WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Cooper vs. Tate 0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:03.960 The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:07.160 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.879 a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely? 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:15.200 Ready for a break. Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:20.599 It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:26.920 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.960 Good morning, guys. We are back. I am back, I 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.720 should say, because you guys have been doing all the jobs. 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.800 I've been listening from the other side of the screen. Yeah. No, no, 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:45.800 Shannon Gross Yeah, yeah, I didn't even I didn't think 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.000 about it either until you just didn't thinking about it. 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.800 We were due for I mean, it's day's not over 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:53.680 yet for those people. For those people who don't know, 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.880 we're talking about last year. I don't know that it's 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.640 milk that it still might be online. But we tried 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:04.080 to scare Amber and Dave had Shannon under the table 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.679 down here and he popped up for Halloween. Amber of 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.520 course was kind of like, what like to fight? And 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.200 Dave was kind of ye. So it was interesting. It 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:20.440 was I didn't like it. I did not like Well, 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:24.880 Happy Halloween everyone. Um, yeah, you guys are not safe, 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.039 just not for the rest of the day, just for 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.000 the rest of the careful watch out for your back. 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:35.280 But anyways, we're gonna get into the Times later on, 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.760 but before we do that, there is a big debate 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.640 happening on Twitter after this Golden tape trade that the 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.840 Eagles made, and I wanted to get y'all's opinion on 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.160 that versus you know, what was the right move? Should 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.040 the Cowboys have got in Amari Cooper? Should they have 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.120 tried to get a golden tate? Was that the right move? 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.640 Of what does it mean for the Cowboys? I actually 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.080 love the way that Nick described this last night at 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.760 the Happy Hour Show. You remember what you say last night, 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.400 Nick about this um kind of what you're getting, like, 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.120 I mean as far as investment, Yeah, yeah, I mean, 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.160 and actually I think I got it really from Dave 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.639 so oh so sure, let's leave Well, well, Dave I 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.400 talked about rad I don't remember. No, Basically, this comes 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.720 down to whether or not you want to buy a player, 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:24.200 you want to rent a player, and that's what the 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.640 Eagles have done, and that's what I think the Texans 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.960 did with de Marius Thomas. That's what maybe you could 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.680 say the Clinton Dicks with the Redskins. You know, these 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.000 players one year left on their deal. They're getting him 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.840 for this year. We'll see what happens afterwards. This is 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.600 what you were gonna do if you got Earl Thomas. 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.480 You were gonna rent him and then hope to get him. 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.280 So it's not a it's not a practice that's that's unusual. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.839 The Cowboys are getting a guy for down the road. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.600 This was they get their first round pick next year. 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.359 They're just getting him now. That's the difference. So it's 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.120 really gonna be hard to evaluate it right now because 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.840 if you compare Tate versus cooper as as usual. And 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.520 I don't say this with the stain in my voice 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.919 because I love Twitter more than everybody at this table, probably, 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.160 but combined, yeah, no, I love it, um. But that's 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.360 just the way this thing works now is people people 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.080 are in such a hurry to have to have a 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.600 take or to have an opinion or you know, at 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.320 this you know, it reminds me of the dak Winz 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.959 debate back in twenty sixteen, like people are so eager 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.720 to have something to talk trash about that you know, 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.280 it can't it can't wait and that's I mean, any 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.959 trade requires time to properly evaluate, just like a draft 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:36.040 class does. The Cowboys clearly draft or traded for Amary Cooper, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.560 excuse me, because he's young, and he's a guy that 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.640 they think they can build hit their receiver corps around. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.280 The Eagles think Golden Tate is a guy that can 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.720 help push them to another level for another run at 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.960 the playoffs, and they probably don't care if he'll be 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.040 around after this season. If I had to guess, I mean, 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:52.760 they might try to resign him, but I don't think 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.520 it's a priority for them, Whereas the Cowboys clearly intend 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.840 on Amari Cooper being a key piece of their offense 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.240 for five to six years um. And so these are 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.640 two totally different trades. It's going to take time to 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.120 know who made the better deal, and that's fine, but 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.640 people don't want to hear that because somebody needs to 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.119 be laughed at, and that's pretty much what fuels most 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.240 of this. Peterson and Wentz will probably well will outlast 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:21.720 Golden Tate's time in Philly. Peterson and went and Wentz 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.679 and I Cooper will outlast Dak and Garrett here. Wow, 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.080 that is a big statement. That's what I think is 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.960 going to happen. The Garrett part doesn't blow my mind 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.840 so much. But I mean, and I see your logic there, 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.440 and I think a lot of people probably agree with you, 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.320 but I'm not ready to say that. I mean, you're right, 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:38.920 it's a little early, but I think it's very okay. 