Speaker 1: But we're gonna tell you what you should be looking for,

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: what you'd expect to see this Sunday throughout the course

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: of the show. Today, let's start first name Nick with

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: a ninety eight give me a quick Greg Ellis, love it.

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: He was my guy. I mean I liked him. Unfair

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: that he got, you know, compared to a wide receiver,

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: but that's what happened. They should have picked Randy Moss,

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: but they picked him instead. He did everything right, it

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: just wasn't a Hall of Fame wide receiver. You know.

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: It's interesting too about Greg Ellis. I actually think he's

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: one of the few players in the NFL, certainly on

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys that I can remember, who was I think

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: a much better player. The more he played, the longer

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: he played, like, I think he was a much better

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: player later in his career than earlier in his career.

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: You know, if the first round picks a lot of

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: times you'll see him early on. They jump out and

34
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: they show you things like a Michael Parsons like CD,

35
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: and they start doing things. You're like, man, I see

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: why they were drafting the first round like he got

37
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: a little bit like at the beginning, there wasn't a

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: lot of that kind of talk. But the more he played,

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: and certainly once they stood him as an outside three

40
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: four defensive end, I mean, I'm sorry, an outside linebacker.

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: He really I thought took off and was a really

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: good players the last couple of years in the league.

43
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Is that your ninety eight um? Shout out Tyrone. I

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: always liked working with him. Yeah, nice guy. Yeah, still

45
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: here and here? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's at that's my

46
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: guy too. Yeah. I'll say that one because I've seen

47
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: the video, so I don't want to piss him off. Yeah,

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: which video? You know? The video? You know for one

49
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: with the arrow. Now, I thought the reason I say

50
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: which video, I'm also talking about the documentary. He did

51
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: what he talked about the some sometimes he had to

52
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: knuckle up earlier and as a younger man. Yeah, yeah,

53
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: he's not afraid and a lot of knuckles going on,

54
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: and I think he ain't scared, not scared, he's scared.

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: He was. He's good. He's a good player too. All right, Uh,

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: let's let's get into some some talk on the injuries.

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: There was one guy who did not pry yesterday, Kean

58
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: O'Neil chest and elbow injuries. What are we hearing about him? Yeah?

59
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: I thought he was okay because he practiced on Wednesday

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: and then he didn't do as much yesterday. He heard

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: his arm in that Eagles game and Mike McCarthy said

62
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: today that's probably going to go down to the wire.

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: It's not typically what you want to hear on a

64
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: Friday um, especially not at that position. So yeah, they

65
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: just for this game. Tag. Yeah, they don't. They don't

66
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: have any depth there, Yeah, none. It sucks that b

67
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: real Cox isn't available here. I saw I saw like

68
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: at practice the other day, like while they were doing

69
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: special teams and like George Edwards was working with the

70
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: linebacker like it was just like working with a linebackers,

71
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: working with Layton everybody else and I think Mike was rushing,

72
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, doing stuff with the defensive ents, and the

73
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: other guys that are on the team are doing special

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: team stuff. There's just not Yeah, I mean, the depth

75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: is just not there. If you don't have Keanu, and

76
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm not ruling him out, but if you just say

77
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: you don't, then you've got Layton And if he wasn't

78
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: already gonna play a lot of linebacker, Michael would have

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: to in that circumstance. And then Luke Gifford has had

80
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: a nice year and Francis Bernard is back. Yeah, but

81
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: those are those are your special team linebackers. That's yeah,

82
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: not a lot on the way to depth. I was

83
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: actually gonna ask you guys this earlier in the week,

84
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: and I don't know that it's it's likely, but do

85
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: you think this is the kind of week where you

86
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: could have if let's assume Keanu was healthy, you could

87
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: see three linebackers on the field more frequently. A team

88
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: like this that loves to run the ball, power, running attack.

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: You know, you would think this would be a week

90
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: where maybe they could morph into something like that. If

91
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it, this would be a matchup where

92
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: it makes sense. I mean, the Niners love to play

93
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: twenty one personnel, two backs. I mean, Juice checks on

94
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: the field a lot. Yeah, Kidtill obviously doesn't come off

95
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: the field very much. Yeah, this is this is a

96
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: big personnel type of game, So this would be a

97
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: big hit if obviously he can't play, I would So

98
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't like the idea of it, and like it's

99
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: weird because I think this week we've talked about how

100
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: maybe Keanu and Layton haven't been a ma this season.

101
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: They've been fine, but not amazing. But even but yeah,

102
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: I mean against the team that runs the ball, you

103
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: just want all hands on deck when it comes to tackling.

104
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: All right, here's we're gonna do. We got some questions

105
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: that are questions that I think will be important to

106
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: how this game turns out. I'm going to run through

107
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: these questions and give you guys an opportunity to answer them.

108
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: The first question, how much do you expect Dallas's offense

109
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: to be different than what we saw over the second

110
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: half of the year. And the reason why I asked

111
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: that is because early in the year, if you guys

112
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: remember a lot of in the first few games, we

113
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: saw things in those games we were like, oh wow,

114
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: that was creative, particularly offensively in what Kellen Moore was doing.

115
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: I think that kind of settled down, And I wonder

116
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: to myself, is that because what we saw the things early,

117
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: so when you see them come back later, they aren't

118
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: new anymore. So of course it's gonna feel like there

119
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: aren't as many new and creative things. But do you

120
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: think that this game coming into this into the playoffs,

121
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: do you expect to see a little more creativity some

122
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: things that maybe you haven't seen to this point. To

123
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I'm not completely sure I agree

124
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: with your premise to begin with. I think that stuff's

125
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: been there. You pick and choose your spots. But like

126
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: a great example, it gets brushed under the rug because

127
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: it didn't work. But remember them the hook and ladder

128
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: they ran against Washington first series and Mari drops the lateral,

129
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: they punt. They go on to score like seven straight

130
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns after that, So it kind of gets swept under

131
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 1: the rug. Flee flicker, fleeflicker didn't really work. The past?

