Yeah, you Hey, running. 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:16.440 We are third segments all about Doug saying, wow, we 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.399 don't even know this dude, and gave him time. And 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.440 Doug don't even get no time, said Doug. Doug's busy 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.000 man with you. He must be good, Doug. Doug's busy 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.080 working trying to get us some sound bites. What did 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.240 those sound bites containing? I don't know, we might not 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:38.880 find out. I love you, Doug, I know, I know, 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.160 but call us. We want to hear from you. The 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:46.440 eight eight eight five five twenty two ninety seven eight 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.760 eight eight five five twenty two ninety seven. Man, that 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.280 was a good game. Started off as a good game 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.320 that he got kind of bored. But well, what do 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.640 you think you watch it from home? Yes, Nate, you 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.400 watching from the studio? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, what what curtains 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.040 you go? First? It was an interesting game. It was 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.280 exciting at the beginning, then it kind of you know, yeah, 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.720 and then it got a little scary at the end. Yeah, 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.520 but they did what they had to do. They got 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.799 the win. So let me ask you this, Nate. I'll 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:25.080 ask you. They started out and they did exactly when 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.440 when they started the game. I said, I'll be damn, 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.080 Nate got this right again, because you said last week 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.880 I would come out with four wides, Zeke in the backfield, 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.440 spread them out, and then take a shot with three 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.279 wids and a tight end and Zeke in the backfield. 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:48.680 And what's amazing is you, even if you still intend 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.840 to run the football a lot. You got to give 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.400 them the impression that you're gonna throwing, but by them 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.720 throwing the first pass and it was for nine yards 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.080 and Zeke run for one and then all of a sudden, 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.079 you over the top. But my main concern going to 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:07.760 this game was fixing your quarterback and by any means necessary. 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:13.520 And what they did was featured Dack whenever they had 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.520 a chance to run that that that read option or 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:22.160 whatever they call it, run pass option, all the option itself. 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.960 He was successful. His fellows man like I said, he 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.120 was a peacock this pass game. I mean, he he 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.679 was feeling good. He accepted the challenge what College threw 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.960 out there, you know, and as we saw this postgame show, 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.160 he said, the whole team accepted that that challenge, but 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:45.400 he was not as sharp as you would like him 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.720 to be. But he was feeling good. The team was 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.720 feeling good. Uh, they got ahead of New York, putting 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.520 them behind the change that that goes a long ways 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.280 when we can score first, whether it be three or seven. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.440 And and it's where our defense been playing as well 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.160 as they've been playing in these two early games, these 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.680 two early preseason games. Uh, everything is rolling just right. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:15.400 What we got to have is a better third down ratio. Uh, 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.720 we still got to cut down on the on the 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.440 these bad penalties, man, they just come at the wrong time. 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.000 We had a couple of bad ones again. So if 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:29.240 we can clean up the penalties and just go a 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.800 little bit better, like five for ten, because that's who 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:37.240 we are. We're a third down team, and we are 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.480 a third down team. We live for the third and three, 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.200 third and two. We live for that because now now 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.159 we hurt you, We physically hurt you. Even though we 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.440 had some success and even though this was one of 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:56.800 this is one of Zeke's best games, and you think, flash, 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:01.479 oh yeah, see this, this is this is this is 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.200 what this is what we call. This is what we 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.640 call football. This is what we call the grind time. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.320 When when when it's seventeen carroas one hundred and eighty 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.000 yards and two touchdowns, we better be blowing folks out 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:17.960 when it when it's like that, I mean that play 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:22.440 action passed working. You know, we're having fun. But what 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.359 happened when you when when you ain't having fun, what 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.120 happened with somebody hitting you in your face? You know? 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:34.080 It's called grind time? Now he had a lot of 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.520 negative runs that wind up one yard game, three yard game. 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.120 What it does was it puts us back balanced. The 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.760 ring game always should keep you balanced, and that's what 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.880 he did. You said that one run with it was 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:52.000 two yard loss. He spent back, put us back to him. