36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,480

42
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: lot of interesting things going on right now. We did

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: get some interesting news last night. Cowboys or the NFL

44
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: announced Pro Bowl for this year. Cowboys get seven players

45
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: Zack Martin, Michael Parsons, Trayvon dig Ceedee lamb To, Marcus Lawrence,

46
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, and Cavante Turpin make the Pro Bowl squad. Uh,

47
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: you're surprised by any of those names? Well you are.

48
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, how do you say Cavante Turpin?

49
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: T It's like a question mark. That's my favorite one

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: by far. I mean it is. Actually right when we

51
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: were starting the show, I just I just laughed to

52
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: myself because I just thought about a training camp conversation

53
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: that we didn't have, but let's say we did. We're

54
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: standing out there. Oh, they brought this guy in and

55
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: felt he's gonna make the Pro Bowl this year. Yeah,

56
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: how about make the team. Oh, he's gonna make the

57
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: team and he's gonna make the Pro Bowl. I mean

58
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: it would be you'd be laughed at, you know, the

59
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: entire day. And it just just been He's he's earned it,

60
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: and and you know, and I really believe he is

61
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: an underrated weapon. I think he's a guy that that

62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: really you have to be cognitant of and just watch

63
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: the way they punt to him. Punched it straight up

64
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: in the area. Really doesn't get a lot of chances. Yeah,

65
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: it's interesting if you're sitting there in Oxnard and you

66
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: bring that kid in. I remember when we first saw

67
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: him art Like, we're going, yeah, it's somebody. Yeah, who's

68
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: whose kids work in the camp this year? You know,

69
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: kind of like Will McClay son. Yeah, you know, you

70
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: got to give the Cowboys pro personnel guys a lot

71
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: of credit. You know, that's what you get. You know,

72
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: you watch USFL tape and you kind of have an idea.

73
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: You talk to coaches, You're like, you know, did they

74
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: battle anybody for him? Or was this just a straight

75
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: let's go get the MVP of the USFL, right and

76
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: he's a four you know TCU, Yeah, probably that was

77
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: that was yeah, I mean yeah, well, and also it's

78
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: also be clear. I know, I know Brian you had

79
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: talked about I think you had said you talk to

80
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: your gang of seven. Yeah, and it wasn't like teams

81
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: didn't know of this guy, no of his talent. There

82
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: were things off the field, right deared all of them away.

83
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: Right right. We had that discussion and I was just

84
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: kind of like, but you know, pro personnel guys. I

85
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: mean that's you know, whoever whoever had the USFL had

86
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: that team whatever. That guy gets a steak. You know,

87
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: you're going out to Manny's in Minneapolis and you're gonna

88
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: get to towers and all that stuff like that. Yeah,

89
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: so I mean, yeah, it's it's a to me. That's that.

90
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: That's you know, Stephen Jones always comes on and we

91
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: kind of laugh at him. I know, I could always

92
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, of evaluation and personnel, it's always a twenty

93
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: four seven job and you're like, yeah, it is okay,

94
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: and then you see that and something like that. You

95
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: go out and you get a guy in the summertime

96
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, he's a Pro Bowl.

97
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: You know, we had a similar thing happened in Green

98
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: Bay with Desmond Howard. You know, Desmond Howard was not

99
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: but Desmond Howard was a fifth overall pick. Yeah, right,

100
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: but you still have where also you go get him,

101
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: he's on your team and then by the end of

102
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: the year he's helping you win a Super Bowl. So

103
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, that's the kind of thing that's scouts when

104
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: they do their job. It's a it's a brilliant thing,

105
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: you know. Washington put out a really good video. It

106
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: was actually really really really good just a reaction of

107
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: these and he started thinking. I started thinking, oh, how

108
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: would a video like that work for us? And I

109
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: started going through how each player in my mind would react.

110
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: And I just laughed when he came up to Turpin

111
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: because he would have been just he's just like a

112
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: little kid, like you talk to him and he's like

113
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: like smiling and just like yeah, he'll be like, oh

114
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: that's cool, man, Yeah, yeah, and just a smile. So

115
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm very knowing his career in his background, I'm very

116
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: happy for what he has been able to accomplish here.

117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: He's a guy that first time I saw him in person,

118
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, don't get hit. He's gonna get killed

119
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: out there. He's tiny, Like well he's yeah. So very

120
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: very happy for him. But I do know that a

121
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: lot of people were surprised about DeMarcus Lawrence making the

122
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl? Are you guys surprised about it? Because he's

123
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: on our show every Thursday. We were pushing for that

124
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: thing hard, you guys, y'all working during that interview every week.

125
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: I listened to it. Oh yeah, to take it a

126
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: good question, pull name out, Yeah, we have a we

127
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: have a good one. Yeah. I'll tell you what's funny

128
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: though about the Ron River at the Commanders though. The

129
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: thing with that, if it was Turpin, you bring him

130
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: in and you kind of play it slow played a

131
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: little bit. He's probably thinking you signed Odell Beckham. You know,

132
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: you're probably he's probably thinking, oh, they're about to take

133
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: my roster spot. Yeah, all of a sudden, hey you

134
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl. Oh my god, it get it crazy.

