00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: This he is talking Cowboys Screaming live on Dallas Cowboys

00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: dot Com and the official Dallas Cowboys asked, does by

3
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: no your hosts Mickey's Fagnola, Brian brought us, Taylor Stern

00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: and Rob Phillips. Welcome everybody into the SWBC Mortgage Studio.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: It is Thursday of Raiders week here at the Star

6
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: in Frisco, and we've got lots to talk about before

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys get ready to play on Sunday Night football.

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: It's always fun around here. And and you know, Brian,

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: I heard you ask coach Garrett today, you're practicing outdoors again. Yeah,

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: he didn't like my question. Why. I don't think he did.

11
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of said, you know, coaches

12
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: or creatures have have it. They got a nice win,

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: they played well last week. The fact they're playing on

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: a grass field, I thought might be another thing. But

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he wanted to be. He's one of

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: those guys it doesn't want to You know, we actice

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: because we practice, not because of the conditions or the

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: grass or anything like that. So I should have known

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: that that was a terrible question on my part. No,

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: it's a fair question. He just doesn't want the perception

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: of a built in excuse of oh well, stuff like that,

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: the way with the altitude and then well, I mean

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: they practiced outdoors last week. They gotta win. Sometimes coaches

24
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: are a little superstitious about the way they do things. Yeah,

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: you're superstitious about our pizza. Yeah, Sam and John, there

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: you go. Yeah. Coach Garrett gave a lot of injury updates.

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Rob if you you know, I saw you posting about that.

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: Which one stood out to you the most? Well? Orlando

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Scandrick feeling better but maybe limited. Maybe gets in and

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: does a little something today. No David Irving again, So

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: you gotta think as there's the fist from Brian. I

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: think he's out cocussion and that's a factory potentially against

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: this Raiders offense. Yep line. Good news for Lyle Collins.

34
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: Looks like he's gonna practice for the first time in

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: more than two weeks. Tyrann Smith will be back as well.

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: Um Justin Durant also coming off a concussion illness last week.

37
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: Maybe get involved a little bit. Bryce Butler maybe not,

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: still dealing with the foot. James Hannah could get in

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: due a little work today. He's got a knee injury

40
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: popped up on the report yesterday and Sean Lee might

41
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: do a little bit more too. So is it the

42
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: same knee that James Hannah has been dealing without through

43
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: his career that I'm not sure of? Do you know,

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: Mick he said he didn't know, did he? Yeah? I

45
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: think it probably is he's had And you know what,

46
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a situation when you get down to

47
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: the end of it, when it turns into the offseason,

48
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: you have to figure something out. Obviously, you've got some

49
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: guys in place. Blake Jarwin's a guy that got you know,

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: when Hannah doesn't practice, Blake Jarwin gets to practice. We'll

51
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: see what happens with Rico gathers in that situation. I

52
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: think that's a twenty and eighteen Okay, where are we

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: at with this knee and stuff like that? You have

54
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that have actually played, you know,

55
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: proven I think Jeff swam and you say, okay, who

56
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: would you you know? James Hanna made a heck of

57
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: a play the other day in that football game, great catch.

58
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: But I think if you said, who are the guy

59
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: that you know you think can block, catch, get down

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: the field the best. I think Swain might be that. Guys,

61
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: that might mean that you know that we see maybe

62
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: a little bit different thought about James Hannah next year. Yeah,

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: great to hear about Lyle Collins and getting back from

64
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: his injury. You know, of course he hasn't really practiced

65
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: at all the past two weeks, but he's had strong,

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: hard matchups in those past two games and still showing out.

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: So of course he has Khalil Mack this week, which

68
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: is nothing to just you know, shake your head at.

69
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: It hasn't gotten any easier. It hadn't gotten any easier

70
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: for him, and I think that's the I think that's

71
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: the thing that you you know, but you have to

72
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: appreciate the way he's played throughout. It's amazing to me.