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.400 Can I also throw in what the other thing that 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.920 needs to be that needs to be I think remembered, 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.440 is that if the reports are correct, Philadelphia Eagles were 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.520 also in the market trying to get a trade for 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.760 Mari Cooper. They're supposedly we're willing to give up a 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.240 second round pick for Mari Cooper. So I don't know 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.320 if this is so much a and I think fans 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.200 are the fans that are making those kind of arguments 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.640 to trying to paint this picture of well, if Eagles 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.080 did the smarter deal. No, the Eagles did the deal 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.560 that was left for them. They wanted Amari Cooper, if 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.839 the reports are correct, just like the Cowboys, and according 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.800 to reports, many other teams there are a lot of 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.680 other teams that were interested in getting him. Now it 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.159 was a less price second round pick. There were some 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:16.920 other teams though, that were willing to give up first 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.760 round picks. The point is Amari Cooper was, according to 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.599 I think the just looking at the amount of interest 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.240 there was around the league for him, he seems to 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.400 be the player, the wide receiver of all these that 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.919 got traded, the one that was the most valued commodity 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.600 that was available. And so I think that has to 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.600 be factored in if you're going to talk about, well, 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.520 they gave up a three VERD to get that player, 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.520 and the Cowboys gave up one to get Cooper, and 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.080 you know, give it a FOD to get Damarius Thomas 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.040 and all that stuff. You have to remember Mark Cooper 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.560 was the prize, I think, the biggest prize I think 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.640 out that was being dangled by teams, and the Cowboys 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.000 ended up with him. They had to give up a 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.080 big price for him. We get all that, but at 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.560 the end of the day, it was a situation where 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.000 there were plenty of other teams out there that were 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.719 willing to give up ones and twos for Mary Cooper. 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.839 And that's why it's it's you could all mean the 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.960 flip side side, You could argue the Eagles just stayed 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.320 within their budget, like they're like, we're willing to give this, 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.800 not that, whereas the Cowboys were like, all right, we'll 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.599 give the one understanding that this guy's going to be 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.680 here for a long time. And so that's why going 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.640 back to when the Cooper trade was made, and I said, yeah, 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.000 it is an overpay, but when you factor in what 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.080 you're getting, I think you know and what you have 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.960 and what you have, it's you have to pay to 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.040 get something like Timing is everything too, because what's the 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.440 one thing people are saying that surprises him about Paul Alexander. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.160 It's not that it happened, it was when, Why do 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.360 it now? Why not do it last week? Do it 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.239 going into your bye week? Timing I think affected everything 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.719 here because the Cowboys went into their by and really 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.520 wanted to have a player that they could kind of 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.520 groom to get ready here for a couple of weeks. 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.000 On top of the whole future thing, Philadelphia is now 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.320 going into their by and they're probably doing the same 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:59.359 thing with tape. If Detroit beats Seattle at home, which 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.520 they probably should have, but they're not as good. If 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.080 they beat Seattle at home, it's golden Tate still for sale. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.000 I don't think so. I mean Detroit has a decision 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.080 to make. They're right there at that division. I don't 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.720 think that they get rid of their best wide receiver. 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.120 But you know, honestly, I think Detroit is in a 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.560 little different situation than most of the teams that traded 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:21.680 away players because I actually think they believe because of 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.960 their second round uh, their second year wide receiver Gala Day, 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.320 I think they feel like, hey, even if we get 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.760 rid of him, they may even have wanted the increased 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.240 role for Gala Day and there and they had a 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.720 situation whereout like, hey, we're okay with letting this guy go. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.680 We'll get some compensation for him, and at the end 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.400 of the day, we fock, we're just as good because 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.880 we still have two truly quality wide receivers on our team. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:43.480 I agree, But I don't think they win. I don't 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.880 think they make the trade. If they lose, I don't. 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.280 I don't know. I mean, if they win, they win. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.760 If they if they win the game, I'm sorry, yeah, maybe. 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.120 So It's just it's just weird how the old timing 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.480 from the Eagles buy, Cowboys buy. But you said it 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.760 best just a few minutes ago, that when when everyone's value, 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.960 you know, evaluating wide receivers. The prize of the group 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:07.160 was Amari Cooper, and the Cowboys outbid everyone and an 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.480 outpaid everyone to get them right. But they're in a 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.840 different situation because they need this guy. Yeah, I really 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:18.080 appreciate that. It really seems like NFL teams are changing 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.800 how they feel about making trades, which finally fun for us. No, well, 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.560 not only is it fun, but it's smart. I mean, 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.400 I hate to defend the Eagles, but I love the 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.680 thought process that they're like, well, we'll take this guy 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.560 for eight games, and if it doesn't work out, we'll 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.600 at least get probably a fourth round draft pick for him, 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.760 if not a third. It won't be till twenty twenty, 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.199 but we'll still get something back. Lions are the same way. 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.560 They're like, well, Galladay can step up and do this, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.320 and in the meantime, we'll get a third round pick 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.520 for it. Cowboys, Okay, we'll give up a first round 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.520 pick with the understanding that this guy functions like a 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.959 first round pick, which for too long it seems like 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.640 NFL teams have just acted like those picks or these 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.319 sacred cows that you just can't part ways with. And 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.400 I don't think that's true based on how bad most 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.840 teams are at drafting players. So winners and losers of this, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.720 everyone wants to say who won the trade deadline? Who's 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.240 the winners, who's the losers? What are you thinking if 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.080 you're Dez Bryant. I thought about that on my drive 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.640 end this morning, and I was thinking, either he is 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.040 just basically took himself off the market, or I have 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.520 a whole different opinion of what the NFL thinks of. 