135
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: I just with him more than anything. And you kind

136
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: of mentioned it. But like you know, in today's world

137
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: of where where we are, you don't you don't always

138
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: get a second chance, especially when you go through some

139
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: of the issues that he did and he went through

140
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: and uh and you know, and stuff that he put

141
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: on himself. But to be able to get to the

142
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: next side, and and and and you know, keep fighting

143
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: for his dream to be in the NFL and to

144
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: get someone to trust him, you know. And it was

145
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: the somebody at the USFL said, oh, you know, let's

146
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: put this guy out there. And then you know, I'm

147
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: sure the Cowboys did their homework and all that. It's

148
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: just a remarkable story about about a guy that just

149
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, all you do is look at him and go,

150
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: you're not an NFL player, And then to think of

151
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: all the other stuff he's dealt with and to be

152
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: here and you know, and he's still and he's still

153
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: not as satisfied. I talked to him a week ago

154
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: and he goes, yeah. He goes, yeah, but I haven't

155
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: taken one to the crib. That that's all easy is like,

156
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: haven't gotten haven't gone to the crib yet, That's what

157
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: he's saying. You know, he just he hasn't returned one

158
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: before a touchdown yet. You know, what do you do

159
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: you feel like though that? Do they feel he's so

160
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: valuable that they won't use him on offense? Because we

161
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: were talking about pre you know that when we went

162
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: on by We're all the show was like, Hey, well

163
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: when you come back, they're gonna have plans and maybe

164
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: they do. I don't know if they trust him to

165
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: run the right route or what. I don't know. See

166
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: that's what I don't I don't know, trust him to

167
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: hand the ball to him. I just wanted to hand

168
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: the ball to him on third on on that last

169
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: series of the Jacksonville game. Give me a reverse around

170
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: the edge with him. I think that's five yards waiting

171
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: to happen. To be honest with you, at this point

172
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: in the year, and this may be totally unfair, and

173
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: you guys tell me if it is. I actually think

174
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: over the last few games, it feels to me like

175
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the same amount of juice that he

176
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: had early in the season. And I do wonder. I mean,

177
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: this is the guy coming off of a USFL season,

178
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: He's played a lot deep into an NFL season. I

179
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: just wonder if he's running out of gas a little bit.

180
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, like I look at it

181
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: and say, more so, I just don't know if he

182
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: still has that same level of juicy yet earlier in

183
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: the year. That's just my opinion, and it might be unfair,

184
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: like I said, but that's just what I'm I think

185
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. The thing that I that I kind of

186
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: see is like I think he's pressing. I see a

187
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: guy that's like, I haven't brought one back to the crib.

188
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: You know, I got to find a way to change

189
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: fuel position. I gotta find and then sometimes then the

190
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: ball ends up on the eighteen and you're going, Okay,

191
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: I get it, bro, you can run. You can. He's

192
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: one of the best I've ever seen really when it

193
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: comes to the blocking. Is going one way and he

194
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: decides to go the other way. He's going down on

195
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: the freeway where it says wrong way. He is driving traffic,

196
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: is driving his car as fast as he can. Well,

197
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: everybody over here is like he is running over here

198
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: is fast. By the way, don't try this. Yeah, I

199
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: don't know it's about I would challenge that about the

200
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: running out of juice and stuff, just because I could

201
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: see it if it was somebody that was getting in

202
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: a lot of collisions every game and all that you're

203
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: running back or whatever. But he really isn't, you know,

204
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: getting a lot of like hits like that. I mean,

205
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: he's just a punt return kick returner and he only

206
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: gets three or four a game. He's not getting hit

207
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: in practice. Yeah, but let's also remember it's also still

208
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: just wear and tear on your body. And what I

209
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: mean by that, what I mean by that is you're

210
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: still running. He's still running every day. It's like you

211
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: just think about the training that he's been through, all

212
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: the training he's been through and the work that he

213
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: puts in during the week, that's still mileage. It might

214
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: not be hits and collisions, it's still your body is

215
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: going through this constant turnover of work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work,

216
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: and not enough rest. And that's why the off season

217
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: is so important. I think you have to replenish and

218
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: you have to give your body an opportunity to kind

219
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: of hell itself is free agent. He's one of the

220
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: free agents. I'm sure they just got a one year

221
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: deal out of him. Yeah. One year. Yeah, so that

222
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: I wish it would you probably could have got it.

223
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: They've given two year deals the guys you're kind of like,

224
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: wish you hadn't given two before. Well, they have to

225
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: make that one, make that one. Say that because as

226
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: I think for him about dackyard football with him and

227
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: Tolbert running routes out there, I mean learning the offense,

228
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: understanding what's going on, getting you know, getting a role there,

229
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: getting some trust with dak Um, you know, because because

230
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: you gotta remember he didn't he probably got a lot

231
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: of his stuff with Cooper Rush. And yeah, you know

232
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: what's going back to no, I was gonna say real

233
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: quick with the whole mention of utilizing him on offense

234
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, I think, I mean, we have seen

235
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: them try just a little bit, not to my in

236
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: my opinion, not enough, but the times that they have tried,

237
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: it just hasn't really worked out or being like they've

238
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: not guying anything out of that. So I think that

239
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: it hasn't worked to what they're intending to do, and

240
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: then they're just kind of giving up on that rather

241
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: than trying different ways to incorporate him and make it

242
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: appear more of a weapon to defenses. But so, but

243
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: at this point of the year, I don't think they

244
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: should include him offense, just keeping up because I do

245
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: agree with you, Derek. I don't think he's losing all

246
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: the Jews, but I do see a slight change in

247
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: his game when he's out there on special teams. So

248
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying and what you're seeing too,

249
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: because I kind of see that a little bit as well. Yeah,

250
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: I will be interested to see if we get to

251
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs and that becomes one of the wrinkles. And again,

252
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily need to even see him, like you know,

253
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: on a reverse or something. I just want to see,

254
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a bubble screen. I just want to

255
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: see situations where you get him out in space and

256
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: where he can make a guy or two miss and

257
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: then he might be able to turn it into a

258
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: big play. I would like to see them try that

259
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I'm hopeful that maybe that that's

260
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: something that's one of their playoff wrinkles, right. I think

261
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: I think Nick's right though on maybe on first and

262
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: ten you get and you run that jet sweep to

263
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: him in the Jacksonville game, and it's a five yard

264
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: game and now you're second and five. Now you're playing.

