80
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: those things is all good. But let's get into it.

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: Wait one more things.

82
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: So are the kids also? No? Okay?

83
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: So so they still eat the turkey and they tell

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: you yeah, So don't don't believe nothing when people say

85
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: they know vegan like meat doesn't smell good and then

86
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 3: they lying, yeah, and I did it.

87
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: It's smell good. Oh god. It's about.

88
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: When them tell you when that chicken come out, when

89
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: that fried chicken come of, like oh man, I remember,

90
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: like Martin, just looking at it. Man, it's still smell good.

91
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: But last night, man, we had a game. I even

92
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: text the group. I was like, man, what a game?

93
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: What a game?

94
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: And complete back and forth for fair I will say this.

95
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: I will say this, and a lot of people with

96
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: complains about how Philly is getting it done.

97
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 2: I don't care it's pretty. I don't care if it's ugly.

98
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: I think championship level teams, especially when you can go

99
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 3: on the road in that environment and also in that

100
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: weather and pull out of victory. I was impressed with

101
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: what Philly did yesterday. I'll say this, and this is

102
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: this top to bottom of the league, receivers, running back,

103
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: all that, Okay, stats, all that stuff, It matters, right,

104
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: It just looks different, right, They're they're winning ugly. Looks

105
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: a lot different than Pittsburgh's winning ugly, you know what

106
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So so like when you when you talk

107
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: about those games and like, oh, this is just another

108
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: team that they just find a way to win at

109
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: the end, just like they're not like Pittsburgh. They're totally

110
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: different team, all right, they can figure out different ways. Hey,

111
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: Like I said, offense ain't rolling. Defense got you. We're

112
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 3: taking passing game aj B not rolling. That's why Jaylen hurts.

113
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: At the end of the game. He decides, you know what,

114
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: I'm just put putting on me. I'm running the ball.

115
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: They start running quarterback lead all over the place, and

116
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: then the game was over.

117
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: It was a hell of a game. But them drops

118
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: is crazy?

119
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 4: Nah cast a drop lesson right, but Na, it was

120
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 4: a heck of a game. Heck of a game, and

121
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 4: it was extremely impressive because you get to see Philly

122
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 4: and how they win in so many different ways. You know,

123
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 4: AJ Brown gets locked up. They was doing a heck

124
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 4: of a job on Aj Brown. Here comes a slim reaper,

125
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: Davonte Smith just catching over the top. I mean, it's

126
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 4: just so many ways, man, that you look at it.

127
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 4: First half, it seemed like that offensive line had you

128
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: have nothing for Kansas City like they was. I mean Colokis,

129
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: Chris Jones. I mean, they was out there just destroying

130
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 4: that that line. And so the second half they made

131
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 4: the adjustments, like you said, let's run a little bit

132
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 4: more with Jalen Hurts, Let's get their hand the ball

133
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: in Swift's hands, who looked dynamic once again out there.

134
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: So you look at it and they just find different

135
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 4: ways to win. And when you talk about making your

136
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 4: team better, because that's what they do all the time

137
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: at trade line, they make them better.

138
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: They got two acquisitions, all right.

139
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 4: They got the buyer the safety, and then they got

140
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: Robe as well to nickel back. Those two players might

141
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: have made two of the biggest players in the game.

142
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 4: You knock the ball out Kelsey in the rams, they

143
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: get the ball back byered over the top intercepts.

144
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: It was named home, it was and in and up man.

145
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: You just so you look at their organization, they find

146
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: different ways to win. They've got better overall so far

147
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 4: as in the regular season by you know, getting these acquisitions,

148
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: not just sitting on the town they have, and you

149
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 4: got to look at them and the teams that they've beaten,

150
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: and there's no deny that you got to put them

151
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: up there as a top dog not only in the

152
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: NFC but in the NFL overall. I mean just just

153
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 4: going a by the way they look and then you

154
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: say they still haven't even played like that game where

155
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 4: you're like, oh.

156
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: That's them.

157
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 4: That ball has not happened and they're still nine in one.

158
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: So that was extremely impressive. I will say this, I

159
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: think that is them. I think I think I think.

160
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: The best ball is figure out how the way to

161
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: win the game that they're in, and that's and that's

162
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: what it is. I think sometimes when they play a

163
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: worst team, you might see them score fifty or whatever.

164
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: But I think when it gets down to it. It's

165
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: that playoff type of football that they're playing of like,

166
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: hey man, it don't matter what happens, We're going to

167
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: find a way to win. And then I would also

168
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: say that battle between check and was it blanken Ship, Yes,

169
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: that was all he That's that's the type of when

170
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: you when you used to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers in

171
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens were raining up, like you started to

172
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: see stuff like that because Patrico run hard, yes, and

173
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: Blankenship was like, hey, let's see it. Let's see he

174
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: was up for it on the sideline, took him off

175
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: his feet.

176
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: So now it was it was an all around good game.

177
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: Like I said, but them drops, you hate to say

178
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: you guys, you guys as players, former players, doesn't matter.

179
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: I'm sure you can't turn that side of your brain

180
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: off where you are still dissecting team strength and weaknesses.

181
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: When you saw Philly, was there anything about anything you

182
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: saw in them last night that you were like, Okay,

183
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: that's something that the Cowboys may be able to exploit

184
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 3: in the future or that's going to be a problem

185
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 3: for them in the future.

186
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: Now, because I.

187
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: Think of offense, they moved the bar pretty pretty well

188
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 3: against Philly. But that's the scary thing about Philly.

189
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: Right.