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.720 We would rather lose picks and get better, you know, 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:27.400 probably not better players, but more in shape players, NFL 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.959 ready players, I guess right now than to go get 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.319 Dez Bryant. And the thing about that same for the Cowboys, 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.040 and the thing about that. The thing about that is, 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:36.679 I think the Cowboys are a little different because they 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.360 got a different kind of player. They got a much 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.200 younger player. When you're talking about de Marius Thomas and 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.240 you're talking about Golden take, these are guys that are 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.360 thirty years old, right. Marius Thomas is literally Dez Bryant 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.280 exactly exact he was taking. So you're talking about guys 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.400 that are right there in the same age brackets. So 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.680 age is not a factor anymore. Experience is not a 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.959 factor anymore. It's more which one do you prefer? I 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.640 want this guy, you want this guy? And are you 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.120 willing up a pick to get this guy versus not 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.439 giving up a pick to sign this guy? And unless again, 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.680 it is a possibility that des was contact, He's Asian, 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.559 was contact and he said I have no interest. Maybe 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.040 that happened. I'm just saying it did. It does seem 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:14.760 a bit odd that he's still out on the street. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.360 I have been hesitant to agree with Nick about this 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.120 all season because I love Dez as a player, and 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.520 I know how passionate he is about football. But I 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.439 don't have a lot of choices but to think he 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.720 probably doesn't outright not want to play football. But I'm 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.079 forced to think that, like his value of himself is 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.240 so far out of whack with the league's value of him. 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.360 And he doesn't want to play enough to sign any deal, 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.719 you know what I mean. Yeah, he wants to play 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.920 on his terms, and everybody in the league is like, no, 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.760 not those terms, Yeah no, no, thank you yea. So 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.800 it's it's baffling to me because, yeah, I mean, I 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:51.760 have to believe if he was willing to just sign 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.600 a one year Houston probably would have taken I'm saying, 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.920 and so I have no choice but to believe that 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.439 he's the reason why he's not playing right now. It's 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.280 his decision. Yeah, well, I have a different question for 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.600 you guys. And like you said, Nick, there are time 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.920 in as a factor, and there are other factors playing 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.240 into this whole thing. But when you look at right 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:15.120 now and not worrying about the future, are you know 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.000 anything that would happen in the draft or whatever. If 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.280 I'm the coaches, I'm concerned about what's happening right now 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.920 and if my job is in the line. So when 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.960 you look at these two receivers, as far as Tape 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.360 and Amari Cooper, who would have been the guy that 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.920 would have helped your team the most at this point 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:38.960 of the season. That's based on what you've seen in 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.120 the past from both of those guys. They're a little 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.080 different types of players. You got a great route running 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:52.600 player in Golden Tape. You also have no buttons ever, 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.480 really question, I mean, to me, he's about as close 0:11:55.520 --> 0:12:00.760 as Steve Smith as far as body type and attitude, 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:07.560 And I mean not really. You know, a fan favorite 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.679 if you don't play, if he's not on your team, 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.760 he's pretty hated. Um he had which is okay, cheap 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.480 shot against shan Lee that has not been forgotten. I 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.360 don't think that's going to be the reason why they 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.720 didn't make the deal or whatever. But again, I don't 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.360 even know if Golden Tate was available when the Cowboys 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.200 were really trying to do that. Maybe he was, maybe 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.280 he wasn't. I think he's a better route runner. He 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.920 could help this team for sure, and he would help Dak. 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.520 But I think Cooper is kind of what they need 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.400 more of a guy that stretches the field a little 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.640 bit more. That's I just think to be willing to 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.920 part with a pick like that, And I understand the 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.920 Eagles will probably get a pick back in twenty twenty. Wait, 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.640 I'm taking out the whole pig thing. If you're looking 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.840 at both of the players right now in the season, 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.920 who helps the Cowboys the most? Who would have helped 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.400 the Cowboys the most? I can't. I mean, you have 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.800 you have to weigh those things. You have to. You're 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.280 just like, well, you can have one or the other. 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.719 I mean that, I don't know. That's not the way 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:03.240 that works well. Draft guy Like, to me, I'm worried 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.560 about the now, the present. Yeah, the can't. The reason 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.559 Cooper makes more senses because he's guaranteed to be here 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:15.559 for longer. That's and so Golden Tate could be significantly 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.480 better than Cooper, which I don't think he is, but 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.160 he could be significantly better. But I'll still take the 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.000 guy that's gonna be here for twenty five games over eight. 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.440 I just I mean, that's math, and I'm not even 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.319 good at math. Well, I will say, I get what 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.240 you're saying. I think what you're what you're trying to 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.760 get at really is just like, who is a better 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.240 player for the Cowboys right now? You throw him on 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:39.640 the field, who immediately helps what the Cowboys do be better? Right? 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.760 And and so I look at it from a couple 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:43.520 I think Nick made some good points there, but I 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.280 think you also, if you want to look at the 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.800 flip side of that, he's also a guy that can 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:49.839 move the chains for you. So when the Cowboys in 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.040 games where they can't seem to move the ball and 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.680 they can't get anything going, they can't convert third downs, 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:56.800 he's a guy that can move the change for you. 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.400 He's also a guy that is really good in a 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.040 slot and block pretty well. So if you're a running team, 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.120 maybe having that guy out there, you get a little 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.240 bit more than you would say having Cole and slot 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.440 and you're trying to run out there where he is. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.600 We know how much the Cowboys love to motion guys 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.840 in and then try to run on that same side. 