We're gonna get into the 18 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: Washington offense versus the Dallas defense. We might even get 19 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: some fan questions here. In the final segment of the Break, 20 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: Let's start versus the roster move. Cowboys release wide receiver 21 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: James Washington. Why did this free agent acquisition fail? Because 22 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: he got hurt in OTAs in mini camps and they 23 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: really couldn't see him there. They had an idea of 24 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: what the player could be. You know, the last part 25 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: of his career at Pittsburgh, Ben Roethlisberger, we kind of 26 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: know that game wasn't going down the field. He wasn't 27 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: as accurate. You know. They were all those receivers in 28 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh who initially we were like, wow, look at this group, Claypool, 29 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: look at all these guys. I mean, they're all good players. 30 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: And then the quarterback just goes off the cliff and 31 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: then they have their situation where the young quarterbacks just 32 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: weren't ready to play. So now he transfers to Dallas 33 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: the OTA's mini camp, and we're all watching practice. We're 34 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: all looking, we're all taking notes, you know, getting our 35 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: stories ready. He never practices, and then all of a 36 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: sudden you say, okay, well let's see what happens at 37 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: training camp. And then he gets there first practice, we're 38 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: all standing along the fence, gets hurt again, you know, 39 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: and so now you're sitting there going, well, people develop 40 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean you get guys. I mean they were chasing. 41 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: They were chasing a receiver. I mean we sit there 42 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: and you know, show ninety one ninety four, we're about 43 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. You know, we were talking about that, and 44 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: so they were chasing wide receivers and you know, he 45 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: was a guy that they just really didn't have a 46 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: have a clear understanding of what he could do. Put 47 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: him out there a couple of times, and they got 48 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: better players that can that can play, and that's why 49 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: you move on. Yeah, even from practice, I mean the 50 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: times I personally watched, he never really stood out or 51 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: did anything that really would is good enough to get him. 52 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: And even the time that we were waiting, Okay, finally 53 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna see him what he can do on the 54 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: field when they play him, he only got one. They 55 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: only targeted him once and it was a drop. So 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: then that was disappointing. But he just never got to become, 57 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: like Brian said, I got to develop into that guy 58 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: that even coming out of college he was apparently pretty good. 59 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: I never really saw him play. I saw highlights when 60 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: they got him here, but a very talented guy in college. 61 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: But it just even then, I don't it just didn't 62 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: translate to what the Cowboys were looking and needing at 63 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: the time. He wasn't able to step up. Does it 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: all make you nervous that when you look at that, 65 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: obviously you still got games to go through in the playoffs, 66 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: hopefully multiple games, and you never know what happens with injuries. 67 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: Does it make you nervous that maybe they should have 68 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: held onto him just to have the extra body in 69 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: the event you need him due to injury. Yeah, I'm 70 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: a little surprised by that, but I think that I 71 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: think this game when they realized that, you know, they're 72 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: gonna have to play it, and they're playing this game, 73 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: and and from the injury standpoint, there's there's more guys 74 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: that that you need to kind of, you know, maneuver around, 75 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: and you kind of with the roster and from the 76 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: practice squad moving up and you've got injuries, you're just 77 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to kind of mess with the roster. And 78 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: so you got a veteran receiver who's not really playing 79 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: special teams and he's not really in the rotation and 80 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton has definitely taken over that spot that 81 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: it just didn't didn't work. I think you know Nick's 82 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: right about this though, You're you're running out of you know, 83 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: I think that I think that Washington was a guy 84 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: initially that was here to protect yourself, and then all 85 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: of a sudden you had guys that were developed, and 86 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: then you're starting to use these guys to play off 87 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: the practice squad. You know, you're you're you're running out 88 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: of You're using all three of those elevations, and now 89 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: you're in a situation like, Okay, you know, we've depending 90 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: on what you think about Turpin, you know, I mean 91 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: there's another receiver. You know, you got Tolbert. I mean, 92 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: I know, if something were to happen, you probably really 93 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: don't want to throw you know, uh, you know, throw 94 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: him out there, but that's what you're gonna have to 95 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: do if you if you have an injury. But they've 96 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: got these practice squad elevations, you know, they have to 97 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: think about they have to think about their center. You know, 98 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: I think they've used all those for you know, those guys, 99 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: and uh it was Sheep Shipley. Yeah, So I mean, 100 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's a situation for one week, you're 101 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to but he was gonna you can only 102 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: use it three times, three times, three times, right, so 103 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: you know you're now depending on Okay, what about Farniac? 