We 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.959 touched on it a little bit on Tuesday, but we 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.640 can look maybe towards their defense and just how they're 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.880 gonna try to wreck the game for the Dallas offense 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:47.800 coming off a pretty productive game against Detroit, and we 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.680 can go anywhere. Take your phone calls as well. Eight five, 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.800 two two ninety seven is the number. Good job last 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.600 night on your show. Thanks you guys too. It was 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.560 a lot of a lot of back and forth. I 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.080 think we covered a lot of ground on the Happy Hour, 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.040 The Happy Hour. Absolutely love the Happy Hour every Tuesday 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.760 night at Concrete Cowboy. Are you there for that? What 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.440 do you think it's gonna give this team the more 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:12.320 most problem their offense, their quarterback, the receivers, or their defense. 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.799 Houston all fired up because they're gonna try to win 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.680 bragging rights in the state. Yeah, God, which way do 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.720 you think they go has? What's their avenue for success 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.160 in this thing? The dudes up front on their defensive line. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.160 You think it's gonna come down, Mickey do your offensive 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.240 line and having to play if you can block those guys. Um. 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.919 Although their offense has been pretty potent, they haven't won. Yeah, 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.639 they've racked up a lot of yards. Kind of reminds 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.679 me a little of Washington our day back in the 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.440 day with with you know, with Cousins, You're like, Okay, 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.639 this guy's gonna throw for four oh eight, but they're 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.239 gonna lose by seven because he's gonna hand you the 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.560 ball a couple of times. Yeah, this guys, those got'll 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:55.920 hand you the ball And I know you want to 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.320 make me we can kind of focus our throat for 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.640 four hundred or our total four hundred yards and have 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.040 to go into overtime to win because you blew a 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.360 twenty eight to ten lead. Yeah, so they got a 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.320 gift too. I remember I was telling you about yestert 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.799 touchdown right, Yeah, one of the first touch they had, 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.840 the center just thought he was in shotgun and dropped 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.560 the ball in the one yard line and next you know, 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.680 it's a mad scramble. But he's lucky he didn't get fined. No, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:26.120 I you saw that. No, they're they're mad. Bowls is 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:31.440 mad at his h oh I forgot the player. He 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.280 he scored a touchdown. It had to be a wide receiver, right, 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.880 and the Jets all that. Well, sorry, he took the 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.800 ball and wiped his behind with him because he was 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:48.640 doing a commercial for a company that had male wipes. 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:55.560 Oh so he was doing some product placement during the game. Yes, interesting, Yeah, yeah, 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.440 Bowls wasn't big on it. No, And he got a 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.280 fifteen yard penel and sports like conduct. Shocking that he 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:06.800 would get that for doing that anyway. Strange. Yeah, there 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.680 you go, we're off track. He was just thinking about 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.080 the ball and hiked and there was there to get it. Yeah. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.200 I kind of worry a little bit about first down 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.919 running here, you know. I mean, the Cowboys are really 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:19.800 good at it. I know that's something they want to do. 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.520 I think they're gonna have to mix it in this 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.320 game if you want to get back to offense or defense. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.440 But you know, the the Texans are one of the 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.440 best in the league and not allowing you that. And 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.880 I wonder if going in now that what we've seen 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.799 with Dallas and trying to kind of get things started. 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.880 We what was the you know, the Seattle game that 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:39.640 was a little bit more of a mix of It 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.160 wasn't just straight run ye Giants game was that way too. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.119 A little bit more of balance, I shouldn't say balance, 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.760 a little bit more passing on first down. I wonder 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.920 if you go into this game feeling like, you know what, 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.000 we're gonna have to throw the ball a little bit 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.880 more on first down than than what we normally do. 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.640 What is the Texans run defense on first down? Look? 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.960 I just you know, yeah, I know, Mickey numbers drive 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.040 you nuts, but I like to look at these things, 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.039 and I'm not big on numbers. I just like to 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.480 look at him to see if there's any trends or 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.040 anything like that. I'm a guy watched the tape. Either 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:12.839 they're gonna block you or they're not gonna block you. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.479 You know, but the Texans are third in the league 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.640 on third down rush. When it comes to they only 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.120 on first see me, on first down rush, they only 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.960 give up three point four nine league average is almost 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.840 four and a half on first down, So you know 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.200 that's something in in Dallas is one of the best 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.760 in the league. When it comes to their first down runs, 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.920 you know, they're gonna get four plus yards almost fifty 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.039 percent of the time. So something's gonna have to give there. 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.599 And I know, Mickey's gonna tell me need to stay 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.440 ahead of the chains and those kinds of things, and 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.880 he's absolutely right, you know. But I wonder if necessarily 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.440 you're gonna have to mix in this game that you're 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.240 gonna just can't line up and say, okay, you know, 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.680 even though this this is one of your strengths, do 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.760 you play to your strength or do you say, Okay, 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.520 we're gonna go a little bit different than what we 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.720 normally do here to kind of get the ball moving 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.920 a lot. Like you guys were talking about last night. 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.560 Can't get behind the chains in this game, and you 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.719 can't do it, can't have a Carolina read. Yeah, because 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:13.680 of the pass rushers. I've got the NFL's leading rusher. Yeah, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.479 all right, let them stop them before I decide to 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.719 change do something else. You want to dance with what 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:23.120 brung you? They are twenty seventh against the pass. Yeah, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.200 so maybe no one's tried to run against them because 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.679 it's too easy to throw on them. Yeah, uh, they've tried. 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.239 I mean, they're ninth against the run ninety four yards 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.960 a game. I'm reading John the Great John mcclean's report 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.719 card down at the Houston Chronicle Uh, they limited the 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.040 Colts to forty one yards rushing two point one yards 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.640 yards passing. Did they give up? Uh, let's look at 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:49.080 the game book, Mick, I have it right here. Four hundred. Yeah, 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.520 that's a lot, you know, it's really funny though, four 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.800 hundred and sixty four to be exact. We're getting into 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.159 a bunch of numbers here. And I don't mean to 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.159 get the fans about tyre head here and four touchdowns, 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.120 but here. Yeah, and this is this is what's it. 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.279 To Mickey's point, For as great as they've been in 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.640 as you think as a pass rushing team, when they 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.240 blitz you quarterbacks have a rating of one twenty three. 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.280 That's twenty ninth in the league. Maybe they don't have 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.720 to blitz as much, but they do. They like to. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.280 They like to give you a lot of a little 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.640 a lot of different looks. The double a gap, they'll walk, uh, 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.400 you know, Tyrn Matthew up there as a blitzer and 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.600 stuff like that. So I think it's to Mickey's to 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.280 Mickey's point, he's absolutely right, you know. I mean, I 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.200 think you want to run the football. I think you 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.400 want to try and run the football. But yeah, but 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.480 they've had some struggles. I mean and I and I 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.320 just the guy always seem to look at in this 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.200 their struggles is this is Jonathan Joseph, This cornerback number 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.920 twenty four. He seems like the guy that they like 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.160 to pick on that you know, because he'll play soft. 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.640 He really doesn't tackle all that well and in coverage, 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.520 he doesn't drive very well. This team has a history 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.679 of having some cornerbacks can that can play. You remember 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.200 a Buoye that that's now in Jacksonville. We'll see him 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.480 in a couple of weeks. But they have a pretty 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.080 good history of guys that can play cornerback. But this 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.000 cruise a little bit suspect. Uh Sharise Wright on the 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.280 other side, I think number forty three, he's a little 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:21.840 bit of a suspect guy. So and Tyron Matthew God, 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.320 I love him. He's an LSU kid, but he is 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.760 really an undisciplined player. I mean, you'd love to have 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.240 him on your team, but he will he will drop 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.840 coverage and and he's one of those guys that plays 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.640 with really like instinct more than he plays with. Okay, 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.319 I know what you're trying to do. I'm just gonna 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:43.079 try and jump routes and he freelances a lot. Yeah, 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.480 those are good, those are good names to talk about freelance. 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.880 Those guys pull it off, and this guy could pull 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.120 it off at times, but he will also put his 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.720 team in some in some harm's way. If you remembered 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.600 Arizona last year, it was Terrence Williams in that game 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:01.560 caught a nice route across the field where where Tyron 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.840 Matthew tried to jump the route a little bit and 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.680 it gave Terrence some separation and it was a huge 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.040 completion in that game. So he's capable of either making 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.560 a play or making a big bone head and mistake 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.719 for his team. So but I'm just trying to think 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.360 of ways that you're going to have to move the 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:21.360 football in this game. And m Mickey's point is well taken. 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.480 If you're gonna you know, you are what you are, 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.560 you know, But I don't know if we necessarily going 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.040 to be able to do that. Is it going to 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.720 be consistent? First down run? Is it going to be okay? 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.600 Even though the numbers say yeah, Brian, keep running, especially 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.880 early in the game, they're gonna be loaded up for it. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.960 Probably early Keep running and you know, and but I'll 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.559 see you another thing. They had a problem within the 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.000 Giants game that I watched. Their linebackers usually tackle very well. 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.440 Zach Cunningham had a really hard time in this game 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:53.840 tackling the Giants, And so hopefully you can get some 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.320 of that. But overall, it's a it's a good defense, 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.480 it really is. It's got you know, with what and 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.480 then and Clowney. I just think you're gonna have to 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.960 You're gonna have to account for Clowney more than you 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.760 will Watt. And gosh, I know I'm gonna be cursed 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.360 for saying that, but they moved Clowney around. Remember how 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.040 what the last time these two teams played at at 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.760 AT and T it was Watt moving all over the place. 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.600 He was standing up, he was on the left end, 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.800 he was right in. It just appears that they've taken Clowney. 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.080 He's taken over that role and they've kind of let 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.920 they've let J. J. Watt stay on that out on 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:34.200 that left side or your offensive right. But I just 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.520 could see them, you know, with the struggles that Lyle 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.920 Collins has had two you know, maybe given some rushes 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.080 over there and saying Okay, we're gonna let your rush 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.280 against Lyle Collins and see if you could break him down. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.880 Because watching it back, I did see primarily at least 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.680 early in the game, and I haven't watched all of 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.440 the Houston Indie game, but Watt on that left side. Yeah, 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.080 he would move inside at times two right and they 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.760 and Clowney would take over. He'd switch side as well. 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.960 So what Collins is probably gonna see both of them. Yeah, 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.560 that's that's their luck. Pass for four hundred and sixty 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:08.240 four yards. He hit some really big that where they attacked. 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:13.640 Where they attacked this uh Texan defense was in the 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.800 middle of the field. They had a bunch of big 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:20.040 time hit crossing routes that worked. They actually had several drops. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.199 They had four or five drops on slants that might 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.120 have gone well. They had a they had a crossing 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.040 route underneath that would have gone much similar to what 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.680 happened in the Carolina game. Would have been a big 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.079 play that ended up being a drop. So yeah, I 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.560 mean they they The thing you just have to worry 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.320 about again is the protection. I mean that that to 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.000 me is going to be the real key in this one. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.760 They stacked him four times right. Yeah, Now they hit 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.680 him a bunch. Okay, but now stop me. Four hits 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.480 by Clowney alone, Okay. And I'm not an expert on 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:56.760 the Colts. Yeah, and Hinds. Yeah, he's the main Hines 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.640 rookie out of yeah NC State. Yeah. Yeah, he is 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:06.840 a good player. He's a running back. He caught nine passes. Yeah, okay, 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:13.120 c Rogers he is a wide receiver number fourteen. Yeah, 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.959 should I know him? Well? No, they're making plays, That's 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:20.120 what I'm saying, z Pascal. Their cornerbacks are Grant the 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.800 only guy I gotta get down to. T Y Hilton. Yeah, 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.360 he had four catches. He got hurt in the game, 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.720 but he had forty two. One of them was a 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.679 forty two yarder down the middle of the field. He 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.600 got hurt on the play. So these aren't like household 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.280 names that ripped him for four hundred and sixty four years. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:43.040 You're saying you're not impressed, Well, I'm just asking the 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:47.560 I think the personnel. How did this happen? You know 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.560 it's the NFL. Can I ask you a question? That's 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.280 all your angle? Your angle is that they suck? Is 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.520 that your anger? Didn't say they suck? I'm just saying 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.240 because I'm trying to find out. I think I think 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.040 twenty seven points to the Giant. I think that we're 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.640 trying to figure out here. I think we've said this. 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.120 Their pass rush is good, they play run defense on 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.600 first down, and they they're struggling. The secondary we just 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.360 talked about. The corners aren't very good. We talked about 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.360 the safety is not very good. We're not saying it 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.640 can't be. We're not saying it can't be done. But 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.680 you're you're You're also a team that's offensively challenged as well. 