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:17.880 Maybe he gives you a little bit more there from 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.800 the standpoint of your running game and you're run blocking again. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.840 I think it's it's a matter of the flavor that 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.720 you want, right because I agree wholeheartedly with you, like 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.080 his ability to go down feel would be a value 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.360 for this team as well Cooper. So I think it's 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.480 really kind of what you prefer. Which one do you 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.720 would you like to have, because both of them could, 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.320 I think, add a lot to your team where you 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:38.800 are right now. And that also just tells you a 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.560 little bit about the receiving corps you currently have. There 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.280 are a lot of different ways you can improve that, 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.360 and both those guys could improve it in different ways. Yeah, 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.000 I mean, both guys are going to be easily the 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.520 number one receiver immediately on the team just because of 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.760 what you said, what they have. I think if the 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:57.520 Eagles don't win the super Bowl and they don't resign him, 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.560 I don't think that people will view this as the 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.280 Eagles got a better deal, because if I don't think 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.200 he'll put up stats, I think his stats will go 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.000 down because what Detroit was doing with Stafford and all that. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:12.760 I don't think wins is going to just try to 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:14.560 get him the ball. They can still have Jeffrey that 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.000 they like, They have orts, they have a lot of 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.120 different ways they like to move. He might be a 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.520 really good player for them and might be a missing piece, 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.240 but he'll do it with less catches and less yards 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.720 because of what the way that they're structured. I'm still surprised. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.760 If you're a fantasy owner, you're probably not happy about 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.200 This is really what I'm trying to say. If you 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.640 have Gold that if you have Gold Tate, but he 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:36.480 still might be really good for them, but it won't 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.440 be the same eight catches for one hundred and fourteen 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.680 yards in a touchdown every game. I honestly think that 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.800 the teams in this division went they went the opposite 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.320 of what I thought. I mean, obvious they know their 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.840 needs better than I do, but I think Washington could 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.960 probably use Golden Tate more than the Eagles at a 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.360 good point, the Eagles could use Haha, Clinton Dicks more 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:56.680 than Washington. Yeah. Without Rodney McCloud, their secondary has kind 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.680 of fallen apart. The Boys needed both. The Cowboys not 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.920 so much Tad after the Cooper deal, but I mean 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.320 fourth round pick for ha ha Clinton Dix, even if 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.440 he struggled this year and even if he won't resign 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.920 in the off season, I would do that. But you know, 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.040 that's actually that was one trade. That was actually the 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.120 one trade that I was a little bit like, I 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.200 don't know about that. And the reason why is because 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.160 you look at most of the teams that traded away players, 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.400 they're pretty much done for the year. They don't think 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.720 they're going very very far, and so this was a 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.680 way for them to get value in a year for 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.320 next year, in a year where they're not going to 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.400 really do much. Packers are clearly a playoff team in 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.120 my opinion. There you don't think so with Aaron Rodgers. 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.800 I think they're always a playoff playoff contender. Yeah, that's 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.360 that's what I'm saying. I think playoff contender and playoff 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:43.440 team are different things, but okay, let's give up. But yeah, 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.640 the point is when you got Aaron Rodgers, if you 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.640 talk to anybody in Green Bay, I'm sure they still 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.640 feel like, right now, we're where we want to be. 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.960 We're fine, we have an opportunity to get to the 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.400 playoffs and then make our way. My point is for 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.560 them to give up a that kind of player says 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.320 to me that they don't think he's into them winning now. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.280 And that's the part that made me think, well, is 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.639 Washington getting damaged goods to some degree because they're willing 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.160 to give up a team that considers themselves a playoff 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.840 contender is willing to give him up in the middle 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.679 of the season. I think it's I think both of 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.679 the guys the Packers traded and we know for a 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.880 fact Tim Montgomery, but haha too is I think they're 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.320 both guys that were just on the outs with the 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.600 organization problem children. I mean, it was not that it 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.400 was a couple of weeks ago that haha was like, yeah, 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.280 this is probably my last year here, so just get 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.320 rid of it. And if he was, if he was 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.199 Earl Thomas, you put up with that. But he's not. 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:37.439 He's still a pretty good player, but not better to 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.119 not have him in that locker room for the return 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.160 than to worry about all that. That's what I think. 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:47.560 So ye, also, you listening, I hope this discussion helps 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.480 you form a better idea of what these traits mean 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.159 for the Cowboys, saying hopefully if make you feel a 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.200 little bit better about the Amari Cooper trade versus the 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.359 Golden Tate, I feel like, I mean, yeah, and that's 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.840 it's way too early to declare a winner or a loser, Like, 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:04.800 if that's what you're trying to like, that's my point 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:06.439 is like people who are trying to do that just 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:10.600 have an agenda, either pro Cowboys or anti But it's 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.800 stupid to sit here and act like the Cowboys did 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:17.840 this unbelievably stupid thing or unbelievably smart. Yeah no, absolutely, yeah, 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.520 I mean people who push that agenda are just trying 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.919 to get retweets. In my opinion, Yeah, let's take our 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.040 first break and when we come back, we'll dive into 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:30.160 the Tennessee offense.