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.080 He thought it was down to lunch for another two 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:58.040 or three yard turning to be a u a three 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.800 yard four yard run. Well, he had a bunch of 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.720 those where he had to make things happen, to keep 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.600 drives of live to keep, to keep your will and 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.560 forcing your will on them. And when you had that 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.680 type of run, what what what was it? What was 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.120 this stats? What? Excuse me, that's me? What was this stats? 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.480 He ran the ball seventeen times for seventy eight yards 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:24.360 and five passes. Those were the nicest seventy eight yards. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:29.040 Because if you can really respect what type of athlete 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.560 is the mental toughness that it took, the physical toughness 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.640 that he You know that it takes that that that 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.040 that's what you that's what you live on the NFC East, 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:43.359 if you knowice NFC East, it's been built so nobody 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.200 can have a run game they want. You wanted to 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.400 mention that they don't care if you throw sixty times. 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.160 As long as they know it, they can defend it. 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.440 They feel like they can get you. But if they 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.000 don't know, if you can balance it up a little 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.760 bit with that run like Zeke was doing yesterday, that's 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.440 all you need do is it? Does it bother you that? 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.480 It seems like to me one of his strong suits 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.440 is catching the ball out of the backfield. But it 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.560 seems like, especially last night, every time they would throw 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.160 to him, he was going, he was going sideways. It 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.440 was it was a swing pass. He was a dump down. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:20.120 Well you know what, that's that's life. Uh. As as 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.200 the season go on and as he gets more comfortable, 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.560 we know he can catch the ball. But as he 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.480 gets more comfortable, he gonna make some people miss. And 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.920 one or two times he makes people miss, he gonna 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.559 he gonna go along ways with the ball. So don't 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:39.800 don't right about now in this preseason, you gotta win games. 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:45.160 It's four games that we gotta get prepared for. We 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:50.520 got two more now, Coach Lanahan, offensive coordinator, shit know 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:55.400 who it's who, how to play certain players to design 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:59.400 certain player? Now after four games? About four games, so 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.040 they're still trying to figure out who's good who? Come on? Now, 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.480 you know, I mean, you know a lot of people 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.320 say they football fans, are they this, this and that? 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:15.840 But in the preseason, what what did we learned and 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.280 what did they learned? Tell me what did our offense 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.560 learn in the preseason? Not much? They weren't out there enough. 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.120 How much? What tell me? Tell me who is Thompson? Who? 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.760 Who is you know who is Thompson? Tell me who 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.800 is Alan Hearns? We know who Cole Beasley is and 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.240 what he does? Well, you know who is Connor Williams. 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:42.319 You know, if we're asking that question, definitely the offensive 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.960 coordinate asking that question because now the bullets are for real. 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.520 Like you know, you heard me said over and over 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.120 and over. We ain't bumping and grinding at five o'clock, 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.040 trafficking them on setting at the barn. Everybody one hundred 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:58.200 miles an hour. So let's go the phones, Tom and DC. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.400 What's up? Tom? What's up? And how you doing? Buddy? Great? 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.240 How you doing? I'm doing great? Yeah? Man? All right, 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.600 So listen, I don't want to be as broad as 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:10.560 as Joe from Flower Mount, but I was thrilled that 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.360 we won the game last night. But I found myself frustrated. 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.440 And this is why I get that Dak you know, 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.760 passed in the pocket last night. I get that he 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.960 ran well. I get to do We threw a long 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.000 pass that everybody's wanted us to throw. But he only 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.480 throw for one hundred and sixty yards last night. And 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.440 if you take away that that the big play. Can't 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.360 he only threw it for nine You can't. You can't. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.080 I know you can't. But it reminded me of like 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.800 a I don't want to be like a Trent Dilfer 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.040 team with a really good defense and a you know, 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.480 if you win, if you win fourteen games, what's wrong 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.680 with it? I know, But we won that game last 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.520 night because Giants weren't that great of a team last night. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.040 But I don't know if we're gonna win a lot 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.240 of games throwing one hundred and sixty yards. Who You 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.520 don't think that the Cowboys will get better as the 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:10.559 league get better? You know? Right about now? Uh? And 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.440 And I'm gonna continue to say this, and I'm gonna 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:19.120 be patient with our callers. Is nice. I'm gonna I'm 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:23.040 gonna be anything. I'm gonna be patient with our callers. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:29.160 Last week, we couldn't get nothing going, and we went 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:33.640 to Carolina and we lost this game. This week here 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:39.080 they built, they they they built on last week's loss. 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.600 I don't care how bad the Giants is. I don't 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:49.440 care how bad the Giants are. Odell Beckham, it's Kid Barkley. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:58.200 They're tight end Ingram Evan Ingram uh Shepherd. You think 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.760 they You don't think they're good. You don't think it 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.000 good enough. We know the offensive line is shaky, but 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.040 you don't think they're good. You don't think Snacks Harrison. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.320 You don't think Davin Thomas. You don't think Ogletree. You 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.080 don't think Collins, who's a number one, one of the 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.679 number top two saftans in the game. You don't think 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.840 Jenards Jeni. You don't think that they hold no sway 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:26.520 in what happened last night. Okay, And if and if 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.600 you do, where do you rank rank the Giants defense? 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.120 I'm gonna actually that Where do you rank the Giants 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:39.040 defense in this early season? I would say top fifteen, 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.760 I would say average average. You would think you think 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:48.080 the Giants defense is average. So what you're saying is 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.280 that there's at least twenty other teams better than the 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.400 Giants defense. Well, you know what I think my reasoning 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.360 for thinking this is is that and I think they 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.480 showed it last night, is that the Cowboys. It feels 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.440 like the coaching staff gets comfortable, but we broke out 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.000 and then they you know, I was listening to the 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.640 earlier show and Hellman was saying, here, we got got 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.280 bored for you know, second third quarter, and that's that's 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.800 how I kind of felt. And I don't want. I 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:19.520 guess I'm fearful that the coaching staff is, you know, 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.120 we'll get accepted of this kind of one hundred and 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.959 six performance. No he won't, I think he won't. No 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.360 they won't. No no they won't. No no no, no, 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:34.239 no, no no no no no. Thanks for the called Tom. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:39.920 What what we what we fail to realize is it 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:44.400 ain't fin to happen in game two. It ain't fin 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:49.160 to happen in game two. I don't care. We It's 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.760 only one or two teams, maybe three in this league 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.600 that has the ability in game two to go out 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.360 and score thirty points, and one of them is called 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.040 All Same Rams. They are the greatest team right now 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.600 because of one thing pure is sheer talent. They have 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.840 a per position over everybody else. The second best team 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.679 and they don't even have a good quarterback is and 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:18.440 he won a super Bowl? Is the Eagles? Now? Besides 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:23.240 these two teams and Tom and Tom Brady being Tom 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:28.520 Brady and Aaron Rodgers being Aaron Rodgers, tell me what 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:33.679 teams in this league? In the second Tampa Bay is fluking? 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:40.680 They fluking. Believe me, they'll fluke. I am not saying 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.439 they are fraud but I'm saying, what's happening with their quarterback? 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.360 He's lightning up the league? Will he stay hot time 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.880 over time? Says he won't. I hope they do. Florida 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:55.079 team and hope they do. But anyway, tell me what 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.800 team it's gonna start. It's gonna do that in a 0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.760 second week. Well, I don't have a problem with him 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.560 and the way that they've started, as long as they 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.640 get a little bit better every week. I don't want 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.559 them peek in the fourth week of the season. I 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.120 want them to get a little bit better, a little 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.920 bit better, a little bit better, execute better, and then 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.440 by week ten twelve, then you're rolling. I don't have 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.360 a problem with them starting this way. It's got four games, 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.760 Give me a pen. We got four games. You better 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.360 be nice. No no, no, no no, no, no, no no no. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:29.480 You won in one. Everybody in our league is one 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.960 in one, except except in New York. They go in two. 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.480 First place. Baby, you you go to you go to 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:41.600 the NFC South, everybody's we got one two, two and 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.760 old team that's Tampa Bay. Everybody else is what one 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.560 in one? You go over to the U to the North. 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:55.160 You got the Bears, you got h Green Bay, Vikings, Vikings, 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.520 what are they wreckers? One of them is one in 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.520 one and Uddon is old and one? I mean or 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.880 that Green Bay, Minnesota or one and one because they 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.720 tied the Chicago's on one Detroit's two. Okay, now I 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:16.040 asked this question here. We already determined US experts that 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.080 this is gonna be a tight race in the NFC. 