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.960 It's not like we're the Rams or the Colts, anybody 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.000 else or the Colt. We haven't thrown for four hundred 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.079 yards the games. One of the Colts done in four games. 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.160 I'm just telling you, though, I don't know there's stats 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.600 off the top of my head. Yeah, I know, but 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.960 they they were one in three. The Texans. Yeah, feel 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.120 free to pick them on Friday, Mick, that's all right. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.160 I'm gonna pick Dallas. I'm gonna pick them big and no, no, 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.960 don't pick the texts. Are you Texans holding you to it? Yeah, 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.360 they're at home state bragging rights on the line. Well, 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.200 you're big on that super Bowl talk, aren't you? Leave? 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.360 Bill brought up? And then they roll our ass and 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.960 Mickey's in here on money making excuses for him. I 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.680 don't make excuses as I tell you what happens. Well, 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.959 you you obviously we're trying to tell you that the 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.280 Texans secondary isn't very good, all right, and we're making 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.400 your play, but their front is so good that it 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.960 should help the secondary not give up four hundred and 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.880 sixty four yards passing. Don't block the front, Mickey, and 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.640 see what happens to you in your pack didn't say that, Mickey. 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.440 You're okay, you're talking. How did that happen? Micky? Okay, 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.480 you're talking. When's the last time the Cowboys through for 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.880 three hundred yards in a game? Oh? I'm sure it 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.200 was twenty seventeen. Well, can you give me some stats? 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.320 Maybe you're you're arguing thirty points in a row against 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.520 the greatest defense on Earth against the Rams, thirty points 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.040 against the Packers, that was what that was? How many 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.080 games ago? When you asked me, I said twenty seventeen. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.960 I'm just saying, how many games ago is that calendar year? 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.359 This team doesn't throw the ball. Well, let's not understand. 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.080 I understand that. Well, then how are you going to 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.560 attack the tell it? Well, against a team that can't 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.480 defend the pass, how are you going to attack the 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.760 Texans if you don't throw the ball? Well, Mickey, well, 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.400 they're the twenty seventh rank pass defense. How are you 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.000 going to atta pack the Texans if you don't throw 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.440 the ball? Well, to give you some reasons, give me 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.080 some reasons. I don't. I mean, I hear how good 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.240 they played this past week? Their run defense was terrible? 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.040 How was the past defense? Their past defense was good. 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.200 They threw for two fifty five they hadn't done that 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.560 in ages. One of the passes was for thirty three yards. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.640 They had some big plays downfield. They had several explosive 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.960 plays that help bring that total. But they it all 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.520 adds together. That's good. Zeke takes a screen pass thirty 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.400 four yards, thirty eight yards? Well good? You know what 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:35.480 this guy from Indianapolis Hines. He was the leading receiver 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.840 with nine catches. Running back. He's a running back. Yeah, 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.880 all right, load up, Zeke. I'm I kind of leaned 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.120 toward what's Brian saying? Though, they're gonna load up to 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.840 try to stop Zeke early. Give me a reason I understand, 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:50.720 and I think we're all saying the same thing here. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:55.240 They can't play past defense. They could rush the passer, 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.480 but they don't play well in the secondary. If you protect, 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:03.720 how do you if you're the Dallas Cowboys generate passing yards? 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.680 That's my question. By running the football on them, what 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.280 if they stopped that and then you're in second and 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.760 nine early, you know, and then through no fault of Zeke, 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:15.720 what if they're loading up to stop you early on 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.760 like like Carolina did? Well? Will they I don't know, 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.360 we'll find out. That's why we watched the games, all right. 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.880 I just asked, will they load up after they just 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.240 team has when's the last time his team ever threw 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.360 for four hundred yards? Has this guy ever thrown for 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.080 four hundre yards? Probably not Green Bay playoff game? What 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:33.960 was that? And I I mean, I'm sorry, I'm just 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.000 guessing here. I'm with you in that they've got to 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.560 be able to get him in some manageable situations where 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.280 he can convert third downs, right, But they want to 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.880 run the ball, There's no question about it. My question, 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.160 what I go back to is this reminds me of 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.840 Denver last year with Von Miller and what Jason Garrett 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.160 said about von Miller. You can block him all game long, Yeah, 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.680 but it takes one or two plays that can wreck 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.840 the entire game. And they forced three fumbles last week 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.040 and recovered one in the end zone for a touchdown. 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.440 What forced two? They didn't really force that one? Well, okay, 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.320 they got credit for it. But they can. They can, 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.000 they can turn the game around. It could be a 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.000 one score game and one big strip sack can make 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.640 all the difference. I'm with you on it. So they've 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.200 I mean to me, this all falls the offensive line, 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.119 pass protection, giving allowed time, allowed to let those routes 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.960 develop down the field line and try to open it 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.920 up that way. From what I can tell, he's never 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.920 had a four hundred yard game Dak Yeah, never, I 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:29.800 don't think so. And yet and he's never really been 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:31.840 asked to, you know not. That's not the way they 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:36.520 run offense around here. It's it's it is Zeke first, Mick. Yeah, 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.160 but sometimes that's not always gonna work. And we've seen 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:44.040 it a couple times this season where Carolina game, I mean, 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:48.200 they said hell or high water, We're stopping Zeke. Yeah, 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.399 I don't. I just I could say I wish, I 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.639 wish I could say, I wish I had the confidence 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.440 to say this team could throw for three hundred yards 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.480 against these guys. I wish I could say it. But 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.119 you're right, this team has not built that way. But 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.080 they better find a way to be able not to 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.199 get in those situations where they have to throw the 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:10.560 ball right, because that's where again we've seen. Do you 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.119 fully trust? And I think you've said it before, Mickey. 