That's why the Cowboys rely on more 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:08.560 than just stats and scouting reports when building their team. 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.760 When picking the tractor, it's why you should rely on 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.440 more than just specs and features. You've got to take 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.320 it out and put it to the test. The Cowboys 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:21.200 did when they named John Dear their official tractor experience 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:25.480 one for yourself. Visit my John Deardealer dot com slash football. 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.480 Back to the Break, all right, this is the second 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.399 segment of the Break, and the Cowboys do have a 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.119 game to play this weekend. They're going to be facing 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:42.880 the Tennessee Titans at home, which should mean that it's 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:45.520 gonna be good if it's at home, right, according to 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.120 what we've seen so far. So Dave, let's start talking 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:51.879 about the offense and what they have to bring. Stop 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:56.600 me if this sounds familiar. You got a Tennessee Titans 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.400 offense that has sunk a lot of resources into its 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:03.400 offensive line. But okay, stop, yeah, that does sound familiar. 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:07.639 Can you let me ruin it? You said, stop if 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:11.439 it's ruined the effect of the whole thing, Uh, a 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.600 lot of resources into its offensive line is not playing 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.480 like the Jugger, not that it's supposed to be. Uh. 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.240 They have a highly touted young quarterback who has played 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:22.359 at a Pro Bowl level at one point in his career, 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:25.600 but kind of looks like he's lacking in confidence, a 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:29.679 no name receiver corps uh, and a couple of really 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:33.560 talented running backs who are playing pretty well but could 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.880 be playing better if their offensive line was doing better. 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:42.440 There's one more really good they have right now. It's true. 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:46.439 That's a good one. Well. Uh. And so as you 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.480 might not, as you might not be surprised to hear, 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:53.600 the Titans look a lot like the Cowboys, uh, statistically 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:57.320 and personnel wise, Um, they're thirtieth in offense, like they're 0:21:57.359 --> 0:21:59.200 literally they're not as good running the ball as the 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.400 Cowboys are. Because the Cowboys are still really good and 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.440 Zeke is better than Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry put 0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.320 together their thirtieth in yards per game, their thirtieth in 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:11.440 passing yards, which is one below the Cowboys. I believe. 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:14.280 I think the Cowboys moved up to twenty ninth eighteenth 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:18.800 and rushing offense. In scoring offense, they're scoring fifteen points 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:20.840 a game. Yeah, how bad you have to In other words, 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.520 the Cowboys win just by default because the Cowboys only 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:25.920 given up what how many they've given up? Seventeen point two. 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:29.520 This game's at home, Cowboys. Cowboys are gonna win this game. 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:33.399 And also tam Last words, Tennessee, though it was a 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.760 team you're gonna talk about their wide receivers, Tennessee was 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:40.120 the team that I believe wanted Cooper for a first 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.720 round pick. Oh, and that's actually that is makes some sense. 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.719 That is, you know, I try to I follow at 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:48.840 least one beat writer for every team in the league, 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:50.960 and I like to think I keep a pretty good 0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:54.520 pulse on all of that like Tennessee, their fan base 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:56.960 and their media are kind of perplexed that why the 0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:00.320 Titans didn't try to improve this receiver corps because you 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:04.840 got you got Taija Sharpe. Uh you got. Yeah, He's 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:06.600 a mid round pick from a couple of years ago. 0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:10.040 He's easily he's been their best receiver at this point 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:12.960 in the season. Isn't saying a lot which And hey, 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:16.160 it's not like they haven't tried because Corey Davis believe, 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:20.040 the number three overall pick out of Western Michigan lost 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:22.359 this rookie season due to injury. He hasn't been bad. 0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:25.760 He had a really clutch touchdown in overtime against Philly 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:30.240 to beat them, but hasn't been great. Taywan Taylor, Um, 0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:33.480 there receives a worse than the Cowboys, aren't they. It's 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:38.000 well not anymore because the Cowboys or something. No, no, 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:39.800 you know what this reminds me. Has just reminded me 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:43.880 of other days of of of Jason Tucker and who 0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:45.800 was who was the other guy that whatever? I think 0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:48.800 he's from Texas A and m Commerce or something. Tall 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:53.600 guy razzle. Yeah, like just your receivers are just guys 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.520 that are just like he has no idea who they are. 0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:58.959 Here's here's a statum that was a little better than 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:02.240 those guys. The tight The Titans have five passing touchdowns 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.520 this year. Three of them are two wide receivers. One 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:07.600 is to a tight end and the other one is 0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:11.199 to a safety that came on a fake punt. Like 0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:16.800 they're todown I believe so, yes, it's it's nine. They 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:20.159 had nine for the year. Total is yeah. No, I 0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:22.199 mean they run, they run the ball, but honest like 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.080 they're not. They're not as good at it as a 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:27.400 team that looks like this needs to be. And that's 0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:30.199 really where I want to focus this thing is we 0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:33.680 complain about the Cowboys obsession with the tight end position. 0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.200 These dudes, I don't know if this is a Mike 0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:40.920 Vrabel thing, but like they are obsessed with tight ends. 0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:44.520 And the funny thing is Delaney Walkers on ir and 0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:49.159 by the way, he changes this offense appreciably better. He 0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:50.920 is a really good tight end. He is an under 0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.199 He is one of the league's most undergo players in 0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:57.399 my opinion. The Titans run twelve personnel thirty four percent 0:24:57.400 --> 0:25:00.080 of the time. That is the second most in the 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:03.639 the NFL. Wow. They run thirteen personnel ten percent of 0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:06.960 the time, which is the third most. So they have two, 0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:10.280 if not three tight ends on the field half the time. 0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.600 What basically the tight ends? Uh, Their tight ends are 0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:18.159 Luke Stocker, John Nu Smith who is a rookie, and 0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:22.360 Anthony first ferk sir, who are you? Yeah? No, literally 0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.280 I And the one time, the one touchdown to a 0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:28.320 tight end was Luke Stocker. He caught the would have 0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:32.040 been game tying touchdown in London last week had the 