190
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: We go out there and we had one of our

191
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: best office some games, and they just found a way

192
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: to win. How do we have just coming out of

193
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: halftime finding a way to put this team to sleep

194
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: and they have continued to find a way to do

195
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: it even looking back to last year, they're looking up

196
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: almost the same type of record, losing one game and

197
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 3: then they moved throughout the season. And he's just trying

198
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 3: to figure out how Jalen Jalen Heur's not healthy. His

199
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 3: knees bothering. Watch this, Watch this, let's run quarterback lead Swift.

200
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: They pick up Swift from Detroit and guy went out

201
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 3: there with reivers Smith.

202
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: Yes, no Swift? How the swift? Do he? Thirty one? Yeah?

203
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: So are you looking at him? He's not a you

204
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Anyway, a lot of yards last night.

205
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: Are you still mad about the trap?

206
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: Yes? Come on, anyway, listen.

207
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: They got a lot of different guys out there who

208
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: can make plays, and they find a way to use

209
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: use them whenever whenever they.

210
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: Need to, So shout out to them. They look good.

211
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 2: But we get to see him in a couple of weeks.

212
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: Man, I'm about to say and what you said weakness, Wow,

213
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: weakness Yes, overall like I said, I mean, you find

214
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: them different ways to win. It's gonna be hard, but

215
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 4: that that offensive line for the Eagles that first half

216
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 4: that Kansas City was eating on them like Chris Jones

217
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 4: was born the yeah, and the way they were able

218
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 4: to bottle that up. I think we have the same,

219
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 4: if not better rush than Kansas City. I mean, I

220
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: would say that you can go Parsons for Jones and

221
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: then you know, but everybody else's the secondary pieces I

222
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 4: believe are better here than they are in Kansas City.

223
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn, I think he's a better coordinator.

224
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 4: I think you can get after Phillies offensive line a

225
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: little bit and make things hard for for Taylor Hurst

226
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 4: back there. But the only thing they're gonna counter what

227
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 4: that is, all right, was hand anything off the Swift

228
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: and let's see what's going on because that's the weakness

229
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: of the Cowboys. So man, it's gonna be a battle

230
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 4: in a couple of weeks.

231
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: For self carries for seventy six yards was DeAndre Swift's

232
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: last night, and it was effective running. He didn't I

233
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: believe he scored. He did score touchdown last night. Jalen

234
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: Hurts scored two touchdowns, and that was what was impressive

235
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: for me. They were shutting down the past. They were

236
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: doing a lot of things as far as aj Brown

237
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: was concerned, but they could not deny Smith on the

238
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: other side. But when that offense got stagnant, and when

239
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: it got to the point where you're like, Jalen Hurts,

240
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: you're looking for him to have a moment. He found

241
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 3: little things to do, whether it was moving and change,

242
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 3: whether it was down in the red zone when they

243
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: needed a score, and that defense got tight, and there

244
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: were points in the game where I was saying, Jalen Hurts,

245
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: he's hurt just from way he's not playing like himself.

246
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: But then when he took the ball and took it

247
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: into the end zone, I'm like, man, that's championship level stuff.

248
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: And no matter how I hate on the Eagles.

249
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: I have to give credit where credit is due, and

250
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that side. That offensive line that

251
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: looked like they had some cracks in And to me,

252
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 3: I'm like, look, if dan Quinn's not sitting back salivating saying,

253
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: oh man, I got eleven, is going to eat against

254
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 3: this because they were putting press on them. Now, the

255
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: thing for Kansas City in the second half, I'm trying

256
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: to figure out how they go away from Pacheco, Why

257
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: did they go away? Why did they go away from that?

258
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: And what is happening with them offensively? Where they get

259
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: going and then all of a sudden it just shuts down.

260
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: They shut down in the second half, and I don't.

261
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: Know if it's coaching.

262
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's that's how I segue over to the

263
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 3: Washington Commanders, because every enemies offense, and you could tell, man,

264
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: there's something missing in the in the ingredient up there

265
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: in Kansas City that's limiting them offensively, even though you

266
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 3: got the.

267
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: Trying to say though because they open wow.

268
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 4: Historically, I mean, if you look at it throughout the

269
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 4: league or throughout the season, I think they're one of

270
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: the worst second half teams in the National Football League.

271
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 4: When you talking about Kansas City not making those second

272
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 4: half adjustments. Hey, when you look at it in the past,

273
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: it was like when Mahomes got off script and he

274
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: started scrambling around. There was Tyreek Hill, you know, fifty

275
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: yards down the way. You could just launch it up

276
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 4: to him. You know, even with Kelsey, it seems like

277
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 4: teams are figuring out, man, if you if you double

278
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 4: this guy, make the rest of these guys win, you

279
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 4: got a better chance. And that's what brings me to

280
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 4: the Cowboys as well. I'm glad we started feeding featuring

281
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 4: other people as far as Cooks. You know, you see

282
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 4: Gallup getting a little bit in there for because teams

283
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: are gonna do like they did Kelsey. They're gonna see

284
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: CD lamb and say, man, we gotta take this guy

285
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 4: out no matter what. I don't care if we got

286
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 4: to have two people, three people and we gotta take

287
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 4: this man out, can the other you know, secondary pieces

288
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 4: come up and still make this offense productive? And I

289
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 4: think that's something that the Cowboys have got to figure

290
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 4: out going forward, and they're doing a good job so far.

291
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: If you've seen you know, Cooks these past couple weeks

292
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 4: getting the ball, but they gotta make they gotta make

293
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 4: things happen when it comes to that. They got so

294
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 4: you got the week, I mean, you know.

295
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: Noa noah, yeah, but yeah, no, I mean that's the

296
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: perfect point of like and that's what we've been trying

297
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 3: to say all season of like, hey man, you gotta

298
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 3: find another way to win when they take away your

299
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: main way, right right, So if you're running the ball

300
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: how we started off at the beginning of the season,

301
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: and they take away to run, then how do we play?