265
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: Now you're playing football, and now you're not. Now you're

266
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: not second and thirteen. Yeah, you know, you're you're you. Wow.

267
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: It's like, oh they ran, you know, everybody's look thinking

268
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an inside and then you hand the

269
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: jet sweeping the ball or you fake it inside and

270
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: do the flip, you know, and then everybody's crashing and

271
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: all that. I mean, I don't know, I mean that

272
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: that he I'm surprised they haven't at least tried him

273
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: on something. After the bye. I felt like that that's

274
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: where coaches sit down and say, hey, we've got this guy,

275
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: and we can kind of but might you think he's

276
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: too valuable out there? I do want to mention the

277
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: other the two other surprises I think, you know, not surprises,

278
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: but you know, just kind of unconventional with Pro Bowl

279
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: is Pollard and then with Tank. I think I think

280
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: with d Law, it to me it gives it shows

281
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: me a little bit more of respect that I have

282
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more respect for the process of the

283
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl because they are somebody's watching, somebody's really saying,

284
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: this is a really good football player. He's tied for

285
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: forty fifth in the league in sacks, So that's not

286
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: what it's about. It's about playing football, doing your job

287
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: and being And also, yeah, he did get three sacks

288
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: on a Monday night football game, so maybe that helped.

289
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: But I think it's because he's a really good player.

290
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: That one was to me, O Turpin is my favorite one.

291
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: But I really was happy for for Tank, three years

292
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: removed from the Pro Bowl to get back. And let's

293
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: remember two thirds of the vote are coaches players, and

294
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: so I do think that that that matters because they

295
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: know when they're going up against a guy, who are

296
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: we spending the week thinking about and who are the

297
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: guys that we worry about? Whose guy keeps us up

298
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: the night before the game thinking, man, we don't really

299
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: And I know Mica gets a lot of that credit,

300
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: but I think DeMarcus DeMarcus Lawrence also gets a lot

301
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: of that from other teams where they respect his game. Yeah,

302
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: he's a complete player. And when you start to talk

303
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: about guys that play the run and the past, he's

304

367
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: all right? Real quick, I do want to mention we

368
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: were talking about Kavante Turpin's on track. He did sign

369
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: a three year deal with the Cowboys jumpoint five to

370
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: six million dollars that it was worth over three years.

371
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: So Cowboys did a smart thing, got him locked in.

372
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: Now real quick, I do want to give it. I

373
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: do want to give a little love the big dame

374
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: out there on Twitter. He was one of that kind

375
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: of said, hey, by the way, you guys talking about it,

376
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't three year deal for Turp. You know what

377
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: we were. We were just saying what is he gonna say? No,

378
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean like three year deal. I mean, even though

379
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: that meant nothing. If he if he would have sucked

380
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: really bad in those couple of games, and if he

381
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't when he went to LA, that was like the

382
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: greatest moment of his life there those two three days

383
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: we were in LA because he practiced well, made a

384
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: couple of catches on offense. Then he played in the

385
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: game and he was I mean, he was ridiculous. NFL.

386
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: NFL's Instagram page changed their changed their title of just

387
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: says do not kick to. That was like they changed

388
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: their whole you know whatever the screen is called. I

389
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 1: don't know anyways, move on, all right, let's jump in. Yeah,

390
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: that's funny. All right, let's up the most popular sights

391
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: in the world. Yes, yes it is. Let's talk about

392
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia defense versus absolutely haven't replaced. I'll not say

393
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: that still is an open position that many people out

394
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: there with that skill set. But laying on the couch

395
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: one day and Derek's just say, hey, man, you ever

396
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: thought about this? You know anybody? Hey? Wait? Is never mind?

397
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: Quid Philadelphi Eagles shout empty for a while. Yes, it

398
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: has it has Maybe you want to know about the Seagles.

399
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: You guys know about this one of the nine pass rushers. Yeah, yeah,

400
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: I know. Um, well, let's let's start first with like

401
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: are seeing this team obviously, yeah, but if you're looking

402
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: at this from Dallas's perspective, where do you find weaknesses

403
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: on this defense? Well, you're gonna you're gonna likely get

404
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: a draw with your right tackle against a son Reddick.

405
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: That that that's a good start right there. When you

406
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: saw with Tyrant Smith playing against a Son Reddick, he's

407
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: going to play the left like the primary of the

408
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: left rusher, pass rusher, whatever you want to call that

409
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: over there. This with the way they play their front,

410
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: it's still Fletcher Cox, It's still you know, they've they've

411
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, he's him and Hargrave. It's going to be

412
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: a challenge inside on those guys to have to deal

413
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: with your centers playing well, your left guard's playing well.

414
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: You got a Hall of Famer right guard. You hope

415
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: that you can cancel out some stuff there where you

416
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: might have to pay some attention is on the other

417
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: side with Josh Sweat over there and Brandon Graham and

418
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: guys like that. Because I have a feeling they're going

419
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: to try and overload that side and bring pressure from

420
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: there and make Tyler and make McGovern and those guys

421
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: have to deal with that stuff coming off the other side.

422
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: And Okay, now it's about the backs, you know, it's

423
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: about Zeke and Paula being able to kind of focus. Okay,

424
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: we should be we should be good everywhere we're inside me,

425
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: but let's think about what's going on over here. Because

426
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: Josh sweats a really good rusher, he really really is,

427
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: and you know he's he's long, and he causes problems.

428
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: He can get under you. You know, it's just a

429
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: matter of having to handle him in the pastors if

430
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: we were throwing the football. So they've got two really

431
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: good linebackers with TJ. T J. Edwards and then Kazer White.

432
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are super super active in the

433
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: way they play. They're around the ball a bunch. T J.