0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:34.160 Titans not opted to go for two. But I guess 0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:36.159 which was a call that I love. But you know 0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:39.359 that right now in Nashville on the weekly show of 0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:44.719 Tighten Up that they're they're saying ten Blake Blake Jarwin 0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:50.000 and Dalton Schultz and Rico Gathers, who I think plays basketball. Yeah, 0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:51.959 and then their guy goes, who are you? And so 0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:54.840 I'm my guy, Garius say, if you don't have a 0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:57.160 show called tighten Up, you need to get a show 0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.800 call tightened Upe. I think that should be a weekly 0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:03.000 thing that we do. Here we go show, I mean, 0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:05.680 like Nick, we do do that every week. This is 0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:08.639 a segment. Yeah, we're like, I mean, it'll be birds 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:14.600 Insider next week, um hot talk talk here, that would 0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:17.000 be good. This is a team that is obsessed with 0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:20.520 like smash miles, big personnel, but like they suck at it. 0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:26.040 They they Dion Lewis is averaging three point yards per 0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:29.600 carre three point eight yards Patriots, Yes, Lewis three point 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:32.800 eight yards per carry. Derek Derrick Henry, the big Heisman 0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:35.280 winning beast at Alabama three point three yards per carre. 0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:39.119 And this I mean Taylor Luan and run. I mean 0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:41.960 not a slow guys. He he's basically a freight train. 0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:43.880 Like he needs a mile and a half to get 0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:45.800 up to speed. Yeah, like when he gets there, he's 0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:49.040 pretty fast. But just just know this though, I'm guys 0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:52.440 that split time and you're the big back, you your 0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:55.359 your average per caryou is definitely gonna be down because 0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:58.439 on second and on third and one, Dion Lewis might 0:26:58.440 --> 0:26:59.919 have done some things. On third and one, he comes in, 0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:02.359 gets two yards, gets the first down, and that kills 0:27:02.359 --> 0:27:05.040 his average. You know. So if you if you're splitting 0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.440 time and you're the short yardist guy, your average is 0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:09.159 always going to be a little down. Yeah, I get it. 0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:11.679 I hear what you're saying. But for you to have 0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:14.880 invested first round picks and Taylor Luan and Jack Conklin 0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:17.119 and bring in a big free agent in Ben Jones, 0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:20.560 And this is I mean, this was this. Oakland, Dallas, 0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:23.480 and Tennessee have been the ballyhood offensive lines in the 0:27:23.560 --> 0:27:25.680 league for the last couple of years. And I mean 0:27:25.800 --> 0:27:28.920 to not average four yards per carry that sucks. Is 0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:32.320 their offensive line intact or they they've had injury issues 0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:34.639 like the Cowboys. They've been I mean nothing like the 0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:37.080 Cowboys where a guy's on IR but Quentin Spain's been 0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:38.600 in and out of the lineup. He didn't play this 0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:41.800 last game. I know that they've moved a couple guys 0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:44.119 around at times, but I mean the big three have 0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:46.080 been there, So I mean the tackles are the strength 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:48.720 of the line. Yeah, they've allowed twenty two sacks, which 0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:52.040 is one less than Dallas. Yeah, I mean it's it's struggling. 0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:54.840 And I don't I didn't do a deep enough dive. 0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:57.720 I can't tell you what exactly it is. But they 0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:00.280 have not been playing up to the level that their 0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:04.159 talent indicates. Um And I think, I mean Mariota deserves 0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:07.080 some blame in that. Like I said he Mariota. Excuse me, 0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:12.800 I believe you pronounce it Mariota Mariota. Um, he looks 0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:16.159 like he lacks pocket awareness, lacks com lacks confidence, Like 0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:18.440 he runs himself into sacks and takes his eyes down 0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:21.920 from downfield, just like Dak has done at times this year. Um, 0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:25.520 he locks onto targets. He's thrown some really bad balls 0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:27.679 where like he just knows that's supposed to be my 0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:29.920 read and I'm gonna throw it, and you're like, oh 0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:33.520 my god, like that was a good decision. What's the 0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:37.400 record again, They're three and four. They started they lost 0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:39.360 first game in season one, three in a row and 0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:41.080 then they lost. They've lost three in a row. So 0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.800 I guess tomorrow streaky. When we're going to talk about 0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:46.160 why they can win this game is when we talk 0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:49.400 about the defense. Their defense. I'm watching their defense right now. 0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:53.000 The numbers are impressive, but and I haven't done a lot, 0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:54.400 so I don't want to get ahead of myself. But 0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:56.560 like they're they're not jumping off the screen at me 0:28:56.600 --> 0:29:00.480 the way like a Jacksonville does or I mean even 0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:02.280 when you watched him on tape heading into that game, 0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:05.680 they still look pretty impressive. Yeah, talking about their offensive 0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:07.640 line again, didn't they give up or did you just 0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:09.800 say that they don't give up eleven sacks? They have? No, 0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:12.120 I've given up twenty two seven but against the Ravens. 0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:16.360 Oh yes, eleven of those game against more against one team. Yeah, which, well, 0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:18.480 but that but that's a big deal though. It absolutely 0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.880 it's very It's very similar to the Falcons game from 0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:25.560 last year of like you're gonna give anybody any help? Like, no, 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:28.040 that was first round pick? Just figured out and which 0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:32.480 game was that? How two weeks ago twenty one? Just 0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:35.280 like you said with the Atlanta game, My question would be, 0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:38.360 is that now affecting future games like the game after that? 0:29:39.120 --> 0:29:41.320 Is that when you were seeing the quarterback be less 0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:43.840 confident and being a little more worried to take his 0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:46.520 eyes down because now he's will get more work not 0:29:46.640 --> 0:29:48.240 to London And yeah, no they don't know. I mean 0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:51.880 they they should have won that game, and yeah, that's true. 0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:54.560 They were they were yeah for two, and you know, 0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:58.200 sometimes that's good, sometimes it's not. But when you're dominating 0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:00.960 the second half like they were the Chargers and had 0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:03.280 the momentum, you probably want to kick it and go 0:30:03.360 --> 0:30:05.160 to overtime there. But you know, if you have a 0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:07.480 sixteen hour flight and facing you, maybe you just want 0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:10.000 to get home. I don't know. No, you want to win, 0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:12.200 you win all that way. You want to know much. 0:30:12.240 --> 0:30:15.040 But