302
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: And then we start to see that we had an

303
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: issue right going to bye week, change it around a

304
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: little bit. All of a sudden, we've been looking totally

305
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 3: different on offense. The thing that scares me about our

306
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: team is when we put it all on Dak when

307
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: it really gets to that time where the game is

308
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: on the line and you put it on your quarterback

309
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: like Philly put it on Jalen shoulders last night. Are

310
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 3: you gonna protect the ball and still lean on your defense?

311
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: Are you gonna go out there and you're gonna try

312
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 3: to do some stuff and end up throwing all type

313
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: of interceptions? Because that's what I appreciated from watching Jaylen

314
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: Smith yesterday. He's at my defensive ball. What I'm gonna

315
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: do is no matter what, I'm still gonna get them

316
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 3: a shot to keep us in the game.

317
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: And they pissed a shutout.

318
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: They pins it a shut out the whole time, and

319
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: then they come out and they're like all right now,

320
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: we have an opportunity to score and they win the

321
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: game because he made sure he protected the ball and

322
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: gave his defense who was balling, an opportunity to go

323
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: out there and help them win the game. And one

324
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: when you see jayalen Hurst go out there and he's

325
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: winning against teams with winning records, Now that's the one.

326
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: Come on, we just got lounge.

327
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: This is what we do and we for your point

328
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: about Dak is him protecting the ball?

329
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: Are you you're a little.

330
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: Pessimistic about putting it on his shoulders as you would

331
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: Jailer Hurts, who you are seeing now in those moments

332
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: rise to that level to be able to put the

333
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: team on his back. But Dak has been showing you

334
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: over the last couple of week weeks he hadn't turned

335
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: the ball over. He's protecting the ball. He's taking what

336
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: the defense is giving them. And when you have a

337
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 3: team like the Commanders that that's coming in maybe not

338
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: the same threat that you have from the outside with

339
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 3: Chase Young and some of the guys they got rid of,

340
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 3: but they still have pain, they still have alan, they

341
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: still have they still have an interior that can cause

342
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: problems for you when you evaluate the commanders. Does any

343
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: of that give you pause As far as our offensive

344
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 3: line versus that defensive line, Yeah, I mean listen, outside

345
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: of last week, we knew that still. Like when we

346
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: saw we were like, okay, maybe he's still coming off

347
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: that ACL injury. He's not as healthy as we thought

348
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: he was because he had some rough snaps. We talked

349
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: about We talked about Zach Martin yesterday. We know he's

350
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: gonna be great. We know he's going to have some

351
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: rough snaps, but you still worry a little bit depending

352
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: on who's on the on the other side of But

353
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: we haven't really been able to open up then the

354
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: running game as much as we want to. Like Tony

355
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: Poulard had some good runs last week. I'm not going

356
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: to say that we're a great running team, right, he

357
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: had eight great.

358
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: I'm right, it was really good. Mike McCarthy made the

359
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: face and all that, you know what I'm saying. So

360
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: it was good. I don't worry about them causing us

361
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: enough trouble.

362
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: For like dak to have to get sacked five times

363
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: any of that stuff.

364
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: Can they put some pressure on his head, Yeah, they

365
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: can put some pressure on us.

366
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: It doesn't scare me like a Philadelphia defensive line or

367
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: Kansas City defensive line, or now especially San Francisco defensive line.

368
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: It don't worry me like that. It's nothing we can't handle.

369
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: Is this a game though? For your wide receivers? When

370
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 3: you look at the commander's secondary, there's nothing on their

371
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: side that could possibly worry you with it. Kendle Fuller,

372
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 3: Cameron Curwzy tackling machine, Percy Butler, and Benjamin Saint Juice

373
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: I believe is his last name. What do you think

374
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 3: about that second with October?

375
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, they secondary is very very good. Now that secondary

376
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 4: is very gettable. Like you, like you said, you you

377
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 4: can get off, you can get the ball going in

378
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 4: the right direction against their against their secondary.

379
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: Only thing that kind of.

380
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 4: Worries me is man, when you look at Washington throughout

381
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 4: this year, I just feel like they had those games

382
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: where they're just pooh trash, like.

383
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: They just you know, look like garbage.

384
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 4: And then the next week Sam how Eric bin Me

385
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 4: got Sam Hoow looking like Pat Mahomes out there throwing

386
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 4: up three fifty yards and you know, four tubs. And

387
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 4: I feel like last week was that game against New

388
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 4: York when they look pool trash like you got the

389
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 4: Veto out there throwing for three hundred and three tubs,

390
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 4: Takwan Buckley running all over you.

391
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 2: Man.

392
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna come this week and be like, no,

393
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 4: we can't let that happen again. And so you're gonna

394
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: get the best out of the Commanders, And I feel

395
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 4: like you're gonna get the best out of how and

396
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 4: all those receivers as well, because they got it. They

397
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: got a nice roster when you look at skill position

398
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 4: and all that good stuff. So it's gonna be a

399
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 4: tight game in my opinion. We're gonna get We're gonna

400
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: get to that. We're gonna get to their offense versus

401
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 4: our defense. But what about that secondary? You think this

402
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 4: is a game where Brandon Cooks can eat. You can

403
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: get the long ball going over the top. There are

404
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 4: things that you can definitely create a mismatch with your

405
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 4: tight ends. Do I think our guys will be open?

406
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 2: Yes?

407
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 3: I think I think that Brandon Cooks is gonna be

408
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: able to get open a lot. No, no, no, no,

409
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be able to get open a

410
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 3: lot against the Commander's defense.