434
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: Edwards is a middle linebacker. He's a little bit of

435
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: a dirty player too. He's kind of a grab you,

436
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: twist you kind of a guy. He's always gets in

437
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: your face. But they're they're good at linebacker. The secondary

438
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: I think is their strength for sure, and it's a

439
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: you know with Darius Slay and then James Bradberry or

440
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: the two in the secondary. Epps at safety is good.

441
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: They've had some problems Blank and Ship read Blank and Ship,

442
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: who he starts at safety, has been a little bit

443
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: nicked up. So we'll see how they play. But I

444
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: feel like it overall, the health of their defense is

445
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: really good. They got Jordan Davis. Fact they haven't doamicon sue.

446
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, they have Lynville Joseph as well, So they

447
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: got big, big bodies inside that you're gonna have to

448
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: deal with on this on this team. Yeah, you look

449
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: at that that that defense. They are not giving up

450
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: anything in the passing game. And I thought when they

451
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: lost their nickel corner CJ. Gardner Johnson, that maybe that

452
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: you might see a maddox, you might see a decline.

453
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: You have not. They have continued to be just as good. Um,

454
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: So my question for you is like, how are they

455
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: able to do that? Have they seen Have you seen

456
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: anything that's different in how they how they play defense

457
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: without CJ. Gardener Johnson. Well, to me, it's still about

458
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: those corners. You know, they just they match up with

459
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: you one on one and they don't give you any space. Yea,

460
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: you know they make but can you take advantage of

461
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: them in the slot now without Okay, this is this

462
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: is where this is where. No, it's not because Maddox

463
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: Maddock there because there was a guy that was primarily

464
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: their starter and then he got hurt and then they

465
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: had to put Garner Johnson in there, and then they

466
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: got better with Garter Johnson and now Maddox is back. Okay,

467
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: So no, we had on Michael Lombardi, my old buddy

468
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: for him, I used to work with with the Eagles,

469
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: and you know, he does a lot of things. And

470
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: Michael thinks you can throw the ball on these guys

471
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: if you can block the front. He feels like, though

472
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: he goes if you can protect he says, I feel

473
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: especially set against him when they want to play zone

474
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: coverage stuff. Now, how much zone are they going to

475
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: get in against you? They probably feel like you've got

476
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: one guy that can really hurt hurt you, and that

477
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: would be Ceedee Lamb. So I don't know how much

478
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: zone coverage these guys are gonna want to play in

479
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: this game. But Mike seems to think if you could

480
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: protect the front, had him on yesterday on our show

481
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: one oh five three, he says, you could throw the

482
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: ball on these guys if they play zone, and I

483
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: just I'm like, I'm like, Mike, I don't know how

484
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: much zone if you had, like, if you had guys

485
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: that you like, I say, Lamb is like a guy

486
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: that you're going to have to deal with. But who

487
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: else are you gonna have to deal with? Who the

488
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: others you're going to have to deal with? Is there

489
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: anybody that just completely scares you? Not really right now?

490
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: So I think that's the I think that's the issue

491
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are dealing with right now. I'm not

492
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: trying to not trying to get into a Micah you know,

493
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: Parson's thing. How good are the Eagles and stuff like that,

494
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: because they're really good. But if you look at at

495
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: their schedule since the Cowboys game in the bye week,

496
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: they they have not played a team that's in the

497
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: playoffs except for the Giants, um and they and they

498
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: did a nice job and they went in there and

499
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: beat them pretty good. But the other team, I guess

500
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: Washington is in the playoffs right now. The loss to them,

501
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: um And And so, you know, I mean just the

502
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: Steelers the Texans, Washington, the Colts, the Packers. I mean

503
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: they give thirty three points to Jordan loves As you

504
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: know when when after Rogers went out in that game.

505
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: So these teams Tennessee, the Giants, the Bears, they don't

506
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: throw the ball as well as as I think the

507
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys do. So I think this is gonna be their

508
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: toughest test that they faced since they faced the Cowboys

509
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: the first time. Now that was with Cooper Rush. I'll

510
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: throw this into they faced throughout the season. They faced

511
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: three teams out in a top ten in offense um.

512
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: All three of those teams they played in the first

513
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: four weeks of the season. Detroit, Jacksonville, Minnesota, Jacksonville, Detroitten nothing. Yeah,

514
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: but Jacksonville, Detroit, their offenses have come alive over the

515
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: last second half of the season. They were not what

516
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: they are now. Had thirty five on them. Yeah, but

517
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying but my point. My point was though early

518
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: in the season that I don't think they were playing

519
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: at the level that they're playing right now. They had

520
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: thirty five. Yeah, but you look at those three off one.

521
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: You look at those three offens. But even at with

522
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: those points, they only I think they put up maybe

523
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: under two hundred yards passing. It was, it was. They

524
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: have not given up more than two hundred and thirty

525
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: nine yards passing this season. Like they are. They are

526
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: holding teams to literally nothing through the air. And that's

527
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: where I'm kind of just looking at I'm trying to

528
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: figure out is this is this because of their personnel

529
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: or is it because, as you said, of the the

530
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: opponents that they faced, they really haven't face that's high

531
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: powered offense. That's an amazing stat when you factor in

532
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: that they're thirteen and one and they're blowing out a

533
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: lot of teams, which means sometimes passing yards just get

534
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: backed up. Yeah, it is. It is crazy. Well, they're

535
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: they're in a situation where their offense is that good,

536
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: you know where they they they're there, their defense is good,

537
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: but they benefit because their offense puts a lot of

538
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: pressure on people. I'm me personally, I mean, i I've

539
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: been dealing with this. I mean, I'm trying to figure out, Okay,

540
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: where do you attack? Where do you attack this defense?