73
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, guys. I really really don't

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: know about you, guys, but it's so surprising to me

75
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: that he can miss practice and be as effective as

76
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: the way he is that because he's a young player,

77
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: missing practice and not being good or oh no, and

78
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: being and still being I mean, are you surprised, because

79
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I'm surprised because I kind of always felt

80
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: like that he was a guy that needed to practice

81
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: a assignment wise, be technique wise. Yeah, and there seems

82
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: to haven't been any huge problems. Now again, I mentioned

83
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: yesterday Zack Martin. You know, Zach playing next to Zack

84
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: Martin is is a pretty good thing to have going

85
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: if you make a mistake, Oh, Zach Martin can be

86
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: there to help you. But I feel like though, but

87
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: it's it. Hey, when you look at the mental side,

88
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: when you look at the physical side and what he's

89
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: able to do, that's been something that you know, it

90
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: has allowed you to say, Okay, we can give him

91
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: more rest because he's been able to show that he

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: could play in these games. Or maybe the rest is

93
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: the reason why he's playing better. That's that's he might

94
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: have been fighting through it without anybody mentioning yet and

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: it was hurting him. And now that he doesn't have

96
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: to practice every day fully, um, you know, maybe he's

97
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: fresher for the game. By the way, you remember Hannah

98
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: signed a three year deal. Yeah, so be careful cutting

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: guys that I just have already paid. Well, you know

100
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: they've done that before with some guys. Yeah, I mean,

101
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: I don't think Hannah's going to break the bank. With you,

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: but I think there has to be some legitimate concern

103
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: about his injuries, right than the knee. I mean, this

104
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: is something they remember all it was a bone bruising

105
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: camp surgery deal. And I interrite Mickey, I'm not trying

106
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: to cut somebody that's been signed. But you know, we've

107
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: we've seen that in the past. If it comes down

108
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: to can he be healthy enough, can we count on him?

109
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: He also, Yeah, you pay a guy to play, and

110
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: this season he's played. You know, now we're down to

111
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: the final month of the season and he's having to

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: sit out a little bit, or sit at least the practice.

113
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: You gave the out sign on David Irvy. I do

114
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: we're sitting here a week and a half. Of course,

115
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: you never shake your head at a concussion. But getting

116
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: back to that Rob you mentioned it's going to impact

117
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: this run game for the Oakland Raiders. Yeah, just Brian

118
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: made the good point yesterday in terms of, you know,

119
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: he's not your typical plugger three technique guy in the middle.

120
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: Irving is he's a guy who who's athletic, who can

121
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: penetrate the pocket and maybe give these big Raiders offensive

122
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: linemen some trouble if you don't have him, then you're

123
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: going with Richard ashe and rotation with Lewis Neil. It's

124
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: just a little bit of a different matchup. So he

125
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: provides kind of a unique element for them in the middle,

126
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: paired with MALIEK. Collins, and if they don't have that,

127
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: I think you might see a show up. I think

128
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: we're in Rob's exactly right. What's going on. You have

129
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: to make this raider front move. You have to. You

130
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: can't just rush him right down the middle. If you

131
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: do that, you're playing right into their strength. Make these

132
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: guys have to move, and I think that's what David

133
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: Irvin is able to do. We talk about the slinky ability,

134
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: the ability to get into gaps, to play on the move,

135
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: to kind of take a step, hard step, then come back,

136
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, redirect things. You know, that's where David Irvin

137
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 1: is going to be really help you in these types

138
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: of games. But I'm just falling on Mickey's concussion protocol himself,

139
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: what he's talked about. If the guys still practice two

140
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: days in a row, I anticipate them being a I mean,

141
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: I think it's been pretty consistent with that, you know,

142
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: So I just don't see him playing this week, and

143
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: I would think the same as Scandrick. I think Scandrick

144
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: is absolutely that the same thing. Yeah it's two day.

145
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean like he's better, but maybe not ready. Yeah,

146
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: the young the young defensive backs have you know. And

147
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: this this is an interesting thought too. I wonder if

148
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: Scandrick you know, and I shouldn't say this, but because

149
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: it's always considered like a bad thing, but if you

150
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: think about Scandrick is one of those guys that he

151
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: understands his body and stuff like that, and he's like, hey,

152
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: if they're gonna play young guys, I'm gonna take care

153
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: of myself. I'm not gonna go out there and you know,

154
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: have to do anything extra, you know. I mean that

155
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: just seems that that's that's probably that's probably wrong on

156
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: my my thinking, but you know, you kind of wonder,

157
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: you see the Hey, if they're gonna play young guys

158
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna protect myself. If they're if they're not

159
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: interested in moving forward with me again, this is they're

160
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: they're kind of setting things up for all these young

161
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: guys playing, and hey, what how much money do we

162
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: have to spend in all that? And it could be

163
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: a his situation, say well, maybe I need another game

164
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: or two to be fully healthy. What did he What

165
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: did he say on Butler? Did he say? Not much?