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.840 I'm not putting words in your mouth there, but you 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.920 you I think you've you've had some concerns about Lyle 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.960 Collins at right tackle, Yes, you know, and if that's 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.119 if that's you know JJ Watt over there, you know, 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.680 rushing him and stripping the ball out like he did 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.240 in the film I saw against the Giants and the 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.520 and the Colts, then I think you have to have 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.720 some concerns over there. You know, this team can't create turnovers, 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.360 but they surely can turn over the football. Every time 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:44.040 they've done that, they've lost, Am I correct? Yes? They're 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.800 minus two, yeah, minus two and it's in lost and 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.160 dead last in takeaways. Yeah, they might get a couple 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:53.400 this week though, that quarterback will throw you the ball, 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:57.160 better be ready. And he by the way, Deshaun Watson, 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.840 he was sacked seven times by Indianapolis. I don't know 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:01.800 how how much of that might have been some of 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:03.760 his doing. Well, that's now okay. Now you want to 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.680 talk about an offensive line that can't run block. They're 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.800 the opposite of what Dallas is when it comes to 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.440 run block it, you know, and then they've had problems 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.280 in protection. If I'm Dallas, yeah, I'm I'm hopeful. You 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.040 know the thing about Watson is that he's got this 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.920 escapability and he's got to He's almost like watching Mahomes play, 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.280 you know, when you escape and you just run your 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.760 left and throw at sixty yards. This guy's capable of 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.120 doing that, you know. And are you gonna be disciplined 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.720 enough to play in the secondary not have busted coverages? 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.280 Those all the things A fine line. It's just a 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.600 fine line for this team having to win or lose games. 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.840 He's on pace to be sex sixty eight times. How 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.040 about our guy? What's he on pace fifty? I figured 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.640 it out. Yeah, we're supposed to have an elite offensive 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.000 line fifty something that's what this league gives the six. 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:52.399 You find a way, you got a pressure. Look what 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.280 they did in the game. Those numbers could have been 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.879 terrible against Detroit. Yeah, I mean that guy was what 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:01.080 twenties four of thirty in the game. She's he could 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:02.800 have been. You know, he could be a lot worse 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.120 if they don't get the pressure in sacks on that guy. Yeah, 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:07.760 you could. You could throw for a ton of yards 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.320 and still lose these games. Again, we talked about Washington 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:15.119 being that last couple of years. Colts, last week Colts. Yeah, 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.960 Colts just abandoned the run. They knew they couldn't run. 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.399 They said, okay, let's but they have a quarterback and 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.000 receivers that are capable of putting up four hundred yards. 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.520 I don't think this crew does. So, you know, if 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.360 you want to take advantage of them, you know, take 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.399 advantage of them when you can. But you know, let's 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:33.879 not hang our hat on that. Yeah. I only tried 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.159 to run seventeen times. Yeah, but they are behind twenty 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:41.120 eight ten in did they stop the run or they 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.120 just abandoned it and say we got to catch up. 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.760 It's second half early that game. Early in that game, 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:50.280 they could not h the Colts could not run that ball. Yeah, 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:55.280 and you said, look, they're one in three. So to me, 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.160 the stat isn't misleading that they're good against the run, 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.160 because it's not like they've had a bunch of leads 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.160 in their first four games of the season. They only 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.600 threw the ball. They only ran the ball three times 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.480 the second half. Yeah, and one of the runs was 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:11.040 I think it was Andrew Luck for a first down 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:15.880 in nine yards or ten yards. Yeah. Well, I think 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.359 you're a you know what to wrap this segment up, 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.200 I think you guys are both right.

You gotta take advantage of if you can. 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.600 And but you know, are you built to do that? 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.440 That's the trick we'll find out.

Man? 0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:48.240 I appreciate that. I I think my call man. The closer 0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:52.080 to fund, the more excited I get. Good be at 0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:54.840 the game. Super my friends who like Datas fans and 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:58.240 Texas fansite. Hey, what's the buzz down there? Right? Now 0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:01.320 for Texans fans, is it crazy? Oh, it's real crazy. 0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:03.400 They think they're gonna win them, and they really think 0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:05.119 they gonna have a chance. But now I know it's 0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:07.600 gonna be a great game. I mean, I re respect 0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:09.679 the Houston taking you know a lot. You know, they 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:12.080 got a great defense. You know, you can't you know, 0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:17.120 uh shrunk watching great quarterback. But my but my thing 0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:19.600 is I'm more of a defense of type of minded 0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:22.239 person to play strong and safety in college. Um, so 0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:25.040 I'll pay attention more to the defense than anything. And 0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:27.760 so my thing is it's been documented well that Burron 0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.840 Jones has really been excelled at that corner position. And 0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:34.520 I noticed again be sure that you know, there was 0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:36.680 really thing that cheeto the whole game. So is it 0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:40.040 that they are starting to pay attention to that Baron 0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:42.440 Jones is really playing well on that side of the the field. 0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:44.560 And you know it's the league thought them taking notice 0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.159 that Baron Jones started to become a great corner And 0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:49.280 I don't want to say shut down yet, but you know, 0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:50.960 it kind of gets to that point where he's taking 0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:54.160 like the one half of that feel away. So um 0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:56.920 and then uh, that was my question. Then I also 0:26:56.960 --> 0:26:59.880 want to give a shout out to Big Joe Joe Looney. Yeah, 0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:02.240 really done a great job. Yeah, I'm sure taken a 0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:04.639 place for an all post center. And um and I 0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:06.159 really like the way he ran down the field on 0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:08.320 the lead put down man. They got me excited. I 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:10.560 was jumping up to Yeah. You have to see a big, 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:12.480 big guy running down a few of that fast. So 0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:16.760 um so I want to the film to talk about 0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:19.400 what I said about Baron Zones and um, hang up, listen, 0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:23.800 thank you appreciate the calls Byron Jones a shut down corner, Brian, 0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:25.680 you know what, This will be a good matchup for 0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:29.000 him this weekend though, if you know with DeAndre Hopkins 0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:31.359 in this crew, I mean and you know I mentioned 0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:35.280 Kiki Kut I mentioned him yesterday and don't forget Will Fuller. 0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:37.040 This is another one of those groups. I don't know 0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:39.440 if they can make the acrobatic catch. I know that 0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:43.399 I know that DeAndre Hopkins can. He's like playing against 0:27:43.440 --> 0:27:46.320 Odell Beckham. That's that's who he is. That you know 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:50.959 this electric receiver crossing round slants, doesn't matter. Throw him 0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:53.080 the ball short. He could take a short pass and 0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:55.440 go all the way with it, so they're gonna have 0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:57.480 to be ready for that. I will say this about it, 0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:59.440 and this is no slight to Byron Jones and the 0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:01.800 ways play. Most teams in the National Football League are 0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.760 right handed when they throw the ball, so you look 0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:07.080 at the way they attack, they usually attack the right 0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:10.400 side of the field. So that's the quarterbacks are are 0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.800 really throughout their lives. You know, the train to kind 0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:15.760 of throw the ball both ways. But if you look 0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:18.199 at the majority of the passes that are thrown the 0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:21.119 right sideline, the right area, right flat, those are areas. 