104 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: You know, Okay, Farniac gets through this week and everything's cool. 105 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: Me personally, I felt like that Washington was the fifty 106 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: third player. That that's where I was when you looked 107 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: at the big picture of it. I'm like, Okay, if 108 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: they have to make a move to get somebody back on, 109 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: James Washington's going to be the guy. It's gone. That. 110 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: That's why I once, once they got t Y Hilton, 111 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: once he was incorporated, once he started making plays, my 112 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: need for the protection of James Washington is no longer here. 113 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Let's talk about some injuries. 114 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: I got some names. I'm gonna run down if you 115 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: guys can give me kind of an update on where 116 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: we are with them. Tony Pollard did not play last week. 117 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: Where are we as far as his return? He said 118 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: after the game last week he was going to play. 119 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: And uh, and and I think that you say he has. 120 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: Pollard said he would he would play. That I don't 121 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: always mean anything. Uh. Players always think they're gonna play. 122 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: But I just get the sense, we'll see what they 123 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: do with practice. I mean, the whole schedule's upside down 124 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: right now. But when Mike McCarthy talks, he might be taught, 125 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: he might be answering that um questions. But I think 126 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: my gut is that he'll play. Yeah, I think that 127 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: they at least for twelve yards. Yeah, that's yeah. That's 128 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: the thing. I think that they want to. They want to. 129 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: They need to get some things back going with this 130 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: running game. Again, this is gonna be a difficult team 131 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: to run the ball against. We'll talk about their defense tomorrow. 132 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean just watching them play the Browns and stuff 133 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: like that in a couple of other games, it's there's 134 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: some challenges up front. I think if he could play, 135 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: they need to play, you know, and see because they're 136 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's going on the right side 137 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: of this offensive line with Martin and Smith. Is there 138 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: a combination? Are you gonna be able to read the 139 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: blocks and stuff like that. I think you need some 140 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: continuity going into the playoffs. I have my graphic ready, 141 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: so I hope he does play. The graphic has been 142 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: sitting there for a couple of weeks waiting to go out. 143 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: But I don't think they saw a need to really 144 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: even risk it playing him when you got a guy 145 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: like Davis. He I mean, he's done a good job running. 146 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: They were just they struggle overall last week. But what 147 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: you've seen in the backup position, behind the backup, which 148 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: is I mean, do you call Tony Polar backup? Co starter? Yeah? 149 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: Co starter? There you go. No, but they just got 150 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: three really good guys that can do the job, so 151 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: there was no need to kind of which then makes 152 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: me wonder if he does play because of that, because 153 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: there's really no need to rush it. Yeah, what are 154 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: we hearing about, Laton Vanderish. I think that's a playoffs. 155 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: That's a playoff situation right there. I think there's a 156 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: couple of guys that you're going to get back for 157 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Vander esh And I'm sure you're going to 158 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: go into Hankins has Yeah, Hankins, those two you can 159 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: kind of put those together as playoff guys. Well, we 160 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: think in first playoff game they're back there. I think so, yeah, Uh, 161 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: Tyler beat, that's when is gonna be very very close, 162 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: very very close and close as in this weekend close 163 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: close now is like close for the playoffs? Yeah, close 164 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: for the playoffs. They love the kid's toughness. They love 165 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: everything about him. They love how hard he's gonna work. 166 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna do everything he can. They're worried about him 167 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: having to take on one on one blocks. I was 168 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: told one of the things for an offensive lineman it's 169 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: hard to do if they have the high ankle, is 170 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: when you have to pass set and then you have 171 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: to anchor down on a guy and you have to 172 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: push down on that foot and that ankle that that 173 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stress on that and that's where 174 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: you when you get bull rushed, you know, especially the 175 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: position he plays inside. He doesn't deal with light guys. Inside, 176 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: he deals with heavy guys, and so that's a little 177 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: bit of an issue that they're they're having to work 178 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: through there. So I was told it's going to be 179 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: really it's gonna be tight, and I think that's why 180 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: you're seeing this ramp up. Farniac was going to be 181 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: a guy that was going to be his window was 182 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: going to start this week regardless. I mean, it just 183 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: happened that you lose your ciner. Now you got oh wait, 184 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: you got Farniac. Farniac sounds like he's ready to play. 185 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: Are they going to play him or are they going 186 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: to do what they do with all these injuries these 187 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: guys coming back, They give him a week and then 188 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: they get them ready for So I think Farniac is 189 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: you're acing the hole if the otist can't go against 190 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: Tampa or Packers or whoever you play in that first round. 