132
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: What the past to Cedric from or Cedric to Tony Yah?

133
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: What game was that Arizona. Yeah, those players have been there.

134
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: I just think maybe they haven't taken center stage because

135
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: the offense hasn't been clicking the way that we got

136
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: used to in the first half of the season. I

137
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: can think. I'm like, uh, I'm still trying to figure

138
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: out how they do go into this game with because

139
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned all those creative plays utilizing so many different

140
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: weapons that they have. Talk about my govern the way

141
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: that they were utilizing him at certain times when he

142
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: wasn't playing guard, and even like Cedric Wilson when Dad

143
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: gives him the ball and that he's the one throwing

144
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: the past that has worked pretty well, and like when

145
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: they throw in little place like that it does confuse

146
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: because you're not necessarily expecting things like that as the opponent,

147
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: but you know you've seen it on film that they

148
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: can do. So my thing is, like Dave said, it

149
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: comes down to them struggling to connect and actually, what's

150
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for, be efficient like on the

151
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: field and actually produce the place that they need to produce,

152
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: because when you're not doing that in the first place,

153
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: how are you gonna be able to do creative place

154
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: like that. So hopefully the win last week gives them

155
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: the confidence that they need and they need to start

156
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: off the bat because I think if they do, and

157
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: we've seen it at games where in the second half

158
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: of the game, fourth quarter Dad is able to come

159
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: back and they're playing very high speed game and scoring

160
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: points and all that. But I do think that the

161
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys can definitely lose this game if they start trailing

162
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: behind from the get go, from the first quarter. They

163
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: need to go in there and I'll fall back and

164
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: not get close to the end zone because that's what

165
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: I've seen that really hurts them at the end. I

166
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: agree with Dave in the sense that they have done

167
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: some of that stuff, um even past the Terrence Steel,

168
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: you know in the Washington game or whatever game that was. Yep.

169
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: Um So, I mean it's like one a game, it

170
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: seems like other than you expect to see more of that. Um.

171
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: I think it's just comes down to whatever it takes.

172
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the mentality. You know, if they

173
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: feel like they've got it, they've got in their back

174
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: if they need it, you know. I mean, but at

175
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: this point, you're not saving anything. I mean, you know,

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: it's a real trendy picked And again a part of

177
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: this was also Jerry's comments. Jerry said on on his

178
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: hit on Sean and RJ a few weeks ago, he said,

179
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, there are some things that we've had that

180
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: we've saved, things that we have worked on in training

181
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: camp and we haven't used yet this year that we're

182
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: saving for the playoffs. So yes, they may still be

183
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: doing some of that. But my thought would be, why

184
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: do you say that makes no sense? Because when was

185
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: that though? This was I don't know, maybe three four

186
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: weeks ago. You guys, I assume y'all hurt. I mean

187
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: everybody has or four weeks ago, Jerry said, everybody's got

188
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: plays that they that they have that they say, you know,

189
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: trick plays that just don't feel like they work. They

190
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: don't they're waiting for the look. They don't get the look.

191
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't think Fossil's got twenty two plays

192
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: that he wants to run? Definitely has they all got them.

193
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: And I just think, for for whatever, and some of

194
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: it's valid, But for whatever criticism, I think Kellen has

195
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: done a fantastic job of just baking that into their DNA.

196
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: It's just what they do. He says that all I've

197
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: asked him so many questions about where he gets his

198
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: plays from and when it when he feels like it's

199
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: the right time, and and he's been very steadfast. He's

200
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: just like, this is what we do. Like we have

201
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: this many, we work on this many. It doesn't take

202
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: a whole lot for us to feel comfortable calling that

203
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: in a game. They tried to throw a past to

204
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern in New York, Like, like, go through every

205
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: game and I guarantee you you'll see something that you're

206
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: not thinking about where you're like, oh, yeah, like they

207
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: did do that. It's just part of who they are.

208
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't just become we almost you

209
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: got to really do something crazy for us really remember,

210
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: it just feels like it's normal. Yeah, and I guarantee

211
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: you yeah, they'll they'll call some goofy stuff, like in

212
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: a good way, like they'll there will be something. But

213
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: when you ask me this question, do you think it's

214
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: going to be different? It makes me think of like

215
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: last year in Philly when it was obvious that they

216
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: were pulling out all the stops because they knew they

217
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: weren't going to move the ball otherwise. I don't think

218
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. I think they'll probably call two

219
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: to four depending on the looks they get, and that's

220
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: just that's what they do. They always they always have.

221
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: In the past month, I feel like they have somewhat

222
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: become a little more conservative in the way that they play.

223
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: But maybe that's because of the way that the offense

224
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: was playing in general. But I think that maybe that's

225
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: where you're getting your question from. It's like, Okay, we

226
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: saw at the beginning of the year being so creative.

227
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: Then eventually towards December, I feel like they became a

228
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: little bit more conservative just because the plays weren't there,

229
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: like they weren't actually being the way that they needed

230
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: to be on the field. And now, okay, going into

231
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs, what kind of cowboys do we see the

232
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: first half of the season or the second half of

233
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: the season. But covative, Yeah, I do think Dave made

234
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: a good point, like you forget about or I'll speak

235
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: for myself, I forgot about the hook and ladder play

236
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: because it didn't work. If it would have worked, I

237
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: probably would have remembered it. Like you know, early in

238
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: the season, those plays were working, like they were actually

239
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: getting success out of some of those plays. When it

240
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: doesn't work, then you kind of forget that they even

241
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: tried them, and it's not the same kind of impact.