0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:23.399 So a woozier is going to get a lot more work. 0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:26.080 You know. They like a Woozier's toughness. They like Byron 0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:29.439 jones toughness. But you don't have a lot of a 0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:32.159 lot of teams attack the left side of the field 0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:35.359 unless it's a left handed unless it's a left handed quarterback. 0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:37.399 And I'm trying to think in the league, who has 0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:39.880 a left handed quarterback. I'm sure I'm missing somebody that's 0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:43.400 left handed. That's uh. Do we have a left handed star? 0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:47.520 Do we have a left handed start? Ha ha, say 0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:50.160 a left handed coach? I said, a left handed quarterback? 0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:53.840 A quarterback is yes, a coach in the league. He 0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:55.960 probably uses the clicker in his left hand to watch 0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:59.719 take but uh but yeah, I think that to me 0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:02.080 that that Byron is you know, yeah, he's he's up 0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:04.120 to it. They've thrown to him a couple of different times. 0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:07.320 But I'm sure I'm missing the left handed quarterbacks. I've 0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:09.360 got one of the tip of my tongue, man, do 0:29:09.400 --> 0:29:13.280 you really Yeah, I can't remember who it is anyway, 0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:15.480 but it just shows you. Hey, the majority of the 0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:17.560 teams this league are right handed, and they then they 0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:19.760 focus on the right side of the field because of 0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:22.360 their quarterback. It's a great point. Yeah, yeah, but nothing 0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:24.840 against Byron. But because he's been he's you know, when 0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:27.560 they when they've thrown his direction, he's been up to 0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:31.200 the task. He just hasn't faced as many passes as say, 0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:34.040 with what Cheeto has. And that's no slam on Cheeto 0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:36.920 because I felt like Cheetos for as all the things 0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:39.480 that win his direction and kind of went badly for him. Oh, 0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:41.440 he played a pretty good game, you know. He led 0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:43.480 the team in tackles, I want to say, or was 0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:45.800 near the top of the team and tackles and a 0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:47.640 lot of it was because he was having to make plays, 0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:50.280 but those guys made some incredible catches on him. So 0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:52.720 you know, tip my hat to the Lions for the plays, 0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:54.760 and you know he's gonna have his hands full again 0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:57.560 this weekend as his Barron Jones and these safeties. That's 0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:00.200 the first time that's happened to Cheetah also, by the way, 0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:03.280 so it's not like they just for four games, everybody's 0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:07.920 been thrown at him, right, it just happened that the way. 0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:11.680 I mean, he threw some incredible passes, no question, and 0:30:11.760 --> 0:30:14.000 those guys made some great catches. It wasn't like he 0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:18.120 was beat now. To me, the only mistake he made 0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:20.920 was on the cover three on the final touchdown, didn't 0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:24.200 stay where he was supposted right, caught cheating looking inside 0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:29.080 at the at the slot receiver. But he's played awfully well. 0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:34.160 So you mentioned Kiki Kuti for the Texans. They seemed 0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:36.440 to move him all over the pages too. He was 0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:40.520 highly effective levin catches against Indianapolis last week, had a 0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:42.840 hundred yard They had a couple of receivers. Again, it's 0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:45.400 at least they overall, they had a hundred two hundred 0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:49.160 and sixty something yards with two receivers here rookie playing there. Yes, 0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:51.200 he's from Texas Tech. You know, though I didn't give 0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:53.600 him enough credit on the Draft show. Dane Brugler was 0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:56.560 really excited about him, as was Kevin Turner when we 0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:59.680 were all doing our drafts coverage and Katie had him 0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:01.400 actually in the third round and we were all trying 0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:02.920 to push him down to the bottom of the board. 0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:06.480 He looks like a really a fine slot player. Uh. 0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:08.320 You know, he had a drop in the game the 0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:09.920 other day. That would have been a big, big player. 0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:12.520 He'd had better numbers than that. But this guy's very 0:31:12.600 --> 0:31:13.760 keep well. You got to be able to run with 0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:15.720 him all day. They put him in the backfield too 0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:18.520 on occasion fake to jet sweep in the game last week. 0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:21.720 So Tavon Austin, he's maybe he's kind of their Tavon Austin, 0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:23.280 a guy that can move around do some different things, 0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:25.240 no doubt. Ye. I wish Tavon Austin would have caught 0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:27.200 that ball the other day because it was there. I 0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:29.440 thought it was there, and I really did, and you know, 0:31:29.520 --> 0:31:31.520 I mean it was It's a I didn't call it 0:31:31.560 --> 0:31:33.680 a tough chance because you know, we've seen him make 0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:36.240 plays like that down the field and practice and you 0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:39.000 know in Oxnard and stuff and haul it in everyd's like, oh, 0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:41.200 he should have extended his hands. But if he was 0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:44.560 six three he would have caught it. If Bryce Butler 0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:46.400 was there, he would have caught it. Because it came 0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:49.120 down he had to catch it low. Yeah, and the 0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:51.760 guy was able to come in with his hand and 0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:55.120 trying to interfere with him, and he basically scissored his arms. Yeah. 0:31:55.600 --> 0:31:58.400 They don't call interference anymore in this league. I don't think. Yeah, 0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:02.800 really there there's there's nothing called with extreme consistence. There 0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.360 was a couple in that game I thought questionable. You 0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:07.720 don't watch many Big twelve games, do you? Oh? I 0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:13.600 watched enough SEC games. Big twelve. They will let you. 0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:15.920 They will let you just kill receivers down the field. 0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:18.000 They don't care. They don't care. But they score a 0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.400 lot of points though too. All right, I mentioned practice, 0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:23.320 but we started talking receivers, and I just thought, let's 0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:25.640 just get this out of the way, all right. The 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.800 does Bryant if you want to call it news, then 0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:31.960 pop the does Bryant tweet that popped up yesterday. Yeah, 0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:35.480 what were your thoughts on that. He tweeted that responding 0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:38.640 to a fans question about where he wants to end 0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:41.680 up as a free agent, let me pull it up 0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:44.880 real quick, he said, I'd rather it be the Dallas Cowboys. 0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:47.840 If not, I'll be ready to play somewhere else. And man, 0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:53.880 that caught wildfire. Yeah. Twitter, hmmm, I knew you were 0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:57.360 gonna say that. Do you just try to set me up? Yeah? 0:32:57.400 --> 0:33:00.320 I want it. Yeah, make you take a shot at Twitter. Yeah, 0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:01.720 I want to get a Mickey's minute out of this time. 0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:03.320 We haven't done that in a while. Anything could be 0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:05.520 said on Twitter, right, you don't even have to mean it. 0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:07.880 Well he said it though, Yeah, Now I understand. I 0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:11.200 didn't take much of it, because, look, des Bryant was 0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:14.080 released by the Dallas Cowboys. It was not his decision 0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:16.719 to leave. I think he's in his heart. He's probably 0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:19.200 a Dallas Cowboy for life. I think he loved wearing 0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:21.680 the star, probably more than anybody I can remember covering. 