Daddy Shark is 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.280 what it is. Ultimately, it's a it's a really really 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.760 good Xbox name. He got it, like really early on. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:36.679 Before that he get marked one. He just said sometimes. 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:43.480 But yeah, so that's that's Beasi's mind.

Probably scared of stuff, scared of 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.840 stuff seventeen something like that. Back, I like that, I 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:21.359 don't scared off. I got phobious. I got phobious. I 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:30.679 got phobius. Scared girl dad screaming Aggie, disappointed Aggie about that. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:35.239 That one's definitely taken. I guarantee that after Saturday, we 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.080 need somebody eats a photoshop like a picture of us. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.359 We don't have a coach right now. Nobody's rumored to 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.000 go to every other job in the country every year. 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.600 Can somebody, somebody out there who's listening, photoshop just like 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.840 a lower third on each one of our names, and 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.840 it's the Xbox gamer tag, the ones that they liked 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.120 the most. Take a pole top three or four selections 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.639 for each person. What would yours be? I don't know, 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:05.000 I don't know. You dubbed for life, Yeah, something Seattle, Seattle. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:09.360 My actual gamer tag is zu side four. Crazy? How 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.560 I got like that? That's number was four? My nickname 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:17.560 was Zeus name my boys. You say zu side, This 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.079 would be Judge dreads, Judge d I was thinking crazy 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.480 for the cracking or something like like that with Seattle. 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.160 But I like that. You like the crack crack like 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:32.119 anything Seattle cracking. There you go, that's all right. News 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.239 and Notes for the Cowboys. Jerry Jones was on the 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.000 fan a couple moments ago, and I don't know what 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.280 you thought about what he had to say on the radio, 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.560 but I want to say he might have tipped his 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.800 hand as to what could happen when Tyron Smith comes back. 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.240 There is a chance that he does come back this week. 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.600 Stephen Jones said that yesterday on the fan, But what's 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.440 the situation at the left tackle spot and is there 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.200 anything moving into the week to be encouraged enough. Everybody 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.400 has sounded like tire and has a great chance to 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.720 play this week, and look, they'll see how it goes. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.680 I asked Mike about it yesterday. The plan is for 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.960 him to get into practice. On some level. It doesn't 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.880 sound like it's going to be the heaviest Wednesday practice 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.200 they've had because they know they've got this crazy stretch 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.080 three games and twelve days ahead. But I think they 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.040 feel good about it. So but yeah, to your point, 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.400 Jerry was asked, what's your right tackle plan? He said, 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.880 I don't know if we know now. Maybe that's Jerry 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.679 just saying I don't want to tell you on Tuesday, 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.920 even though he's he's kind of tipped his hand in 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.000 the past, or at least given his impressions of what 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:35.799 they might do. So I don't know. We'll see because 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.839 I think both guys Karen Steele and law Collins played 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.559 better in this past game at left tackle for Steel 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.000 right tackle for Collins. I'm not sure what they should 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.520 do either. I don't know if there's a clear cut 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.040 answer here. I don't know how you guys feel about it, 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.720 But how do you feel about it? I feel good 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.720 about it. I feel good about what Taran Steele did 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.320 against Atlanta. But you don't understand without the threa of 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.880 a bona fide pass rush, you would expect him to 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.720 be as good as he as he was. Obviously, those 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.480 improvements have got to make this coaching staff feel a 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.360 lot better about him right now when you think about 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.760 three games in twelve days. I believe that's what this 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.760 next stretch is going to be. When Tyren Smith, his 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.679 availability is important to us right now. So if he's 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.880 eighty percent, I set him. It doesn't matter ninety percent 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.680 I sit him because we're gonna need him over this 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.400 last stretch. And so like we face this each and 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.640 every season with this stretch, and so it's very important. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.360 And Mike McCarthy talked about it in the pressor yesterday 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.560 about how important just watching guys and monitoring health right 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.680 now is to the squad. So if we don't do that, 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.440 I think we're doing ourselves a disservice. We have a 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.280 few AFC opponents that we're going against but again, we 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.120 have to watch the health of our team. Yep, I 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.160 don't disagree. I think I think you have to for 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:55.640 him as a as a vet. You need to get 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.640 him back as healthy as possible. So if he's not 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.719 one hundle, keep him sitting down. Sure he's good, because 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.560 I mean, we we're looking big picture here. You know, 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.200 it's not like we have a like we have a 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.400 bum behind him. Uh you know, Tarren Steele got his 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.320 legs up underneath them. You know, that's something that we 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.080 said he needed to do. M on the backbone of 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.880 the Minnesota game. And he did that, right, He showed up. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.880 He took care of business. We're not sitting here talking 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:17.600 about how how bad he played and how he was 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.800 using the wrong hand and all that jazz. Right, So 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.919 he took care of business. If we have a healthy, 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.600 healthy Tyrone, obviously we want him. But if he's not, 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.880 let's not let's not play with him because we know, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.359 you know, unfortunately and guys are some guys are more 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.080 susceptible to injuries than others, and he has a history 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.839 of that. So let's make sure he's as healthy as 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.280 can be when he comes back. I'm sorry, did you 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:37.880 think he dropped a hint on what they might do 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.120 at right tackle or that or that, or that Tyrone 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.360 would just be back this week, so go I'll have 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:43.760 to go back and look at it. But the way 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.400 that I interpreted it on the fan was before he 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.159 started talking about that specific and they asked him that question, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.400 what would you do it right tackling? He his quote was, 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.080 I don't know if we know. At the moment before that, 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.960 he was talking about Terrence Steele and he mentioned that 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.160 Terrence Steele had played better and he's having a great year. 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.440 He I think he said a top notch year or 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.120 something of the sword. I don't remember the exact quote there, 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.800 but then he kind of rattled on a little bit 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.800 and kind of draw the or I guess finished the 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.320 rest of his answer by saying, Terren Steele has played 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.720 well on us to give us a great option, a 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.880 great reserve option at left tackle as well as right tackle. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.560 And I think that might have tipped his hand as 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.200 maybe saying, okay, here, he's back to swing tackle. Which 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.960 is something that I know Heckma you had talked about previously, 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.640 is that if Collins takes over at right tackle, he 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.520 doesn't give that job back, especially whenever Terrence Steele moves 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.160 to the left. Once Terren Steele is done being at 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.760 left tackle, Tyren Smith returns, then Terrence Steele is then 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.640 the swing tackle. Am I under Am I being delusional 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.400 when I say that it was apparent that Leo Collins 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.240 is a better right tackle last week? Just the power 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:56.080 that he has and the illusional Okay, because I see 0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:00.680 immediately a guy that comes out and his presence, how 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.400 physical he is at the right tackle. So I mean, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.560 I understand. Look, Terrence Steele has done a wonderful job, 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.520 you know, but I just I don't think he's going 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.040 back to right tackle over Well, that's kind of Jerry 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.160 kind of reference. I think what you're talking about, how 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.840 physical let he called us, He called him the enforcer 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.960 of the offensive line, and then he's kind of got 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.680 a dark side in terms of just how nasty he 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.320 can get in that group, and I think that is 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.360 something he brings to the table. But then there's this 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.720 whole continuity thing too. When Terrence Steel has been over 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:29.640 there for five games, they've had a ton of success. 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.440 And Mike McCarthy said at the start of the year, 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.880 when you've got the same five starting the entire season, 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.360 like analytically, you're gonna win a lot of football games now, 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.480 Lyle Collins has been the mainstay there, so it's a 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:45.240 different kind of situation. But I don't have a field 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.120 right now for what they're gonna do either. Are we 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.520 getting a false sense of hope for Taryn Steele, a 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.240 left tackle though, because of the way he played against Atlanta? 