242
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: And that's fair, I think, but they have You're right,

243
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: they have been trying these plays. It just makes me

244
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: wonder listening to what Jerry said, if there's more in

245
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: the bag, if there are things in the bag that

246
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: they're looking at, like, hey, these are and they may

247
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: not even be plays. It may be schemes, it may

248
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: be things that they're gonna try that they haven't really

249
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: tried to this point because they're they're saving some of

250
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: that stuff to not necessarily put it on tape and

251
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: save it for the playoffs. We'll see. All right, let's

252
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: take our first break. We come back. We have more

253
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: questions we're gonna throw out to you guys. Well when

00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: Here's the next question. Outside of dak which Dallas skill

307
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: position player most needs to have a big day for

308
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Dallas to be successful? Oh boy, whichever running back you prefer,

309
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: because I don't care. I just need them to be

310
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: able to run. They they need to be able to

311
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: run the ball. And I'm not not like forty nine

312
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: ers style. They don't need to run the ball like

313
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: forty five times, but that just it has to be

314
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: an element of their offense. Again, they've been bad when

315
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: they haven't been balanced. Is there a number or something

316
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: that's for you will signal they were successful running the ball? Yeah,

317
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: if they're averaging four and a half yards per carrier better,

318
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: and if they get north of one hundred as a team,

319
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: preferably like closer to one fifty, but at least north

320
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: of one hundred yards as a team, four and a

321
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: half yards per carry would be four and a half?

322
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: Would bee gangbusters? That would be awesome? Yeah, all right,

323
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't care who does it. What was your skill position?

324
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: Skill position? Okay, not that I mean I was gonna

325
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: go with the running back position too, but I guess

326
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: another one would be tight end. I think I've seen

327
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: Dad play one of his best games when he's able

328
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: to kind of rely on the tight end position, So

329
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: I think that that would be a big key for

330
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense to be able to have that position

331
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: working not just in the blocking game, but also being

332
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: able to catch the ball and being that security blanket

333
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: for Dak. Yeah. And I mean, you know, if you

334
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: want to throw another one in there too, I mean

335
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: when when Amari Cooper is rolling, you know, this offense

336
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: is different, and I think it'll affect everybody else. And

337
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: so he's their best receiver, their best route runner, I think,

338
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: And so I think you know you can put him in.

339
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: I still feel like it's Zeke. You know, Zeke is

340
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. It's gonna be hard to

341
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: beat them because that means everybody's going to be playing

342
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: at a high level. All right, Um, next two questions

343
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: are going to be some of the questions with different names.

344
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: Bigger threat Armstead or Bosa. Oh good question, yeah Armstead. Yeah,

345
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: because at this stage in their respective careers, Bosa is

346
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: better than Tyron Smith probably, But I still trust Tyrn

347
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: Smith to hold his own and keep that from being

348
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: a problem. I mean, he's Tyron Smith. He's not going

349
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: to get abused, at least I would hope not. Whereas

350
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: the interior has been a consistent problem spot for them,

351
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: and that's where Armstead plays Arrow I'll throw arden Key

352
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: in there as well. I think both of those guys

353
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: scare me. I think Bosa can wrect the game a

354
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: little bit more, and I think some of his rush

355
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: from the outside leads to the interior, you know, push there.

356
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: I think he's the guy that could probably wreck the

357
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: game the most. But I mean, does he move around

358
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: a lot? I don't know. He primarily stays where he is,

359
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 1: but the forty nine ers still they I mean they

360
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: they move guys inside and outside. Um, But like he's

361
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: efficient on both sides. He primarily plays right end right.

362
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean he doesn't bounce back and forth, yeah, right

363
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: into play he can, though, I mean he think he can.

364
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: I just would I haven't seen all their games. The

365
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: games I've seen, he tends to be on that side

366
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: more often than Yeah, if Tyron is shutting him down,

367
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure that the facing Tyron. Did you guys see

368
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: his interview from yesterday, Yeah, yeah, he was pretty he

369
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: was pretty honest about the fact that he's like, I've

370
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: seen both those guys get beat and we think we can,

371
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: we can, you know, do some things against him, and

372
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: I like I saw people were I think Cowboy fans

373
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: were kind of salty about it, and I was like,

374
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: where's the lie there? I mean, the offensive line is

375
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: not the wall that it's reputation suggests Andre and it

376
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: hasn't been for a while. And I'll I'll ride with

377
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith any day. But I I mean, yeah, like

378
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: I said, at this point in their respective careers, Nick

379
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: bow is a better player than Tyron stuff. Well there,

380
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll say this. I mean, Bosa hasn't made

381
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: a play on the Cowboys this year, so maybe that maybe.

382
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll be the same as Joey Bosa.

383
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he even played in the game. It's

384
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: good point now they shut him ter steals. I mean

385
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play it though. Yeah, I mean he might,

386
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: I mean to play some but I don't know if

387
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. But I mean he had a that

388
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: was his coming out party. That game. I mean that

389
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: was one where I was like, wow, this not only

390
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: can he hold his own, he he was good. It

391
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: was really good against a really really good player. And

392
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: they play similar styles. But I bet you, I know

393
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: the forty nine defense has got better weapon or you know,

394
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: personnel around Bosa. Put it this way with everything I

395
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: just said, which I do believe. Like I said, I'll

396
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: take my chances that Tyron Smith can show up and

397
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: play like a Hall of Famer and and mitigate Bosa,

398
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: whereas I have less confidence about the guys on the inside.