166
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like he was going to do much again. Yeah,

167
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I was talking to him yesterday in the

168
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: locker room, and it sounded like the soreness in his

169
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: foot was caused by the shot, Like the point where

170
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: they entered the needle. It was that's what was sore

171
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: and bothering him, he said the most. So I was

172
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: thinking maybe he'd be maybe I gotta confuse over that. No,

173
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: I think I think he said it right, but he didn't.

174
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: He didn't act like, yoh yeah, I'm going out and practicing.

175
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: He was still saying it was sore. And he said

176
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: it was sore from taking the shot on Scandrick. Brian,

177
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were healthy. They need him and

178
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: he played yeah, And I mean, but they're also this

179
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: is an offense that you've we talked about Derek Carr

180
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: and take over a football game, but this I also

181
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: look at the situation, so we know what Orlando Scandrick is.

182
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: He could be a very good player for you, and

183
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: he could also he understands exactly the business side of it.

184
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: He probably in that locker room understands business more than

185
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: anybody in that room. And if he said, you just think, Okay,

186
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: they're so happy about these young guys, and you know what,

187
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna protect myself a little bit. I'm not gonna

188
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: put any bad tape out there. We've heard veteran guys

189
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: say that before, you know. But it wouldn't surprise me.

190
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me that he would say. He would say,

191
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: the attitude is okay, go play with those young guys,

192
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: and I'll give myself another week to get healthy and

193
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: then if i'm you know, then we'll see how things go. Yeah. Yeah,

194
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: well he may not have another week to get healthy. Yeah,

195
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: because if they lose, that's yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

196
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: It's all they lose. It's all the young guys just

197
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: go sit. Yeah, that laying the young guy. That's that's

198
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: but see, that's that's you know. That's to me. I

199
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: what Scandrick's contract currently. I get confused because it gets

200
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: readjusted like he got extended in the summer of it.

201
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's one of those fifteen. I don't

202
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: think it's one of those things where again you you

203
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: kind of look at it, and he's done a really

204
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: smart thing because he's never he's made money without really

205
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: making money. He's always kind of kept himself paid, but

206
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: not to the point where you say, gosh, he's making

207
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: nine million dollars or ten million dollars, making ten million

208
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: a year a twenty nineteen four million dollars year in

209
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, yeah, yeah, so one year left, yeah, or

210
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: two years left, yeah, next year in twenty nineteen, two years.

211
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying, he kind of keeps himself paid

212
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: without being overpaid to making somebody think but they're clearly

213
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: are going with a young group out there. I mean

214
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: that now a lot because of his injury, right, But

215
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: you're also thinking, though we've all kind of said, well,

216
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: Romo missed one game, and every David Carr missed one game.

217
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: And again it's a position where you're having to tackle

218
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: and do all those things and cover and twist and

219
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: move and you know, but but he but he got

220
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: his he got some money up front, right, So I

221
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: don't know if what Kent said is his base salary

222
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen because he got that, Remember he was

223
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: holding out, Sure, advanced. Sure. Yeah, like he did the

224
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: cash like, oh, I'm not getting paid enough. Yeah, it's

225
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: according to spotrack is it's five years, nineteen million with

226
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: a three million dollars signing bonus average of three point

227
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: eight over the course of the contract. Okay, So to

228
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: me that he just seems he's a businessman. He understands

229
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: us and I hate to say, a businessman in a

230
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: game where you need all hands on deck. Yeah, that's

231
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: got my finger. That that kind of that's that's a thought,

232
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: you know, if you're if you're all hands on deck

233
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: and we've got to get in the playoffs and all that. Okay,

234
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: well they still want to play a young guys. Well,

235
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: I'll take my time, you know, I'll you know, I'll

236
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: do what I have to do. It's had big time

237
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: injuries before, and he knows he's played with hand injuries

238
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: and all kinds of stuff he has. Yeah, you know,

239
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: but this is again a lot of young guys playing

240
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: in these games. A lot of young guys there certainly are.