541
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 1: And you know, the Cowboys going back and looking at

542
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: the game, they had a little bit of success running

543
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: the football. Yeah, you know, so they've given up some

544
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 1: rushing guy. And that's where I'm kind of thinking, like,

545
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of thinking, well, maybe it's going to turn

546
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: into one of these games. I think you're better on

547
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: the offensive line right now, I really do. And I

548
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: know that Steel has done a really good job as

549
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: a run blocker. But I think you're stronger on the

550
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: right side, you know what. And Hassan Reddick and these guys,

551
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: and the linebackers White and Edwards, Let's see how physical

552
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: you want to get with these with these guys running

553
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: the ball downhill on you. I was hoping for more

554
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: than a draw at right at at the right tackle spot.

555
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: With Tyron Smith, you said a draw between him and Reddick,

556
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: but Pat miss a pass because Reddick can rush the

557
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: past like to win that though with Tyron No. Well,

558
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, if you wanted to cancel out,

559
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: if you wanted to cancel out one of their better players, Okay,

560
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: he's not gonna kill you. He's not gonna kill you.

561
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: Because I have a feeling that Reddick pass rushing against

562
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: Steele would be a would be a hard matchup for Steel. Yeah,

563
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: he would play. He'd probably be two or three that

564
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: he would really struggle with But I don't think that

565
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that Tyren Smith is going to struggle

566
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: with Reddick in this game. This is the game where

567
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: I think is the biggest difference between Cooper Rush and

568
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: Dak because they're they're going to bring pressure. And I

569
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: think when when Cooper Rush felt pressure or feels pressure,

570
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: it's he's not always making a play. He made some

571
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: he made somewhere. He's a guy's right in his face,

572
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: but you know, he's not gonna scramble out and and

573
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, dip around and spin and make a play

574
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: over here. And that's where I think Dack's, you know,

575
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: ability to to scramble and get out of things and

576
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: extend the pocket is going to help more than the

577
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: kind of a kind of sitting duck. But he you know,

578
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: he stands in there and kind of makes the throw.

579
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: He's not going to improvise like Daktas. I was trying

580
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: to look up because yesterday on our show Are So

581
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: Almost Aways podcast, some of the guys on there were

582
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: mentioning and now, how had not seen this on social media?

583
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: But how the Eagles some of their players were recording

584
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: Christmas song or something like that. Yeah, they record a

585
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: Christmas album. But when was that. It's been about three

586
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Yeah, that's what I was looking at. I'm like, okay,

587
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: well because something Jason Kelsey and those guys. Yeah, yeah,

588
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: but it's not even this week, but they were making

589
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: it sound like it was recently. No, No, it's been

590
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: about three weeks. They were surprised how well Thanksgiving. Yeah

591
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: it was Jordan my allot. They were surprised how well

592
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: he sings. That's one of the things that came out

593
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: of that whole thing. Can you sing, Brian, No, not

594
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: at all. Just wonder your daughter can's twice? She's going

595
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: to Colombia. Okay, that's why he's going to Columbia. No,

596
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: that's not why he's going to Columbus. Yeah, he's gonna

597
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: be using her brain up there. I did want to

598
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: ask you, though, um, because we talked about the difference

599
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: between Okay, now they're not playing with their with jalien

600
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: Hurst and right, we didn't play them with dak Right.

601
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: If you're the Eagles, are you preparing any differently than

602
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: what you already did when you played them when they

603
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: played up Yeah? I think so, Yeah, I think so,

604
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: because what changes there Nick's talking about the mobile quarterback.

605
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, you have to be you have to know that. Listen.

606
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: You know, with Cooper Rush, he's gonna stand there, but

607
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: the ball is gonna come out quick. So that's one

608
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,959
Speaker 1: thing that you're dealing with right there. With with Dak,

609
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, rush lanes keeping him, you know there,

610
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: don't let him spin. I mean the one touchdown that

611
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: they had, the Noah Brown touchdown, the second one where

612
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: he spun out of there, that's not a Cooper Rush play.

613
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: That's a that's a Dak Prescott. So if you're these ends,

614
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: if you're Sweat or Hassan Reddick and those guys, and

615
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: you're like run up the field, run up the field,

616
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: or you cut inside and you let him spin, that's

617
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: something you're like, hey, you have to be careful. You

618
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: can't just go flying inside and try and get to

619
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: the ball because this quarterback will spin on your right

620
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: or left in order to go make a throw. So

621
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: that in their mind they have to prep differently for them,

622
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: and maybe you play your front a little differently to

623
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: try and kind of keep it a little bit wider,

624
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: and then so you don't have the ability for the

625
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: quarterback to move. I did also want to ask you

626
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: guys your opinion on this. So we've been talking about

627
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: Dac and the interceptions for a while now, and it's

628
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: just constant. And I think that this week especially, it's

629
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: been all over the place dyc interceptions, this and that,

630
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: and we keep hearing Dyk and Mike McCarthy they they're

631
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: just gonna keep playing the way the way that they are.

632
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna stay aggressive. He's gonna go out there and

633
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: be aggressive, and that's not gonna change. But it makes

634
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: me wonder because it is. And I know they say

635
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: they don't listen to the outside noise, but it's hard

636
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: to get away from that. It's hard to they're lying

637
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: to you and they know they know. But so my

638
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: question is, do you think that he does get to

639
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: a point where maybe mentally for Dak himself, this is

640
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: maybe it gets to a point where it starts messing

641
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: with his head. And although he's saying he's gonna be aggressive,

642
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: now he's becoming a little more hesitant or trying to

643
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: be smarter with his decision making when throwing some of

644
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: those passes. I'm saying, I don't even think a little

645
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't even think a little bit, because as he said, yes,

646
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday when the media was talking

647
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: to him. He's got to be conceited. But I'm pretty

648
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: mentally tough, and I think he is. I think of

649
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: those guys is very mentally. Everything we've seen since the

650
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: moment he got here, he doesn't seem to be phased

651
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: by the moment, and so I don't I don't expect

652
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: it to change him in one just in one bit.