399
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: All Right, this next one might be a little easier,

400
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: but maybe not bigger threat Samuel's or kittle Man. I

401
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: just saw stat Deebo Samuel, and he's He's the first

402
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: player in the history of the NFL that has more

403
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: than three hundred yards rushing and an average per catch

404
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: of eighteen, which led the NFL. I mean, like, like,

405
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: like that's crazy. You're down the field making plays as

406
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: eighteen yards per clip at receiver, but then when they

407
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: run the ball. I mean, I mean he by far

408
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: led all receivers in rushing him. He's the guy to me,

409
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I Kiddle's great, but I mean there's just

410
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: so many different things that Samuel does. I think I'll

411
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: go Kittle because and I'm not again, I'm not saying

412
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: they're going to be successful. Like Debo will have his plays,

413
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys have players who are equipped to limit him.

414
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: They've got a linebacker who probably runs a better forty

415
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: than Debo or close to it, which is it's not

416
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: an exaggeration, that's crazy. And then they've got a cornerback

417
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: who's bigger than him. Trayvon is bigger than Debo, he's

418
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: only Debo's only six foot uh, you know, one eighty

419
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: one ninety two hundred maybe like he's a smaller receiver.

420
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: So those guys, they match up well with him. I'm

421
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: sure he'll beat them both at some point. But I

422
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: and with all due respect to Jaron Curse, I just

423
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: don't know if the Cowboys, I don't know if any

424
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: NFL team has a guy who can stop a kittle,

425
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, Like those types of tight ends are just

426
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: hard to deal with. Although I mean, Jay Roun's matched

427
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: up with some of the best tight ends in the

428
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: league this year and hasn't gotten embarrassed at all, has

429
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: not gotten embarrassed, Like he played a great game against

430
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. Travis Kelsey still had a nice day that day.

431
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: But that's what you're gonna give up something to those

432
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: kind of guys. But that's kind of my point is

433
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: there's only so much you can do to stop a

434
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: tight end like that, right, all right, Um, so let's

435
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about Deebo Samuel a little bit. How how

436
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: do you think Dallas attacks that? Like his all the

437
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: different things he can do. How do you think Dallas attached?

438
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: Because usually when you got a receiver that's a dominant receiver,

439
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: you could say, Okay, we're gonna take our best corner,

440
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna put him on him, or we're gonna take

441
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: our second best and then we're gonna double the other guy. Um,

442
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, how do you handle a guy that that

443
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: is going to be in a lot of different spots

444
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: doing a lot of different things. I think you have

445
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: to do multiple things. And I think Jordan Lewis will

446
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: factor into this. I think I think he could be

447
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean somewhat of a spy kind of on him.

448
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: I think that they need to show the forty nine

449
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: ers as many different looks as possible. If there's a

450
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: third and long situation, I'm putting digs on Kittle, I'm

451
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: letting them have to wonder different things. So I would

452
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: probably have four different ways that I'm going to attack

453
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: that and see which one where. If one of them

454
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: doesn't work at all, then don't do it on that.

455
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: How concerned would you be with Diggs on him because

456
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: the one thing we know about Deebo Samuel he is

457
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: very powerful. He can break tackles. We also talked about

458
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, the digs. That's the probably the

459
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: part of his game that probably needs the most development

460
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: is his ability to tackle. How concerned would you be

461
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: in that kind of situation in open space of him

462
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: making that tackle? Concerns I mean, gott to make the tackle.

463
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: But I mean it's not you know, it's not FRANKL. Harris.

464
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: I mean like, I mean, get them, get them down.

465
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean like it, I don't know. I'm I'm ready.

466
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm ready for the game. I'm just like, I'm just

467
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: ready because it's like we hurt all this stuff, and

468
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just like I'm not buying in like

469
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: this is not like the greatest team to ever play

470
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: like it's and I just think that's what's happening. We're

471
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: just hearing all these things about Deebo Samuel and he's

472
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: got these great stats and all that, but they get beat.

473
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: But let's be honest, it's the playoffs. This is gonna

474
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: be as long as the Cowboys are in. This is

475
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: guy's gonna be every week because you're gonna be playing

476
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: a team that's really good, the playoff team, and by

477
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: the way I would get the really good I would

478
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: get I think they're a good team. Yeah, I think

479
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: they're a good team. Ten and seventeen. I think they're

480
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: a good team. I'm just asking. I mean, like I'm

481
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: not I'm not trying to throw shade. I'm just saying

482
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: they had a ninety one yard drive away from being

483
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: nine and eight to finish the season. They need ninety

484
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: one yards to save their season, and they did it.

485
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: But I mean, this isn't this is a They were

486
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: a little above average team for most of the year.

487
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: So I'm tied with Coys. Looking from the other side,

488
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are a better team. I mean, they're a

489
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: better team. I mean they've they've had maybe their schedule,

490
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. This is probably about even

491
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: the schedule because they don't play in the same division,

492
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: but they've had tougher road outside of the division. And

493
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: I think that they've proven all year long that they're better.

494
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: They're at home, they have a much better quarterback. I mean,

495
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. I mean I think it's

496
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: a double digit win for the Cowboys. I really do.

497
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: I just think I just think this is the same

498
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: as filling out your bracket and you're like, oh, the

499
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 1: six to eleven game, you gotta pick that, you know.

500
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of these trendy picks, so

501
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: the six over the threes is easy to pick. But

502
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys have been better team all year long, and they're healthy.

503
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win. Oh, I hope. So I

504
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: agree with some of what you just said, I do.

