00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Good morning, guys. We are back. I am back, I

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: should say, because you guys have been doing all the jobs.

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: I've been listening from the other side of the screen. Yeah. No, no,

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: Shannon Gross Yeah, yeah, I didn't even I didn't think

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: about it either until you just didn't thinking about it.

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: We were due for I mean, it's day's not over

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: yet for those people. For those people who don't know,

14
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: we're talking about last year. I don't know that it's

15
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: milk that it still might be online. But we tried

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: to scare Amber and Dave had Shannon under the table

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: down here and he popped up for Halloween. Amber of

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: course was kind of like, what like to fight? And

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: Dave was kind of ye. So it was interesting. It

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: was I didn't like it. I did not like Well,

21
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: Happy Halloween everyone. Um, yeah, you guys are not safe,

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: just not for the rest of the day, just for

23
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the careful watch out for your back.

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: But anyways, we're gonna get into the Times later on,

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: but before we do that, there is a big debate

26
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: happening on Twitter after this Golden tape trade that the

27
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: Eagles made, and I wanted to get y'all's opinion on

28
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: that versus you know, what was the right move? Should

29
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have got in Amari Cooper? Should they have

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: tried to get a golden tate? Was that the right move?

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: Of what does it mean for the Cowboys? I actually

32
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: love the way that Nick described this last night at

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: the Happy Hour Show. You remember what you say last night,

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: Nick about this um kind of what you're getting, like,

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean as far as investment, Yeah, yeah, I mean,

36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: and actually I think I got it really from Dave

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: so oh so sure, let's leave Well, well, Dave I

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: talked about rad I don't remember. No, Basically, this comes

39
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: down to whether or not you want to buy a player,

40
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: you want to rent a player, and that's what the

41
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: Eagles have done, and that's what I think the Texans

42
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: did with de Marius Thomas. That's what maybe you could

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: say the Clinton Dicks with the Redskins. You know, these

44
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: players one year left on their deal. They're getting him

45
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: for this year. We'll see what happens afterwards. This is

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: what you were gonna do if you got Earl Thomas.

47
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: You were gonna rent him and then hope to get him.

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: So it's not a it's not a practice that's that's unusual.

49
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are getting a guy for down the road.

50
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: This was they get their first round pick next year.

51
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: They're just getting him now. That's the difference. So it's

52
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: really gonna be hard to evaluate it right now because

53
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: if you compare Tate versus cooper as as usual. And

54
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't say this with the stain in my voice

55
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: because I love Twitter more than everybody at this table, probably,

56
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: but combined, yeah, no, I love it, um. But that's

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: just the way this thing works now is people people

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: are in such a hurry to have to have a

59
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: take or to have an opinion or you know, at

60
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: this you know, it reminds me of the dak Winz

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: debate back in twenty sixteen, like people are so eager

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: to have something to talk trash about that you know,

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: it can't it can't wait and that's I mean, any

64
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: trade requires time to properly evaluate, just like a draft

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: class does. The Cowboys clearly draft or traded for Amary Cooper,

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: excuse me, because he's young, and he's a guy that

67
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: they think they can build hit their receiver corps around.

68
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: The Eagles think Golden Tate is a guy that can

69
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: help push them to another level for another run at

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and they probably don't care if he'll be

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: around after this season. If I had to guess, I mean,

72
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: they might try to resign him, but I don't think

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: it's a priority for them, Whereas the Cowboys clearly intend

74
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: on Amari Cooper being a key piece of their offense

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: for five to six years um. And so these are

76
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: two totally different trades. It's going to take time to

77
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: know who made the better deal, and that's fine, but

78
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: people don't want to hear that because somebody needs to

79
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: be laughed at, and that's pretty much what fuels most

80
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: of this. Peterson and Wentz will probably well will outlast

81
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: Golden Tate's time in Philly. Peterson and went and Wentz

82
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: and I Cooper will outlast Dak and Garrett here. Wow,

83
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: that is a big statement. That's what I think is

84
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: going to happen. The Garrett part doesn't blow my mind

85
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: so much. But I mean, and I see your logic there,

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people probably agree with you,

87
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: but I'm not ready to say that. I mean, you're right,

88
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: it's a little early, but I think it's very okay.

89
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Can I also throw in what the other thing that

90
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: needs to be that needs to be I think remembered,

91
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: is that if the reports are correct, Philadelphia Eagles were

92
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: also in the market trying to get a trade for

93
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Mari Cooper. They're supposedly we're willing to give up a

94
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: second round pick for Mari Cooper. So I don't know

95
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: if this is so much a and I think fans

96
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: are the fans that are making those kind of arguments

97
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: to trying to paint this picture of well, if Eagles

98
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: did the smarter deal. No, the Eagles did the deal

99
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: that was left for them. They wanted Amari Cooper, if

100
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: the reports are correct, just like the Cowboys, and according

101
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: to reports, many other teams there are a lot of

102
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: other teams that were interested in getting him. Now it

103
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: was a less price second round pick. There were some

104
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: other teams though, that were willing to give up first

105
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: round picks. The point is Amari Cooper was, according to

106
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: I think the just looking at the amount of interest

107
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: there was around the league for him, he seems to

108
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: be the player, the wide receiver of all these that

109
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: got traded, the one that was the most valued commodity

110
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: that was available. And so I think that has to

111
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: be factored in if you're going to talk about, well,

112
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: they gave up a three VERD to get that player,

113
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys gave up one to get Cooper, and

114
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, give it a FOD to get Damarius Thomas

115
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. You have to remember Mark Cooper

116
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: was the prize, I think, the biggest prize I think

117
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: out that was being dangled by teams, and the Cowboys

118
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: ended up with him. They had to give up a

119
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: big price for him. We get all that, but at

120
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it was a situation where

121
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: there were plenty of other teams out there that were

122
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: willing to give up ones and twos for Mary Cooper.