411
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,239
Speaker 2: I think that Ceedee Lamb is gonna have a day.

412
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be open.

413
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 3: They can try to double them all they want to,

414
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: but I don't think they're gonna be able to take

415
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: him away. Ferguson is gonna have a game. I just

416
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: don't know if we are going to continue what we

417
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: did against the New York Giants, okay and throw the

418
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: ball to the right, folks, because because listen, listen, and

419
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 3: this is not if they were throwing the ball at

420
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 3: jayln Tober and he was open, he was making big

421
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 3: time catches and it was like, oh, that's the reason

422
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 3: for us to keep throwing him the ball. I wouldn't

423
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: be I wouldn't be saying none of this. But we

424
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 3: saw this three point one him by himself in one

425
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 3: on one get locked up. Yeah, we watched the game

426
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 3: last week. He getting targeted at the target and there's

427
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 3: no separation on the routes. Like so when you get

428
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 3: into a game like this, Yes, I do think Brandon

429
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: Cooks is going to be open. I just don't know

430
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: if he's gonna get the majority of the targets like

431
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 3: he should. Behind CD four, he might if you're lucky

432
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 3: for thirty six. You know, don't play fans in football, right, So,

433
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 3: but that was what you were just talking about. You

434
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 3: were just talking about the fact that you have to

435
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 3: get other guys involved and not him. That's not what

436
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: I'm talking about. Who else? Come on, if you gotta

437
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: get up there, because you're gonna need more than just

438
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: your your main top guys. You're gonna need other guys

439
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: like a jayln Tober to be involved. You're gonna need

440
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 3: Schoolmaker who caught a touchdown last week.

441
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: You're gonna need him Allso, No, no, no, that's not true.

442
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: I don't believe that. Don't get him.

443
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: Believe you got Cde Lamb, Brandon Cooks, and Michael Gallop

444
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 3: at your starting You're gonna need all.

445
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: Of those guys. You already useing turping, you need more.

446
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 3: No, you know, at some point you're gonna have too much.

447
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 3: To have too much? We played too much, all right,

448
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: Get these guys involved.

449
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: Gallup.

450
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: For whatever we say about Gallup, he still finds ways

451
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 3: to make big time kinches when you need them.

452
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: All right, separation don't look the same.

453
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: But if you throw the ball to him, you know

454
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 3: you got a chance that he can at least make

455
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: a catch when he's covered. All right, Brandon Cooks is open.

456
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: Turping is showing that he deserves to be on the

457
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 3: field more than he has been. Because when he gets

458
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: the ball in his hands, the dude, you're trying to

459
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: figure out how many yards are gonna get it?

460
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: Fifty?

461
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: I wait for him to break one of them. Fifty

462
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 3: y'all touch down on But you know, like, nothing against

463
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: Jaylen Tobe. I just think he's behind all those guys.

464
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 3: Nothing against Jalen Turp. I think he's behind those guys

465
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: when he comes to route ball distribution. Well, let's take

00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 3: And that was a long read, but I guy was good. Fellas,

522
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 3: Lets switch on the other side of the ball and

523
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about our defense versus the Washington

524
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 3: Commander offense. I will say this, when I watched the

525
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: Washington Commanders, they look bad last week.

526
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: It's hard to watch that tape.

527
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: But one thing that they do have brothers that we're

528
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: gonna have to talk about, and that is when Brian

529
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: Robinson Junior, they're running back.

530
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: Like doing work. He is doing work now.

531
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: I don't know the story but behind him if he

532
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 3: took over the position for Antonio Gibson. But some kind

533
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: of way, this brother has come in and he is

534
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: making a name for himself. And if the Cowboys don't

535
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 3: watch it, he will definitely cancel Thanksgiving dinner. He will

536
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 3: make that turkey not taste so good. I won't be

537
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 3: having anything anyway.

538
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 4: And he's one of them backs, you know, that's giving

539
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 4: trouble to the Cowboys in the past.

540
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 2: One of them big physical.

541
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: Guys that are just through the agap three yards and

542
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 4: the cloud of dust, you know, a couple of times

543
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 4: comes down. Next thing you know, he busted a six yarder,

544
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 4: a seven yarder, and he's a threat out of the

545
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 4: backfield as well. All Right, the man has catches, the

546
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 4: man can do it. Always one of those you know

547
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 4: whatever three down backs whatever they like to call him.

548
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 4: So offensively for Washington, Man, they got the skill positions

549
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 4: in place, like they got the receiver, they got the

550
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 4: tight end, they got the running backs back there. But

551
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 4: I truly think they're literally one quarterback away, you know,

552
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 4: from being real contenders.

553
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: Years we've been saying that, and that's what it's been.

554
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: And that's what it's like. A lot they feel. It's

555
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 2: up and down.

556
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 4: I mean, Sam Howe is here. Like I said, one

557
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 4: week will look like Mahomes. The next week it looked

558
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 4: like the Veto, the bad the Veto. So it's like, man,

559
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: I think they're really one quarterback away. But this is

560
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 4: a team that you truly can't sleep on, like Carolina

561
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 4: and the Giants.

562
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 2: Like we say, man, you know.

563
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 4: You can't sleep on these guys, but we all know

564
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 4: they ain't no way, and you know what that they

565
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 4: should be able to beat the Cowboys. This is a

566
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 4: game where have you sleep walk, you know for a

567
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 4: quarter or two and let it be close in the fourth.

568
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 4: These guys can mess around and beat you. So you

569
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 4: can't overlook these guys at all. And I think offensively

570
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 4: they can give you some troubles if they have time.

571
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel the same.

572
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 3: I think, you know, we're still trying to figure out

573
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 3: how we are against a team that can really run

574
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 3: the football. And Brian Robbinson can catch the ball out

575
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 3: of the backfield.