505
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll get to the picks. I guess, yeah,

506
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: Niners have. I think the Niners are tied with Green

507
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: Bay for the best record in the league over the

508
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: second half of the season. I mean they had they

509
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: lost four in a row in September and October, and

510
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: that's a big part of their record. I agree with

511
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: you to a degree. And it's ironic. I think there's

512
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: some huge irony here because last week it was all

513
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: about you gotta get some momentum. You gotta get week

514
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: to week momentum. They gotta start up the right way,

515
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: and now everybody's talking up the Niners and Cowboy fans

516
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: are pissed about it, like why what makes the Niners

517
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: so good? I'm like, they just went on the road

518
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: and took a must have game from one of the

519
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: best teams in the league. And you talk about momentum.

520
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: That's why everybody's jumping on their bandwagon. Right They played

521
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: their best game of the season the last week end

522
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: of the year. It was a playoff game for them.

523
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: I get why people are on the Niners bandwagon. I'm

524
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: not saying that they're gonna win, but I understand the

525
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: hype because it's how you finish the season. Speaking of momentum,

526
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: going back to talking about Samuel some will and I

527
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: shouldn't be concerned about this because I think the Cowboys

528
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: are gonna be fine, but the fact that, Okay, you

529
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: get Trevor Dick's back, Anthony Brown back, they were out

530
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: last week, I'm kind of concerned about what the backfield

531
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: looks like for the Cowboys defense. And I should see

532
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: this as them taking a little break and it should

533
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: be good for them and come back even better. But

534
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm always hesitant when the player is out for a

535
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: game and it has to come back. So even though

536
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: I part of me one believes that they're gonna be

537
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: fine and they're gonna go out there and play, give it,

538
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: They're They're all absolutely, They're all I'm still kind of

539
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: hesitant and like, Okay, well, I mean Mia just well

540
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Yeah, but like different different lions.

541
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: Lions don't get COVID. Yeah, but I'm just kinda like, uh,

542
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: are they gonna miss miss like a little beat? Is

543
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: it gonna take them the first half of the game

544
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: to kind of get in the rhythm of things. So

545
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: I'm just kinda keeping my eye on that. That's the

546
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: biggest and it not necessarily as it relates to COVID,

547
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: But if we all had confidence that the Cowboys were

548
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: going to show up and play up to their potential,

549
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: we would all, like, we would feel great about this game.

550
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: We would just be like, yeah, like fort Irons are good,

551
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: but I mean Cowboys, Cowboys will take care of them.

552
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: Who here has one hundred percent confidence that that team

553
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: will show up? I know that's the hard part. And

554
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: when you you know, I agree wholehearted what you're saying, Nick,

555
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: I think you look at the whole year and you

556
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: only play your schedule. But but when you start breaking

557
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: it down, you start looking at the quality of the

558
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: teams Dallas has played. You look at some of the

559
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: losses that they've had, and you do you are left

560
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: with some of those questions about how well do they

561
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: match up against this caliber team? And all I'm talking

562
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: about with this caliber team are you know, teams that

563
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: are in the tin win range, the you know, this

564
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: is a playoff team and the tin win range, like

565
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: is Dallas hasn't been that successful with those kind of

566
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: teams all season, and the games that they did win,

567
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: they definitely weren't double digit wins, like that New Orleans game.

568
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry that that game against New England

569
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: it came down to overtime and they and they had

570
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: to win it in overtime. That game against the Chargers

571
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 1: was a three point game. Like so, there's not a

572
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: lot of things you can look at this like, yeah,

573
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: that's I can hang my hat on that. But guess

574
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: what that's gonna be every single week of the playoffs,

575
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: because the playoffs are hard, and every week you're gonna

576
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: play somebody that's really really good. I mean, the Niners

577
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: are four and four against teams that are in the

578
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: playoffs right now. It's the same story for everybody. But

579
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: but they're a good team and they're gonna be a

580
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: hard out, just like the Cowboys are gonna be hard out.

581
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: I would suspect if there is a balanced San Francisco break,

582
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: they're over there saying right now, man, that team's got

583
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: some talent, like, yeah, I don't know what we're gonna

584
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: do with that, Michael Parsons. And but that's the nature

585
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Every team has good players, right And

586
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot easier to just kind of

587
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: when you're covering a team, you kind of poke holes

588
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: in your own team a little bit, Like we're worried

589
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: about the kicker here and this game where they didn't

590
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: play well and they didn't tackle in this game, and

591
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: they're similar to that, and you know, and I'm sure

592
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: that there's issues. I mean, the forty nine ers on

593
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: their past defense, you know, like if you can get

594
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: the ball out, like if you if you can you know,

595
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: if you can block the guys they got over there

596
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: and get the ball out, you can have a lot

597
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: of success. I mean, teams do so, but that's that's

598
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: probably what they're looking at a too. Like they look

599
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: at these receivers in this corner right here, you know,

600
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is. I mean, they're like

601
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: which Garoppolo is gonna show up like, Look, they got

602
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: their issues too. I get that. But it's gonna be

603
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: a tough game, just like all these games are gonna

604
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: be tough games. That is the hard part about the playoffs.

605
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: You gotta basically string together three to four really good

606
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: games if you're gonna be a champion. Right, all right,

607
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,280

643
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: the crease at his hat, the bend of his brim,

644
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,280

Speaker 1: SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. Got a few more

658
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: questions before we get to predictions. This question came from

659
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: Colin Brennett. I asked the question earlier in the week

660
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: to Bucky Brooks as well, we've heard all week and Nick,

661
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: you've been talking about you know, everybody's talking about Dallas

662
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: and the bad matchups they got trying to face the

663
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco team. Let's flip that, what are the bad

664
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: matchups at the forty nine ers have? What are they

665
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: worried about when they're looking at this Dallas Cowboys team.