123
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: And that's why it's it's you could all mean the

124
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: flip side side, You could argue the Eagles just stayed

125
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: within their budget, like they're like, we're willing to give this,

126
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: not that, whereas the Cowboys were like, all right, we'll

127
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: give the one understanding that this guy's going to be

128
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: here for a long time. And so that's why going

129
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: back to when the Cooper trade was made, and I said, yeah,

130
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: it is an overpay, but when you factor in what

131
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: you're getting, I think you know and what you have

132
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: and what you have, it's you have to pay to

133
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: get something like Timing is everything too, because what's the

134
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: one thing people are saying that surprises him about Paul Alexander.

135
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: It's not that it happened, it was when, Why do

136
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: it now? Why not do it last week? Do it

137
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: going into your bye week? Timing I think affected everything

138
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: here because the Cowboys went into their by and really

139
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: wanted to have a player that they could kind of

140
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: groom to get ready here for a couple of weeks.

141
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: On top of the whole future thing, Philadelphia is now

142
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: going into their by and they're probably doing the same

143
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: thing with tape. If Detroit beats Seattle at home, which

144
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: they probably should have, but they're not as good. If

145
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: they beat Seattle at home, it's golden Tate still for sale.

146
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean Detroit has a decision

147
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: to make. They're right there at that division. I don't

148
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: think that they get rid of their best wide receiver.

149
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: But you know, honestly, I think Detroit is in a

150
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: little different situation than most of the teams that traded

151
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: away players because I actually think they believe because of

152
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: their second round uh, their second year wide receiver Gala Day,

153
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: I think they feel like, hey, even if we get

154
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: rid of him, they may even have wanted the increased

155
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: role for Gala Day and there and they had a

156
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: situation whereout like, hey, we're okay with letting this guy go.

157
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: We'll get some compensation for him, and at the end

158
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: of the day, we fock, we're just as good because

159
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: we still have two truly quality wide receivers on our team.

160
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: I agree, But I don't think they win. I don't

161
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: think they make the trade. If they lose, I don't.

162
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, if they win, they win.

163
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: If they if they win the game, I'm sorry, yeah, maybe.

164
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: So It's just it's just weird how the old timing

165
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: from the Eagles buy, Cowboys buy. But you said it

166
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: best just a few minutes ago, that when when everyone's value,

167
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, evaluating wide receivers. The prize of the group

168
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: was Amari Cooper, and the Cowboys outbid everyone and an

169
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: outpaid everyone to get them right. But they're in a

170
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: different situation because they need this guy. Yeah, I really

171
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: appreciate that. It really seems like NFL teams are changing

172
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: how they feel about making trades, which finally fun for us. No, well,

173
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: not only is it fun, but it's smart. I mean,

174
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: I hate to defend the Eagles, but I love the

175
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: thought process that they're like, well, we'll take this guy

176
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: for eight games, and if it doesn't work out, we'll

177
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: at least get probably a fourth round draft pick for him,

178
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: if not a third. It won't be till twenty twenty,

179
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: but we'll still get something back. Lions are the same way.

180
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: They're like, well, Galladay can step up and do this,

181
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: and in the meantime, we'll get a third round pick

182
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: for it. Cowboys, Okay, we'll give up a first round

183
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: pick with the understanding that this guy functions like a

184
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: first round pick, which for too long it seems like

185
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: NFL teams have just acted like those picks or these

186
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: sacred cows that you just can't part ways with. And

187
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that's true based on how bad most

188
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: teams are at drafting players. So winners and losers of this,

189
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: everyone wants to say who won the trade deadline? Who's

190
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the winners, who's the losers? What are you thinking if

191
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: you're Dez Bryant. I thought about that on my drive

192
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: end this morning, and I was thinking, either he is

193
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: just basically took himself off the market, or I have

194
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: a whole different opinion of what the NFL thinks of.

195
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: We would rather lose picks and get better, you know,

196
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: probably not better players, but more in shape players, NFL

197
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: ready players, I guess right now than to go get

198
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant. And the thing about that same for the Cowboys,

199
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: and the thing about that. The thing about that is,

200
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are a little different because they

201
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: got a different kind of player. They got a much

202
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: younger player. When you're talking about de Marius Thomas and

203
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: you're talking about Golden take, these are guys that are

204
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: thirty years old, right. Marius Thomas is literally Dez Bryant

205
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: exactly exact he was taking. So you're talking about guys

206
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: that are right there in the same age brackets. So

207
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: age is not a factor anymore. Experience is not a

208
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: factor anymore. It's more which one do you prefer? I

209
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: want this guy, you want this guy? And are you

210
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: willing up a pick to get this guy versus not

211
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: giving up a pick to sign this guy? And unless again,

212
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: it is a possibility that des was contact, He's Asian,

213
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: was contact and he said I have no interest. Maybe

214
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: that happened. I'm just saying it did. It does seem

215
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: a bit odd that he's still out on the street.