576
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: He runs the ball well.

577
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 3: And Sam Sam Howells is like Fitzpatrick to me, He's

578
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: like the cop of Like, Okay, I know that we

579
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: could get three picks off this dude. I know that

580
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 3: we can, but I also know that we could give

581
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: up six. Like I know, I know that that is

582
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 3: a possibility. For some reason, when he walk into our stadium,

583
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 3: he just owned that day, like he could he could

584
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: just be rolling. I do believe that our secondary, no

585
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 3: matter how well he plays, we should be able to

586
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: be successful against them. But if you a slap slip

587
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 3: slipping or lacking or whatever. Any just I'm telling you, though,

588
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: this thing's giving not gonna be pretty. This is not

589
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 3: gonna be pretty, not for the defense, okay, because at

590
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 3: that point you would have a team that can run

591
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: the ball, quarterback that can throw the ball, with some

592
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: serviceable receivers. All right, So this is one heck where

593
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: how you felt against the New York Giants when I

594
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 3: kept saying, man, you chill and let me get this

595
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: the one that I feel that way. Can't sleep walk

596
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 3: into this one Thursday game. Short rests all that.

597
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: That's true. Man, this real quick.

598
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 4: But this kind of reminds me of when we went

599
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: up and played Arizona. And the only reason I say

600
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 4: that is they can spread you out like Arizona was

601
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 4: able to spread you out receiver wise, tight end wise,

602
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 4: and you weren't able to kind of condense that middle

603
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 4: of the field and get after you guys. And that's

604
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 4: the same thing with the Commanders. Offensively, those receivers I

605
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 4: mean from one to four, I mean they got speed

606
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 4: and the tight end can spread out as well. So

607
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 4: it's a tricky one. There's a triggy one when we

608
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 4: talk about the Commanders.

609
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 3: This is one though, when I look at your defensive line.

610
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 3: We've talked about the offense, our offensive line versus that

611
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: you know, their offensive their defensive line. Now let's go

612
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 3: with our defensive line versus their offensive line. And that's

613
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 3: where Sam how has been sacked fifty one times already

614
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: this season. Okay, so that mean he's taking major hits

615
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 3: back there, and you have a defensive front that is

616
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 3: right now getting after people. All Right, it's gonna be

617
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: a lot of one on one match ups because you

618
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: know the teams are going to have to try and

619
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 3: double triple team number eleven in the situation like that,

620
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: where my confidence is is that now you can make

621
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 3: up that space versus them with your pass rush, with

622
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 3: the way that you one is gonna start with stopping

623
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 3: the run.

624
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: Let's just yeah about that, because you gotta earn you

625
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: gotta earn that, right.

626
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 3: Let's let's let's start that stopping and run. Now that's

627
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 3: number one thing that we have to prioritize. Because we

628
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 3: don't stop the run, then that makes everything else for

629
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 3: them open up. And we do know that they have

630
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 3: a guy and Terry McClure, and that they call scary

631
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: Terry that you feel as though he is a matchup nightmare.

632
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 3: But Durruan Bland and Uh Gilly, I think with those

633
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 3: two cornerbacks, I feel confident in anything that the commanders

634
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 3: are gonna come with. What about the inside though, that's

635
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: let me let me deal with.

636
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: My joy first. Say.

637
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 3: I feel confident that that we that our secondary can

638
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: handle it. I still do know it's gonna be It's

639
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: gonna be a battle. Like I said, if the quarterback

640
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: is on and he can complete some passes right, or

641
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 3: if there's a little bit of time for him to

642
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 3: figure out how to get from red one to read too,

643
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: whatever that is, it'll be a battle. I don't see.

644
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: I have ultimate faith in dron Blade and Gilly. Those

645
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: are professionals on the other side. And then McLaurin is

646
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: still one of the top guys. He got speed, he

647
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: can make any catch. So it's going to be a battle,

648
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 3: a fun one to watch. Hopefully Sam how will come

649
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: in here sleep walking and we don't have to worry

650
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 3: about none of that. But you know, I'm sure we

651
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: can handle them, but they gonna get their catches and

652
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 3: Sam Howell, you know you got time, got to show

653
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 3: up a little bit let's talk about that inside. Let's

654
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 3: talk about your safety. Let's go ahead and move to

655
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: that that part of me in your nickel position, because

656
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 3: you do still have Curtis Samuel Jahan Dotson and like

657
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: we just talked about Terry McLaurin, does any of that

658
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 3: and we're talking about Lewis right now.

659
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, And when you look at it, I'm with y'all.

660
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: When it comes to the outside. We talk about Bland

661
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 4: and Gilly like there's nothing that those guys can handle.

662
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 4: They should be able to handle anybody on the outside

663
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 4: that that the commander can put up there. We talk

664
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 4: about the inside because, like you said, they like to

665
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 4: put McClory at the slough as well.

666
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: Dodson.

667
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 4: We all know how you know tricky it is to

668
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: guard him and Logan Thomas versus Lewis and maybe even

669
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 4: a Hers or whoever they want to put on him

670
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 4: tyday is that's the matchup to me where it's like

671
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to They're gonna have to bring the

672
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 4: egg game because that's slot, Like we both understand, that's

673
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 4: that position one of the hardest defense the positions in defense,

674
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 4: because it's just so much space. You got to play with,

675
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 4: So you gotta be on your leverages. And Jordan Lewis,

676
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 4: you know, he's a smart, very you know football IQ guy.