sometimes it's just easier to say I got him 0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:18.120 two yards away from window right there. Yeah, I don't 0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:20.080 have to flip a coin, I don't have to kick off. 0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:22.040 I don't do all that stuff. I just get to 0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:24.560 And by the way, he may really believe like that 0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:26.760 guy on the other side is better than us wherever 0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:29.320 he gets. If he gets the ball, I'm not certain 0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:31.200 that that we're going to stop him. I love their 0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:33.520 decision go for two. I love it too. I didn't 0:30:33.560 --> 0:30:35.320 like their play call. I don't know if you can 0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:37.960 answer this, um, if you'll be able to remember, but 0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:41.320 I'll try my best. Thank you. UM. There has been 0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:45.120 IF with a few teams where you've described their offense 0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:49.200 pretty similar, like the one you just described today in 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:52.480 comparing them versus the Cowboys. Out of those, if you 0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:55.720 could remember, how many of them have actually been better 0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:59.240 than the Cowboys, meaning actually what they what they looked 0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:02.240 like going in going in. I thought, I mean, Washington's 0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:05.719 offense is very similar to the Cowboys. Obviously they won. 0:31:05.960 --> 0:31:10.200 Washington's offense looks better than this, though, Um, I'm trying 0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:13.560 to think who else I know there's been a couple 0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:16.960 do you guys remember that where when he's breaking down 0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:19.840 their offense, he've kind of described them a similar way 0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:23.000 than the one he just Houston said today. I mean 0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:28.480 Houston didn't have a great running game. They also won. Yeah, 0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:32.400 but Houston just because Deshaun Watson is so dynamic and 0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:35.920 with the pre snap movement that they do, it doesn't 0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:38.160 it didn't really look like Dallas to me. We talked 0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:41.000 about this yesterday. A lot of teams what they look 0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:43.440 like right now did not look like this going into 0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.040 the game, and they maybe the Cowboys for the springboard 0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:53.800 for Seattle, for Houston, for um um when maybe Washington. 0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:55.880 We'll see, I mean they were kind of on the 0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:58.560 fence anyways, so we'll see. It's a big game for 0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:02.320 them this week against Atlanta. That's that's huge. That's huge 0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:05.239 for them in the division and also just for them 0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:07.360 if they're gonna they're gonna really like take control of 0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:09.280 this thing. Let's say they're gonna have to win those 0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:11.520 kind of games that can kind of creep up one one. 0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.440 I'll start taking them seriously if they win that game. Yeah, 0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:18.200 me too, um same way. Much like Dak Prescott, Mariota 0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:21.400 is athletic. He's got one hundred and eighty five rushing 0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:23.000 yards on the year. They do use a lot of 0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:25.680 read option stuff more than the Cowboys. I don't know, 0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:28.120 it's not I mean, one hundred and eighty five over 0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:30.520 seven games. He's only averaging thirty yards per game. So 0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:32.720 he's not Michael Vick out there, but he does have 0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:35.680 that threat. I don't I didn't see as much run 0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:38.320 pass option as you would think when you have a 0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:41.160 guy like that. I think he has a ninety yard touchdown. 0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:45.240 I don't know that off the top of my head, Like, oh, 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:47.280 in his life, Okay, I was gonna say, damn, well, 0:32:47.280 --> 0:32:48.920 it's only been in the league like three years. I 0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:50.280 think it was last year or the year before. I 0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:52.440 mean he had like a ninety one yard touchdown run 0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:54.520 like on a on an RPO. Like you sure you're 0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.920 not thinking about Terrelle Pryor. I don't know Terrell Terrelle 0:32:57.920 --> 0:33:00.160 Pryor did that. Gets a little different the Steelers. I 0:33:00.160 --> 0:33:03.520 believe he did it against somebody. Never mind, it might Age, 0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:07.240 It might be Mariota. You just gave up so easily there. 0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:10.320 I don't know. I don't watch JFC football, but I 0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:12.640 really feel like Mariona did have a long run, like 0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:14.720 a ninety yarder. But I don't know. It could have 0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.320 been prior. Well, it's time for us to take our 0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:19.560 final break and when we come back, we'll finish that up. 0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:21.520 And it wasn't done.

While the player can look good on paper, 0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:30.560 it's when he's out on the field that you really 0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:33.680 find out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys 0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:36.760 rely on more than just stats and scouting reports when 0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:40.160 building their team.

I know I bashed 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:34.719 their ability to run. But the things that concern me 0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:38.840 about this Titans offense are, like I said, Mariota's athleticism, 0:36:38.840 --> 0:36:40.640 not just in getting out the pocket, but what he 0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:44.880 can do in a designed situation, whether it's RPO, read option, 0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:47.879 whatever you want to call it. Uh. And then Dion 0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:49.960 Lewis and Derrick Henry are good players though, and he 0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:52.000 throws to them a lot. I feel like the best 0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:55.040 thing they do is leak Dion Lewis out of the 0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:56.759 play and throw it to him in the flat, which 0:36:57.480 --> 0:37:00.560 it's baffling to watch, like how many routes are just 0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:04.520 somebody running five yards downfield and then facing the quarterback. 0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:06.719 Like it seems like every guy that catches the ball 0:37:06.800 --> 0:37:11.560 from Mariota is turned to him, which is frustrating. I 0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:13.680 see the Cowboys do it with Zeke way too often. 0:37:13.800 --> 0:37:16.600 But Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry both do that a lot. 0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:19.239 They're both threats to catch the ball, and I bet 0:37:19.320 --> 0:37:22.600 you they both will catch several balls. Dean Lewis is 0:37:22.719 --> 0:37:25.960 especially scary because he's powerful and shifty, like he's more 0:37:26.320 --> 0:37:28.160 People think of him as a scap back, and he is, 0:37:28.200 --> 0:37:30.279 but he's more powerful than I think he gets credit for. 0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.960 So are those are the three that I think the 0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:35.719 Cowboys are going to have to watch? Because like, these 0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:39.320 receivers and tight ends don't do much for me. So okay, 0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:41.239 So is this one of those games where it comes 0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:43.840 down to the defense again. I will get into the 0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:47.759 defense tomorrow, but for both teams. Yeah, I mean the 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:50.560 Cowboys have reason to be optimistic that their offense will 0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:53.360 be better, but I need to see that. So and 0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:55.040 and we'll get you. Like you said, we'll get into 0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:58.480 the Titans tomorrow. But I believe they're wait. I have 0:37:58.480 --> 0:38:00.759 it written down. Actually, the cow Boys are third in 0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:03.240 scoring defense and the Cowboys are second. So get ready 0:38:03.239 --> 0:38:06.880 for points. Come on, baby, offensive explosion. We like points. 