216
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: I have been hesitant to agree with Nick about this

217
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: all season because I love Dez as a player, and

218
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: I know how passionate he is about football. But I

219
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of choices but to think he

220
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: probably doesn't outright not want to play football. But I'm

221
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: forced to think that, like his value of himself is

222
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: so far out of whack with the league's value of him.

223
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: And he doesn't want to play enough to sign any deal,

224
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, he wants to play

225
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: on his terms, and everybody in the league is like, no,

226
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: not those terms, Yeah no, no, thank you yea. So

227
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: it's it's baffling to me because, yeah, I mean, I

228
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: have to believe if he was willing to just sign

229
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: a one year Houston probably would have taken I'm saying,

230
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: and so I have no choice but to believe that

231
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: he's the reason why he's not playing right now. It's

232
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: his decision. Yeah, well, I have a different question for

233
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: you guys. And like you said, Nick, there are time

234
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: in as a factor, and there are other factors playing

235
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: into this whole thing. But when you look at right

236
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: now and not worrying about the future, are you know

237
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: anything that would happen in the draft or whatever. If

238
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm the coaches, I'm concerned about what's happening right now

239
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: and if my job is in the line. So when

240
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: you look at these two receivers, as far as Tape

241
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: and Amari Cooper, who would have been the guy that

242
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: would have helped your team the most at this point

243
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: of the season. That's based on what you've seen in

244
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: the past from both of those guys. They're a little

245
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: different types of players. You got a great route running

246
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: player in Golden Tape. You also have no buttons ever,

247
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: really question, I mean, to me, he's about as close

248
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: as Steve Smith as far as body type and attitude,

249
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: And I mean not really. You know, a fan favorite

250
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: if you don't play, if he's not on your team,

251
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: he's pretty hated. Um he had which is okay, cheap

252
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: shot against shan Lee that has not been forgotten. I

253
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: don't think that's going to be the reason why they

254
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: didn't make the deal or whatever. But again, I don't

255
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: even know if Golden Tate was available when the Cowboys

256
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: were really trying to do that. Maybe he was, maybe

257
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: he wasn't. I think he's a better route runner. He

258
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: could help this team for sure, and he would help Dak.

259
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: But I think Cooper is kind of what they need

260
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: more of a guy that stretches the field a little

261
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: bit more. That's I just think to be willing to

262
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: part with a pick like that, And I understand the

263
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: Eagles will probably get a pick back in twenty twenty. Wait,

264
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm taking out the whole pig thing. If you're looking

265
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: at both of the players right now in the season,

266
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: who helps the Cowboys the most? Who would have helped

267
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys the most? I can't. I mean, you have

268
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: you have to weigh those things. You have to. You're

269
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: just like, well, you can have one or the other.

270
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 1: I mean that, I don't know. That's not the way

271
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: that works well. Draft guy Like, to me, I'm worried

272
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: about the now, the present. Yeah, the can't. The reason

273
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: Cooper makes more senses because he's guaranteed to be here

274
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: for longer. That's and so Golden Tate could be significantly

275
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: better than Cooper, which I don't think he is, but

276
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: he could be significantly better. But I'll still take the

277
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna be here for twenty five games over eight.

278
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: I just I mean, that's math, and I'm not even

279
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: good at math. Well, I will say, I get what

280
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: you're saying. I think what you're what you're trying to

281
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: get at really is just like, who is a better

282
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: player for the Cowboys right now? You throw him on

283
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: the field, who immediately helps what the Cowboys do be better? Right?

284
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: And and so I look at it from a couple

285
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: I think Nick made some good points there, but I

286
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: think you also, if you want to look at the

287
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: flip side of that, he's also a guy that can

288
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: move the chains for you. So when the Cowboys in

289
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: games where they can't seem to move the ball and

290
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: they can't get anything going, they can't convert third downs,

291
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: he's a guy that can move the change for you.

292
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: He's also a guy that is really good in a

293
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: slot and block pretty well. So if you're a running team,

294
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: maybe having that guy out there, you get a little

295
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: bit more than you would say having Cole and slot

296
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: and you're trying to run out there where he is.

297
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: We know how much the Cowboys love to motion guys

298
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: in and then try to run on that same side.

299
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: Maybe he gives you a little bit more there from

300
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: the standpoint of your running game and you're run blocking again.

301
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a matter of the flavor that

302
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: you want, right because I agree wholeheartedly with you, like

303
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: his ability to go down feel would be a value

304
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: for this team as well Cooper. So I think it's

305
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: really kind of what you prefer. Which one do you

306
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: would you like to have, because both of them could,

307
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: I think, add a lot to your team where you

308
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: are right now. And that also just tells you a

309
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: little bit about the receiving corps you currently have. There

310
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: are a lot of different ways you can improve that,

311
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: and both those guys could improve it in different ways. Yeah,

312
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean, both guys are going to be easily the

313
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: number one receiver immediately on the team just because of

314
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: what you said, what they have. I think if the

315
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: Eagles don't win the super Bowl and they don't resign him,

316
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that people will view this as the

317
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: Eagles got a better deal, because if I don't think

318
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: he'll put up stats, I think his stats will go

319
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: down because what Detroit was doing with Stafford and all that.