677
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 4: He understands leverages and all that good stuff. So he

678
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:23,959
Speaker 4: needs to stay on that because that's what I think

679
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 4: has been getting him beat these past couple of weeks,

680
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 4: is guys are crossing his face and getting outside on them,

681
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 4: and if he continues that, it's gonna be a long afternoon.

682
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 4: But if he's able to use his help in there,

683
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 4: like we understand linebackers coming down, safety is coming down

684
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 4: control in the middle of the hashes.

685
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: That's where all your help is.

686
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 4: So trying to funnel those guys back in there. But

687
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 4: we all know dan Quinn he plays what sixty five

688
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: percent man the man coverage, So they're gonna have to

689
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 4: bring their lunch pill.

690
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: It's gonna be back of the night BC.

691
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: Is there anything when you evaluate the commanders at this

692
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 3: point that skis and it's for for everybody. It does

693
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 3: anything anything about the command of skill? Nah, not on

694
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 3: a level where I'm like, man like, dude, that's man.

695
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 3: We gotta be like I think this defense should be

696
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: able to handle the commanders. I mean, like our a

697
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: game versus their A plus game. It shouldn't be a comparison.

698
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: So nothing scares me. It's just don't take them for granted.

699
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: Don't sleep when you walk when you go in there,

700
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 3: because they can and they will have the ability to

701
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 3: do your dirty if you do.

702
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: So.

703
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what scares me is is us not knowing

704
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: which Washington team is gonna show up, right. You just

705
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 3: don't know, So you do have to be on your

706
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: p's and q's and stuff. But you can still walk

707
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: in that game. And I feel you on like, hey,

708
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: our A game is better than the A game, but

709
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 3: they can make it a game.

710
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. If our best shows up

711
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: in there, show it's still.

712
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: Gonna be it'll be a competitive game like we did

713
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: just come out of Carolina game where it was seventeen

714
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: the team going into the four quarter. I think that

715
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: the Washington Commanders has they have more than the Carolina Panthers.

716
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: So we'll see how it goes. Like I said, these

717
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: short weeks are always tricky. Thursday night football always tricky.

718
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 3: Sometimes the best defensive go out there and give up

719
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 3: for is an offensive shootout. Sometimes the worst defense come

720
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: out and they shut out the offense. You just don't

721
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: know what's gonna happen. And I think that's gonna be

722
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 3: one of these because it's Thanksgiving, Cowboy football, It's Thanksgiving,

723
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: and this is a rivalry game.

724
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: You guys have played in this game, y'all know it.

725
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter whether Washington, that's what you said, which

726
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 3: Commanders is gonna show up?

727
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 2: And you know from playing in this.

728
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: Game they can lose every game and then show up

729
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 3: on Thanksgiving world beatings and.

730
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 2: That I mean.

731
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 3: And this has historically been this series, and this rivalry

732
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders has been around

733
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: since the Cowboys entered the league in nineteen sixty. The

734
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 3: two teams have faced off against each other twice and

735
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 3: since nineteen seventy, in one hundred and twenty four regular

736
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 3: season games, this series has even been decided by forty

737
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 3: Four games have been decided by two or more touchdowns,

738
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: fifty games decided by less than a touchdown, seven games

739
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: decided by one point, ten games decided. Ten game winning

740
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: streak by the Dallas Cowboys from nineteen ninety seven to

741
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 3: two thousand and two, so we did have a winning

742
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 3: streak over them, but other than that, I'm telling you,

743
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: the list goes on of these two teams facing off

744
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: against each other, and I'm telling the Cowboys have the

745
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 3: higher winning percentage against them. But this is going to

746
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 3: be a game that you cannot discount. So day, I'm

747
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: hoping that everybody has a good Thanksgiving, but boy, save

748
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 3: your dessert.

749
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: I can't imagine how upset you will be. Right now.

750
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: Me and Church came in here talking about it.

751
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 3: They ain't gotta worry about that.

752
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 2: Y'all playing y'all, y'all, man, I have got used to it.

753
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: I got used to when y'all come in here with that,

754
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, what, man, what are you doing?

755
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: But that's Look, that's the way this goes.

756
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 3: And you know that this is a rivalry, and man,

757
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,920

771
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 3: That's the sound of us magically transforming our smoothe bows

00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: Jesse holly Man. We talk about it anyway. Here we

821
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 3: go with this. How are you guys? We're chasing Philly

822
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 3: right now?

823
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 2: We are. We're chasing Philly.

824
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 3: And when you start looking at the when you start

825
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: looking at the playoff, when you're looking at the playoff race,

826
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: this is this day they closing it out.

827
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 2: They're getting strong grass.

828
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: As we go, and every game that goes by that

829
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 3: they win, you get a little bit further back. But

830
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 3: are you you guys played obviously? Are you clock watching now?

831
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 3: Are you in that mode? Are you saying we still

832
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 3: control our own destiny and we have to go in

833
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 3: here and obviously pull this win out because that would

834
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 3: be the only separator between you and them.

835
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 2: I'm not yet. I ain't.

836
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not you know, watching their record just yet,

837
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 4: because I understand there's a lot of games left it.

838
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 2: Anything can happen both sides.

839
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 4: You know, hopefully everybody stays healthy and all that good stuff.

840
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 4: But I'm not at the point yet where I'm like, all,

841
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 4: they lost this game, so we got to pick it

842
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 4: up another game down here, Not just yet.

843
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 2: Now.

844
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 4: This was you know, the final maybe three games or

845
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 4: two two two three games, and it was it was close.

846
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 4: Then I'm looking like, man, I'm tuning in these guys.

847
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 4: If they lose here, we can we can get that

848
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 4: jump on them. But in all reality, man, and I

849
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 4: know it's coach slogan and slogan and all that good stuff,

850
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 4: but you literally gotta.

851
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: Take it one game at a time.

