as they don't

996
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: so it's very quick for me. But is it that

997
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: quick for you three? Well, I mean they can. They

998
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 1: got to have some fun there with with Justin Herbert.

999
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he's he's a good young star, but

1000
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, I mean he's not a he's

1001
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: not proven that he can go out and win. He

1002
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: hasn't put his team in the playoffs. I mean, he

1003
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: had four hundred yards or plus last week, but he

1004
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: when he got down to the red zone, they had issues.

1005
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: They turned the ball over. And if the Cowboys can

1006
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: do that again and turn the Cowboys can get three

1007
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: turnovers instead of you know four, If they get three

1008
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: legit turnovers like they did last week, then I think

1009
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: I think they can win the game. I don't want

1010
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: to be Cowboys Nation app because I said the worst

1011
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: thing that could happen for this team is for them

1012
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: to actually beat Tampa on the road, and then everyone's

1013
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,720
Speaker 1: gonna say they can win the Super Bowl. I realize

1014
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of unique challenges this week. With

1015
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: that being said, last week, we all thought the sky

1016
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: was falling because Zach Martin wasn't in this game and

1017
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: they had Vita Vea, Jason Pierre, Paul, you name it.

1018
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: I think they're capable of pulling it off. I don't

1019
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a blowout. And again it

1020
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: goes back to what's the secret sauce. For me, it's

1021
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: it's Dak Prescott. I also really love the competitive spirit

1022
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: of guys like Trevon Diggs and Micah Parsons. I don't

1023
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 1: think they're going to get a win, but I suppose

1024
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: it's possible because I think all of us we're expecting

1025
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: a blowout on the road against Tampa road game. No,

1026
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: that's a good point. All the games and years that

1027
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: we've covered this team, that would be very Dallas Cowboys

1028
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 1: life that they the where they win is riding Dak Prescott.

1029
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 1: He's gonna be theft passes. That's what I'm trying. They're

1030
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: gonna ride Dak Prescott. He's gonna lead, He's going out

1031
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: score them. They won't stop him, though, I'm sorry, this

1032
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: won't be the traditional road game. I mean, this is

1033
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: all the Cowboys fans, everybody. This is the understand This

1034
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: is the opening game with fans of the Chargers and

1035
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: all that. But yet they're not They're not the favorite

1036
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: in LA. They're not the favorite team there. They have to,

1037
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, they have to try to get their fans

1038
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 1: um that they're establishing a fan base. Cowboys have had

1039
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 1: fans there that this game has been on the schedule

1040
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: for a while. I guarantee you there will be a

1041
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: lot of Navy and Silver there for the Cowboys and

1042
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: so and there was a lot of Tampa. Actually you

1043
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: heard some Let's Go Cowboys there at the end of

1044
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: that game. So I think this will be one of those.

1045
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm not calling it fifty fifty split. It's very rarely

1046
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: is it that. But I think there will be a

1047
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: lot of fans there for the Cowboys, and I think

1048
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: it will be a situation won't be as as daunting

1049
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: of a task. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna make

1050
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: a statement that I'm gonna regret as soon as I

1051
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: make it, because but I've never let that stop me before. Yeah,

1052
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: uh see to me Dak. We've been in this conversation

1053
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: ever since he showed up and took Tony's job away

1054
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: from him. Um, you know, comparing Dak to Tony, Tony

1055
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: got in trouble with good football teams, even when he

1056
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: felt like he had to be superman. It was all

1057
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: about him. They built it, it was everything was on

1058
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 1: Tony's shoulders. And Tony I see him all the time.

1059
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: He plays golf with my buddies. Big money game that

1060
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: I can't afford, so I avoid it. Man, you can't compete,

1061
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: is what you're saying. No, I can compete. Not for

1062
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: five thousand. You can compete. You can afford it because

1063
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna win. Where's player guest him? But we'll leave

1064
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: that off. But Dak to me, I won't doubt him.

1065
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: I uttered him in Tampa. I didn't see how we

1066
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: could play to his elite level after not playing for

1067
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,919
Speaker 1: eleven months. There is something in my opinion about Dak

1068
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: that's a little different than Tony and everybody. If you remember, no,

1069
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: my opinion of Tony great player. But I don't think

1070
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: we're gonna end that sentence with Dak with a butt Someday.

1071
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: I think that he's a little different, and he proved

1072
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: it last week when he needs to be Superman Sunday.

1073
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: And every time Romo had to put that cape on,

1074
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: bad things happened. Most of the time, I felt like

1075
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: he would force it at times. Yeah, shoot your point,

1076
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: Although day Dak's more comfortable in the Superman cape is

1077
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 1: my point. Yes, But I would also say I think

1078
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to see Dak doing some of the

1079
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: runs that he had in Tampa. There were a couple

1080
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: of moments during that game. I don't know if you

1081
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: saw that one on where he went to It was

1082
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: a Cowboys bench and looked like they rolled on his

1083
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: ankle and I got very, very nervous. So I'd like

1084
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: to see him be alive. I think he's being smart

1085
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: about running. I mean that that's gonna be part of

1086
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 1: the game. They could roll on his ankle in the pocket,

1087
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: you know when he gets Most quarterbacks get hurt in

1088
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: the pocket. Well, that was my point is that I

1089
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: felt like Romo always felt like he had to force

1090
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: it and do things, and I felt like that's how

1091
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: the injuries would happen. You know, I think I think

1092
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: it's important to point out that, like you said, every

1093
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: time he had to wear Romo had to wear the cape.