241
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: So we'll look to see what the practice report says

242
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: this afternoon. Of course, Rob, yesterday you were out there

243
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: in Los Callinas. Let's hear it. Let's hear the report

244
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: of what you saw at owners meeting a little four seasons.

245
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: It was nice out there. It's a beautiful place, and

246
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 1: it starts for the media. Yeah, it was great. A

247
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: membership here real soon. I don't know about that. I

248
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: hope kind and yes, yes, and uh. And Jerry Jones

249
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: and Roger Goodell were very cordial and professional around each other.

250
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: They had back to back press conferences. Actually they just

251
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: decided NFL decided the best way to handle it because

252
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: both media wanted to talk to both of them. Line

253
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 1: them up. Goodell speaks first at the podium, Jerry's off

254
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: to the side waiting to speak. They hug as they're

255
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: changing sides, and Jerry gets up there and speaks as well.

256
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: A full hug, A full hug. Yes. So it was

257
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: a it was a united front presented. I think. You know,

258
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: there's obviously been some some pushback and some disagreements on um,

259
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, the status of Goodell's contract, and Jerry has been,

260
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, very pragmatic and explaining, like we've talked about

261
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: it on the show, he's got he had eighteen months

262
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: left on his deal. Let's let's tackle some of the

263
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: issues with the league and then address his contract, but

264
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: it got pushed through. He's gonna make a lot of money, Uh,

265
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: the commissioner Goodell is. But what we learned is it's

266
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: it's largely incentive based and it's and it's going to

267
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: be and it's going to be based on you know,

268
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: committee of owners deciding subjectively as he met these incentives

269
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: based on his performance as commissioner. And that's something Jerry

270
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: spoke to as well as Uh he spoke of constitutional

271
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: changes to the NFL, and I think that relates to

272
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: the compensation committee and how that's comprised of, you know,

273
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: dealing with these types of issues financially with the commissioner involved.

274
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: So are some of these incentives that I'm not sure

275
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: specifically what. I'm sure there's different. There's so many aspects

276
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: to the job. Um, I'm sure it has a lot

277
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: to do with revenue ratings things of that nature. Um.

278
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: So you know, Jerry has talked about there needs to

279
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: be some change, and what he spoke to was he said,

280
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: I hope Roger earns every dime, but we've got to

281
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: look at how we do things at the at the

282
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: league level. It's absolutely right, absolutely yeah. I mean, anyone

283
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: can just so. So. Yeah, And the curious thing to

284
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: me about the whole thing is we didn't learn about

285
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: these incentives till like last week, right, Everything else leaked

286
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: out about what he wanted in the contract, but that

287
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: stuff didn't leak out. So my, my, I wonder did

288
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: they change courses there before they gave him the final

289
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: contract because Jerry balked, Well, he wanted to make very

290
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: clear Jerry did that it's not just his effort to

291
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: get that done. It takes an owner's majority vote to

292
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: have something like that go through. Yeah, but it sounded

293
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: like all the sheep were following, you know, the leader,

294
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: and no one was balking at the thing. Now all

295
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Oh, we all decided that there was

296
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: going to be incentives in this thing. And you know,

297
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: I think that's a key thing. The thing I didn't

298
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: like was the fact that he's already said that at

299
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: the end of this contract, I'm retiring. Yeah. Well, he

300
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: got asset up at the podium and he said, I

301
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: haven't made any determination that then why his spokesman Joe

302
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: Lockhart say this is his last deal. I thought how

303
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: I read it was that he thought it was his

304
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: last deal, like he wasn't no, Mickey's right. Lockhart basically

305
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: said he was done after this deal. How old he'll

306
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: be sixty four at the end of the five years. Look, yeah,

307
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: but what worries me is when people start thinking about retiring,

308
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: they may have already retired. Bill Parcels used to say

309
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: that all the time. Yeah. But at the same time, Mick,

310
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: if you're talking ninety percent performance based, he's got to

311
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: earn what he wants. He's got already he has, I

312
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: know he has. That just concerns me, That's all. The

313
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: other thing that one more thing that came up was

314
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: specific kind of to the Cowboys was Jerry was asked, Okay,

315
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about potential adjustments to the power of the

316
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: commissioner and how does that relate to potentially play or

317
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: discipline in those matters? And Jerry didn't want to get

318
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: into SPI civics there, but he again kind of reiterated

319
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: it's something we need to look at in terms of

320
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: how I mean. One follow up question was about should

321
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: they get out of the investigation business together? You know,

322
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: so that that came up as well, but there was

323
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: the answer to that, Well, I think Jerry didn't want

324
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: to say, oh, they asked Jerry, asked Jerry. They didn't

325
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: ask Goodell, right right. I think Jerry's response was, you know,

326
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: that's out of my jurisdiction. I guess just me speaking personally,

327
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: But obviously Jerry's felt like from Zeke perspective, it's something

328
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: they have to look at going forward in the league.