666
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: The irony is that Waldo on the forty nine Ers

667
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: defense saved their season Andrey Thomas picked off Stafford to

668
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: end that game. He's been a liability for them all year,

669
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: which not trying to dog on him. He's a rookie.

670
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: He's a third round draft pick starting for them as

671
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: a rookie, and teams have taken advantage of them. Really,

672
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: their whole secondary shouldn't do a whole lot to scare you.

673
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: Like they signed Josh Norman. They benched him against the

674
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: Rams because he's been so ineffective. He was a special

675
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: teams player, which I mean, I know he's been in

676
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: the league for a while at this point, but it's

677
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: just a fall from grace for a guy who was like,

678
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, defensive player of the Year type guy five

679
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: or six years ago. Um, their secondary is not very good. Especially,

680
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that is a decided advantage for the Cowboys

681
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: passing game. If Dak Prescott is on his feet, that's

682
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: that's everything to me. Is um again going back to

683
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 1: the thing about Bosa and the tackles, Like if if

684
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: you can find Dak time to throw or scheme throws

685
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: for him to throw on the run, and he feels

686
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: comfortable and confident doing that, there should be plays to

687
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: be made against that secondary. I just don't think it's

688
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: very good. Yeah. I mean to me, I look at

689
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, and I think it's

690
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: their quarterback, you know, when when he's having to throw.

691
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean, like that that's gonna be the problem. Now.

692
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: They have a pretty good they have a good offensive line,

693
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: They have some veterans there and in their interior. But um,

694
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's gonna be tough for them

695
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: to to figure out exactly what dan Quinn's gonna do,

696
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: how he's gonna scheme up these guys. I mean, you're

697
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna see Gregory standing up and moving around. You'll see

698
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: d Law you'll see obviously you'll see my and I

699
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: think a quarterback, you know, usually you do something really

700
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: well and then something you don't. You know, like it's

701
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: like Eli wasn't Eli Manning wasn't a great scrambler at all.

702
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: But he's got this touch and he could throw the

703
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: ball and all that. I mean, I don't know what

704
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy g really does like great, you know, like he's

705
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: not going to be that athletic and run all over

706
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: the place and get around and he's not the best thrower,

707
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: so you gotta get after him. If they can get

708
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: after him, get right in his face with the middle

709
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: of the pocket. I think that's going to be in

710
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: a disadvantage for them. You see the type of player that, um,

711
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: you know how some quarterbacks whenever you give him so

712
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: much pressure, they're just like become a little They just

713
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: kind of lose their cool and their mental aspect of

714
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: the game. Is he the type of quarterback that gets

715
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: pretty flustered after getting pressure back and forth? Can he

716
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: like after a player go back in there and stay

717
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: focused and do him It's there's something that's got him

718
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: to throw be erratic, and he's not the most efficient,

719
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: So I would think it's pressure. I mean, I don't

720
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: think he just stands up there with against air and

721
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: missus throws. But I you know, he's got the reputation

722
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: for a reason. I'm sure it's pressure that that gets

723
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: after him. His accuracy definitely dips. I mean again, it's

724
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: the momentum conversation. Like their last game before that amazing comeback,

725
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: they gave up a lead to the Titans, and it

726
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: was Jimmy's fault, Like the forty nine Ers fan base

727
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: was about to riot. He missed a wide open guy

728
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: on what would have been like a game clinching touchdown,

729
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: and everybody was I mean, it was a meltdown because

730
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: they gave up the league and and that put their

731
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 1: playoff hopes in peril. Like if they had won that game,

732
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: I think they clinched a spot a week early or

733
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: it would have been all but assured. So yeah, I

734
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: mean it's oversimplified, but I pointed this out this morning,

735
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: like the more attempts he has, the more confident I

736
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: feel that the Cowboys are going to win this game

737
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: because he just has never proven that he's a guy

738
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: that can it when he has to be carrying the offense.

739
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: The other thing that on the know as being talked

740
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: about as much as I think it should be is

741
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I personally believe why they stuck

742
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: with the run the way they did in that last

743
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: game is because right now his thumb is compromised. It's

744
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: point broken, right, And so when you talk about throwing

745
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: a football, like the thumb is the only digit on

746
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. Being able to control the

747
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: football is about the thumb and the leverage you get

748
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: it with your thumb. So like, I don't know that

749
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: they can really even give him a lot of throws

750
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: right now and feel comfortable with it. And that's not

751
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: even talking about his capability as a quarterback and whatever

752
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: his deficiencies are. That's about the fact that he's just

753
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: compromised physically, and so that could also factor in here.

754
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: And it does lead to my next question for you guys,

755
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: do you expect to see Trey Lance in this game?

756
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: Because even if even if you see Garoppolo playing quarterback

757
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: majority of the game, do you expect it maybe they

758
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: will package him in and try to find ways to

759
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: get him involved in the game. That goes back to

760
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: the idea of like maybe you hold some things back,

761
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: like maybe you do that in the playoffs. But I

762
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: actually I looked this up earlier this week because I

763
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: was under the impression that he's kind of played a

764
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: lot regardless, but it's it's not really true. Like down

765
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: the second half of the season, he was inactive like

766
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: six times, and he started against Houston he had to

767
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: Garoppolo got hurt. Oh, I get the Tennessee game was

768
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, not one, but anyway, but beyond that,

769
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: like three rushes for four yards and Jacksonville started against

770
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: the Cardinals earlier in the season, came in against Seattle

771
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: when Jimmy got hurt, Like he's he hasn't done a

772
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: whole lot unless they've needed him to start. So unless

773
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: they've been holding that back, I kind of don't really

774
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: expect to see it. Did you see the games where

775
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: he started, You have an opinion on what he looks

776
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: like at this point in his development. He played really

777
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: well against a terrible Houston team. I don't know how

778
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: much that means to you, but I'm and I didn't

779
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: go back and watch the whole game, but he had

780
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: two or three throws against them where I was like, oh,

781
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: that's why he was the number three pick in the draft.