191 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: You know, when you think about from a roster standpoint, 192 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: why cut James Washington? Why you know what did you 193 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: need their spot for? Well, maybe so you could put 194 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: Farniac on the roster when when you know this week 195 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: and then you can still bring up if you've got 196 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: an offensive lineman, you can still bring up a lineman 197 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: to add some depth and all that. You know, Let's 198 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: just see how, yes, see how the game goes. Got 199 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: to see how that game and Philadelphia is going at 200 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: the same time. I mean, I'm not saying you don't rest, 201 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna rest players, but if either one of the 202 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: games gets out of hand, you might. Yeah. So, you know, 203 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: with everything you say, Brian about the challenges of a 204 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: high ankle when you're center, it makes me think also 205 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: the opponent might matter as to whether they think he's 206 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: ready to go. If you're the fifth seed and you're 207 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: going to Tampa and he's got to look at Vita 208 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: Vea all day and maybe a situation you're like, I 209 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: don't think he can hold up that high ankle and 210 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: gonna hold up against that big dude and somebody with 211 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: that kind of skill on top of his size and 212 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: stay there is just a lot to that. They really 213 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: do think this guy is tough and he'll play through things, 214 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: and they're not worried about that at all. But when 215 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: I heard the word it's going to be close, Yeah, 216 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: that's when I started to kind of antennas come up. 217 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: You know, I'm anxious to see how this all plays out. 218 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: Because Connor McGovern I think, gives them a little bit 219 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: more size there at center. Then if Peters is the 220 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: guy you say Farniak's in there, then that changed some things. 221 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: Farniac member did play against Tampa. He did right week one. 222 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: My Governor got hurt, yeah, and then far he played 223 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: against when they can play the Commanders. I went back 224 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: and watched the game. He played in the Commanders game 225 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: as well, but against Tampa. The last two times they've 226 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: played him Week one of the season this year and 227 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: last year. Size in the middle of the line they 228 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: couldn't run right up the middle. They had to trial 229 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: this stuff on. Jack Martin was out the first time 230 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: that you Tampa. Yeah, so I think this could be 231 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: a situation where your your your offensive line is bigger 232 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: than it's ever been, stronger than it's ever been. And 233 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: we'll see how how it plays out. But if Peters 234 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: is that guard or tackle and Tyler Smith's the guard, 235 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: I do think you've got more strength going up against Tampa. 236 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: I that's who you face than you've had the last 237 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: couple of years. And that's also been frankly why I've 238 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: been so shocked that the running game has been struggling 239 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: here these last couple of weeks, because my first thought 240 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: when they decided to bring Tiring back and put him 241 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: on the right side, I'm thinking road grade, like you 242 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: should be running over people, and that just hasn't been 243 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: the case. I'm embarrassed to admit this, and I have 244 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: all year. They miss Steele, they miss Steel in the 245 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: running game, they really really do. Because there's offensive linemen 246 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: get accustomed to playing next to a guy, and that's 247 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: why they always talk about continuity. That's always say the 248 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: same five. They always want you to play with the 249 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: same five guys, because what happens is you plug two 250 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame players next to each other and they 251 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: haven't played next to each other and never you know, 252 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. So all of a sudden, you know, 253 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: Martin knew how Steel was going to come off the 254 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: ball and athlete and be an athlete and work to 255 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: his hip and then get up inside and turn and 256 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: then now you're really not, here's tiring. Like, Okay, when 257 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: I was on the other side, I used to do 258 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: it this way. So there's some figuring out going on. 259 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: When you start to talk about combination blocks, you know, 260 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: they'll tell you secure the down guy first and then 261 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: get to the second level. You know, right now it's 262 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: like they can't get the down guys secured, and now 263 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: the second level guys running over the top and making 264 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: plays for three yards. Well, I mean, just think about 265 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: what happened in the game. I mean, you're saying to 266 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: halt future Hall of famers. As good as they are, 267 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: they're still figuring out on that right side how to 268 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: work together. Then you get an injury in the middle 269 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: of the game, all three of the other spots change. Yeah, 270 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: I mean, then Tyler Smith left, tackle moves to guard, 271 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: Peters comes in and the guard. Every everybody just slides 272 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: right and it's like right, and then then you're like 273 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: a wedding right the other I got the picture of Brian. 274 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: Yeah that Philip oh Man. We gotta tell that story 275 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: sometime later. But go ahead, four ambars. I mean those goals. 