0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:23.880 So it's not a shock to me that he'd want 0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:26.320 to come back now. It's just the first time though, 0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:28.680 that he's kind of called out the team in a 0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:31.880 way of I'd like to play like he's kind of 0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:36.000 hinting that he knows something that we don't know. You 0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:41.960 could is does grand standing here? Mickey? Well, my question 0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:45.720 is this, I mean, why did they do it in 0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:49.640 the first place? Yeah, and are they so desperate that 0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:53.520 they'll forgive themselves for the reason they did it in 0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:55.360 the first place because they didn't have to do it. 0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:59.520 In my opinion, it wasn't financial either. Yeah, if you 0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:01.560 ask me, my opinion, he would be the best receiver 0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:04.120 on this team. Well, he was the best receiver on 0:34:04.160 --> 0:34:06.040 the team last year. If he came back, he would 0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:08.879 certainly be the most accomplished if he came back. If 0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:11.680 he came back, yeah, he was the best last year. Okay, 0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:14.000 So and it was a bad year for him. Yeah, 0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:17.640 if this if this team, if and you know rightfully, so, 0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:19.960 these guys are doing the best they can. You know, 0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:23.600 they're trying. Alan Hearns and these guys, I mean they're trying. 0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:25.920 They've got some they've got some you know, they've got 0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:27.480 some things they got to work on. But for the 0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:31.120 most part, you know, but he if he brought him back, 0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:33.520 he would be the best. And I hope I'm not 0:34:33.560 --> 0:34:36.360 speaking I'm speaking of me. I'm not speaking for you, guys. 0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.520 I think he would be the best receiver on this team, 0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:42.760 even with all the things that with all the things 0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:44.880 that are kind of swirling about, even not you know, 0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:48.240 practicing or playing or being in camp and all that stuff, 0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:50.680 I still think he'd be the best receiver on this team. 0:34:50.680 --> 0:34:55.680 He would until he drops one. Well, the team has 0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:58.120 already a drop. No, I'm saying, everybody will be holloing. 0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:01.000 I don't disagree with you. He was the best receiver 0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:02.560 last year. I didn't want to. I didn't want to 0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:04.759 put anybody on the spot. But I'll say that. I'll 0:35:04.800 --> 0:35:06.960 say that if I think that he would be if 0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:09.759 he came in and was in shape, he would be 0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:11.759 the best receiver on this team, all right. I would 0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:14.080 give that. I would give that to Cole Beasley maybe, 0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:16.239 but that's a different type of receiver that you know. 0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:19.160 Dez gives you something consistently on the outside. At least 0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:21.160 somebody maybe do account for so. I hear you there, 0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:23.799 I just don't. I don't see it. I think they've 0:35:23.800 --> 0:35:27.200 gone in a certain direction and they probably want to 0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:29.799 see it through, and they made that decision, and you 0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:32.719 know that maybe they want front office too. You want 0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:34.799 to say, Okay, we've gone this route and we wanted 0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:37.399 to give it time and see it bear out. And 0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.319 Mickey's been talking about, look, we got to see this through. 0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:45.600 We gotta give and not seeing everybody's trying to read 0:35:45.640 --> 0:35:48.759 into what Steven said, you know, and he has been 0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:51.319 consistent about that. You know, we're not going to rule 0:35:51.360 --> 0:35:54.440 out anything, right, and you should shouldn't and you shouldn't, right, 0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:56.680 you shouldn't. I mean that's if he says, if he 0:35:56.760 --> 0:36:00.160 says absolutely no, then that gives Dez kind of a 0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:02.640 black mark to try to find a job. Right, they 0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:05.239 would like him to find a job, solute, But we're 0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.200 five weeks into the season. Yeah, does he want to 0:36:08.200 --> 0:36:11.680 play football? You know, it's it's it's it's something that 0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:14.279 you've been really consistent about saying, Mickey, And I think 0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:18.080 it's worth worth talking about. Does he want to play football? 0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:19.839 I think you know, I've I've heard you say that. 0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:21.400 I've been with you on all these shows and I 0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:22.879 was with you last night and I think you said 0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:26.480 the same thing, and I'm and it's worth talking about. 0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:30.080 Does he really want? Yeah? Does he really is? Why 0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:32.400 is he now having to get in shape? Why was 0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:36.720 he not in shape, and you know earlier. And that's 0:36:36.840 --> 0:36:40.120 that's the thing that I that's the he's he's not wrong, 0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:43.600 and does he ask? Yeah? And does he I'll take 0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:45.160 it another step. Do you does he want to play 0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:48.560 football somewhere besides Dallas? Because I just said, and I'm 0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:50.359 not in his head, I don't know. I haven't talked 0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:53.600 to Daz, but you know, I just said, I think 0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:55.720 he is more. He has been more proud of wearing 0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:59.000 that star in his helmet than anybody question. I mean, 0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:02.239 no question. This guy, no questions. So yeah, I mean, 0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:04.239 it's it's fair to bring it up. But you know, 0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:07.040 maybe he's also trying to look for the right situation, 0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:10.680 you know, elsewhere besides here. And see, I don't think 0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:12.680 the thing that does I don't think Dez has put 0:37:12.719 --> 0:37:16.160 aside the fact that he probably is not going to 0:37:16.200 --> 0:37:18.640 be a Dallas Cowboy anymore. I don't know if and 0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:20.920 this is to Mickey's point, I don't know if he 0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:23.560 wants to go be a Cleveland Brown or New Orleans 0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:26.640 Saint or Chicago Bear. I don't know. I don't know, 0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:28.920 if you know, or Green Bay Packer turned down an 0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:31.799 offer reportedly from the Ravens. Yeah, I don't know if 0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:34.600 he necessarily and maybe maybe instead of saying does he 0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:36.720 want to play football? Does he want to play football 0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:38.759 for another team? Yeah? Does he want to move to 0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:42.919 New Jersey and play with the Jets? Yeah? See, I 0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.399 trust me. I'd love to see Dez Bryant back here, 0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:47.719 and I think he could help. I really do. I 0:37:47.760 --> 0:37:50.440 think he could give them a little energy, you know, 0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:52.759 on the offense, a little jump over there. I mean, 0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:56.359 is it is it any worse than what's been going on? 0:37:56.440 --> 0:37:59.160 And I don't mean worse. I just don't see the 0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:03.080 overall productivity. So your biggest play in the game the 0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:05.680 other day was made by a running back down the field. 0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:09.959 You know, that was your biggest play. So I don't 0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:12.320 know necessary. I mean, I think these receivers are good. 0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:14.960 And the thing is, I think the chance. I think 0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:17.680 Gallup has a chance to be really good. But right 0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:20.560 now he's not. You know, so where where are you? 0:38:20.640 --> 0:38:22.640 Cole Beasley? I think is playing as well as he 0:38:22.680 --> 0:38:26.920 could play in his role. He's not an outside receiver consistently. 0:38:27.000 --> 0:38:29.200 It's I mean, they're they're trying to Alan Herns. I 0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:31.319 thought Alan Hearns played the best he's played the other day, 0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:34.920 Thompson was a non factor. See to me, if you're 0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:36.479 gonna tell me you're gonna go out and you're willing 0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:39.680 to get and to go out and get the you know, 0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:44.680 the guy off the street. Butler, Butler really Okay, Well, 0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:46.480 why why wouldn't you go get the other guy off 0:38:46.520 --> 0:38:49.640 the street? You know, I have more confidence in the 0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:54.279 in Bryant than I do. Butler, Well, how much of 0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:58.160 the decision to let does go was for whatever reason? 0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:00.279 And they seem to get on along fine and off 0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:02.160 of the field, but on the field, he and Dak 0:39:02.640 --> 0:39:06.160 they just didn't have a connection. You're right, you're right, 0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:09.800 and and there's but you got to remember this about 0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:15.000 Dez that he left his and you guys can correct 0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:18.719 me if I'm wrong. He left his friendship Dez with 0:39:18.800 --> 0:39:24.000 Tony Romo to support Dak Prescott in that twenty sixteen season. 