782
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: I get it he might be a problem later all

783
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: year because Okay, so I saw a stat that he

784
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: has the highest it's average per attempt eight point six yards.

785
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: It's the it's the highest for a rookie since twenty twelve,

786
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: maybe Robert Griffin or Edrew Luck And I'm like, hey,

787
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like he threw four hundred passes.

788
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean through seventy. Now, I will say that, you know,

789
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: maybe they're gonna look at what the Raiders did, you

790
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 1: know with Mariota came in the game and did something,

791
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: and of course what we saw with New Orleans and

792
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, and their guy Taysom Hill. So you know,

793
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: maybe there's some packages you could see there. Yeah, I mean, shoot,

794
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: I hope they don't do like I'd send him in

795
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: there to do like a wildcat like Taysom Hill was

796
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: so successful with. I mean, he's a big guy. Yeah,

797
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: I hope they don't do that. They haven't really, he's

798
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: so in games that he didn't start, he has run

799
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: the ball like less than twenty times. I just it

800
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: hasn't been a big part of what they've done this year,

801
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: which this isn't college football Like that just makes me

802
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: think of the first year of Tim Tebow's career. They

803
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: did that, like they brought him in in the red zone,

804
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: and like the Belldozer did it at OU for a

805
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 1: few years. But when you're talking about like the number

806
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: three overall pick in the draft, and you're like, let's

807
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: not get you killed. Just make the running backs do that.

808
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on. Let's get some predictions. Like

809
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: I said, I want to talk about all three of

810
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: the NFC games that will happen this weekend. Get your

811
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: opinions on what you think is going to happen. Let's

812
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: start first with the game between division rival Philadelphia versus

813
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. There at Tampa Bay. It is the game

814
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: directly before the Cowboys at noon on Sunday. Who wins

815
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: that game, Dave, Tampa's run defense is not the juggernaut

816
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: that it was last year, and Philly has discovered that

817
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: they're a pretty good running team. So I think, no, no, no, no,

818
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: no no no. Yeah. I was like, go no, I

819
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: just think people people paint this, People paint this as

820
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: like a potential blood bath. I think, Philly, you'll keep it.

821
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: They get eight points, right, I think, yeah, I think,

822
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Tampa's at home, Tampa will win. But I

823
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: do think that this will probably be more competitive than

824
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: people think. I'll pick the Eagles, honestly, seriously, I don't.

825
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: I think Tampa has been asking for it here. You've

826
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: also been You've been saying for a while that you

827
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: thought that seven seed was gonna beat that second seed. Yeah,

828
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I didn't say about the six, I

829
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: said about the seven. Yeah. Yeah, No, I just Tampa

830
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: is just scary. That's just scary. But the thing is

831
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: is that if that happens, I don't like. I don't

832
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys pick after that, you know what I mean,

833
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: because it's like, oh, it's all right there. Now you

834
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: have a chance to be at home again. You gotta win.

835
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: But I think the Eagles, I think they could win

836
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: that game. I think I'm just gonna pick them. I mean,

837
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: what do I have to whatever? Amber No, you will

838
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: not get me to pick the Eagles to win in

839
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: the postseason. Eagles Tampa Bay wins for sure at home. No,

840
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: no way, hostly real real quick. Sorry, but it's worth noting.

841
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: All pro voting just got released. Zach Martin led all

842
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: votes at right guard Michael Parsons led all votes at

843
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: linebacker and Trayvon Diggs led all votes at corners. So

844
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: three first team All pros this year. Nice the tire

845
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: Mix second team that's not out yet, I don't think

846
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: so keep it. That's awesome, all right. Listen to our

847
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: next game, Arizona versus the Rams. It is the Monday

848
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: night game. It is in La. Who wins. Arizona was

849
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: good enough to beat the Cowboys, but they just haven't

850
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: seemed like the same team since they lost Hopkins. Rams

851
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: are at home. Rams are still pretty good. They kind

852
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: of collapsed in the second half against San Francisco. They

853
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: did split during the regular season, correct, Yeah, yes, they

854
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: did out. Aaron Donald mauled Arizona in the second Like

855
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: Arizona beat them pretty bad in the first game, but

856
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald got like three or four sacks in the

857
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: second game, just totally kicked their butts. Um, I'm going

858
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: Rams a Rams. Yeah, the same. Arizona to me is

859
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: just they've been losing their shine. It's like they started

860
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: off then they were really brian, and then slowly they

861
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: started getting a little rusty. So yeah, not picking them

862
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: to win. Yeah, I think coming off that game last

863
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: week too. I think the Ram's gonna have a little

864
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: extra something ready. I think they're gonna win that game

865
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: as well. All right, finally, Cowboys San Francisco, who wins

866
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: the game at and T Stadium Sunday at three thirty.

867
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: Let's start with you, Amber, Who in here would even

868
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: pick the forty nine ers to win? If anybody does,

869
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: then walk out? Wow, leave, don't want our honest and

870
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 1: don't come back. Okay, okay, okay, why would have no?