852
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 4: I mean, once you start looking at in advance and

853
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 4: seeing we played them on this date. If we can

854
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 4: get these two games in quick, then that's when you

855
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 4: usually drop one. And that's when usually you come in

856
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 4: here sleep walking because you look in the head. So

857
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 4: they'll take it one game at a time. Mike McCarthy's

858
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 4: done a good job so far as a coach here

859
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 4: of making sure his teams are ready to play no

860
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 4: matter what the situation. So they'll be ready to roll.

861
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 4: And I don't think they're they're watching. They're watching the

862
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 4: records just yet, just not.

863
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: It's getting close, yeah, I think.

864
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 3: I mean, you dropped that game Arizona, all right, So

865
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 3: now you're in the position of like a control what

866
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 3: you can control, all right, focus on what you can control,

867
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 3: because really that's all that matters. You need some help

868
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 3: from Philly. You get to play them again, but they

869
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 3: still would have to, you know, drop another game. You

870
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 3: know they're going through their tough schedule, but right now

871
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 3: you're continuing to try to get better offensively and then

872
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 3: also sure up your ability to stop the run on defense. Right,

873
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 3: So I think that's what you have to focus on

874
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 3: to make sure, you're playing your best football.

875
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: Once you get into the playoffs, you.

876
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: Want to host a home games, and that's the thing, right,

877
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 3: But at this point, I said, you haven't. To me,

878
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 3: you haven't played well enough against really good teams to

879
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: even feel like like that is something you should be

880
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 3: focused on.

881
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: Focus on your next game.

882
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 3: And then if you get to that point to where

883
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 3: Philly drops a game and you get to play Philly

884
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: and now it really matters, then that's when you start

885
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 3: you start thinking about it. Then right now, no, think

886
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 3: about think about Washington. Y know, you're on a short one.

887
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 3: Sam how the band Sam? Not the good one, the bad?

888
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: Now this could be the Cowboys thirteenth victory at at

889
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 3: and T Stadium, And I mean, look, this is as

890
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 3: these games go on and you're looking at a three

891
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 3: game stretch here where you play all these games at home,

892
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 3: you could come out of this like really looking like

893
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 3: one of those teams that has serious home field advantage.

894
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 3: Could all right, last game that you have that you've

895
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 3: lost at home was to Tampa Bay Week one last year.

896
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,479
Speaker 2: That's nuts, that's nuts, that's nuts.

897
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 3: And so I mean that's that's what I'm talking about.

898
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 3: When when you start talking about Philadelphia and them winning.

899
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 3: How important is it in your mind, especially with AT

900
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: and T Stadium now becoming more that home field advantage

901
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 3: actually being a reality to you where you want some

902
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 3: games here because that could be the difference between catapulting

903
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 3: you into a championship and to an SB. It's a

904
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,479
Speaker 3: big deal, you know, like thirteen stretch, it's a very

905
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 3: big deal. But at this point, like you got to

906
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 3: figure out a way to earn that home game when

907
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 3: you get a to the playoffs. Yeah, we want, like,

908
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 3: we want to play a home game. If I'm coaching,

909
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: all right, if I'm coaching, the conversation I'm having with

910
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 3: my team whenever a playoff time comes in, it's still early,

911
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 3: it's still to be talking about the playoffs. Is we

912
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: need to find a way to be able to play

913
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 3: at home and on the road, right because you know,

914
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: realistically you're probably gonna have a road game. What travels.

915
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 3: This is why defense travels. Run game travels. I think

916
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 3: that's why Mike McCarthy's Folks was focused on, Ay, we're

917
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 3: gonna run the football because that travels, and we're gonna

918
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 3: play good defense because no matter what we're playing at

919
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 3: that travels as well. That's the type of team I

920
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 3: want to be. But hecky, y'all want a home game.

921
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 3: I will guess you can still get one without being

922
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 3: the number one seed. Right, yes, look at that that

923
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 3: wild card and you may need that. You may need

924
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 3: that because you go on. I mean you also got to.

925
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 4: Look at you know, the Lions, what they got going

926
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 4: on over there, But.

927
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: They get their game, get you got focused.

928
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 3: But you can focus on that, I mean because right

929
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 3: now I think that's who's compete eating for the buye

930
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: right right at this second, you still got seven games left.

931
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 3: Anything can happen, but right now Philly has the buy

932
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 3: and home field advantage I believe is Detroit would be

933
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 3: number two. It's crazy how one and two used to

934
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 3: be the buye and now it's nine one. That's crazy.

935
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 3: You know that two has to play on wild call weekend.

936
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: Now we used to be able to get off from that.

937
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 3: But something we've been talking about at Linton Man, we've

938
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 3: been talking about this team from week one? What is

939
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 3: the identity of this team? After ten games? Have you

940
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 3: guys figured that part out? About the Dallas Cowboys.

941
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 4: I mean, when it comes to their identity, you know.

942
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 4: At first, I'm thinking it's the defense, you know, the

943
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 4: strength of this team, which I still feel they are

944
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 4: the best unit.

945
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 2: Overall on this team.

946
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 4: But I feel like when you look at their identity

947
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 4: as a whole, maybe just offense, let's let's break it up, let's.

948
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:50,959
Speaker 2: Bak it up by because that's.

949
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 4: Identity of the I gotta say the identity and team

950
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 4: is Dak Prescott right now. It's one of his shoulders.

951
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 4: When you look at it offensively, we already know that's

952
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 4: what it is. Offensively. And then when you were in

953
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 4: your last biggest game of the year, Philadelphia, I would

954
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 4: consider us the last the biggest game that they had

955
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 4: up to this point because Samsrusco was before that, but

956
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 4: Philadelphia was the biggest game up to that point.