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.320 Am I correct? Correct? We got we got nine teams 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:28.080 virtually vying for six spots. What team besides the Rams 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.400 that you can say as of right now that you're 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:38.480 really feel like, wow, they're over the top. Every team, 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.440 if you're going to watch these games yesterday, every team 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.080 that seemed like they lost in the first week kind 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.200 of constructed themselves in the second week, or if they 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.160 won in the first week, they're kind of like what 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.240 And I give you a prime example, and this is 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.920 AFC teams. You couldn't tell me that Sam Donald one 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.680 rookie of the year against Detroit the first week. Now 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.360 all of a sudden, he throws two interceptions. You know, 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.120 he threw three hundred yards. He threw two interceptions. Well, 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.800 he ain't Rooking of the year no more so when 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:12.520 when when you trying to judge the coaches and you're 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.600 trying to judge the players, are you judging them off 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.920 what this season is bringing? And right now, know if 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.400 this was four game what's that guy named uh that 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.480 called in Tom? If Tom will call in after after 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:31.280 four games and have these same concerns, I promise you 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.120 Nate will have these same concerns you heard of. Tom 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.800 called back in two games. But if you're looking for 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:44.880 a quarterback, that's a quarterback that for his last two years, 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.240 well his first year and a half, he was basically 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:54.120 a facilitator. He was basically a comp a complimentary player. 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.800 Now's his last eleven games, he's virtually had to be 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:03.760 that center piece, you know, with a fluctuating offensive line. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.679 That nah, it don't work that way. He had some 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.840 success last night. The game played out high played because 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.600 New York defense. And I could be totally wrong here, 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:24.439 I could be totally wrong, but and they missing Olivier 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:30.200 Vernon Olivier, They missing their best pass Russia. I don't 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:31.840 know who told you that New York don't have a 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.080 good defense. I know David Hellman ain't told Tom that 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.359 New York don't have a good defense. What all we 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:41.840 talked about last week was we're gonna face basically the 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:47.080 same defense. That's whereas Carolina runner four three, this team 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.520 runner three to four. They got the second rated second 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.240 highest coach defense accordinator that Love is a blitz, He's 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.080 the second highest. And on top of that, they not 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.600 only have a nice defensive front, they got a nice 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:05.160 back in with Jenkins, with with Collins and uh, what's 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:10.639 our other guy? Eli Apple playing better? So we are 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.360 we may not like the game, but would would you 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.280 would you feel more comfortable with all in two? Right? Right? 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.920 For me? I think and I'm guilty of this too, 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.560 but I think fans get a little too hung up 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:28.040 on the yards of what fantasy football has ruined watching football. 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:32.360 That's what that is right now, Dak There's two key 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.480 things he needs to do, and one is control the 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:39.160 ball with you know, not turning or complete passes yea. 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.320 And two not turn it over. And he did that 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:44.800 last night. Um, he didn't turn the ball over at all. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.760 Which I'm stealing the stats here from the Morning News. 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:51.320 But um, nineteen times in his career he hasn't committed 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.760 a turnover in a game. Cowboys are eighteen and one 0:18:53.800 --> 0:19:00.760 in those games. And to go along with that, last night, 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.400 he you know, he hit his first two boom boom, 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:03.600 and then he went through a stretch where he was 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.479 three for ten on his passing. Well that got everybody 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.440 kind of upsetting, worried. But then he finished the game. 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:10.600 He completed eleven in his the last thirteen and the 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:12.879 Cowboys kept the ball and kept moving. And that's what 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:14.480 he has to do. He mean, he's not gonna throw 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.639 up three hundred yards, but he has to keep the 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.439 Cowboys moving. He can't turn the ball over, and he 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.400 did that, and the Cowboys win when he does. Tell 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.399 me if I'm seeing this right, because it seems like 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:26.000 to me their game plan is get an early lead 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:31.440 there's always been there. Slow the game down, Fez Dad, 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.359 don't make any stupid plays. Defense hold him, bend, but 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:41.240 don't break hold him. But that's the way they play. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.840 And I'm okay with Dak having these stats because that's 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:48.960 the way. That's the way they go into the game. See, 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.880 I might actually see it's too simple. It's too simple. 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.200 I need to go get you some cookies. You grumpy? No, no, no, 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.920 no no. I'm asking the question. And brother, I'm asking 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.240 the question. Well you, I'm gonna let you answer. Who 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.920 is the receiver that this kid can depend on? Who 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:11.919 is his blanket? Who I mean yet? Okay, nobody stepped up. 