Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:31.720 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:41.520 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Yeah. 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.279 It is Wednesday, October thirteen, twenty twenty one, Season seventeen, 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.720 episode number forty. Welcome to the latest edition of The Break, 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.760 live from the s WBC Morgan Studios at the Star. 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.560 Got Nave, Dave and Nick with me. We're gonna be 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.040 joined by Bucky Brooks here in a bit. Talk a 0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.360 little bit about the New England Patriots offense versus the 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.680 Dallas Dve Vince. Before we do that, though, there a 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.560 couple news and notes that we want to hit. Let's 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.640 start first with injuries. What are we keeping an eye 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.520 on this week? Dave, you just came from the coaches 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.680 press conference. Who are the guys we're kind of monitoring 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.360 this week? We're keeping an eye on guys coming back? 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.600 Derek Oh, who's coming back? Well? Coming back might be premature, 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.200 but they're starting, they're starting their journey back. Calvin Joseph 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.360 is going to be limited in practice today. Donovan Wilson 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.080 is another one. Let's go. I'm blanking on the third. 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.240 There was a Sean mccun thank you. You see you 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.800 know it's on the internet. You've got an internet connection order. 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.040 I'm I'm like making sure my reports are right. I 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.280 knew there was a third guy. It's Sean mckun. So 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:42.720 those three will be limited in practice. Um, he can't practice, 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.600 but we know it sounds I think the lyall Colin 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.120 saga's finally over and so he's not going to be 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.559 available this week, but he'll be available next week. So 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.920 that's four guys that at least have a chance to 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.520 be available for you after the bye week, which is exciting. 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:03.080 Gets back. I wonder about that too. Um, I do 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.240 know McCarthy told me. I asked him about that last 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:07.760 week and he said he thought it would be a 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.600 stretch that he'd be ready for New England. Um, obvious, 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.919 so obviously not going to happen. I get probably maybe 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:16.600 something to watch when we get back from the bow. 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:21.040 So to get those guys back, McEwen, Joseph, they don't 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:22.960 have to be on the roster right now. Yeah, they could. 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.120 You have a three week a three week exemption for 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.080 them to get acclimated, so you don't have to do 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:33.520 anything right now. Um, and Gallimore is not in that group, 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.640 I guess. Stephen Jones said last week that Gallimore and 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:41.480 DeMarcus were still another month away, which I know kind 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.800 of rubbed some people the wrong way with Gallimore because 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.240 it was it was diagnosed as an eight week injury 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.600 on August fourteenth. It's been about eight weeks, so he 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.799 needs a little bit longer that Mike McCarthy said, it's 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.920 not a setback, just maybe they were a little optimistic 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.760 with their timeline. But um, good part is that you 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.440 don't feel like you got I was gonna say that 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:02.919 any of these guys you don't find Oh my god, 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.840 we gotta get this guy back right right. Yeah. I 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.520 mean he was playing pretty well. I mean, but again, 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.200 if you don't have your elbow strength to do what 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.040 you need to do as a defensive tackle, that you're 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.440 not going to be as effective. Yeah. I think the 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.320 way I look at this is, and I agree with you. 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:19.960 I think when he comes back, he's gonna give them 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.760 a boost. Obviously, Tank gives him a boost, some of 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.840 these other guys will give them a boost. The way 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.119 I look at it, though, is if those guys are 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.280 healthy and fresh in November, that's a good thing for 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.560 this team because, like as you guys, you guys both 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.600 mentioned this earlier this week, like there are more injuries 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.600 that are coming because that's the nature of football, right, 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.960 So if other guys are going out and those guys 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.200 are coming in, or if those guys or if there 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.160 aren't a lot of other injuries and those guys are 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.000 coming back and they provide depth or or jumping in 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.480 and playing in rotations and they're fresh, like, that's a 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.600 great thing to have in November and December of an 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.200 NFL season. Yeah. Yeah, I want to see Kelvin Joseph 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:57.760 I do. I mean, I want him to get in 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.200 there and play and figure they need to figure out 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.080 how to do that. I just feel like the way 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.640 this offense is, they're gonna score some points, you're gonna 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.880 give up some plays with him, but he needs to 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.600 get in there and at some point this year, and 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.680 I think it'll happen, Like you said, nature of injuries 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.720 and all that, I think at some point he needs 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.960 to get to the offseason. They need to have a 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.480 good understanding of the type of player that he is, 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.240 because if you, I mean, they'll want to get too 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.080 much into weeds. For no, let's talk draft, Let's go next. 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.160 You do because they were like, they gotta have a corner. 