329
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: So what did what did they accomplish at this meeting?

330
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: Because I'm they didn't fly thirty two thirty one owners

331
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: here to say, okay, Jerry and Roger are good? Did

332
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: they did they achieve something? I think come to any

333
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: I think this was a I think this was a

334
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: one voice meeting and meaning all thirty two had the

335
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to say whatever they wanted to say, right. I

336
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: think this was really one of those meetings where they said, listen,

337
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of things being kind of banded

338
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: abound around in the media. Let's talk about this. I

339
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: think every owner had the opportunity to stand up forward.

340
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: In Detroit, Casky, in Chicago, mister Jones and Dallas mister

341
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: Blank in Atlanta, everybody got to say what they wanted

342
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: to say. And I think that's what it was. I

343
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: think this was kind of an agenda forming meeting. So

344
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: this was a special meeting. This wasn't something I think

345
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: something I think they called a winter meeting. But I

346
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: believe Jerry Jones requested this meeting with the other owners,

347
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: and I think the league allowed it to happen. And

348
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: it was again one voice and well, and everybody gets

349
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: to have their second ye like yeah, like Arthur, you

350
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: need to go shake hands with Jerry Jones right now

351
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: because it's yeah, yeah, we're gonna have you, you know,

352
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: and and and and some of those owners, Clark Hunt

353
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: in Kansas City could have said, my father would have

354
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: not approved of the way this compensation package is going

355
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: right now, and I don't like it myself. You know,

356
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: that's the opportunity you have. Thank you, mister Hunt for

357
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: the chiefs, you know, mister Davis in you know Oakland,

358
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: wherever they're at. Yeah, well Vegas, they're gonna be a

359
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: good Vegas team'll be a great Veggas team, and we're

360
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: all gonna get to go. I'd be fun. But the

361
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: thing the thing about it is, I think that's what

362
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: they accomplished, Mickey. I think every owner had an opportunity

363
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: to say their piece before this because there's been a

364
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: lot of you know, let's say, let's be honest, the

365
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: Van Adder story that's come out, there's been somebody was

366
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: in talking, you know, talking and giving information at what

367
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: was being said. Owners on phone, owners not doing you know,

368
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of that going on, reports of confidential

369
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 1: memos and resolutions, and none of those things said anything

370
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: in there about incentives in a contract. Did it draw

371
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 1: the line somewhere here? Let's draw the line. Why are

372
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: we you know, miss McCaskey, why you know, why are

373
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: we having these problems? What are you guys doing over there?

374
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: You know, everybody got a chance to say on their

375
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: behalf what they wanted to say. See, I think one

376
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: of the problems a lot of these owners have is

377
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: it's not like, you know, Roger Goodell's the end all

378
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: of commissioners, right, like they can't find another guy. But

379
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: I think they a lot of those guys, even though

380
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: they're great in this man and we like Jerry, have

381
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: problems with dealing with ambiguity, like, oh well, what if

382
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: we get rid of Roger, who's the next guy? And

383
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: Jerry relishes that right, But a lot of guys just

384
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: want to say, hey, I know this. I'm not I'm

385
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 1: scared of changing. Let's be honest here. You know, a

386
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: lot of the ownership is older folks. You know a

387
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: lot of older folks. The next time the commissionership comes up,

388
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: a lot of these old guard are no longer going

389
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: to be with us, God will them. They all are.

390
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: But let's be you know, that's that's they're gonna Maybe

391
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for these owners to say, this

392
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: is my last one. Okay, this is what I think.