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.880 Any other team, any other team would have the right 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:20.639 to work through this, Pat Sherman last night, as you 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.800 and when you hear their guys talk, because we do 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.000 a behind the enemy lines thing on the show that 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:30.280 I do, and everybody gets an opportunity to get comfortable 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.560 with their team. That's not only up going into his 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:38.040 third year, his second game, into his third year, he 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:39.919 don't even have the right to get comfortable with his 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.720 arm receiver and didn't play with any of them in 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:48.480 the preseason. So I'm you know, so yeah, I'm not grumpy. 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:52.359 I'm asking tough questions that Okay, now I'm forcing you 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:56.840 to think. You know, and what I've always learned is 0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:01.080 if if you watch a game, and especially males, if 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.480 you watch a game and you already a made up 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:07.720 in your mind and you hear one of these quacks 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.560 on the radio say something that's what you believe, and 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:14.880 no matter what's right and what's before you, you don't 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.040 want to see it. You're just gonna play the tunes. 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:20.280 It's like playing the hits. He's just like, that's what 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:26.000 they're gonna play. And we needed a victory, and we 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:30.159 got that victory. We needed for somebody to make a 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:33.280 few big plays and it was several big plays. Maybe 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:36.440 we needed to grind out the clock. We grind out 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:40.479 the clock. This is what like last night. We're watching 0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:46.160 the game and it's so funny to me. Rico runs 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.399 boom bample, you know, a flag rout I called it 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:52.040 where he presses the guy then goes to the to 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:58.800 the corner corner. All you heard from our people, oh 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:02.440 he overthrew, he overthrewing, Oh he overthrew h And I'm 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:05.840 sitting myself. Okay, now, did you watch what the quarterback 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:09.960 had to go through and nobody noticed. And I didn't 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:12.600 ask these people who was going through that. I'm sitting 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.720 us saying, wow, he was under pressure. The quarterback was 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:20.240 under pressure. So this morning I turned on the radio 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:25.080 to listen to so called experts. Oh, man, he missed 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:27.440 Rico in the corner. He's got to make that throw. 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:34.680 I'm saying, wow, Wow. How about Rico learning all this 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:36.320 play so we can have him on the field all 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:41.200 the time so it won't be a fifty fifty shot 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.960 of We know that if we put Rico in the game, 0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.560 he's gonna be one of our main targets. So let's 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:53.679 put some heat on this kid, so we can, you know, 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.560 force him to throw up faster than he wants to. 0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:00.159 I mean, I just I see the game. I'm a 0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:02.879 little bit different than most people. Yeah, you know, this 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:05.720 ain't just one guy. It ain't but two or three 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.960 guys in this league that can take over games. And 0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.680 ain't none of him in Dallas. One of them is 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.880 in Green Bay, and Hunt is in Foxborough. He didn't 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:19.800 do so great? Who that one more stat for you here? Yeah? Absolutely, 0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:21.760 that's what you do, man. You throw the stats don't 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:23.760 ever ask you if you can throw a stats so far, 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:27.720 I'm stealing this stand again. So um through the first games, 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:30.159 through these first two weeks, nineteen guys have thrown for 0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:35.359 three hundred yards. Six have one. Wow, it's not all 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:39.960 about yardage. Nope. You know, I tell people all the time, 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:48.119 how does how does Ryan for the for the for 0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:55.240 the for the Falcons? All that talent Ryan for Atlanta, 0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:59.639 But all that talent he has maybe had out of 0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:02.879 history team fourteen years. He has maybe had two bad 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:06.880 offensive teams when it came to talent. So for twelve 0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:12.199 years or more, Ryan has had top flight offensive skilled talent. 0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.720 He's went to one Super Bowl. But Cam don't have 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.200 the stats. And I'm talking about Cam new He don't 0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:23.920 how the stats, he don't have the athletes. But how 0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:27.240 does he get the one super Bowl? Because it ain't 0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:30.920 about your numbers in your fantasy league football? It's about 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.080 can you put a w can you put a w 0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:36.720 over in that left column? And that? And that's what 0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.119 I you know, and I tell people it's great that 0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:43.320 people do fantasy football because it generates money. You bring 0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:46.520 mister Jones money, It allows him to pay us. He's 0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:48.960 keep going to your fantasy and doing whatever you're doing 0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:53.760 so I can get paid well. So, but don't but 0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:56.760 don't get it twisted that that if you throw over 0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:59.239 three hundred yards or that if you rush for two 0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:02.119