276 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: Rob had those gold plates. This are called chargers charge. Yeah, 277 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: Brian goes, hey, I just one Wimbledon Robs like, we 278 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: had a lot of it. Back to anything. Ever, Rob 279 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: had that open bar and it kind of got to 280 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: some people here on the program. That's hilarious about balance, 281 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: about balance? How many how many drinks can you carry 282 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: in one hand? I carry a lot if you're good time? 283 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: Where we going with? I don't know? We just you 284 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: got mean when was the wedding? The slide of the right. Yeah, 285 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: all right, you've changed so much about the offensive line. 286 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: We start talking continuity that obviously is not what they 287 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: have right now. No, they don't, they really don't. They're 288 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: trying their best to. You know, it's like hey, plug in, 289 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: plug in, do this and that, and you're feeling like, oh, hey, 290 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: they'll be all right, and then you start to think, man, 291 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: these cats hadn't played with each other here, you know, 292 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: they haven't played in a game where they can they 293 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: know they're you know. I mean there's times it's funny. 294 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm watching the games where I'm watching like with Zach Martin, 295 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: and you know, we always kind of kept an eye 296 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: over on Steel and he's still just had a habit 297 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: he's keeping an eye on Tyron Smith. And I'm going, man, 298 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean, how you know you're get in such a 299 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: habit of playing that, like when you keep one hand 300 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: here and you're looking, you're looking, you're looking, and you 301 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: let him go and then you know he just goes 302 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: just punishes Tyron Smith's guy. You know. But that's what 303 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: he used to do with Steel. So you get in 304 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: that habit of and he's probably thinking, why am I 305 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: doing this? This guy over here is gonna be fun? 306 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: I need to worry about the center. Yeah, you know 307 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: that's it takes a little work with each other. All Right, 308 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna check our first break.

Real quick, before 357 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: we get into the Washington offense versus Dallas defense, I 358 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: just saw online Mike McCarthy is doing his press confence 359 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 1: right now. We are recording that. It'll be up on 360 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: the website a little later. But he did to make 361 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: mention about James Washington said something interesting. He said, I 362 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: actually feel bad about James's opportunity here. Special teams play 363 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: as a big part in these decisions. Could be one 364 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: of those situations where, like you were talking about, maybe 365 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't play Nick you said, it doesn't play special teams. 366 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: Maybe could even be the fact that you got another 367 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: receiver out there who is playing special teams and returning 368 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: quite well that you could throw in. How many receivers, yeah, 369 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: how many receivers you had that don't play special teams 370 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: on this team. I mean, like, if you think about it, 371 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: top three, top three, sure, yeah, I mean this thing though, 372 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: came down to it, like what Brian said, and me, 373 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: get hurt at the wrong time. You get hurt at 374 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: the wrong time, and you know, you don't miss games 375 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: so much when you get hurt in the offseason, but 376 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: but it affects you when it's time to make decisions. 377 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: And that's that's what happened. And you know, but even then, 378 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: they held on to him a really long That was 379 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: really long, and that surprised me the most, is how 380 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean. And you've been talking about it, like, Okay, 381 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: we all knew they needed some extra hell yeah, and 382 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: there were the whole um Odell's situation right opening and lingering. 383 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: But even then, prior to that, it was still he 384 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: was about to be ready, or maybe they even knew 385 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: weeks before kind of filtering into the media. You know, 386 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, we're all at the we're all out 387 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: there in Oxnard and we're peppering Stephen Jones with these 388 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: questions about adding a receiver, and he kind of knew 389 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: where Gallop was in his rehab, so all of a 390 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: sudden and then it became, well, gallops back and let's 391 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: see what we got with Tolbert. Let's see you know, 392 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: there's all these things. And they just kept on and 393 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: on and on waiting, and finally it's like, you know, somebody, 394 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: they probably went to Robert Prince, the receiver's coach, and said, listen, 395 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: we're thinking about moving on from James. And I'm like, well, 396 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: James hasn't really helped us all that much this year, 397 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 1: you know, and you mentioned a couple of games he got, 398 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, t Y Hilton in one game, all of 399 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: a sudden, our eyes go, whoa James Washington did he 400 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: play today? How many snaps did he get? To me? 401 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: The guy that moved him ultimately off the roster it 402 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: was Noah Brown because when he wasn't taking snaps, Noah 403 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: Brown was and he was getting a rapport with Dak 404 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: and and and actually playing pretty well. And so when 405 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: the season started, he you know, he did a nice job. 406 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: He's had some games, you know, he's been he's been 407 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,239 Speaker 1: up and down a little bit, but he's been I 408 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: think for what you expecting to Noah Brown, I think 409 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: he's been up more than more he was. The guy 410 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: was Andy Dalton like it was you didn't see much 411 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: of Andy Dalton. I'm sorry, I think it was years ago. Yeah, right, Well, 412 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was in my head because I think I 413 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: saw a donation, yeah, fun that he made. So I 414 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: guess his name was Cooper Cooper Cooper Rush Um. He 415 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: became the guy for him. You didn't see much of 416 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: Michael Gollob, you didn't say much of Ceedee Lamb whatsoever. 