320
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't think wins is going to just try to

321
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: get him the ball. They can still have Jeffrey that

322
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: they like, They have orts, they have a lot of

323
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: different ways they like to move. He might be a

324
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: really good player for them and might be a missing piece,

325
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: but he'll do it with less catches and less yards

326
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: because of what the way that they're structured. I'm still surprised.

327
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: If you're a fantasy owner, you're probably not happy about

328
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: This is really what I'm trying to say. If you

329
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: have Gold that if you have Gold Tate, but he

330
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: still might be really good for them, but it won't

331
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: be the same eight catches for one hundred and fourteen

332
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown every game. I honestly think that

333
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: the teams in this division went they went the opposite

334
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: of what I thought. I mean, obvious they know their

335
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: needs better than I do, but I think Washington could

336
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: probably use Golden Tate more than the Eagles at a

337
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: good point, the Eagles could use Haha, Clinton Dicks more

338
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: than Washington. Yeah. Without Rodney McCloud, their secondary has kind

339
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: of fallen apart. The Boys needed both. The Cowboys not

340
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: so much Tad after the Cooper deal, but I mean

341
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: fourth round pick for ha ha Clinton Dix, even if

342
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: he struggled this year and even if he won't resign

343
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: in the off season, I would do that. But you know,

344
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: that's actually that was one trade. That was actually the

345
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: one trade that I was a little bit like, I

346
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: don't know about that. And the reason why is because

347
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: you look at most of the teams that traded away players,

348
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: they're pretty much done for the year. They don't think

349
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: they're going very very far, and so this was a

350
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: way for them to get value in a year for

351
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: next year, in a year where they're not going to

352
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: really do much. Packers are clearly a playoff team in

353
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: my opinion. There you don't think so with Aaron Rodgers.

354
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: I think they're always a playoff playoff contender. Yeah, that's

355
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. I think playoff contender and playoff

356
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: team are different things, but okay, let's give up. But yeah,

357
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: the point is when you got Aaron Rodgers, if you

358
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: talk to anybody in Green Bay, I'm sure they still

359
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: feel like, right now, we're where we want to be.

360
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: We're fine, we have an opportunity to get to the

361
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: playoffs and then make our way. My point is for

362
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: them to give up a that kind of player says

363
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: to me that they don't think he's into them winning now.

364
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: And that's the part that made me think, well, is

365
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: Washington getting damaged goods to some degree because they're willing

366
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: to give up a team that considers themselves a playoff

367
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: contender is willing to give him up in the middle

368
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: of the season. I think it's I think both of

369
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: the guys the Packers traded and we know for a

370
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: fact Tim Montgomery, but haha too is I think they're

371
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: both guys that were just on the outs with the

372
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: organization problem children. I mean, it was not that it

373
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: was a couple of weeks ago that haha was like, yeah,

374
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: this is probably my last year here, so just get

375
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: rid of it. And if he was, if he was

376
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, you put up with that. But he's not.

377
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: He's still a pretty good player, but not better to

378
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: not have him in that locker room for the return

379
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: than to worry about all that. That's what I think.

380
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: So ye, also, you listening, I hope this discussion helps

381
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: you form a better idea of what these traits mean

382
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, saying hopefully if make you feel a

383
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: little bit better about the Amari Cooper trade versus the

384
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: Golden Tate, I feel like, I mean, yeah, and that's

385
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: it's way too early to declare a winner or a loser, Like,

386
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: if that's what you're trying to like, that's my point

387
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: is like people who are trying to do that just

388
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: have an agenda, either pro Cowboys or anti But it's

389
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: stupid to sit here and act like the Cowboys did

390
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: this unbelievably stupid thing or unbelievably smart. Yeah no, absolutely, yeah,

391
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean people who push that agenda are just trying

392
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: to get retweets. In my opinion, Yeah, let's take our

393
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: first break and when we come back, we'll dive into

394
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: the Tennessee offense. If you're like me and you love

395
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have a thing, then cutting the

396
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: chord is scary. But then I found out I could

Speaker 1: out on the field that you really find out what

427
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more

428
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: than just stats and scouting reports when building their team.

429
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,760

Speaker 1: more than just specs and features. You've got to take

431
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: it out and put it to the test. The Cowboys

432
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: did when they named John Dear their official tractor experience

433

Speaker 1: one for yourself. Visit my John Deardealer dot com slash football.

434
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: Back to the Break, all right, this is the second

435
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: segment of the Break, and the Cowboys do have a

436
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: game to play this weekend. They're going to be facing

437
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans at home, which should mean that it's

438
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: gonna be good if it's at home, right, according to

439
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: what we've seen so far. So Dave, let's start talking

440
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: about the offense and what they have to bring. Stop

441
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: me if this sounds familiar. You got a Tennessee Titans

442
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: offense that has sunk a lot of resources into its

443
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: offensive line. But okay, stop, yeah, that does sound familiar.