653
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: And by the way, there's a lot of talk out

654
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: there about that. There's all so and you guys see it.

655
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: We're all on Twitter. We see the world and see

656
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: all the people that are talking about this. For as

657
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: many people as you have that are killing him about

658
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: the interceptions, you have just as many people that are saying,

659
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: slow down just a little bit. A lot of these

660
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: interceptions aren't his fault. So don't make the narrative that

661
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys lost that game because of Dak Prescott, because

662
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: that wasn't the case. Dak Prescott played a really good game,

663
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: and so I think I think he probably if he

664
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: hears any of it, he probably hears the positive. Two.

665
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: I think he thinks he dismisses it all as Look,

666
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm just playing my game. I'm gonna keep doing what

667
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: I do, and however turns out is how it turns out.

668
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he will phase him one bit.

669
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: That's my opinion. I don't either. I mean, but I

670
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: I wonder about it though, a little bit. I do

671
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: wonder if if you know what he's thinking here, as

672
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, he throws the ball over the middle, and

673
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, is he a little bit gunshy here and there?

674
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: And and the question is valid because it's like maybe

675
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: you should be like when when when do you when

676
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: does it creep into your head? And because he should

677
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: be you know, that's that's always this double edged sword,

678
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 1: because it's like, well, on one hand, not you know,

679
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: like it's kind of like all these slow starts. It's

680
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: like we're not worried about slow starts because we know

681
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: we can come back. But if you keep just thinking

682
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: it'll be fine, it'll be fine, maybe it isn't. So

683
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. Let's go to that last game,

684
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: the two interceptions. What should he have done something different

685
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: in either of those two situations, Well, he shouldn't have

686
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: thrown the first one, or you shouldn't have just kind

687
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: of lofted it up there over the middle. But that's

688
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he I think the ball fluttered because

689
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: his arm got hit. And that's where I know there's

690
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: there's kind of this did his arm get hit? To me,

691
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: it looks very clear this arm he got he got

692
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: hit from behind. Yeah, that's it pushed him forward to

693
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: make it. And that's why I think the ball kind

694
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: of floated, like because if you watch the ball, the

695
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: ball isn't a spiral. It's kind of like this fluttering

696
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I don't think an NFL quarterback just

697
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: makes that throw without being affected. Right, Well, it's it's

698
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: it's the situation. I think of that like throw it

699
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: away if you feel like things are not good. I

700
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: can't remember the last time Dak just threw a ball away. Yeah, yeah,

701
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: you know remember so in that instance, you would have

702
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: wanted him because of the pressure around it's second and eighteen,

703
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: you know, take a sack again, just you know, go

704
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: ahead and or I remember we had this problem with

705
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. Remember it was like he's always trying to

706
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: and it was and then finally like the fans would

707
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: cheer when you throw a ball away, or it might

708
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: have been Rome, but somebody was having trouble where they weren't,

709
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: they wouldn't throw the ball away. And I can't remember

710
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: the last time that Dak just said, ah, heck with

711
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: this boom. You know, he's playing a lot like Tony

712
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: Romo right now. It really is. Yeah, yeah, that's been out.

713
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 1: That's the divinish. But yeah, it's not just that. It's

714
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: being a little bit aggressive and thinking I can make

715
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: that play. Yeah, yes you can, and you've done it

716
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: before some maybe in high school, college sometime and here

717
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: in the pros. But they make plays as well, and

718
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: you have to kind of live with it. You're gonna

719
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: you live with because Romo could make some great plays

720
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: and then you can make some that make you just

721
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: pull your hair out. And Dad's sort of doing that

722
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of stuff the best. An example for me of

723
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: the game the other day was when I talk about

724
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: the ball that went up the sidelines to Pollard, you know,

725
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: and it's now a crazy fifty fifty ball and if

726
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: you just fire it to Noah Brown and hopefully he

727
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: catch it. He probably will, he could catch it, it's

728
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: gonna be a first down, and you keep playing you know,

729
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: instead it's now it's a fourth down and you have

730
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: to kick a field goal. And honestly, those are the

731
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: kind of plays I look at where I'm like more

732
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: critical of Dak than either of those two interceptions, because

733
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 1: that part of it's fair. Yeah. Even in the instance

734
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: of the first interception with his arm got hit, there

735
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: was an open receiver and he was open, and he

736
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: pulled it and pulled it back. Yeah, and he did

737
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: and and and even when he threw it, he was

738
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: still open, like the tight end was still open. He

739
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: could have clearly lited that pass. It's just that. And

740
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: I want my quarterback to not be so distressed by

741
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: the fact that there's traffic around him. Yeah, that he

742
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: just thinks, well, let me just get rid of Like

743
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: I want him to make the play. Yeah, but if

744
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: you're not sure, eat it or throw it away. Okay,

745
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing. When you double clutch it, you're like,

746
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'm gonna try it now, you know,

747
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: and you're like you're getting hit. You know. That's the

748
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: that's the problem we only talk about, seemingly only talk

749
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: about the plays that that don't go his way. Yeah,

750
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: there's times where he's doing risky things and get exactly

751
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: like the touchdown pass to Noah Brown, the first one

752
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: he rolls through. The hardest throw was the three yeah

753
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: front middle back, and like it's like, oh, let's just

754
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: sell in the traffic back here. It's almost like, you know, like, Okay,

755
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: who doesn't have a Christmas present? Like haven't give one

756
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: to Brown lately? You know, like everybody cheers and everybody's like,

757
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: that's awesome. And that was the hardest throw he could

758
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 1: have made right there. I don't want to take aggressiveness

759
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: out of him because I think that's part of what

760
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: makes him a good quarterback. And by the way, every

761
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: good quarterback in the NFL. It's the difference between a

762
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush and a Dak Prescott is Cooper Rush is

763
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: just going to manage. This is why I get into

764
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: the management of the game. He's going to manage the game.