957
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 2: When and when that.

958
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 4: Time showed, it was Dak Prescott who kept this team

959
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 4: in the game and gave him an opportunity to win.

960
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 4: Did he cash in with that, No, But he played

961
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 4: unbelievably and kept them within striking distance. That defense was

962
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 4: showing a little bit at leaky. It was a leaky,

963
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 4: a little bit they gave up. I believe it was

964
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 4: a twenty eight point twenty eight or thirty one points

965
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 4: one of the two. So to me, I gotta say

966
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 4: the identity right now, at least right now. We all

967
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 4: know it can change. But I think it's it's it's

968
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott.

969
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, because I think when you want to,

970
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 3: I wanted us to have like this, this this this

971
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 3: identity of like we're a very physical team. We run

972
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 3: the ball, we played good defense, we stopped the run,

973
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 3: and then we forced we forced you to throw the

974
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 3: ball to us or we forced to takeaways. But in

975
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 3: order to have that that you have to have a

976
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 3: good physical running game. And at this point, I don't

977
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 3: think when teams are looking at us on the schedule

978
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 3: that's saying this is gonna be one of them games.

979
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 2: We got to buckle up our jen straps.

980
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 3: Like, I don't think that's the feeling that they get

981
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 3: when they see the Cowboys. I think it's more now,

982
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 3: especially with Dak playing the where he's playing. It is

983
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 3: for neess On offense, for sure. It's for neess On offense.

984
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 3: They want to play with the leader and then they

985
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 3: want to rush the passer, not necessarily get physical with you.

986
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 3: On defense. They want to find a way to create

987
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 3: some one on ones when they had the opportunity and

988
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 3: then change the game that way by possibly forcing sex

989
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 3: or turnovers. So I think our identity for me is, yes,

990
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 3: it's a little bit more for Neess, but it's leaning

991
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 3: on Dak more since they've come out of the babway.

992
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: Men.

993
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 3: It's something about that whole thing. It kind of gives

994
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 3: me pause because I believe your defense has been carrying

995
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 3: you a lot. And it's been because, hey, you get

996
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 3: a lead, you run your defense out there. You know

997
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 3: your defense gonna close the curtain or whoever's out there.

998
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 3: And that's what we've been relying on. And there's nothing

999
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 3: wrong with that. And I think we started off the

1000
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 3: season saying, all right, last year we put too much

1001
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 3: on dak shoulders, or maybe he showed it too much

1002
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 3: or thought he needed to play better. That's why you

1003
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 3: had the interceptions this year. I think he's he's under

1004
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 3: he's playing within himself and understanding that if I don't

1005
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 3: blow it, I don't turn the ball over, and I

1006
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 3: just put my defense back out here. My defense is

1007
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 3: gonna protect whatever lead we have. When I look around

1008
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 3: the league at other teams like Philadelphia right now is

1009
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 3: just getting it by any means necessarily is their identity.

1010
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 2: Don't matter how we.

1011
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 3: Gotta do it, we gonna get it done by any

1012
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 3: means necessary, if it whatever it is, if we gotta.

1013
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 2: Win by one point, we're gonna do it.

1014
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 3: And you look at other teams around the league, their

1015
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 3: identities are starting to show. Dallas is the one team

1016
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 3: to me that there's so much great area and what

1017
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 3: they are. Would you would you say that Philadelphia their

1018
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 3: identity is physical. They are going to try to win

1019
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 3: the trenches and then they're gonna keep the game whatever.

1020
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 3: If it's tight, then they're still gonna run the ball.

1021
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 3: If they behind, they're gonna run the ball, and they're

1022
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 3: gonna play good defense, good physical defense, and find a

1023
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 3: way to win the game. If I was gonna say

1024
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 3: a physical team just right off the back, I would

1025
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 3: say at the San Francisco for the now, that's a

1026
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 3: physical team. Yeah, that's a physical team that when you

1027
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 3: go into their stadium or they come to yours, you

1028
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 3: better make sure you snap that thing because that's what

1029
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 3: brand that they're gonna play. I think that Philly, for

1030
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 3: hall intentions and purposes, they have a little bit more

1031
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 3: finessed in that game because now you see a J.

1032
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: Brown being able to do what he does in the

1033
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 3: passing game. But I think that's the thing of like,

1034
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 3: I think that their main style of football is physical.

1035
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 3: The touch pushes them right, Like, they don't get no

1036
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 3: more physical than a man. Hey, we got two yards

1037
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 3: to get we line up is man or man right here,

1038
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 3: and we're gonna win every time.

1039
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: Like that is that is the most physical you can get.

1040
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 2: At that point.

1041
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 3: When we talked about we talked about Blankenship yesterday, the

1042
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 3: dude was because Pochecco and the Kansas City they are

1043
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 3: they are also a physical football team, and you saw

1044
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 3: they was matching that yesterday, right. So I think San

1045
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 3: Francisco Philly a physical team. I think Detroit physical to

1046
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: be a physical team, although on defense sometimes they do

1047
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 3: they're a little leaky, but offensively they try to get

1048
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 3: physical with uh Seattle another team who we want to

1049
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 3: play a physical brand of football, and then you get

1050
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 3: to us and it's like, I think we can be physical.

1051
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 2: I don't think we played that way.

1052
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 3: I think we tried to at the beginning of the season,

1053
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 3: and you know it didn't work. With the Tony you

1054
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 3: don't have Zeke anymore. So that kind of physicality. The

1055
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 3: hammer is not there like it was last season. My

1056
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 3: man lead us with the hammer.

1057
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 2: That's my man.

1058
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 3: Let me back tomorrow two o'clock for the last podcast