444
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: Can you let me ruin it? You said, stop if

445
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: it's ruined the effect of the whole thing, Uh, a

446
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: lot of resources into its offensive line is not playing

447
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: like the Jugger, not that it's supposed to be. Uh.

448
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: They have a highly touted young quarterback who has played

449
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: at a Pro Bowl level at one point in his career,

450
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: but kind of looks like he's lacking in confidence, a

451
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: no name receiver corps uh, and a couple of really

452
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: talented running backs who are playing pretty well but could

453
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: be playing better if their offensive line was doing better.

454
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: There's one more really good they have right now. It's true.

455
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Well. Uh. And so as you

456
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: might not, as you might not be surprised to hear,

457
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: the Titans look a lot like the Cowboys, uh, statistically

458
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: and personnel wise, Um, they're thirtieth in offense, like they're

459
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: literally they're not as good running the ball as the

460
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys are. Because the Cowboys are still really good and

461
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: Zeke is better than Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry put

462
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: together their thirtieth in yards per game, their thirtieth in

463
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: passing yards, which is one below the Cowboys. I believe.

464
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys moved up to twenty ninth eighteenth

465
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: and rushing offense. In scoring offense, they're scoring fifteen points

466
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, how bad you have to In other words,

467
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys win just by default because the Cowboys only

468
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: given up what how many they've given up? Seventeen point two.

469
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: This game's at home, Cowboys. Cowboys are gonna win this game.

470
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: And also tam Last words, Tennessee, though it was a

471
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: team you're gonna talk about their wide receivers, Tennessee was

472
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: the team that I believe wanted Cooper for a first

473
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: round pick. Oh, and that's actually that is makes some sense.

474
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 1: That is, you know, I try to I follow at

475
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: least one beat writer for every team in the league,

476
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: and I like to think I keep a pretty good

477
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: pulse on all of that like Tennessee, their fan base

478
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: and their media are kind of perplexed that why the

479
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: Titans didn't try to improve this receiver corps because you

480
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: got you got Taija Sharpe. Uh you got. Yeah, He's

481
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: a mid round pick from a couple of years ago.

482
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: He's easily he's been their best receiver at this point

483
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: in the season. Isn't saying a lot which And hey,

484
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: it's not like they haven't tried because Corey Davis believe,

485
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: the number three overall pick out of Western Michigan lost

486
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: this rookie season due to injury. He hasn't been bad.

487
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: He had a really clutch touchdown in overtime against Philly

488
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: to beat them, but hasn't been great. Taywan Taylor, Um,

489
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: there receives a worse than the Cowboys, aren't they. It's

490
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: well not anymore because the Cowboys or something. No, no,

491
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: you know what this reminds me. Has just reminded me

492
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: of other days of of of Jason Tucker and who

493
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: was who was the other guy that whatever? I think

494
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: he's from Texas A and m Commerce or something. Tall

495
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: guy razzle. Yeah, like just your receivers are just guys

496
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: that are just like he has no idea who they are.

497
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 1: Here's here's a statum that was a little better than

498
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: those guys. The tight The Titans have five passing touchdowns

499
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: this year. Three of them are two wide receivers. One

500
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: is to a tight end and the other one is

501
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: to a safety that came on a fake punt. Like

502
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: they're todown I believe so, yes, it's it's nine. They

503
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: had nine for the year. Total is yeah. No, I

504
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: mean they run, they run the ball, but honest like

505
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: they're not. They're not as good at it as a

506
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: team that looks like this needs to be. And that's

507
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: really where I want to focus this thing is we

508
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: complain about the Cowboys obsession with the tight end position.

509
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: These dudes, I don't know if this is a Mike

510
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: Vrabel thing, but like they are obsessed with tight ends.

511
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: And the funny thing is Delaney Walkers on ir and

512
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: by the way, he changes this offense appreciably better. He

513
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: is a really good tight end. He is an under

514
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: He is one of the league's most undergo players in

515
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: my opinion. The Titans run twelve personnel thirty four percent

516
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: of the time. That is the second most in the

517
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: the NFL. Wow. They run thirteen personnel ten percent of

518
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: the time, which is the third most. So they have two,

519
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: if not three tight ends on the field half the time.

520
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: What basically the tight ends? Uh, Their tight ends are

521
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: Luke Stocker, John Nu Smith who is a rookie, and

522
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: Anthony first ferk sir, who are you? Yeah? No, literally

523
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: I And the one time, the one touchdown to a

524
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: tight end was Luke Stocker. He caught the would have

525
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: been game tying touchdown in London last week had the

526
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: Titans not opted to go for two. But I guess

527
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: which was a call that I love. But you know

528
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: that right now in Nashville on the weekly show of

529
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 1: Tighten Up that they're they're saying ten Blake Blake Jarwin

530
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: and Dalton Schultz and Rico Gathers, who I think plays basketball. Yeah,

531
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: and then their guy goes, who are you? And so

532
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm my guy, Garius say, if you don't have a

533
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: show called tighten Up, you need to get a show

534
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: call tightened Upe. I think that should be a weekly

535
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: thing that we do. Here we go show, I mean,

536
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: like Nick, we do do that every week. This is

537
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: a segment. Yeah, we're like, I mean, it'll be birds

538
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: Insider next week, um hot talk talk here, that would

539
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: be good. This is a team that is obsessed with

540
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: like smash miles, big personnel, but like they suck at it.