0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:11.319 You won that I'm first one to twenty wins probably yeah, 0:38:11.320 --> 0:38:13.760 but and they play close games. Said that to finish. 0:38:13.760 --> 0:38:15.600 I mean last time I said that the Cowboys hung 0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:19.280 forty on the Jags. So it is at home, Cowboys 0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:21.919 thirty eight Titans ten. You heard it here first at 0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:25.560 and t Magic. Ten's aggressive. I mean against this defense. 0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:28.799 You're right, Ten's aggressive. But so I mean this it's 0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:33.000 a it's a familiar looking offense. I think I think 0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:36.520 the Cowboys are it's well within them to keep this 0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:40.480 team below twenty four, if not lower than that. Yeah, 0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:43.239 all right, here's a question from Twitter and Dave, thank 0:38:43.280 --> 0:38:47.640 you for that report. It was good Twitter. Yes, and 0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:50.000 I have forgotten that the Cowboys are still with fifty 0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:53.960 two guys on the roster right now. So are they 0:38:54.000 --> 0:38:57.600 planning on added another player in there or what's up 0:38:57.640 --> 0:38:59.880 with the spot? Yeah? They put C J. Goodwin on 0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:03.880 um I R. I don't think they decided to announce that. 0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:06.399 I guess yeah. On the bye week they're just like, well, 0:39:06.440 --> 0:39:09.560 the team's not here, so whatever. Um wait, wait, so 0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:12.960 it happened last week. I don't know happen. It happened 0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:15.640 something now because he had surgery on like Wednesday, and 0:39:15.680 --> 0:39:18.399 I think they were waiting to see you know if 0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:21.800 if his prognosis was within the IR time table. I 0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:24.319 probably figured out over the weekend that it wasn't. I 0:39:24.360 --> 0:39:26.359 believe the plan is to bring up a player from 0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:31.399 UM from the practice squad. Who are you bringing? I mean, 0:39:32.320 --> 0:39:34.160 if you want to go with the defensive back to 0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:37.920 replace that, I guess you could go with Donovan A. Lumba, Um, 0:39:38.120 --> 0:39:40.200 Lance Lenor could be mentioned. You didn't need to do 0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:44.920 a safety. Do you need another safety? Tyree Robinson? Perhaps 0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:48.879 just asking? I mean, that's you've got four You've still 0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:54.800 got four safeties because um, oh man, theon what's the boys? 0:39:54.800 --> 0:39:57.279 A kid somebody I know you're talking about. I can 0:39:57.360 --> 0:39:59.400 picture his face clearly, but I can't remember his name 0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:02.080 right now. Um. I wanted to say Deonte Thompson, but 0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:04.520 that's the wrong side of the Barrys Thompson. That might Yeah, 0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:07.760 that sounds right. I knew it was Similarson. No, he's 0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:09.640 he's on the he's on the roster. He's one of 0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:11.799 the guys they say he plays. I don't know, but 0:40:12.280 --> 0:40:16.560 dot if if he yeah, Donovan Alumba, that sounds like 0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:19.960 a smart bet to me, or maybe Tyree Robinson, Yeah, 0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:23.719 but not a receiver. Forget about Lance Lanor. I mean, 0:40:24.400 --> 0:40:26.640 he just wouldn't get any time like he's being active. 0:40:26.680 --> 0:40:29.080 I assume if he if they brought him up, right, yeah, 0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:31.880 I mean if they Yeah, I don't think he I 0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:34.640 mean he might at some point be on the on 0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:37.920 the team and if they decide to part ways with 0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:41.520 someone else. But I mean, let's say they cut Deontay Thompson. 0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:44.440 I believe Thompson on the roster of the whole year. 0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:47.520 He had no well he was cut, but then he 0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:49.799 was on the restaurant. He's yeah, they put him. He 0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:52.560 was active for Caroline. He played, yeah, fourth down, he 0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:55.000 was getting the ball, you know that. That that reminded 0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:57.759 me of the Paul Alexander thing. Again. This just goes 0:40:57.800 --> 0:41:00.719 to show just how much you don't want a guy here. 0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:03.360 I mean, his contracts guaranteed. I mean obviously he's paying. 0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:05.279 You know, coaches are not on the salary cap, so 0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:07.160 it doesn't really matter the same. But like you know, 0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:09.479 he has a guaranteed contract. I mean one year deal 0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:12.279 for sure, and I probably had he probably got more 0:41:12.320 --> 0:41:15.920 than that, actually more than one year. But that just 0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:19.120 that just goes to show just how bad the situation was. 0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:21.120 Is like all right, we're gonna pay you to leave. 0:41:21.800 --> 0:41:24.680 That's basically what would happened. That That just goes, That 0:41:24.800 --> 0:41:26.560 just goes to show just how much they needed a 0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:29.759 change there. You know, my dream in life is to 0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:32.640 get fired from a really expensive job. Not this job. 0:41:32.680 --> 0:41:35.520 It doesn't pay well enough. But like he's not a 0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:38.080 dream because I want to get paid two million dollars 0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:41.160 to go away. Like remember Derek Dooley, he was here 0:41:41.200 --> 0:41:44.160 coaching receivers and Tennessee was paying him like two hundred 0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:46.279 thousand dollars a month. Just to think you have two 0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:50.160 million dollars skills. No, what did I say? I said 0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:52.360 it might dream. I didn't say it's going to happen. 0:41:53.000 --> 0:41:54.800 I want to. I want to get fired from a 0:41:54.840 --> 0:41:57.600 five many media job. You gonna make two million dollars 0:41:57.640 --> 0:41:59.680 a year. If Skip Bayliss can do it, I can. 0:41:59.840 --> 0:42:02.440 I would have thought your dream. And that's a fair point. 0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:05.880 That is a fair point. Hanging from the goal post 0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:08.799 Saturday night, trying to bring it down because you just 0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:11.439 beat Alabama. That would that shock you at all? To goal? 0:42:11.520 --> 0:42:14.040 It would that shock you at all? If Lsu wins 0:42:14.120 --> 0:42:15.960 and you're watching the TV and all of a sudden. 0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:19.440 You see Dave literally on the goal post, like shaking it, 0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:24.160 only because only that would not say. I don't know 0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:27.680 how he would get up there. I got Bryan would lift. 0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:32.279 I got climbing skills, and he's gonna hoist them up. 0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:35.319 I got mad climbing skills. I'm like a little Koala bear. 0:42:35.600 --> 0:42:39.799 Dave's up there, monkey said Koala Bear. Yeah they're well 0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:42.040 because they're tiny and furry like me. He just kind 0:42:42.040 --> 0:42:48.479 of get up there. It's fine. The game, My my flight, 0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:51.320 my flight at home from Baton Rouge is four o'clock 0:42:51.400 --> 0:42:54.359 on Sunday, and if we win, I'm not guaranteeing i'll 0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:57.040 make it. I'll just push it back as long as 0:42:57.080 --> 0:42:59.080 you here from Monday. I got until seven thirty on 0:42:59.080 --> 0:43:02.520 Monday night. It happened. Yeah, anyway, I hope y'all went. 0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:06.480 I'm not optimistic, but it's not gonna stop me from dreaming. 0:43:06.600 --> 0:43:09.360 Are you dressing up for Halloween? I'm dressing up for 0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:11.439 cover four later today? What do you? What do you mean? 0:43:11.520 --> 0:43:15.400 I'm gonna be smoking? Jay Cutler, which version of smoking 0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:17.840 on the one that says don't care in the bathroom. 0:43:17.880 --> 0:43:20.279 You gotta you gotta just tune in, tune in the 0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:23.839 cover four later today.