0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:27.440 He basically said, Okay, for the good of the locker 0:39:27.520 --> 0:39:31.040 room or for the good of this team, we need 0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:34.399 to play with Dak Prescott, even though Tony Romo had 0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:38.279 made him millions of dollars throwing him the football. But 0:39:38.360 --> 0:39:41.360 he put that aside and said, hey, we gotta go 0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:43.680 with this guy maybe, you know, I mean he in 0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:46.080 the locker room. I mean that's important. I mean he 0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:48.400 could have come out and said, you know, this is stupid, 0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.279 this is foolish. You know, we need to go back 0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:55.120 to Tony here. But he didn't, you know. So I 0:39:56.239 --> 0:39:59.040 my thoughts are though that you know that there's a 0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:01.560 lot of things that happen. There's a lot of things 0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:06.279 that happened. But Dak Prescott should also remember that at 0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:09.960 that point Dez Bryant had his back when when he 0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:12.520 was a young guy and he really didn't have I mean, 0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:14.160 people were kind of looking at him like can he 0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:17.600 do this? Des Bryant's one of those guys, as some said, 0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:20.640 we gotta ride with this, we gotta go. Yeah. So, 0:40:20.760 --> 0:40:23.359 I mean, if if Dak has problems, I understand, I'm 0:40:23.360 --> 0:40:25.239 not gonna act like I'm Dak Prescott. I'm not saying 0:40:25.360 --> 0:40:27.680 Dak doesn't want him back. I'm just saying their chemistry 0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:30.680 on the field, they just they never seemed to click. Yeah, 0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:36.479 especially last year for whatever reason. Clock seventy passes last 0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:41.720 year sixty nine. Sorry, yeah he was targeted, but hundred yeah, 0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:45.080 I mean yeah, there were plays, there were more plays 0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:47.520 to be made that weren't made. So I think so 0:40:47.719 --> 0:40:50.120 is that why they let him go? Well, let's also 0:40:50.160 --> 0:40:52.759 remember though, how many games did did I mean did 0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:57.120 does play when they didn't have didn't have the running game, 0:40:57.160 --> 0:41:00.239 they didn't have the six games suspension, and that there's 0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:03.319 no question that with Zeke being the focal point, you 0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:05.759 can't just look at a receiver's numbers on this team 0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:08.400 and say, yeah, that's a bad year. Yeah, there's no 0:41:08.520 --> 0:41:10.879 question who was gonna beat him last year when Zeke 0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:13.200 was gone? Who was gonna beat you if you were 0:41:13.239 --> 0:41:17.600 the defensive coordinator. Yeah it see, I make sure he doesn't. Well, 0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:20.200 I tried to take cole Beasilely away too. They did, 0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:23.400 I mean, they focused on him maybe more than does it. 0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:26.480 No question, Well, the linebacker wasn't gonna cover Dez. There's 0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:30.080 no question to me. This is where if if if 0:41:30.080 --> 0:41:35.240 there were And again twitter edwarder reaching out to people 0:41:35.239 --> 0:41:38.719 in the organization, people saying no, that's not gonna happen. Okay, 0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:41.799 I don't know who Edward talks too, but he is respected. 0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:44.240 He did tweet that last Yeah, So I'm just saying, 0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:46.640 I mean, we can you know some of us, you know, 0:41:46.680 --> 0:41:49.360 we live here, We'll figure things out. But you know, 0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:52.440 I think right now it's des wanting to play for 0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:55.399 the Cowboys. The Cowboys are saying, well, we'll see, We'll 0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:57.279 see as we get down the down the road. But 0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:59.480 it goes back to why did they let him go 0:41:59.520 --> 0:42:02.160 in the first place. Why? Why do you think that 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:04.440 that reason still got to be there? Well, why do 0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:07.680 you think I never got a good answer on that? 0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:13.080 Culture change? Maybe more of it than maybe I just 0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:16.560 I was told by two or three different people that 0:42:16.560 --> 0:42:19.640 that Jason Garrett was the last guy that was in 0:42:19.719 --> 0:42:22.600 on this. That not mean last guy that brought into 0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:25.600 the deal, that he was the one that was very 0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:28.360 adamant about are we doing the right thing? And I 0:42:28.440 --> 0:42:32.040 and I've and I've busted Jason Garrett hard, you know, 0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:33.400 and there's things I think. I think he does a 0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:35.640 great job at personnel. I questioned some of his coach 0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:38.680 and stuff. But he was the last guy. I was 0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:41.800 told from from good sources that he was the last 0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:44.040 one in. And it looks and you know, if that's 0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:47.399 if that's the case, then whatever the reason was, it's 0:42:47.440 --> 0:42:51.320 still there. It's still there. And whether that's Lenahan, Stephen Jones, 0:42:51.480 --> 0:42:55.600 Jerry Jones, Will McClay, Sanjay Lyle. I don't know, I 0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:58.879 don't know who, but there there were people that and 0:42:58.880 --> 0:43:01.200 and they like to tell us that they like to 0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:05.359 make group decisions. So if if you know, say what 0:43:05.400 --> 0:43:08.719 you want. But I will give the coach credit. He did. 0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:10.680 He was like, when are we really doing the right 0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:13.399 thing here? And I was told that from a couple 0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:16.839 of different people I really trust. So let's take that 0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:19.879 with whatever you think. All right, let's take our final break. 0:43:20.000 --> 0:43:22.480 We come back. That's a way to get a segment 0:43:22.520 --> 0:43:24.640 out of the way. That's a yeah, that's a long 0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:26.600 segment too. By the way, we only got a few minutes. 0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:29.680 Let No. Eight five two two nine seven is the 0:43:29.719 --> 0:43:31.759 number if you want to join the conversation.

By 0:47:03.800 --> 0:47:06.239 time I do TV at thirty, it's time to shave. 0:47:06.440 --> 0:47:09.120 He's on TV a lot. That's why you have to shave. Yeah, 0:47:09.120 --> 0:47:10.480 I wouldn't shave if I had to be on TV. 0:47:10.600 --> 0:47:14.560 I am shaving daily because of TV. Derek Eagleton told 0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:16.960 me start shaving. You look ridiculous when you were too 0:47:17.040 --> 0:47:21.480 much facial hair not ridiculous. But the yeah, I'm I'm 0:47:21.719 --> 0:47:24.560 The lube is good. The beardlube is good. The facial 0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:29.000 the facial wash is good. I'm in butter moisturizer. Afterwards, 0:47:29.000 --> 0:47:32.279 it's butter you got it, get that butterface? Young, We 0:47:32.400 --> 0:47:37.399 look all right? Speak for yourself. Yeah, practice today, right, yes, 0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:40.920 practice practice? What do you expect to see out there today? 0:47:41.000 --> 0:47:43.080 What could we see? We don't have a report yet, 0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:45.319 but they got some some guys who were banged up. 0:47:45.360 --> 0:47:48.839 Terrence Williams wasn't with the team over the weekend, so 0:47:49.000 --> 0:47:51.120 the head coach said he'd be back on Tuesday. He 0:47:51.200 --> 0:47:53.520 was back in the building yesterday. Okay, yes, so he 0:47:53.560 --> 0:47:59.480 should be back at practice. I think that MALIEK. Collins 0:47:59.600 --> 0:48:03.120 will be limited. I think he'll do something. I don't 0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:05.160 know if it'll be enough. See if he's got that 0:48:06.760 --> 0:48:11.440 body wrap off his knee, it's pretty extensive. Although he 0:48:11.520 --> 0:48:14.799 was moving well. Yeah, he's on the chords. Last week 0:48:14.840 --> 0:48:19.120 said human log. Yeah, human logs got the calf wrapped up. 0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:21.160 Is that what you said the human log did? Yes? 0:48:21.440 --> 0:48:23.880 Now what that means for his practice status, I don't know. 0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:27.760 Jason Garrett was hopeful. I think you'll see David Irving 0:48:27.760 --> 0:48:32.480 out there doing something. Got your yeah, undertackle there by 0:48:32.480 --> 0:48:34.080 the way I did the math, this will be if 0:48:34.120 --> 0:48:36.239 they go in pads today. This will be his first 0:48:36.239 --> 0:48:39.560 practice in pads in three hundred and eight days. I 0:48:39.600 --> 0:48:41.919 mean it's almost a year, folkus, that's a long time. 0:48:41.960 --> 0:48:44.799 You have to go back to November right two days 0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:48.040 before Thanksgiving, because he played the Thanksgiving game, got the concussion, 0:48:48.080 --> 0:48:49.719 didn't play the rest of the season. Yeah, and he 0:48:49.760 --> 0:48:53.879 didn't do anything obviously, he missed eight games, only played eight. 0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:57.879 Can I make an observation on David Irvy, Yes, I'm 0:48:57.920 --> 0:48:59.759 gonna try and read into what the head coach said 0:48:59.760 --> 0:49:03.040 about at him, and the head coach called him a 0:49:03.080 --> 0:49:07.080 freak of nature, which made me believe that he's going 0:49:07.160 --> 0:49:11.000 to play this weekend. I'm thinking, I mean, just by 0:49:11.040 --> 0:49:13.160 the way, and I know they have some issues that 0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:15.719 really at the nose tackle more than they do the 0:49:15.880 --> 0:49:19.520 under tackle. Well, he can play. Let him play either 0:49:19.600 --> 0:49:24.200 one but the way the head coach called him a 0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:26.239 he kind of looked away and said, you know, he's 0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:29.480 a freak of nature. That led me to believe that man, 0:49:29.520 --> 0:49:31.560 he's going to try and make this, not make he 0:49:31.680 --> 0:49:34.319 is going to give this guy every opportunity to play 0:49:34.320 --> 0:49:37.480 this week fifteen snaps. That's what I said, And as 0:49:37.480 --> 0:49:39.600 I said, and I think I said it last night. 