541
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: They they Dion Lewis is averaging three point yards per

542
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: carre three point eight yards Patriots, Yes, Lewis three point

543
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: eight yards per carry. Derek Derrick Henry, the big Heisman

544
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: winning beast at Alabama three point three yards per carre.

545
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: And this I mean Taylor Luan and run. I mean

546
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: not a slow guys. He he's basically a freight train.

547
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: Like he needs a mile and a half to get

548
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: up to speed. Yeah, like when he gets there, he's

549
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: pretty fast. But just just know this though, I'm guys

550
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: that split time and you're the big back, you your

551
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: your average per caryou is definitely gonna be down because

552
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: on second and on third and one, Dion Lewis might

553
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: have done some things. On third and one, he comes in,

554
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: gets two yards, gets the first down, and that kills

555
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: his average. You know. So if you if you're splitting

556
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: time and you're the short yardist guy, your average is

557
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: always going to be a little down. Yeah, I get it.

558
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. But for you to have

559
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: invested first round picks and Taylor Luan and Jack Conklin

560
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: and bring in a big free agent in Ben Jones,

561
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: And this is I mean, this was this. Oakland, Dallas,

562
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: and Tennessee have been the ballyhood offensive lines in the

563
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: league for the last couple of years. And I mean

564
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: to not average four yards per carry that sucks. Is

565
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: their offensive line intact or they they've had injury issues

566
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys. They've been I mean nothing like the

567
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys where a guy's on IR but Quentin Spain's been

568
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup. He didn't play this

569
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: last game. I know that they've moved a couple guys

570
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: around at times, but I mean the big three have

571
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: been there, So I mean the tackles are the strength

572
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: of the line. Yeah, they've allowed twenty two sacks, which

573
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: is one less than Dallas. Yeah, I mean it's it's struggling.

574
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: And I don't I didn't do a deep enough dive.

575
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: I can't tell you what exactly it is. But they

576
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: have not been playing up to the level that their

577
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: talent indicates. Um And I think, I mean Mariota deserves

578
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: some blame in that. Like I said he Mariota. Excuse me,

579
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: I believe you pronounce it Mariota Mariota. Um, he looks

580
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: like he lacks pocket awareness, lacks com lacks confidence, Like

581
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: he runs himself into sacks and takes his eyes down

582
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: from downfield, just like Dak has done at times this year. Um,

583
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: he locks onto targets. He's thrown some really bad balls

584
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: where like he just knows that's supposed to be my

585
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: read and I'm gonna throw it, and you're like, oh

586
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: my god, like that was a good decision. What's the

587
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: record again, They're three and four. They started they lost

588
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: first game in season one, three in a row and

589
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: then they lost. They've lost three in a row. So

590
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: I guess tomorrow streaky. When we're going to talk about

591
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: why they can win this game is when we talk

592
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: about the defense. Their defense. I'm watching their defense right now.

593
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: The numbers are impressive, but and I haven't done a lot,

594
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: so I don't want to get ahead of myself. But

595
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: like they're they're not jumping off the screen at me

596
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: the way like a Jacksonville does or I mean even

597
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: when you watched him on tape heading into that game,

598
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: they still look pretty impressive. Yeah, talking about their offensive

599
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: line again, didn't they give up or did you just

600
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: say that they don't give up eleven sacks? They have? No,

601
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: I've given up twenty two seven but against the Ravens.

602
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: Oh yes, eleven of those game against more against one team. Yeah, which, well,

603
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: but that but that's a big deal though. It absolutely

604
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: it's very It's very similar to the Falcons game from

605
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: last year of like you're gonna give anybody any help? Like, no,

606
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: that was first round pick? Just figured out and which

607
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: game was that? How two weeks ago twenty one? Just

608
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: like you said with the Atlanta game, My question would be,

609
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: is that now affecting future games like the game after that?

610
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: Is that when you were seeing the quarterback be less

611
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: confident and being a little more worried to take his

612
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: eyes down because now he's will get more work not

613
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: to London And yeah, no they don't know. I mean

614
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: they they should have won that game, and yeah, that's true.

615
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: They were they were yeah for two, and you know,

616
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: sometimes that's good, sometimes it's not. But when you're dominating

617
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: the second half like they were the Chargers and had

618
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: the momentum, you probably want to kick it and go

619
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: to overtime there. But you know, if you have a

620
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: sixteen hour flight and facing you, maybe you just want

621
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: to get home. I don't know. No, you want to win,

622
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: you win all that way. You want to know much.

623
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: But sometimes it's just easier to say I got him

624
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: two yards away from window right there. Yeah, I don't

625
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: have to flip a coin, I don't have to kick off.

626
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't do all that stuff. I just get to

627
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: And by the way, he may really believe like that

628
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: guy on the other side is better than us wherever

629
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: he gets. If he gets the ball, I'm not certain

630
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: that that we're going to stop him. I love their

631
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: decision go for two. I love it too. I didn't

632
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: like their play call. I don't know if you can

633
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: answer this, um, if you'll be able to remember, but

634
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: I'll try my best. Thank you. UM. There has been

635
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: IF with a few teams where you've described their offense

636
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: pretty similar, like the one you just described today in

637
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: comparing them versus the Cowboys. Out of those, if you

638
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: could remember, how many of them have actually been better

639
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: than the Cowboys, meaning actually what they what they looked

640
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: like going in going in. I thought, I mean, Washington's

641
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 1: offense is very similar to the Cowboys. Obviously they won.