393
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: Let me put this, let me let me go on

394
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: record here as I'm eighty three years old. Absolutely, you know, well,

00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: so let's look at Sean Lee versus Marshawn Lynch. Of course,

457
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: everyone loves to talk about Marshawn Lynch and he he

458
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: doesn't love to talk as much. No, but what do

459
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: you think about this? Are you thinking about that? When

460
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: can your linebacker make enough tackles in the hole. You

461
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: can make enough tackles in the hole if the guys

462
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: up front do their job. Yeah, I thought the guys

463
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: up front did a better job this past week than

464
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: I think we've seen for a couple of weeks. Ye,

465
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 1: so uh yeah, I mean Sean Lee. I'll have him

466
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: lined up. It's just a matter of where dude's running,

467
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, as you running straight up the middle, Anthony Hitchins,

468
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: We've seen all these cutback things that hit. Yeah, watch

469
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders play. You just don't want to overpursue. Don't

470
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: be too aggressive getting front side. There's something coming back door.

471
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: Be ready, and Micky's right, you know, if you don't

472
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: have keep an eye on Crawford, you know, on that backside.

473
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: If that ball starts the right and all of a

474
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: sudden bends back, you better have Sean Lee there. You

475
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: better have You know, Sean Lee will be there. You

476
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: just hope that helpe the Tyran Crofts over there too,

477
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: and you hope anybody else that comes from that side

478
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: over there, one of those young corners comes flying in

479
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: to help with that run game as well. And I

480
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: hope he's well enough to play. I know he's not

481
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: on the injury report, but that hip pointer that he

482
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: got in the game still pretty painful if you've watched

483
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: him walking through the locker room. So he kind of

484
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: played through that and is obviously practicing through it. But

485
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: that'll that'll be real important because the other guys that

486
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: can play that defensive end spot, they're not really run stoppers.

487
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: Although I did see Mayo of finally makes some tackles

488
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: on that backside cut, so I don't know if he's

489
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: getting or not, but that's gonna be for bricks in

490
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: his pocket there. May You know, of course the Cowboys

491
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: got him from the Raiders. Maybe he'll feel a little

492
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: revenge game. You know, Alfred Morris always does really well

493
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: against the Redskins. Yeah, maybe we could see the same

494
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: from Mayo. Absolutely, Ever, it takes whatever it takes, all right,

495
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: rob Lyle Collins VERSU Khalil Mac. You've talked about this

496
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: at exhaust but let's really dive into it. Who could

497
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: really come down and win this matchup? Uh? You know

498
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: how many snaps did he get against Mac in preseason? Maybe? Yeah,

499
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, it was sure, and that was

500
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: a good That was kind of the first indication we saw,

501
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 1: Okay against a really good player, how can he handle him?

502
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: Mac is just so elite at being able to capture

503
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: the edge and get to the quarterback. I would impress

504
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: me the most about like all these last couple of games,

505
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: is they haven't given him a ton of help. You

506
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: know they have not. They've left him out against Ryan

507
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: Kerrigan and uh jpp vernon those guys. So do you

508
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: give him a little bit of help or do you

509
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: trust him? I think you reached a point now or

510
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: you can trust him. I think is especially you know,

511
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: if he's feeling better physically and you're able to practice

512
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: this week, we'll see. I think what he's just got

513
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: to continue to do is trust his technique and not

514
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: be overaggressive and and have that kind of guard mentality

515
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: where you're on guys quickly and maybe you have lapses

516
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: in your technique, but the keeping Dak upright on that

517
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: side of the football is maybe d key matchup of

518
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: the game. I'll tell you what, Rob nailed this thing.

519
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: He's got it right. And the thing about you have

520
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: to be a little bit a little bit worried about, though,

521
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: is him taking over that game, him getting you know

522
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: him Also, we saw what happened in Atlanta game when

523
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: when a defensive end takes over the game. But I expect,

524
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: like you know, you haven't given him much help, but

525
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: I still think you're gonna see some twelve personnels, some

526
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: thirteen personnel stuff. I think you're gonna still see some

527
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: chip too. I just don't feel as much as you

528
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: want to put Lyle Collins over there and say go

529
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: to it, big fella. I think they'll be a little help.

530
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: Maybe not a lot, but I think that the hint

531
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: of it. They don't want to get caught in a

532
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 1: game like they did in Atlanta and not have an

533
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: answer and a plan. Oh, no doubt. Guys. Another guy

534
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: we have to remember we brought him up earlier this week,

535
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: but Jared Cook, he is on the Raiders roster and

536
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: he is doing great for them. Yeah, it's being a

537
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 1: lot better for them than he even did for the Packers.