0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:43.880 If he does nothing else on nickel downs but stand 0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:46.960 up at six to seven and raise his hand arms 0:49:47.000 --> 0:49:51.040 above his head, that's pressure on the quarterback because you've 0:49:51.040 --> 0:49:53.480 just taken away a passingly. Yeah, we'll let him take 0:49:53.520 --> 0:49:56.360 advantage of Zach Fulton that plays guard for the Texans 0:49:56.920 --> 0:49:59.760 because he is a big, lumbery guy and that quickness 0:49:59.800 --> 0:50:02.360 to length to reach all that stuff. Say, what you 0:50:02.480 --> 0:50:05.279 don't want is to get him hurt. Yeah, Like he 0:50:05.360 --> 0:50:07.960 pulls a hamstring, right, and then he's gonna miss three 0:50:08.000 --> 0:50:10.839 more games. And now at seven. What happened to him 0:50:10.840 --> 0:50:12.919 at the end of the the season was a concussions. Got 0:50:12.920 --> 0:50:17.520 a concussion. Yeah, so he missed eight games. Geez, yeah, 0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:20.120 so here four games the suspension last year, so and 0:50:20.200 --> 0:50:22.839 this is his last year I was contract to concussion. 0:50:23.000 --> 0:50:27.840 Was Thanksgiving? Yes, so he probably didn't even hardly practiced 0:50:27.880 --> 0:50:31.680 that week. Well, I looked it up. He practiced the 0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:36.880 last practice Tuesday before Thanksgiving. It was probably beginning shells probably, 0:50:37.120 --> 0:50:39.600 so he probably hadn't had pads on unless he's been 0:50:39.680 --> 0:50:42.759 running around LA with pads on when he was working out. 0:50:43.120 --> 0:50:46.920 Knowing him, he might no with the spikes on him. 0:50:47.719 --> 0:50:53.480 He might be hanging out, you know, like some club Michael, 0:50:53.880 --> 0:50:57.360 when Michael Irvin was rehabbing his ACL and he was 0:50:57.520 --> 0:51:01.400 running out at Valley Ranch with bier Bar. I just swear, 0:51:01.480 --> 0:51:04.040 I'm trying about the pad like it's in the black hole, 0:51:04.160 --> 0:51:07.960 that kind of that look. Yeah, be like what he 0:51:08.040 --> 0:51:10.520 going into the hospital in Baltimore with his pads on, 0:51:10.640 --> 0:51:13.479 cleats that's a great story. Yeah his cleats on? Yeah, 0:51:13.600 --> 0:51:16.319 what was that story behind his forearm? He broke his 0:51:16.400 --> 0:51:19.120 forearm in the game. He heard his forearm and they're 0:51:19.160 --> 0:51:22.480 in the New Stadium in Baltimore and they claimed that 0:51:22.600 --> 0:51:26.600 the X ray room wasn't functioning properly. So Britt Brown 0:51:26.719 --> 0:51:31.040 walked him across the street in full uniform to the hospital. Yeah, 0:51:31.280 --> 0:51:35.279 went to the emergency roob I needed X ray? Wow, Yeah, 0:51:35.360 --> 0:51:42.080 no time to check in here. Yeah, don't worry about Yeah, exactly, 0:51:42.160 --> 0:51:44.920 I don't know what the group number is. X ray. 0:51:45.000 --> 0:51:46.560 I don't have time to fill out the forms. Just 0:51:46.640 --> 0:51:49.400 give me the x ray X rate it. It was fractured. 0:51:49.640 --> 0:51:51.920 And what his response was, can you tape it up 0:51:51.920 --> 0:51:54.360 and I will go play. Yeah that sounds like Woody, 0:51:54.440 --> 0:51:56.960 that's wood Yeah exactly right. All right, Well, well, well 0:51:57.040 --> 0:52:01.400 they've got they've got more questions inside defensive tackle and 0:52:01.480 --> 0:52:03.759 how they're going to play the rotation. I'm interested though, 0:52:03.760 --> 0:52:06.080 once they do get the rotation, when the human log 0:52:06.239 --> 0:52:08.799 and Collins and those guys are all back, what does 0:52:08.800 --> 0:52:10.960 that do for Crawford? And what does that do to Taco? 0:52:11.719 --> 0:52:13.680 Does that mean now? And does what does that do 0:52:13.920 --> 0:52:19.239 for what does that do for Randy? For Randy Gregory? Yeah, 0:52:19.239 --> 0:52:21.319 I mean, I'm just talking about if you move, if 0:52:21.360 --> 0:52:25.440 you move Crawford back to defensive end, I don't know 0:52:25.480 --> 0:52:27.400 if I want to do that. We talked about that 0:52:27.440 --> 0:52:28.800 in the mail bag this morning. Then what are you 0:52:28.800 --> 0:52:30.600 gonna do with David Irvin? Is he gonna be a 0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:35.680 fifteen twenty play player game? He might He might need 0:52:35.719 --> 0:52:37.920 a couple weeks of that. I could see Ross being 0:52:37.960 --> 0:52:40.680 a guy that's out by the way. Maybe they with 0:52:40.719 --> 0:52:42.480 all these guys that they do, get them all coming back. 0:52:42.520 --> 0:52:44.960 If they need that spot for David Irvin, maybe it 0:52:45.040 --> 0:52:46.720 is going to be one of those guys, and somebody 0:52:46.760 --> 0:52:49.880 does need to be Saturday, we focused in. I focused 0:52:49.880 --> 0:52:52.680 in on the wide receivers. Maybe we need to focus 0:52:52.719 --> 0:52:56.880 in on those defensive tackles Read or Ross. You know, 0:52:57.000 --> 0:53:00.520 he did play a little one technique initially before he 0:53:00.600 --> 0:53:03.040 got to the three, right, But I wonder if that's 0:53:03.080 --> 0:53:04.920 going to be the case. And when you get everybody 0:53:05.000 --> 0:53:09.080 back healthy, is that going to affect Taco's ability to 0:53:09.120 --> 0:53:10.840 start it right in? And what does that due to 0:53:10.920 --> 0:53:14.360 Randy Gregory? You got a glut there on the outside 0:53:14.360 --> 0:53:16.280 of all of a sudden. Oh boy, what a problem 0:53:16.400 --> 0:53:19.040 to hit. It's a good problem now, absolutely, And they 0:53:19.080 --> 0:53:24.640 have a couple injuries too. Will Fuller dealing with a hamstring. Yeah, 0:53:24.719 --> 0:53:26.520 it'd be nice if he didn't play. Happened in the 0:53:26.520 --> 0:53:31.400 game last week. Yeah, Lamar the running back. All they'll 0:53:31.440 --> 0:53:34.359 say is he's banged up. They are, he's banged up 0:53:34.360 --> 0:53:36.520 because they don't block for him. He gets he gets 0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:38.960 hit a lot. They're doing hockey on him. It's just 0:53:39.040 --> 0:53:41.640 upper body injuries, not even that it's just banged up, 0:53:41.719 --> 0:53:47.520 no details. And then their guard h Calamente. Yes, he 0:53:47.680 --> 0:53:51.520 says he has been bothered by a knee. He missed 0:53:51.520 --> 0:53:54.000 the previous game and then he came out and came 0:53:54.040 --> 0:53:57.440 back in against the Colts. So he's dealing with a 0:53:57.520 --> 0:53:59.680 knee problem. So they've got a couple of things that 0:53:59.719 --> 0:54:02.839 they're gotta check out. All right, let's grab one more 0:54:02.840 --> 0:54:07.040 phone call before we get out of here. Phil in Louisiana, Hey, guys, 0:54:07.120 --> 0:54:13.200 take us home. What's up? All right? Take you home? Okay? Finish? Uh? 0:54:15.040 --> 0:54:19.319 Oh Phil? Hang on, Phil, walk about four feet? Walk 0:54:19.320 --> 0:54:25.800 outside Phil? Okay? Where what city? Where? Manufactured house? I'm in? Okay, 0:54:25.880 --> 0:54:28.359 there you go, man. Yeah, Brian, I was reading some 0:54:28.440 --> 0:54:32.560 experts from Gary Meyer's new book, and it just reminded 0:54:32.600 --> 0:54:35.080 me of a couple of things. First thing it reminded 0:54:35.120 --> 0:54:38.720 me of is how much I missed Randy Galloway's writing 0:54:39.120 --> 0:54:43.000 from the Secondly, it reminded me of how I'm not 0:54:43.000 --> 0:54:44.800 saying the average fan because I do wouldn't want to 0:54:44.800 --> 0:54:46.680 have gone that far. But reminded me how much I 0:54:46.680 --> 0:54:50.440 have to temper my enthusiasm about the long term success 0:54:50.440 --> 0:54:54.480 of the franchise with Jerry and the way he has 0:54:54.520 --> 0:54:57.360 a litmus test for coaches, it just it was almost 0:54:57.360 --> 0:55:01.120 deflating to the point I just wondered if anybody, any 0:55:01.120 --> 0:55:03.719 of you guys felt like playing Randy Galloway right now 0:55:03.760 --> 0:55:06.200 and tell me what he how would would get Randy 0:55:06.200 --> 0:55:10.480 Galliway say, I remember that article he said, well, they're 0:55:10.480 --> 0:55:14.200 gonna fire the general manager. Jerry's not gonna fire. So 0:55:14.520 --> 0:55:18.880 that's that was one of my favorite Randy Galliway stories. Yeah, yeah, Randy, 0:55:19.000 --> 0:55:21.319 Randy was grab did radio. Randy, matter of fact, brought 0:55:21.320 --> 0:55:23.799 me into the media side him and John Lund who 0:55:23.840 --> 0:55:26.279 do who does work out in San Francisco in the 0:55:26.320 --> 0:55:30.520 Bay Area now, and Randy would always tell me, he 0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:33.239 would say, broad us, watch what I'm gonna do here. 0:55:33.360 --> 0:55:36.799 I'm going to I'm gonna fire Tony Romo, I'm gonna 0:55:36.800 --> 0:55:39.200 trade Dez Brighton. He would do that. He would say 0:55:39.239 --> 0:55:42.799 that just to get people riled up on the just 0:55:42.840 --> 0:55:45.400 to get people riled up on the line. Randy taught me, 0:55:45.400 --> 0:55:47.200 he said, hey, you get fifty percent of people that 0:55:47.239 --> 0:55:49.640 hate you, fifty percent of people that love you. He goes, 0:55:49.680 --> 0:55:52.280 you're doing a pretty good job, So that's you always 0:55:52.360 --> 0:55:55.520 kind of strive for there. But yeah, I just think, yeah, 0:55:55.760 --> 0:55:57.800 I'm not a huge Gary Myers fan, so I probably 0:55:57.800 --> 0:56:00.839 won't read his book. But anyway, I got it if 0:56:00.840 --> 0:56:02.600 you want it. No, I don't want to read Gary Myers. 0:56:02.640 --> 0:56:04.840 I'm not a big Gary Mars fan. But anyway, I 0:56:04.920 --> 0:56:08.640 just feel like though that you know, this the ownership here, 0:56:08.680 --> 0:56:10.279 I mean, if that's where we're going to, you know, 0:56:10.320 --> 0:56:12.239 he is the general manager. A long time ago, Al 0:56:12.320 --> 0:56:14.440 Davis told him. He says, you don't need a general manager. 0:56:14.520 --> 0:56:16.920 You can run this team yourself. That's as an owner, 0:56:16.960 --> 0:56:20.040 you have that right. And you know that's that's the 0:56:20.080 --> 0:56:22.719 direction he's taken. For the good, for the bad. You know, 0:56:22.840 --> 0:56:24.960 I think he's he's you know, he's had his proud 0:56:25.040 --> 0:56:28.680 moments where he won the Executive of the Year, and 0:56:28.719 --> 0:56:30.840 he had his bad moments where we weren't picking players 0:56:30.960 --> 0:56:32.520 very well in the early two thousands and he had 0:56:32.560 --> 0:56:34.719 to make a decision on Bill Parcels. When did he 0:56:34.760 --> 0:56:37.520 win Executive of the year? Uh? Two years ago. Two 0:56:37.600 --> 0:56:41.719 years ago he was he was executive two years ago. 0:56:41.800 --> 0:56:44.120 He was Executive of the year when the head coach 0:56:44.239 --> 0:56:45.719 was a head Coach of the Year, right of the 0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:50.000 year too, and so he I asked Jerry that question too. 0:56:50.000 --> 0:56:52.279 I go, is prouder than winning a Super Bowl? And 0:56:52.320 --> 0:56:55.200 he said, damn close? You know. So you know it, 0:56:55.520 --> 0:56:58.319 take what you want, the good the bad. This guy 0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:00.239 does pour his heart and soul and his in his 0:57:00.440 --> 0:57:05.000 pocketbook into this football team. Has it always been successful? No, 0:57:05.120 --> 0:57:06.880 it hasn't, has it? But it has it? You know, 0:57:07.080 --> 0:57:09.719 it's it's not from trying. This guy does try, and 0:57:09.760 --> 0:57:12.040 we'll see how it all plays out. You hear it 0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:14.840 coming up? Was that the year without Romo? It was? 0:57:14.960 --> 0:57:18.000 And they both won those awards. Yes, every time I've 0:57:18.000 --> 0:57:20.440 tried to fire Garrett, he's won thirteen twelve games in 0:57:20.480 --> 0:57:23.080 thirteen games. So Will McClay should have won some awards 0:57:23.120 --> 0:57:26.160 that year, Yeah, he should have. Draft was pretty pretty stellar. 0:57:26.200 --> 0:57:27.800 He should have had a Draft award. He would have 0:57:27.800 --> 0:57:30.360 won it that year. That's right, that's right, all right, 0:57:30.400 --> 0:57:33.320 we're out of time. I missed my live read Cowboys 0:57:33.320 --> 0:57:37.240 taken on the Jacksonville Jaguars October fourteenth on Sunday. Tickets 0:57:37.240 --> 0:57:39.280 on sale now at Dallas Cowboys dot com.