642
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: Washington's offense looks better than this, though, Um, I'm trying

643
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: to think who else I know there's been a couple

644
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: do you guys remember that where when he's breaking down

645
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: their offense, he've kind of described them a similar way

646
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: than the one he just Houston said today. I mean

647
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: Houston didn't have a great running game. They also won. Yeah,

648
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: but Houston just because Deshaun Watson is so dynamic and

649
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: with the pre snap movement that they do, it doesn't

650
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: it didn't really look like Dallas to me. We talked

651
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: about this yesterday. A lot of teams what they look

652
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: like right now did not look like this going into

653
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: the game, and they maybe the Cowboys for the springboard

654
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: for Seattle, for Houston, for um um when maybe Washington.

655
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: We'll see, I mean they were kind of on the

656
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: fence anyways, so we'll see. It's a big game for

657
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: them this week against Atlanta. That's that's huge. That's huge

658
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,239
Speaker 1: for them in the division and also just for them

659
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: if they're gonna they're gonna really like take control of

660
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: this thing. Let's say they're gonna have to win those

661
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of games that can kind of creep up one one.

662
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: I'll start taking them seriously if they win that game. Yeah,

663
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: me too, um same way. Much like Dak Prescott, Mariota

664
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: is athletic. He's got one hundred and eighty five rushing

665
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: yards on the year. They do use a lot of

666
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: read option stuff more than the Cowboys. I don't know,

667
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: it's not I mean, one hundred and eighty five over

668
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: seven games. He's only averaging thirty yards per game. So

669
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: he's not Michael Vick out there, but he does have

670
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: that threat. I don't I didn't see as much run

671
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: pass option as you would think when you have a

672
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: guy like that. I think he has a ninety yard touchdown.

673
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that off the top of my head, Like, oh,

674
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: in his life, Okay, I was gonna say, damn, well,

675
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: it's only been in the league like three years. I

676
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: think it was last year or the year before. I

677
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: mean he had like a ninety one yard touchdown run

678
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: like on a on an RPO. Like you sure you're

679
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: not thinking about Terrelle Pryor. I don't know Terrell Terrelle

680
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: Pryor did that. Gets a little different the Steelers. I

681
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: believe he did it against somebody. Never mind, it might Age,

682
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: It might be Mariota. You just gave up so easily there.

683
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't watch JFC football, but I

684
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: really feel like Mariona did have a long run, like

685
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: a ninety yarder. But I don't know. It could have

686
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: been prior. Well, it's time for us to take our

687
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: final break and when we come back, we'll finish that up.

688
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: And it wasn't done. Yeah, we'll finish that up and

689
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: then you can send us your questions through Twitter at

690
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys Break. While the player can look good on paper,

691
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: it's when he's out on the field that you really

692
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: find out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys

693
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: rely on more than just stats and scouting reports when

694
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: building their team. When picking a tractor, it's why you

695
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: should rely on more than just specs and features. You've

696
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: got to take it out and put it to the test.

697
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: The Cowboys did when they named John Dear their official

698

744
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: I just wanted to fight, really. I know I bashed

745
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: their ability to run. But the things that concern me

746
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: about this Titans offense are, like I said, Mariota's athleticism,

747
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: not just in getting out the pocket, but what he

748
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: can do in a designed situation, whether it's RPO, read option,

749
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. Uh. And then Dion

750
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: Lewis and Derrick Henry are good players though, and he

751
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: throws to them a lot. I feel like the best

752
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: thing they do is leak Dion Lewis out of the

753
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: play and throw it to him in the flat, which

754
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: it's baffling to watch, like how many routes are just

755
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: somebody running five yards downfield and then facing the quarterback.

756
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: Like it seems like every guy that catches the ball

757
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: from Mariota is turned to him, which is frustrating. I

758
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: see the Cowboys do it with Zeke way too often.

759
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: But Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry both do that a lot.

760
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: They're both threats to catch the ball, and I bet

761
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: you they both will catch several balls. Dean Lewis is

762
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: especially scary because he's powerful and shifty, like he's more

763
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: People think of him as a scap back, and he is,

764
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: but he's more powerful than I think he gets credit for.

765
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: So are those are the three that I think the

766
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to have to watch? Because like, these

767
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: receivers and tight ends don't do much for me. So okay,

768
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: So is this one of those games where it comes

769
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: down to the defense again. I will get into the

770
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: defense tomorrow, but for both teams. Yeah, I mean the

771
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys have reason to be optimistic that their offense will

772
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: be better, but I need to see that. So and

773
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: and we'll get you. Like you said, we'll get into

774
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: the Titans tomorrow. But I believe they're wait. I have

775
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: it written down. Actually, the cow Boys are third in

776
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: scoring defense and the Cowboys are second. So get ready

777
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: for points. Come on, baby, offensive explosion. We like points.

778
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: You won that I'm first one to twenty wins probably yeah,

779
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 1: but and they play close games. Said that to finish.