765
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: He's not gonna take those risks, which means he's not

766
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: gonna have the interceptions. But at the same time, he

767
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: might not have those wild plays either. He might not

768
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: extend that drive or have that touchdown throw because he's

769
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: not willing to make that throw that might be a

770
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: little risky. I want to keep that. And if that

771
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: means that he gets hit from behind and the ball

772
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: flutters and it's an interception, I'll live with that. Only

773
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: do it in certain situations. He should be aware of

774
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: where we are in the game and what they need

775
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: at that moment in the game. But I don't want

776
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: to take us aggressive this. I really don't. Yeah, there's

777
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: a balance there, it's a balance. He's got to eat.

778
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: That's what the quarterback did. Please don't turn the ball

779
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: over anymore. That's all I ask. That's all I want

839
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: turns into the player that they were drafted for. Because

840
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 1: they have a fourth round, they have some second rounds.

841
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 1: They have some guys that were and that includes Kelvin

842
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: Joseph as well, that includes Nishan. Right, these guys that

843
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: are in the mix here have all at some point

844
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: been considered good players. I need one of them, one

845
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: of them to act like the odds sound like it

846
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: should work right, You just need one. There's a great

847
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,640

848
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: seen Oh my Lord. But anyways, when when the guy

849
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: comes in, I've seen he's trying to give he's trying

850
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: to like they're trying to get rudy and to play

851
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: in the game. And he's like, he's like, here you go,

852
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: and he's like, you're a captain and an All American.

853
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 1: Act like it. That's what I want. One of those corners.

854
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: Act like it. Act like the second, third, fourth round

855
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: pick that you were picked for. I just need one

856
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: of you. Take a play, just one, make a few plays, please,

857
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: just one. That's my Christmas wish. I'm gonna change mine.

858
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: I just want the pass rush to come back. Yes,

859
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: I just want it. I just want to see quarterbacks

860
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: struggling in negative yardage situations. I want to see sacks.

861
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: I want to see balls knocked in the air. I

862
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: want to see all that. I want to see guys

863
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: twisting and getting home and causing problems. If just I

864
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: think the offense is going to be fine, just give

865
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: me my pass rush back. Please. I have one more

866
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: wish after you. You only get one, I haven't you

867
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: guys will have that greedy kid, right, he's that greeny

868
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: kid that would open his present and be like I

869
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: really wanted this, right, I have another one too, Go ahead,

870
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: Amber Well, I was gonna say, yeah, there's a corner

871
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: and along with the pass rush, I was gonna wish.

872
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: I would wish Micah Parsons to be Micah Parsons again,

873
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: full on one, aggressive Micah Parsons because usually when he's

874
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 1: having a good game, you got that in the bag.

875
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: The Cowboys win for the most part. So I think,

876
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: if I get my wish, y'all get jaws wish. Honestly,

877
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: the pass rush in Micah Parsons, I think, if I

878
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: get my wish that the cornerback play. These corners are

879
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: playing well, this third corner steps up and plays well.

880
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: I kind of pass rush and Micah goes together. But

881
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: I think I need I need to get mine. The

882
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is because that's for my painting. Well,

883
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: when those corners were there. You can say what you

884
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: want about Anthony Brown. When Anthony Brown was out there,

885
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,479
Speaker 1: everything was clicking. Oh is it? Because when I said

886
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: that several weeks ago, you made a face like, what

887
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: are you talking about Anthony? We got recorded probably what

888
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: I say, what I say? I said, Oh, maybe I

889
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: forgot what I said, but something about missing Anthony Brown

890
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: and like he's he's not as terrible. Yes, he gives

891
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: up some plays, but he's not as terrible as people say.

892
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: And you may not give you a face on Anthony Brown, no,

893
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: because because I actually believe I've been I've been statement,

894
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: I've been dodging all Anthony Brown because I kind of

895
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: said he was going to be that kind of a

896
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,959
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl guy. But that's the thing. The criticism Anthony

897
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: Brown is fair criticism, yeah so, but then again, but

898
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: he's not as bad as people say he is when

899
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: you compare it to what you got, right. Honestly, this

900
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: is a Doug Free type situation, right, because I remember

901
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: people used to be so livid with Doug Free and

902
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, Dug Free, Yeah he's not. He's not a

903
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl type guy, but he's not as bad as

904
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: y'all think. Like, there are a lot of horse tackles

905
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: you could have out there on the right side, and

906
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: I think it's the same thing for Anthony Brown. Anthony

907
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: Brown isn't great. But Anthony Brown, as we're saying there,

908
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: he might give up a player too deep every game,

909
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: But if that's all he's given up, I'll take that.

910
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: If the rest of the time he's he's at least

911
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: covering things to where my pass rush can get home,

912
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: which right now, I think that's part of the problem. Yeah,

913
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown is Larry Brown back in the day, that

914
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: was Larry Brown to a t. I mean, he had

915
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: this star on the other side. He gave up some plays.

916
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: Every now and again he makes something as well. Yeah

917
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: he didn't, he didn't kill you that much. But the

918
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: problem is is that he would make some you know,

919
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: he would be contest. He competes, and I don't just

920
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: don't think they have anyone else that can do that

921
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: right now, Well Bland is doing it. You're right, and

922
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: they need And that's why I say I'd like to

923
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: see him. I appreciate the outside I appreciate the acknowledgement

924
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: on Twitter about that. Derek, what's your Christmas wish? My

925
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: Christmas wish? I think it's it's actually what I thought about,

926
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: the same thing you were talking about. But if I

927
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: had to do something different, I would probably say that

928
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: my head coach would be a little more demanding. Yeah,

929
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: in certain situations, certain situations, I want him to think

930
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: about the game a little bit deeper and make sure

931
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: this coordinators are on top of that. In the same

932
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: way I look at that situation that you had on

933
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: third and ten. I want my head coach to say,

934
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with the past. I need a

935
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 1: better option. Ye give me, give me a better option

936
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: for a pass there than than a deep ball. To

937
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: know it, like I want my head coach to I

938
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: want him to force them, to force them to think

939
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: a little different about certain situations rather than maybe whatever

940
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: they're thinking about in those kind of situations. Amazing how

941
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: far we've come here now that we've talked about this

942
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: defense was so good and all that. Now we're kind

943
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: of talking about wishing for things for the defense. And

944
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, but it's to me. I agree with you, Derek.