417 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: And Noah Brown became surprisingly very reliable to Cooper Rush 418 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: and kind of the chemistry they've been building that practice. 419 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: You know, that's an interesting point because when you think 420 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: about it, I think there were I saw a lot 421 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: of people this offseason who were not happy with the 422 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: fact that the Cowboys didn't retain Wilson Cedric Wilson, and 423 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: for what Cedric Wilson provided for this team, I think 424 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: Noah Brown was equally as good at that role as 425 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson was last year. So you start thinking about 426 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: like what guys aren't here and what guys had to 427 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: assume their roles. I think you would say as a 428 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: number one receiver, CD has stepped up to that. I 429 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: think you'll say Noah Brown step up to the role 430 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: that Cedric Wilson was before. Right, the question just is 431 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: has Michael Gallup been able to come back from injury 432 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: and be who Michael Gallup really needs to be? And 433 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: I don't know that you've seen that consistently enough, But 434 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: those other two you feel pretty good about where you 435 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: are right now with those. Yeah, that's the thing about 436 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: it is with Noah Brown. They last year when Cedric 437 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: Wilson was on this team, they tried Noah Brown first, Yeah, 438 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: they did. They tried, and then Cedric Wilson kind of 439 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: came along and like started making plays and then all 440 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like, man, we really don't need 441 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: Noah Brown anymore. We got Cedric Wilson to make these plays. 442 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, it was but he finally like, oh my 443 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: role last year was to do this, Oh now I 444 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: have to do this now. So he's done a good job. 445 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Noah Brown. I know there's been some plays, 446 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: but there's also been some plays where you're like, you're 447 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: damn glad you have the guy. Yeah, let's be honest, 448 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: Like Noah Brown, you're not expecting for where he was 449 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: drafted for what he's been for this team throughout his career. 450 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: If he were in here and he was perfect this year, 451 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: that would be an anomaly. You're not expecting him to 452 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: be perfect. You're expecting him to contribute. And that's exactly 453 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: what he's done. He's played the role of what he 454 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: has to be. That's why he is the third receiver 455 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: and not the top receiver on this team. All right, 456 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: let's go ahead talk about the Washington offense versus Dallas defense. 457 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: Let's start first at those quarterbacks, because, yeah, obviously that's 458 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: been their biggest challenge. They got a good defense, they 459 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: got a good running game. They have not been able 460 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: to get the quarterback position right. Which quarterback gives them 461 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: the best chance against the Cowboys? Carson Wentz, Taylor Heineke. 462 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: They've also thrown out now that maybe Sam Howell even 463 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: plays some this week. Yeah, who gives him the best 464 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: chance against the Cowboys? Sam Howell? Does? Sam Howe actually 465 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: does give him the best chance. And I'll tell you 466 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 1: this because I was I've seen him in college at 467 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: North Carolina and he was drafted in the fifth round, 468 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: and you watched him in the preseason this year, and 469 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: I was surprised. I was really really surprised that they 470 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: didn't the only reason I think he didn't play is 471 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: because they went and got Carson Wentz, you know, and 472 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: then they started off, you know, the way they did 473 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: and all that. Sam Howe is a damn good football player. 474 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: He's a good quarterback. I'm looking forward to seeing how 475 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: he plays in this game because you with him, the 476 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: ball goes down the field. He's super mobile. They could 477 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 1: run the option stuff with him that you know he can. 478 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: He hits underneath routes. He could throw the screens. He's 479 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: got touched. I don't know why they didn't. I can 480 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: say Carson Wentz. I get it. They made their bed 481 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz and they had to sleep in it. 482 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: He's the reason why they lost the game last week. 483 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: His throws. He Carson Wentz has turned into a guy 484 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: that just will throw it to a spot and hope 485 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: for the best. And they've got talented receivers McLaren Dotson, 486 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: Samuel all these guys can catch the football. All these 487 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: guys can get open. They need somebody. And they were 488 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: winning games little bit because their defense is really good. 489 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: I think their defense is I think their front seven's 490 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: really good. But they were winning games because they were 491 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: keeping it close and Heineke wasn't messing up the games. 