780
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean last time I said that the Cowboys hung

781
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: forty on the Jags. So it is at home, Cowboys

782
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: thirty eight Titans ten. You heard it here first at

783
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: and t Magic. Ten's aggressive. I mean against this defense.

784
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: You're right, Ten's aggressive. But so I mean this it's

785
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: a it's a familiar looking offense. I think I think

786
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are it's well within them to keep this

787
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: team below twenty four, if not lower than that. Yeah,

788
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: all right, here's a question from Twitter and Dave, thank

789
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: you for that report. It was good Twitter. Yes, and

790
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: I have forgotten that the Cowboys are still with fifty

791
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: two guys on the roster right now. So are they

792
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: planning on added another player in there or what's up

793
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: with the spot? Yeah? They put C J. Goodwin on

794
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: um I R. I don't think they decided to announce that.

795
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: I guess yeah. On the bye week they're just like, well,

796
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: the team's not here, so whatever. Um wait, wait, so

797
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: it happened last week. I don't know happen. It happened

798
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: something now because he had surgery on like Wednesday, and

799
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 1: I think they were waiting to see you know if

800
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: if his prognosis was within the IR time table. I

801
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: probably figured out over the weekend that it wasn't. I

802
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 1: believe the plan is to bring up a player from

803
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: UM from the practice squad. Who are you bringing? I mean,

804
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: if you want to go with the defensive back to

805
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: replace that, I guess you could go with Donovan A. Lumba, Um,

806
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: Lance Lenor could be mentioned. You didn't need to do

807
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: a safety. Do you need another safety? Tyree Robinson? Perhaps

808
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 1: just asking? I mean, that's you've got four You've still

809
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: got four safeties because um, oh man, theon what's the boys?

810
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: A kid somebody I know you're talking about. I can

811
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: picture his face clearly, but I can't remember his name

812
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: right now. Um. I wanted to say Deonte Thompson, but

813
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: that's the wrong side of the Barrys Thompson. That might Yeah,

814
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 1: that sounds right. I knew it was Similarson. No, he's

815
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: he's on the he's on the roster. He's one of

816
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: the guys they say he plays. I don't know, but

817
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: dot if if he yeah, Donovan Alumba, that sounds like

818
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: a smart bet to me, or maybe Tyree Robinson, Yeah,

819
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: but not a receiver. Forget about Lance Lanor. I mean,

820
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: he just wouldn't get any time like he's being active.

821
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: I assume if he if they brought him up, right, yeah,

822
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean if they Yeah, I don't think he I

823
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: mean he might at some point be on the on

824
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: the team and if they decide to part ways with

825
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: someone else. But I mean, let's say they cut Deontay Thompson.

826
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: I believe Thompson on the roster of the whole year.

827
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: He had no well he was cut, but then he

828
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: was on the restaurant. He's yeah, they put him. He

829
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: was active for Caroline. He played, yeah, fourth down, he

830
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: was getting the ball, you know that. That that reminded

831
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: me of the Paul Alexander thing. Again. This just goes

832
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: to show just how much you don't want a guy here.

833
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean, his contracts guaranteed. I mean obviously he's paying.

834
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: You know, coaches are not on the salary cap, so

835
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter the same. But like you know,

836
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,479
Speaker 1: he has a guaranteed contract. I mean one year deal

837
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: for sure, and I probably had he probably got more

838
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: than that, actually more than one year. But that just

839
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: that just goes to show just how bad the situation was.

840
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: Is like all right, we're gonna pay you to leave.

841
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: That's basically what would happened. That That just goes, That

842
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: just goes to show just how much they needed a

843
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: change there. You know, my dream in life is to

844
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: get fired from a really expensive job. Not this job.

845
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't pay well enough. But like he's not a

846
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: dream because I want to get paid two million dollars

847
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: to go away. Like remember Derek Dooley, he was here

848
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: coaching receivers and Tennessee was paying him like two hundred

849
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month. Just to think you have two

850
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: million dollars skills. No, what did I say? I said

851
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: it might dream. I didn't say it's going to happen.

852
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: I want to. I want to get fired from a

853
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: five many media job. You gonna make two million dollars

854
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: a year. If Skip Bayliss can do it, I can.

855
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: I would have thought your dream. And that's a fair point.

856
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: That is a fair point. Hanging from the goal post

857
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: Saturday night, trying to bring it down because you just

858
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 1: beat Alabama. That would that shock you at all? To goal?

859
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: It would that shock you at all? If Lsu wins

860
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: and you're watching the TV and all of a sudden.

861
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: You see Dave literally on the goal post, like shaking it,

862
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: only because only that would not say. I don't know

863
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: how he would get up there. I got Bryan would lift.

864
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: I got climbing skills, and he's gonna hoist them up.

865
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: I got mad climbing skills. I'm like a little Koala bear.

866
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: Dave's up there, monkey said Koala Bear. Yeah they're well

867
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: because they're tiny and furry like me. He just kind

868
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:48,479
Speaker 1: of get up there. It's fine. The game, My my flight,

869
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: my flight at home from Baton Rouge is four o'clock

870
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and if we win, I'm not guaranteeing i'll

871
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: make it. I'll just push it back as long as

874
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm not optimistic, but it's not gonna stop me from dreaming.

875
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: Are you dressing up for Halloween? I'm dressing up for