871
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely gonna be a tough game. It's

872
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: gonna be fun for us to watch. I cannot wait

873
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: for it to get here already. But um, I think that, Yeah,

874
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are gonna struggle for sure. It's not like

875
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: they're that I'm expecting them to be completely dominant how

876
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 1: they've been in past games. I think that the defense

877
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: might struggle a little bit. But at the end of

878
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: the game, I think, I mean, there's really not an

879
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: option here. I have no other answer than to pick

880
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: in the Cowboys. That's it. Sorry, day, this game is

881
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: a close enough, Matt like, there's we're all going to

882
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: pick the Cowboys. We like, there's no way that four

883
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: impartial people should all pick Dallas to win this game

884
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: like it's it is. I think it's a toss up game.

885
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: I think the forty nine ers are good. I think

886
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: they are built to win a game like this, but

887
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: I think Dallas has the better quarterback. And I just

888
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: trust and I just like it reminds me of twenty nineteen.

889
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: I keep saying this, it's like every week. I just like,

890
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: I trust in their potential so much like I've seen it,

891
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: and I refuse to believe that they're not going to

892
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: show it on a stage like this. And if I

893
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: get burned, I get burned. But I don't want to

894
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: bet against this team, knowing what they're capable of. If

895
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 1: they can pull it all together. I think the Niners

896
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: are going to move the ball really well between the twenties.

897
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: I think I think it's gonna look a lot like

898
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers game. If you remember, like Herbert got his

899
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: Like they move the ball, but the Cowboys came up

900
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: with the stops, Like Casey gets a pick on the

901
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: goal line, Micah sacks Herbert to push him out of

902
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: touchdown range. That type of thing. I think you're gonna

903
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: see a lot of settling for field goals. Um, I

904
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be really stressful. But I got Cowboys

905
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: twenty three nineteen. Nick told us, yeah, eight points, thirty

906
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: to twenty. I wonder why you chose that score. Why

907
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: have you ever seen that score before? Yeah, thirty to twenty.

908
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: I just think that the road it's not gonna end here.

909
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: This has been too good of a team and that

910
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: this is not where it ends. I think it's what

911
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: Dave said. I think they have the better quarterback, and

912
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: I think that I think that they're gonna play I

913
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: think I think they have more rushing yards than the

914
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: forty in this game, which you know, if if you

915
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: have a thirty to twenty game, that should probably be

916
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: the case, and so I think it will. I think

917
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: that they well, we'll see them play a great game

918
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be fun. But I you know, I'm

919
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: just not sold on the forty nine ers. I mean, like,

920
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: they had a great game. I get it, but I

921
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: mean they they were pretty close from me getting knocked

922
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: out too. The Cowboys have been a good team all year.

923
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: From the moment they played Tampa Bay, we were like,

924
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good team, and there's never been a

925
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: doubt that this was a good team, so they're not

926
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna lose in the first round and not to me.

927
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: And I just think it's a very trendy pick because

928
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: everyone you're seeing nationally is doing exactly what you just did.

929
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: Some producers are gonna say pick the games. Okay, Eagles

930
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: are gonna lose, UM Rams may beat the Cardinals. Need oh,

931
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: I got one. Yeah, I saw the Niners play this

932
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, Dallas they always joke or you know

933
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: what I mean. It was an easy, trendy pick. I'm

934
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: not falling for it. I think Dallas is better. Yeah,

935
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. I also think Dallas gonna win.

936
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: No surprise there, But I will tell you why. The

937
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: reason why is because yeah that's a good that's a

938
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: good reason why. But one of the reasons why I

939
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: think this is going to happen is because I think

940
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn's experience as a defensive coordinator is going to

941
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: shine through in this game. All week. I would put

942
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: money on it that those players and that coach has

943
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: been talking about. You know, they think they can bully us.

944
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: You know, they think they can run all over us.

945
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: You know, they think we're finesse team. You know, they

946
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: think that. I think that they're gonna go into this

947
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: game with their sights firmly set on we are not

948
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: going to let you run on us. And I think

949
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: this Dallas defense is good enough that if they go

950
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: into a game saying we are not going to let

951
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: you run on us, that doesn't mean they might pop.

952
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,479
Speaker 1: They may not pop some I think by and large,

953
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: that won't be the story of the game. Now, they

954
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: may beat you in other ways. This game might be

955
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: close for other reasons. I ultimately don't think this game

956
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: is gonna come down to the fact that San Francisco

957
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: just ran the ball all over for Dallas. I think

958
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: Dallas is too good defensively to let that happen, knowing

959
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: coming into the week that that's the target, like that's

960
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: the thing that they have to stop. So I actually

961
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: think Dallas gets to win. And I don't know if

962
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: what I think the score is. I do think it's

963
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: going to be close. So I would not be surprised

964
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: as three or four point difference in this game, because

965
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a very very close game

966
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: all the way down. So we're all we're signing up

967
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: for a divisional weekend of going back to Tampa with

968
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 1: the Rams going to Lambo. Oh not Nick, We're gonna

969
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: be a Philly is going. Oh, you're right, we'll be

970
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: hosting the Rams. Sorry, sorry Rams or Cardinardins. I got

971
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: the Rams. I would love to see the Cardinals come

972
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 1: back into here. I love see. I'll settle. I'll settle

973
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: for just still playing whatever wherever You're right At this point,

974
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't really even care the opponent is. Just keep winning, guys,

975
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: because whoever you gotta play, it's gonna be hard. There's

976
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: no easy wins at this part of the year. All Right,

977
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 1: we appreciate you, guys, Jonas. We'll be back on Monday.

Speaker 1: We'll let you know went what went right and what

979
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 1: went wrong for the Cowboys, hopefully more right than wrong.

980
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: To then for Nick Eatm, Dave Elm, and Namer Garcia.