1094
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: He really couldn't do it, not every time. Well, basically

1095
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: what you're saying too is when it got time to

1096
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 1: win games in the playoffs or to get into the playoffs,

1097
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: they didn't do it right. And and and the story of

1098
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: the undrafted Eastern Illinois guy that went old as soon

1099
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: as he got his contract. Now he's the quarterback of

1100
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Same with the same with Dak. Like Dak,

1101
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: hasn't I mean, has has he done it yet? Either?

1102
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's won a game the playoffs. They lost

1103
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: that first one that he was in the great Game,

1104
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: but you know they lost, so Jeff right. But my

1105
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: point again, but Dak, I mean, we're at that point

1106
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: now where all this stuff is great. Now it's time

1107
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: to go win and wear the cape. And I think

1108
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: you can do it. And it's fair enough. And what's

1109
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: also what's also fair is, like Romo, he needs the

1110
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: meil from the defense. I mean, where will you go

1111
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: back to twenty and sixteen, He had a great rookie.

1112
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 1: You can't give up a third and thirty one. I'm

1113
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: sorry you you need help from other side. And there

1114
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: was nothing wrong with the two thousand and seven Dallas

1115
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense. Nothing wrong with that, but after that they

1116
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: had they had that. That twenty fourteen defense wasn't very good.

1117
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: It was, it was serviceable. Defenses were always okay. But again,

1118
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: part of Dak's issues winning these games, the big time

1119
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: games is and why they have to throw so much

1120
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: sometimes because the defense given up thirty They give up

1121
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: thirty points a game last year, so yeah, they had

1122
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: to throw the bottle a lot two game. Can't do

1123
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: it all. But what I think the biggest difference for

1124
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: me with Tony Romo and Dak Prescott is the way

1125
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: these guys talk about Dak and the authenticity behind him.

1126
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we had Terrell Owens being like, that's my quarterback,

1127
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: and I think there were guys that were big fans

1128
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: of Romo. But I've never seen a locker room here

1129
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: in Dallas talk. I've said this moment about a quarterback.

1130
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: The way they talked about Dane was aloof until he

1131
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: figured it out. Dak has never been that. He's the

1132
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: pied piper. Huge difference. I just feel like, guys, do

1133
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: you know how many games tie and Secky I'm sorry, Jane,

1134
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: do you know how many games tie, and Secki and

1135
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: Dak played together like I don't think they I mean zero,

1136
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: They had not played any games. Yeah, they didn't know

1137
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: each other. And Secki has a golf tournament out and

1138
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:29,439
Speaker 1: fort where DA's there this offseason. Romo wasn't doing that, Yeah,

1139
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: admittedly not doing that. Now will he do that when

1140
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: he gets married and have kids in a family. We

1141
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: see that with all teams, guys like Drew Brees and

1142
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: all that. But I would just say that's the one thing.

1143
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: I think guys play up to his level and play

1144
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: better than what you'd expect of certain players because of Dak,

1145
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: And I think that's the secret sat final comment. I

1146
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: want to make here no offense to anybody else, But

1147
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: I know Slater Jane. She's a bulldog, so I'm gonna

1148
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: ask this question to her. I'm sure she's talked to somebody.

1149
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: Give me some idea that Terrence Steve can handle the

1150
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: great Joey Bosa. Joey's not as good as Nick by

1151
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: the way, which is very right. Bosas. Huh, you're talking No, No,

1152
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: tell me tell me what tern Steele can do, because

1153
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've talked to somebody. Listen, people that I've

1154
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: worked with them in the off season, and people around

1155
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: here don't feel like this guy is necessarily falling. Is

1156
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: this a guy that's going to be able to handle

1157
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: Joey Bose on his own? No? Does it help that

1158
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: you've got Zack Martin in there? Yes? And I feel

1159
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: like this is probably the best combination, given with what

1160
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: they have, that they can go with. One thing I

1161
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: would offer up. We haven't talked a lot about the

1162
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: left side. Did Connor govern McGovern do enough last week

1163
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: that any chance maybe a subout with Connor Williams. I'm

1164
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 1: just bringing it up. Don't upset Lawn too, but he

1165
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: gets I'm just saying I don't think they're done with

1166
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: testing out combos and that they might not be done

1167
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: with testing out Connor McGovern going the center, that's a

1168
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: bigger issue on this team, Hey, Western, I think, like

1169
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: a rag, that's a big ratie on this team, the

1170
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: center right, and I think Zach Martin is going to

1171
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: provide some stability for the right tackle and Terrence Steele

1172
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: as well as his left side with Tyler be honest,

1173
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: I think having him there is a blocking and right back.

1174
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Now I'm a little scared of her you're not gonna

1175
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: just throw on a Thursday throw out this mc governck

1176
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: connor switching like that, don't. I'm just saying, like, right right,

1177
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't think that they're done with combos.

1178
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: To see what makes the most sense for this team.

1179
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: Agree until you get Lyle coming back. We've talked a

1180
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 1: lot about the right side, but I'm just interested to

1181
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: see what that will, what they could do with the

1182
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: left side. There's the last word. Slater Jane wins the

1183
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: last word. Thanks for being here, Slater Jane. We'll do

1184
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: it again. Nick Eatman, of course, Clarence Hill, thanks for

1190
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,840

1191
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: if you go oh and two. We all know that,

1192
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: but I hate analytics, so ignore it. Enjoy the weekend.