492 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: Well now he's messing up the games. So now they 493 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: got to figure this thing's out. Well it's too late, 494 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: it's too late. They're done. Sam Howe is going to 495 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: show you something in this football game if you're the Cowboys, 496 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: and when he plays, I I'm looking forward to because 497 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: I think he throws the ball better than those the 498 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: three quarters or the two other quarterbacks they have. I'd 499 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: like to say, more accurate, more down the field. I 500 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: don't think so. I think they're gonna start Taylor Heineke 501 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: and they bring and switch him up. So this is 502 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: one way I get a little worried about that, just 503 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: because like there is no book on Sam Howell yet. 504 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: And as we do in the NFL preseason games, you 505 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: could watch and I get that, yeah, and I know 506 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: it's preseason, but you could watch and you could go 507 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: huh okay, I see And I was I can say. 508 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: I know people there at the Commanders and I was talking, 509 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, why don't you guys play how and well 510 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: we got wins and I'm like, why don't you mean 511 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 1: this guy's better, He's a better player, And they're like, 512 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: well you know we were. I feel like they stole 513 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: him in the fifth round. I know me personally when 514 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: he was drafted and we were doing the draft show 515 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: that that day, and I'm like, hey, they got a 516 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: guy here. He took the heat for everything that was 517 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: a first round quarterback until a senior year at North Carolina, 518 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: first round corps and then all of a sudden they 519 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: had a five hundred season and everybody blamed him for that. 520 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: They had anything around him that was any good. And 521 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,479 Speaker 1: so now he's you know, I think it's gonna be 522 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: I think he's going to Dallas is going to have 523 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: to be on their on their game when he's in 524 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: the football game. I believe that just watching him play. 525 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: I think I remember if the story I might have 526 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: said this for the last time we played Washington. I 527 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: think the story goes as Jerry really wanted Sam Williams. Obviously, 528 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: in the second round, the Cowboys were looking at a 529 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: tight end I think by the name of McBride from 530 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: the Colorado State. Yeah, they really liked him, and they 531 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: ended up. You know, Jerry wins and it's been a 532 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: good pick. Sam Williams has been a good pick. Um. 533 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: In the fourth round, they had to get tight in. 534 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: I mean McCarthy's like, you gotta get me fergus in here. 535 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: Sam Howe was the guy they really wanted to take 536 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: in the four round quarterback there. They really wanted to 537 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: get them. And then they had those fifth round picks. 538 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: But I think Washington's picks, I think Washington's picks were earlier, 539 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,239 Speaker 1: both of both of their first two and they got well, 540 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: let's go and I believe Bland. And then they got 541 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: a couple of guys at the end, Ridgeway and Clark. 542 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: But but they really wanted Sam Howe. I'm just I'm 543 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: just saying it was because of those dominoes effect. They 544 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: really couldn't do it. The only thing like to say 545 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: to me, I don't think the game is going to 546 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: be too big for Sam how It depends on can 547 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: can they get the running game going and can and 548 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: and the thing you didn't see the first time around 549 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: was Brian Robinson, the running back from who was shot 550 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: through the leg. He didn't play against you the first time. 551 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: He is a really hit so Cavaliers. He did, he 552 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: got shot. He did. It was turble situation. It's not 553 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: it's just the way said. It was just just like, 554 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: oh yeah, a hamstring. I mean, yeah, well it was, 555 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: but he can really run the ball. Antonio Gibson's been 556 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: nicked up, so Jonathan Williams is the other back that 557 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: they've been kind of used. But their offensive line, like 558 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: I said, this offensive line, Trey Turner at guard number 559 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: fifty three is the guy I think you go after 560 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: in this game if you go after a tackle, it's 561 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: Charles Leno at the left side. So we'll see how 562 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: they move Micah and others around to play this game. 563 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: But they have a weakness at Turner attack at guard 564 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: excuse me, and Leno at the tackle. But you better 565 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: be able to kind of cover McLaren Dotson and Samuel 566 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: all these cats can make some play. SOFA fans that 567 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: may not have seen Brian Robinson play, what's his game? Like? 568 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: How ye runner he is? I'll tell you what he is. 569 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that when you watched him 570 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: play at when he came out of Alabama, he was 571 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: like an attack the line guy. I mean it's like 572 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: they they hand him. It's sometimes like you say, you 573 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: get these shotguns and hand the ball to a guy 574 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: and he kind of goes sideways. This guy takes the 575 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 1: ball and goes downhill I mean fast. And so he's 576 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: a big guy, and so now he's bouncing off guys, 577 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: spinning off guys, get grabbing the corner. This this team, 578 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: it's it's I know, they're out of it. This has 579 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: to be one of the most discs. If they would 580 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: have figured out the quarterback situation, if they would have 581 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: figured it out, they would be the sixth seed in 582 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: this thing, or they or they might even be competing. 