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:30.600 I gotta have a corner and didn't work out, took 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.520 a linebacker. I think that they're so happy that they 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.360 did that. They took corners in second round, talking corner 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.760 all over again. Right, let's do it well, and I 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.400 find you know, you'll be picking. They're gonna be picking 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.760 in the twenties. Okay, they'll be picking back there that 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.719 this is a good football team. They'll be They'll be 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.839 picking back there, you know, And do you go that 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:52.480 route again? You just need to know. You need to 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.920 have an idea of what Joseph is. So I think 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.760 at some point you gotta figure out ways to play him. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:02.599 I love that point, although I agree with you. But 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.599 even if I mean, if they don't have an idea 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.560 of what he is, it's not gonna I mean, if 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.880 if the cornerback's there for you in the draft, do it. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.480 I don't care. It's true Anthony Brown, that's true. He's 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.040 only on a three year deal. Jordan's only on a 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.919 three year deal. Just just throw throw resources at the 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.080 problem until it's fixed. But that's yeah, we can do. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.200 Somebody Somebody damned me the other day was like, when 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.640 is the Draft show coming back? I was like, we're 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.200 a four game winning streak man, who it's the season? 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.400 Who wants to talk draft right now? That's for bad teams? 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.800 We did. God, we were getting those tweets in September 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.599 last year and then we're staying in December. Yeah, And 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.560 me and Nick were actually just having this conversation yesterday. Yeah. 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.280 I don't think we're still on this show untill at 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.440 the earliest, maybe late enuite. I don't want to, don't 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.080 We got we got something else to talk about, right, 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.680 I don't want to talk draft until after Valentine's Day, preferably. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.280 Let's go It's take some time. Let's go Hey real quick. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.080 I didn't want to ask you this question, Nick, You're 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.839 not talked a little bit about this morning. This earlier 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.360 this morning off Mike McCarthy and I heard that there 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:03.880 was a question. There was a question during the press 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.200 conference about Kellen Moore saying that one of Mike McCarthy's 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.080 shrinks is his ability to stay even good bad times. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.479 He's an even steady leader, which I think is a 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.280 great characteristic for a leader to have. One of the 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.080 things I wanted to ask you guys about is do 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.680 you think right now not enough credit is being given 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.479 to Mike McCarthy for where his team is because I 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.560 think we talk a lot. We do it as well, 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.440 but I think just nationally locally, everyone talks a lot 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.240 about the offensive coordinator, the defensive coordinator and how well 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.080 they are doing, how well the players are doing there 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.400 four and one, they're in a four game win streak, 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.760 But rarely do we hear people talk about Mike McCarthy 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.400 and what he contributes to that. And I'm a personal 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.120 believer that if a head coach has a team that's 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.760 four and one, he has some should receive some credit. 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.880 How much? And do you think he's being overlooked? I 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.360 do think yeah, I think that he's being overlooked for that. 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.400 I think he deserves a more credit. But you know, 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.040 that's that's just kind of the way that it's evolved here. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.560 And I'm not saying with all coaches I don't know 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.280 if it has something to do with personality or what. 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.160 I don't know what it is. It's just that, you know, 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.320 dan Quinn's the fun guy, whereas the camera and everyone 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.480 love loves, you know, listen to him. Kellen, I mean 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.760 it's different than that, but I mean Kellen is just 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.400 you know, he's he's kind of the offense is rolling 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.120 right now. And because those guys have kind of doing 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.320 their thing, I think it's easy to say, well, what 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.800 is McCarthy doing, you know, other than kind of over 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.680 seeing all of it. But um, you know, he gets 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.600 blamed for clock management, but nothing has nothing has hurt 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.480 him at this point. Um this year, last year sort 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.400 of did. But so yeah, I do think that he's 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.160 he's not getting the credit that that he deserves, and 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.000 I don't know when that'll happen. I don't know how 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.960 many games they have to win to do that. Well. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.080 I think I think you're right, and it's only natural. 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.960 I think people tie your worth to what they can 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.600 see you doing for the window of time that you're 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.320 visible to them, and to most people, the vast majority, 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.680 even really especially in COVID times, even us, how much 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.160 do we see McCarthy in person outside of like the 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.960 press conferences and game day, you know, it's not the same. 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.360 And so Sean Payton is my go to because I 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.240 grew up following that team, and he gets so and 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.160 rightfully so he gets so much credit. He calls the plays, 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:25.800 he's doing this, that and the other, and so it's 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.560 easy to be like, this is what he does for 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.760 you on game day. But there's credit to be given 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:36.640 for just overseeing everything great. You do not know I'm 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.560 talking to Derek for people that aren't watching this. You 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.360 do not know what is going on as intricately on 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.120 a day to day basis as like Nick and I 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.480 do you trust us to do that? That's our jobs, right, 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.400 But you still get credit for what are what we 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.480 do as a department and the ideas that we have. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.960 And you go up to people higher than you and 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.280 they say how's that going. You're like, it's going pretty good, 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.600 Like my guy's got it, and you I mean, that's 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:02.280 how this all works. I just think it's it's easier 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.440 to give people credit for what you can see during 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:08.280 a game. And I'll openly say it, I don't know 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.880 what all Mike McCarthy does that gives you an edge 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.320 on game day, except for maybe his decision making, which 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.520 is sometimes suspect. But I do appreciate the aggressive nature 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:22.480 of it. But absolutely Monday to Saturday, I definitely it 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.760 feels like he's got this calming presence and I think 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:27.439 it deserves credit for that, even though we don't really 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.839 get to see a lot of it. I've never thought 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.880 about this before, but why do you think that there's 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.600 a coach out there who had a team for a 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.040 long time, had a Hall of Fame quarterback, they won 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:45.600 one super Bowl together in a long time. Why do 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.520 you think that Sean Payton is viewed the way he 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.080 is and Mike McCarthy is viewed the way he is 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:56.439 when they the resumes are kind of similar in those 0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:01.480 regards about winning championship and the the m O. The 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.199 rap sheet on McCarthy coming out of Green Bay is 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.439 that they squandered Rogers like they should have won more 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.760 than one super Bowl, but which is so crazy. They 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.880 won one, but they Brady ruined if for every No, 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.520 but that's nobody really thinks that about Peyton, and the 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.200 resume is very very similar. Yeah, I don't have an 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.319 answer to that. Perception is a hell of a thing. 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.640 I will say this, I do. I do remember reading 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.280 that there were people in Green Bay who followed that 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.480 team that felt like some of the same things that 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.400 we've talked about here with regards to game management were 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.640 issues there. So that could also be part of it, 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.720 where they felt like decisions that were being made in 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:41.200 game actually affected their ability to win more championships, and 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.439 they put that on Mike McCarthy, right, fair or not 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:47.280 that that maybe a perception. Yeah, And I just I 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.320 think you said it best about. You know, sometimes when 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.360 you you're doing your job and you're saying, hey, I'm 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.400 gonna let you do your thing. I'm not gonna micromanage you. 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.800 I'm gonna get the hell out of the way and 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.920 let you do your job. And then it's like, if 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.680 the people like you, then they'll say, oh, you know, 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.880 good job. Wait wait, way to not step on anyone's toes. 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:09.720 But if they don't, they're like, what did you do? 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.240 You didn't really do anything, you know, And that's that's 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:13.840 the way it is. I mean, you know, it's what 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.920 we talked about. He comes in here and he says, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.440 what's what what I what I got? I got this 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.600 young offensive coordinator who works well with the quarterback. We 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.560 got something going here. Okay, Well, even though I know 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.640 quarterbacks and I know offenses, I ain't really gonna mess 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.240 this up. I'm gonna hire this guy that I know 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.600 to be my defensive coordinator. We're gonna have to go 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.000 through COVID together and he can do it. Well, they didn't. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.480 It sucked and he had to fire him. He didn't 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.760 want it, but he had to because it was so bad. Well, 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.280 go get another guy. I got another guy that that 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.160 wants to come here. And this guy knows what he's 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:46.839 talking about, and I'm gonna let him do his thing. 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.640 So I think he should get some credit here, um 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.000 a little bit more than he and I think if 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.240 they win, I think they'll continue to come. I'll give 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.600 him all the credit in the world. I'm sure there's 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.800 no way you accomplish what Mike McCarthy's accomplished without having 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.440 a bit of an ego about it, and so much 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.040 in the NFL's driven by ego. I haven't seen it like. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.400 He doesn't come across that way. He let he's letting 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.840 Kellen Moore call the shots on offense and being very 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.400 open about it and very complimentary of what a good 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.800 job he's doing. Fired a guy that he had a 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.120 history with in Mike Nolan. I mean, how how I 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.120 don't like you pointing at me and said fire. Sorry, 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:30.199 I'm sorry, but you said fired. Nobody likes that, likes it. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.959 But how how easy is it to imagine? I can 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.640 picture it in my head. Mike and Carthy's like, well, this, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.680 that and the other reasons or why we were bad. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.160 It's not Mike Nolan and we're just gonna stay the 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:43.920 course and it'll be better next year. That is such 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.880 an NFL thing. Yeah, and he didn't do it. He 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.920 was like, Nope, you gotta go, and I'm gonna hire 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.320 this guy who comes highly recommended, who I don't have 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.720 as much of a relationship with. Um. I could probably 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.120 think of half a dozen other examples. Uh, he was 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.439 a good sport about hard knocks, even if he probably 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:03.720 didn't love it. Yeah, I just he's done. I think 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.320 he's done a remarkable job of just kind of being like, yeah, 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.000 no he goes here, I'm okay. And I will also say, 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:10.959 and I think this a lot of the credit goes 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.440 to the players, but also I think a part of 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:18.160 leadership is creating an environment where your team is willing 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.040 to accept the fact that they don't have to be 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.360 the ones getting the credit all the time. And we 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.120 talk about this all the time, like this is an 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.040 offense that's built around a number of parts that any 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:28.720 one of them could go to another team and be 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.240 the man, and they have all somehow decided for the 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.440 better of the team. I'll be the man once every 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.040 four games, or once every three games, or once every 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.520 six games, because at the end of the day, I 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.199 want team success. That's about leadership, and that's about leadership 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.719 that starts with the head coach and then filters down 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.320 to the team. Well, let's also just remember this and 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.160 I hope hopefully it doesn't happen soon or at all, 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.760 but it probably will. They're gonna lose a game, somebody. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.480 When they lose a game, someone's gonna have two catches 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.600 for nineteen yards or something. Somebody. You know, maybe Zeke 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.360 didn't have a big game, or Pollard didn't have a 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.559 big game. You know, let's see what happens. Then. I'm 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.640 not saying the bottom will drop off when that happens. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.040 I just I just when it's four. You know, when 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.600 you're four and one, and you know you've won four straight. Yeah, 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.120 everything's rosy. Well, we we've already kind of seen it. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.200 Week one, they didn't run the ball, Zeke didn't do much, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.280 and then in week two you saw Pollard like going crazy. 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.280 So there were moments when Zeke could have been like, say, man, 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.200 what's going on with me? And I don't think that happened. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.440 And I also think this fast start could wind up 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.760 being a great thing because a rough patch is coming 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.880 right eventually. Yeah, but the fact that you've been able 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.200 to stack four wins like this at the start of 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.880 the season, you can point back to that later and 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.600 say like, we're okay, we got this. It might not 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.760 have been clicking these last two weeks because there's a 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.200 couple stretches on the schedule where I'm like, yeah, there's 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.400 I mean, bumpiness could be in store. But at least 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.360 you have the good times that you can kind of 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.400 fall back. This is one of them. I think this 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.800 is one of those games where it's like they should win. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.040 I think that they are more talented. They they're head 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:05.440 and shoulders better. I think at quarterback, you know, I 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.080 know Mac Jones is going to be good if he's 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.520 not decent right now. But I think you know, you've 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.520 got the advantage there. You've got talent all across the board. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.680 You should be able to win um this game. But 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.640 but you're going up against one of the best. No, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.000 you're going up against the best coach in NFL history. 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.400 I think can we say that? I think I would, Yeah, 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.720 I would think there's an argument certainly can be made. 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.520 I don't think anybody can just be like that stupid, 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.480 right because they you know, yes, he won all those 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.880 and he had Brady, and we'll see where Brady's has 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.440 successful that. I mean, there are guys that have their 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.280 names on the actual trophy that you like. But he's 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.640 in that level of conversation like the Lombardi Do you 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.480 ever think about that, like like when should we start 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.840 changing that? And certain you don't change that ever, you 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.560 can't change that. No, Well, okay, they'll not the Lombardi Trophy, 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.960 but you know there's there's other there's other trophies and 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.680 other sports. You know, the Bill Russell Award, and I mean, well, 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.560 when do we ever change that? You don't, that's the history, 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.880 Like the history is you keep that that person's name 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.680 alive because they were so great at what they did, Right, 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:07.560 that's the whole point of naming that trope. That's why 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:09.400 you don't take that for grant. You're like, you always 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:17.960 name that after somebody who is legendary, I mean legitimately legendary. Heisman. Yeah, who, No, 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.400 it's the Heisman. I don't know what are you gonna 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.520 call it the Bush? I mean, like what we are doing, 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.640 I call that. They won't give it back to it? Yeah, 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.560 I know, right, yeah, I was thinking like that, who 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.080 who would you give it to? I mean, it had 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:30.960 to be a two time winner. I mean, if y'all 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.640 want to name it the Borough, I'm all for it. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.480 Let's go.