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.959 You mentioned it, there's a difference between the Denver pass 0:08:56.040 --> 0:09:00.160 rush and the Atlanta pass rush. Even Denver, we were 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.800 looking at it on paper and saying, you know what, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.559 like this team didn't have Von Miller, they didn't have 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.680 Bradley Chubb. That that didn't look like the pass rush 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.280 that would have made noise. Oh, they made some noise 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.840 Atlanta we went into its end. Yeah. No, there should 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.480 not be any pressure in this ball game at all, 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.400 and there wasn't. And that's a credit to yes, the 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.560 offensive line. But I just don't want to get ahead 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.400 of myself and Isaiah you can give your input on 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.760 this as well. Just because they didn't give up anything 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.040 against Atlanta doesn't mean they weren't moving forward. No. I 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.120 mean any team that you play against, you know, in 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.400 this league, you're susceptible to them finding a way to 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.839 generate pressure. So I mean the comfort you know, the 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.560 continuity obviously, Collins is when he's healthy, he's the he's 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.079 the best tackle right tackle we have, hands down. That's 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.360 not even a conversation piece. But the continuity's question is 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.400 what we is something we were trying to figure out, right, 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.199 how how long is it going to take him to 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.280 get back integrated? How long is gonna take me to 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.240 feed underneath them? You know, how are his hips all 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.040 those kind of things right? So we see that he's 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.480 he's good, so you keep him there, right, he's ready 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.800 to take care of business. Um did the same issue, 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.959 the same question marks that we have in terms of 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.280 continuity and all that stuff. Our upcoming opponent is trying 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:10.960 to figure out as well. And I know we're gonna 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:12.880 talk not talking about them yet, but their officive line 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.280 was totally shaking up this year and they ain't had 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.199 pretty much five fresh ones up there. And that's what 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.920 they're trying to figure out, that continuity piece. The guys 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.480 that are better guys versus the guys that have been 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.640 already playing, and do we switch these guys out? So 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:25.839 this is a problem that that obviously we're not the 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.520 only team that's trying to figure it out. But you know, 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.720 as long as again I think Colin's healthy obviously playing, 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.160 If Smith's not one hundred percent, the heck's point, keep 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.679 him off. We're you surprised that Dante Fowler came off 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.200 for I R before this game. He's the one guy 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.400 that when he when I saw Dante Fowler run out 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:47.320 of the I can't believe he would actually get healthy. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.040 Obviously got healthy for this game, and I was looking 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.200 forward to that matchup. A tern still handle him. I mean, 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:56.120 he didn't have any pressure maybe one pressure on Dak, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.080 but that's a good problem to have, no matter. I mean, 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.080 we're talking about something that's really good, great, a great 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.840 problem to have, and we're talking about depth and maybe 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.160 down the line, if there's something anything that happens for 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.160 me Thymas Smith, I just want to see him back healthy. 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.040 We knew that they we come to a point in 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.160 the season where he pops possibly would miss some games. 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.480 Now that we have a bunch what we feel like 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.160 we have a bona fide tween tackle. Zeke is doing 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.160 so many good things in pass pro and also with 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.480 our blocking tight ends McEwen being back. He did a 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.880 heck of a job as well. So look if we 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.680 can kind of band aid this for these next couple 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.360 of weeks twelve games, I'm excuse me, three games in 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.439 twelve days, like I think it benefits us. Yeah, and 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.559 they've just they got to clean up the penalties inside 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.000 and look at particularly it's Connor Williams at the left 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.959 guard spot, and it's you know, everybody's spoken about it. 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.240 Jerry spoke about it again this morning, like, not that 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.800 he's getting necessarily bad calls against him, but there's something 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.520 he's doing technique wise. It's leverage that is catching the 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.160 official detention and I think he's leading the league in 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.880 penalties now. Oh yeah, it's something that's it's got a change. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:00.360 You can look at all of them and say, yeah, 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.800 not every one of them's you know, maybe a fair 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.240 call or it's close, but if it's keep calling against you, 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.080 you gotta do something and change about it. So, uh, 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.640 that's that's the biggest thing right now, besides figuring out 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.440 that right side. Assuming you get tiring back, you got 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.680 you gotta shore that up. That's weight room and leverage 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.680 for for for a Connor for for that Connor bro 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.840 I mean, I feel as if he's undersized at that position. 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:28.640 I don't want to see him in person. He looks 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.040 like he's still a grown man obviously, but he definitely 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.600 came into the league underside. He came into under size, 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:38.360 and unfortunately, genetics plays a huge part when you know, 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.560 it's not it's not just about technique at that position, 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.839 he's going against the strongest Literally, he's going against the 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.719 strongest guys on the field. When you're playing at the 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.959 guard position, the biggest dudes, the biggest, strongest guys that 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.640 the opponent has is coming against you. And leverage plays apart, 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.360 weight plays apart, strength plays apart right, and unfortunately, I 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.760 think he's probably taking an l in all three of 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.440 those categories whenever he steps on the field with most opponents. 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.000 Jarrett was another problem, Grady Jared, I mean, yeah, again, 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:07.920 you know we've seen it with some other matchups earlier 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.760 this season as well. Yeah, do you think Connor McGovern 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.079 gets a little bit of playing time? I know Jerry 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.599 was asked that question and he kind of shifted it 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:20.320 aside and talked about player versatility, position flex and saying 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.000 that most of the snaps that McGovern has had have 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:24.719 come on the right side, but he did get some 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.360 snaps at left guard whenever Connor Williams was taking snaps 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.280 as the backup center. Connor McGovern was the left guard 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.959 in those sets throughout training camp and I'm certain that 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.719 probably has continued into the season as well. But do 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.319 you think there's a chance McGovern maybe gets into rotation 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.600 a little bit if the penalties continue. McGovern is obviously 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.040 doing something from Monday to Sunday that's not getting him 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.599 any reps on the offensive line, And going back to 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.640 Connor Williams, I just feel as though, man, you know, 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.280 with anything on any team, you're only strong as your 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.160 weakest link. So if we're gonna say, of the starting 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.360 guys that we have, Connor Williams is the weakest linked, 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.839 then the team is obviously trying to figure out a 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:03.800 way to not have him get the penalties that he's getting. Right, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:08.240 But it's either it's either whole Jared or allow him 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.439 to get a sack. It's a it's you know, so 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.120 I for one, Connor, go ahead and hold him so 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.800 that we don't get that pressure. But it is and 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.080 as the course of the game, went on every time 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:23.000 that was a flag. You're just going it's holding yeah, 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.480 you know, so, I mean, I just want him to 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.240 get better, be better. It's like, you know, we're seven 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.640 and two. We're seven and two, and I don't want 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.520 to nick pick the hell out of Connor Williams, but 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.240 you know, let's he's been the guy last year that 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.640 stayed the healthiest. You know, Um, he's having to help 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.240 be honest as well, and them two together, if we 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.760 could just mend them into one, I guess that's the 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.040 way I gotta look at it. Yeah, you gotta, you 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.040 gotta look at it in the grand scheme of things too. 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.720 Like you said, we're nitpicking right now. A lot of 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.040 those penalties happened in the second half of a forty 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.320 three to three win. Now, if those penalties happen and 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.480 it's a three point ball game, it's a seven point 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.520 ball game. Calling him the story referring to it, that's 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.600 nitpicking me because those things you gotta you gotta shure up. 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:06.080 And obviously it's not. It's not something that it's like, okay, 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:07.840 we can we can fix that. Right now, that's like 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:12.440 a glaring issue and it's been all season long. And 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.160 hasn't just been the one game. It's a glaring issue. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.280 I mean, it's it's not like when I was playing 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.760 and Flowzell led the league and false starts, you know 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.480 what I'm saying, Like, it's not that's not something we're 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.360 you just like, hey, Flow, just just sitting on the 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.040 front leg a little bit more and just just wait 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.320 for the ball to be snapped. This is like you're 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.720 being out manned. And that's a that's a problem because 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.520 when we start looking at the teams that we're going 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:36.400 that we obviously have to face the remainder of the season. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.560 And then as we start looking at these playoff teams, 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.920 as we start trying to make this playoff run, you 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.920 start you look at the Rams who you're gonna play against. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.840 They got their butt kick last last night. But who's 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.360 gonna line up over Connor Williams Aaron Donald? Right, you 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.080 start looking at the type of guys that are gonna 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.320 be lined up over him. If you're a defensive if 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.560 you're looking at a defensive end, right, I know it's 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.600 Michael Parkson's here, you, Michael Parsons. I'm picking the worst 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.240 tackle that you have and I'm putting them on them. 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.080 I'm putting the worst tackle. I'm Michael Parson goal against 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.320 the worst tackle they have because you have the advantage. 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.160 It's gonna be the same thing as we face these 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.600 teams that have really good interior D Lineman. I'm putting 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.080 my best interior D linement. I don't care if youre 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:11.200 playing on the right side. I'm putting you on the 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.400 left side today because Connor Williams is right there, Mike Yeah, 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:18.160 and Mike McCarthy. I mean he references competition there and 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.040 not that they're going to make a change, Like I 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.280 think his preference would be to stick, like I said, 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.880 stick with the same five, get that, keep that going. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.680 But look that Yeah, McGovern is a guy that he 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.040 has said has earned the right to play on Sunday, 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:35.160 even if it's as the s or you know, the 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.760 fullback or whatever. They're trying to kind of get him 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:39.520 on the field, get his feet wet a little bit. 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.480 You're right like that. I think they're more comfortable with 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.120 him probably at right guard than left guard. Le Collins 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.080 has taken reps at guard, Like I think it's something 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.440 to watch with eight games left, but I think they 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.840 they think he can get this corrected, but I think 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.960 they they have spoken about the competition at that spot, 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.000 so we'll see. And wasn't it last year Jedrick Wells 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:04.800 from I believe the rookie for the Cleveland Browns was 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.720 the most penalized last season. And that's a team that 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.560 spent a lot of time running the ball. So, you know, 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.720 I think, however you look at it, you know, I 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.800 don't want to. I've been a person that has piled 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.080 on Connor many a time. Right now, I just feel like, 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.760 you know, he's having like you said, he's having the 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.040 best of the best over the top of him, and 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.639 they're trying to get match up and get pressure up 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.119 the middle. If he's holding and he's getting beat u 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.399 in a blowout win, that's where the nitpicking comes in. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.000 If we're getting the close competition. And obviously those like 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.960 in the New England games where we were we didn't 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.960 need that holding penalty, and I believe it was something 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:44.879 else that he got as well. I mean, those are 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.360 things like that's bone headed players. You can't make those 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.040 because you obviously cost your team. No, not at all. 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.000 You can't cost your team like that. And maybe there 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:53.679 that that does open the door for a little bit 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.119 of competition. I think Connor mcgoverns in another competition right now. 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:01.520 Top slot receiver in the him Cooper Cup, Tyree Hill, 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.440 Ceedee Lamb. He's definitely the biggest. And then Connor mccovering 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.280 McGovern has got a score touchdown this sea one yard line. 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:12.359 Come on, now, you and I need to make t shirts. 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.520 We're gonna wear it every front. Yeah, because somebody got 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.560 a bet going big man touchdown Fridge McGovern. What's the bet? 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.840 What's Yeah? You've made it with the people across the pond. 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:25.400 I don't I think they've misunderstood me. It's always understanding 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.199 that they hit me up on Twitter the other day. 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:28.720 They'll have to remind me, if you guys are listening, 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.400 to remind me what the bet was? I forgot Okay, 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.600 so yeah, we will get that reminder, of course, from 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.480 our friends in the UK. But when we come back, 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.800 we'll hear from Cowboys Nation. Give us a call eight 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.640 eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven.