945
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: I think with Mike McCarthy, you know. I just like

946
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: him to click over and tell kell and listen. He goes,

947
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, what, what do you guys going on downs?

948
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about going all go here? He goes, No,

949
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: you're not. We're going to think about something different therey.

950
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: Come give me another one, Give me another one. What

951
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: else you got? Where's that waggle? You got? Need? I need?

952
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 1: I need to keep this clock going here. And we're assuming,

953
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: just in fairness to Kellen, we're assuming that the head

954
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: coach wasn't the one to say let's go for it. Yeah,

955
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 1: he might have been the one to say let's go deep.

956
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is I want somebody to inject a

957
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,959
Speaker 1: little more fought into that and say let's do something

958
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: a little different here. Yeah, it sounds like he did.

959
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 1: He was fine with that. Yeah, no, moss Um. I

960
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: think they called it. And let's be clear too, I

961
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: know there's a there's a somebody put this out this

962
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: morning that they think Mike McCarthy's in trouble. I think

963
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: that's foolish. I think the fact that they are where

964
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: they are right now with almost half the season with

965
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback, I think that is absolutely foolish. Mike

966
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: McCarthy has had a great season. I know that that

967
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: that call, and you can pick out other moments, but

968
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: guess what, Every coach in the NFL has those moments,

969
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: every single one where you will disagree with what they

970
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: have done or decisions that they made. It's a part

971
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: of it. It's a part of the job. I think

972
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: he's had a phenomenal year. I take if you lose

973
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: to the NFC South in a playoff game, the coordinator

974
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 1: might be the guy that we see maybe something depending

975
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: on how it plays. Yeah, you lose a game to

976
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: the NFC South in the playoff game, I think then

977
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: maybe you'll think something different there, maybe not the head coach,

978
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: but the coordinator. Maybe all let's get the predictions. What

979
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: we got ran? You wanna go first, Yeah, I'll go first.

980
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: I got Philadelphia thirty one, Dallas twenty four. I just

981
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 1: feel like Gardner Mitchew is not a bad backup quarterback.

982
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: He's very accurate. Go look at the numbers and stuff.

983
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 1: They'll still run the offense to quick game, the passing game.

984
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: They still got all their guys, they got their tight ends,

985
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: they got their receivers, they got their offensive line. It's

986
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for you. Their defense is completely healthy too.

987
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: You know, I think that you have some advantages with

988
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,919
Speaker 1: the offensive line as far as your offensive line maybe

989
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: getting some things done. I just see too many, too

990
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: many playmakers on a team right now that the Cowboys

991
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,720
Speaker 1: having to deal with that. Thirty one twenty four Eagles.

992
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,479
Speaker 1: I've got a well, I've got Eagles twenty eight, twenty six.

993
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: Kind of weird, long, high scoring game, kind of but

994
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: kind of a weird game. And I agree, I think,

995
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, if Houston's quarterbacks can give you trouble. I

996
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: think this guy can give your trouble as well. I

997
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: think that they are a very complete team. They got

998
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on and not just him.

999
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: And I also believe that the Cowboys defense played their

1000
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: best football when Cooper Rush was in the game. I

1001
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: think they rallied around him, and I think the Eagles

1002
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: are good enough to kind of do the same, and

1003
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: so I just I think that you're going to get

1004
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles best outside of the quarterback position. And that's

1005
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: scary when you think about what the Cowboys having. This

1006
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: is a hat and T shirt game for them. Yeah. Well,

1007
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: I believe in miracles, and it is the Christmas time

1008
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: of the year, and although my head is telling me

1009
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: one thing, my heart is telling me another. And I

1010
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: think that sometimes the Cowboys can make some magic happen.

1011
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where that no one expects. I think

1012
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: this could be one of those games where they do

1013
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: go out there and win against the Eagles. Now, this

1014
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that all their problems would be fixed because

1015
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: of a win against the Eagles. I think they would

1016
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: still have those problems. But I can see some magic

1017
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: happening and Cowboys win twenty seven or we're scoring twenty

1018
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: seven twenty three. Sorry like that. I actually think this

1019
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: game or I'll start with this right now. To me,

1020
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: the strength of this team is their offensive line, and

1021
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: I personally think this offensive line strength is running the ball.

1022
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: I think Dallas is going to come into this game

1023
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: and Dallas is gonna say we're going to run the ball,

1024
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,760
Speaker 1: because I think it helps them in every other facet

1025
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: of their game. They are good runners, they have good runners.

1026
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,479
Speaker 1: They have a good offensive line that can run the ball.

1027
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: It keeps the ball away from the Philadelphia offense where

1028
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: you might be afraid of what you got. It's in

1029
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: the secondary. I think everything about it makes a ton

1030
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 1: of sense. I think it is a game. When Dallas

1031
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: runs the ball, they control the clock and that's how

1032
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: they end up winning this game. Think it'll be a

1033
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: lower scoring game than what we would expect from these

1034
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: two teams that have offenses that you think of as

1035
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: as high powered offenses. I think Dallas win seventeen sixteen

1036
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: in a game that will seem methodical. Slow may pick

1037
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: up at the end, but I think they win that

1038
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: game seventeen sixteen. All right, appreciate you guys joining us.

1039