583 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: They threw away some game, got talent. They've done a 584 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: great job of adding players and people. Well there's seven 585 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,479 Speaker 1: seven and one, Brian, what the hell you know? I'm like, 586 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, or seven eight whatever. I'm just telling you, man, 587 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: they've got players. And if they if they're if their 588 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: heads are screwed on right for this football game, they're 589 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: gonna make it a hard game for it. And now 590 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: if they've got one foot in the parking lot and 591 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: they're interested in, like, you know, we're not gonna play 592 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: everybody and all that by all means, go for it, 593 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: go get a win. But if they if these guys 594 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: want to play, I think it's gonna be a really 595 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: really close game. I really do. I think it's they've 596 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: they've got their gonna challenge you with their skill guys 597 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: on that offense, they're gonna challenge you a tight end. 598 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: They're gonna challenge you with Robinson running the ball downhill, 599 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: throwing the screens to him, everything. They're gonna do everything 600 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: they can to kind of get their offense going. And 601 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: and maybe, like I say, maybe this maybe howl is 602 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: this guy that comes in and all of a sudden 603 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: it's like the last game of the year and they're like, Wow, 604 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: we've got a guy. I thought in the preseason they 605 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: had a guy. But but but Brian Robinson.

You know, 661 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure our marketing department is very happy about that 662 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: we gave him a show on Monday. So yeah, good point, 663 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: good point. We're kind of filling in. All right, Let's 664 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: get back to this matchup Cowboys. I don't want to 665 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: win it, you know, That's what I'm saying. I'm trying 666 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: to help Jimmy versus the Commander's offense um Tera McClard mentioned. 667 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: You mentioned Terry McLaren. Dary McLaren is a really good receiver. 668 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: He does not kill the Cowboys very often. He does not. 669 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: My assumption is going into this game, this is one 670 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: of those games when you say, hey, Digs, make sure 671 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: he doesn't do anything bad to us if they go 672 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: that route. Who is the other receiver on this team 673 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: or who is the next receiver on this team that 674 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: you would look at and say, this is the guy 675 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: you gotta be worried about, especially knowing the challenges the 676 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys have had in the secondary. Dotson, Johan Dodson. Yeah, 677 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: they rookie from Penn State and he's the guy. Guess 678 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: what they can do him and Curtis Samuel. They can 679 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: move those guys kind of all over the place. Dotson's 680 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: a guy that their game planning, watching how they played. 681 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: I was prepping this week thinking that maybe that Carson 682 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: Wentz might be the quarterback. So I went back and 683 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: watched the Commanders game from week four, and remember that 684 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: thing was ball out, quick, ball out, quick screens, things 685 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: like that. Might see somewhat of a similar game plan. 686 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: They ran the ball I thought pretty well effective and 687 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they've got in some holding 688 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: calls and penalty set them back. They had a couple 689 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: of sacks that set them back. But yeah, I would 690 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: worry about Johan Dotson because what he is is he 691 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: could go vertical on you. And so now will you 692 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: challenge right and Bland and others with some of those 693 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: deep shots. I kind of fab a feeling that they 694 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: might take a couple of those on you. Yeah, I 695 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: mean when I look at that team, I do think, 696 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: you know, McLaren's their main guy, but for some reason 697 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: he just hasn't been Maybe it's the quarterbacks, you know, 698 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: back and forth, but like, he's got a lot of 699 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: yards this year. Very sneaky though, because oh that's why 700 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: he played has a big game. If you if you said, Brian, 701 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: give me one of the most underrated players in the 702 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: National Football League, I'd say Terry McLarin every time, because 703 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: what happens is he makes I mean, we're watching highlights 704 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: and gosh McLaren had another cat oh yeah, and then 705 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: you look at the status and like, oh he had 706 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: five catches for one hundred and six yards and a 707 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 1: touchdown and you're like going, okay, and then he could 708 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: catch the ball on all levels. But he is one 709 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: of the most underrated. But you're right. Against the Cowboys, 710 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: it's kind of like he sees Diggs and he kind 711 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: of like, oh, I don't know, I don't know. But 712 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see how they try and 713 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: take him out of this football game, and it might 714 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: be with Diggs, you know, traveling with him. I getta, 715 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do something. I don't want this 716 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: to be the game or all a sudden he ends 717 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: up with one hundred and forty eight and two touchdowns 718 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: and something like that. Yeah, you know, like when you 719 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,959 Speaker 1: said two quarterbacks and one of them being a running 720 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: quarterback and reminded me of what Houston did. You know, 721 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: Houston came in and maybe did something that they haven't seen. 722 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: But you know, I still think at the end of 723 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: the day, I mean, I think I'll take my chances 724 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: against a rookie quarterback that's that's never played. I mean, 725 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: he's got he's obviously got some skill, but there's a 726 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,439 Speaker 1: reason he went in the fifth rounds or he hadn't 727 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: played yet. I'll take my chance. I would worry. I 728 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: would worry only on the level of this. And I 729 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: told you, go what you're saying with like, I know 730 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: that Jared's stood him. Last week for the Raiders played 731 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,479 Speaker 1: against the forty and then forty nine ers really didn't 732 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: have it. They're like, yeah, WHOA, what's going the guy 733 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: through for like three something? You know, I mean and 734 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you don't have tape on a guy, 735 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: you're not really sure, and all of a sudden, the 736 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: guy gets hot, he starts finding receivers. All of a sudden, 737 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: you're like going, Wow, we're not covering very well today 738 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: and we're not getting any pass rush. You mins you 739 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: did that to the Cowboys. Yeah, the Saints had some 740 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: tape on him. Yeah he didn't, He didn't have the 741 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: same Yeah, so yeah it happened. That's the part that 742 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: worries you. Like, but you just don't have the tape, 743 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: Like you just don't know the kryptonite. That's the thing, 744 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: Like you might be able to see a couple of 745 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: things from the preseason, but you don't know what it is. 746 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: They don't want to do just that away. I'm being 747 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: really bullish on Sam Howe because I know what I 748 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: saw in North Carolina, and I know what a veteran 749 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: college quarterback. I mean, they like Mitch Rubisky in North 750 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: Carolina was a one year guy and you're watching, like 751 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: oh Mitt and he gets picked third overall. This guy 752 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: played a ton more games at North Carolina, and so 753 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: now your experience and then you saw stuff in the 754 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: preseason and maybe It's like a little bit like what 755 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: we saw when Cooper Rush first came in the league, 756 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 1: and Cooper Rush was like leading the NFL in the 757 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: preseason for passing, you know, i mean like ratings and 758 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and you're like going, oh man, maybe 759 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: this Cooper Rush just got something here. Sam Howe is 760 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: just to me when you watched the body of work 761 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: and him, I'm like, I said, the mistakes that the 762 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 1: Commanders had made is they went got person wins. That's 763 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: the mistake. You know, if they could have rode with 764 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: how and Heineke, maybe they would be in the playoffs. 765 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: You know, maybe they would maybe that would be in 766 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 1: the ploffs. That this team is just too talented not 767 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: to be in the playoffs. I mean I'm just looking 768 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: at it, going, um, you know, they had a chance. 769 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: I mean they had they had the Giants, say the 770 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: Giants beat and you know the officials we always talk 771 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: about that take that game away from him. Yeah. I 772 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,760 Speaker 1: just saw this this tweet on Twitter. Uh Nikki Helvala, 773 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: I hope I pronounced that correctly. She is a reporter 774 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: that covers the Commanders. R tweet was Sam Howe's taking 775 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: the first team reps in practice, there you go. So 776 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: maybe this is a week where they feel like they 777 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: got they're looking at next year obviously, and and so 778 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 1: this might be She is a reporter Washington, NFL reporter 779 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: for the Washington Post. Okay, no, you know, no, I don't. 780 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 1: I'm just curious, Like she was previously with the Athletic okay, 781 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: and the Denver Post in New York Times obviously not 782 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: with Washington Commanders dot Com. And so I was just 783 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: wondering if that tweet came out of here of so 784 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: and so's yeah, yeah, I mean we'd have we'd have, 785 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, meetings in the whole. Problems, Yeah, some problems. 786 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of curio because just for those that 787 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: they're listening, you're the local reporters are not supposed to 788 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: give away this kind of stuff from what they see 789 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: in practice. Now, sometimes it happens, but you're not supposed to. 790 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: She was gonna ask, um, you mentioned you mentioned in Houston, 791 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: and I remember for that game that the Cowboys did 792 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: struggle when with the quarterback situation, they just it just 793 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: took him by surprise. But I don't remember where we 794 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: expecting that week for two quarterbacks to play because they 795 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: called him up off the practice squad on a like Friday. Yeah, 796 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,439 Speaker 1: you know, I mean that they practiced him all week 797 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they elevated him right 798 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: before the game. So you're just thinking, well, maybe it's 799 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: an injury concern, maybe it's an injury happened, So it 800 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: was completely Yeah, that's the part. I couldn't remember if 801 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: it was completely by surprise, because at least the difference 802 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: here is like you don't really know, you know what 803 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: about that happened this weekend.

He said he goes, well, 834 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: first of all, if we do bring our own benches, 835 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: we're not allowed to put logos on them, So I 836 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: don't know.