538
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: Of course, he had the game ceiling reception for Aaron

539
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: Rodgers third and twenty, never forget it. But he's got

540
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: Byron Jones this week and Byron Jones the tight end guy.

541
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: It's an interesting matchup because they're two different body styles

542
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: all the way. Yeah they are. You're get a lot

543
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of eleven personnel, so you can look very

544
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: similar to what the Cowboys do with the with the

545
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: tight end running, you know, like with Jason Witten so yeah,

546
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: Cook is you know, he's sneaky in the way he plays,

547
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: the way he gets up the field, the way he

548
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: makes catches. I want to say he's leading the rate

549
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: of the raiders and receptions if I'm not taking yes,

550
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: he is, so yeah, that that's what. Yeah, he's second.

551
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: Is he second behind behind who one behind Crabtree? Okay?

552
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: Very comparable to what the to what you know with

553
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: crab Tree and what they've done in eight catches. Yeah,

554
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: so good for them. I mean, hey, that's that's a

555
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: weapon right there. You mentioned the name Byron Jones. I

556
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: think we've seen a lot of different safety combinations. Maybe

557
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: you'll see Heath going there. Maybe you'll see you know,

558
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: maybe they'll they'll figure out if you get Anthony Brown

559
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: on the field, maybe that sends a woozy a over

560
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: in that way to take. So just kind of keep

561
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: an eye on that that position as well, and they

562
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: might you know, what they they've sometimes done has played

563
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: more dime, right, you know, either one linebacker or three

564
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: just three defensive line. There you go and beacon. When

565
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: you get a guy that can get down the field

566
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: like that, Yeah, absolutely always exciting. Bran. I was reading

567
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: about you know, the big matchup with DeMarcus Lawrence Tank.

568
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: He got surpassed last week by Chandler Jones at fourteen sacks?

569
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: Can he get back there? Going up against Marshall Newhouse.

570
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: I like that tell you're doing your homework. Marshall Newhouse

571
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: is a the of the Oakland offensive lineman. I think

572
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: he's the weak link, you know, and that means but

573
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: then again, now do you how do you help him?

574
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: What do you do? The Raiders have shown a willingness

575
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: to keep a tight end and you know, Cook is

576
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: a guy that they want to get in the route,

577
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: but they'll put somebody that side. Lynch, Marshawn Lynch is

578
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: one of those guys that before he gets in the

579
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: route every single time will chip to the side he's

580
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: going to every time. I mean he will throw a

581
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: right shoulder in there or a left shoulder. He'll do

582
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: just to try and help the guy. But this is

583
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: I just don't think the Raiders can allow. Now, the

584
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Raiders haven't given up a bunch of sacks. But but

585
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: that's that's where if there, if there's gonna be a

586
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: pressure point, I think it's over Marshall Newhouse at that

587
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: right tackle. But again, keep an eye on some help

588
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 1: over their chip. Help. Let's see if if if Laurens

589
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: can get him on the move. I keep saying the

590
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: word get him on the move. That's where you're going

591
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: to take advantage of these guys. Absolutely, Rob, you're excited

592
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: to see that. Yeah, you said it, like, get him

593
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: moving latterly, don't you know? Yeah, make him, make him

594
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: chase basically, yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Yeah. When we were talking earlier,

595
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: Jared Cook actually is the receiving leader for yards for

596
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders. That six D twenty one he's been burgett.

597
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: He had a long thirty five yard pass. Yeah, so

598
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: that the other day by a tight end catching a

599
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: thirty five yard pass. Oh, you never know when these guys. Okay,

600
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: so we all wanted to see it last week and

601
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: we got to see a little bit. But Dez Bryant

602
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: has another interesting matchup this week with t J Kerrey.

603
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: Is he able to handle this one and will he

604
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: be able to have an explosive, explosive game. Yeah, carry

605
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: will play in the slot on you sometime tape and

606
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: then and then you get Dexter McDonald and then also

607
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: Sean Smith would be involved there. I think the Raiders

608
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: have had their problems this year because of their secondary

609
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, they were you know, they were trying to

610
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 1: get you know, Conley was involved. They drafted, they wanted him.

611
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: He's on IR Now they're you know, they're struggling with that.

612
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: Uh you know. But Smith, I think is the better

613
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: of the covers. When you talk about Carry, when you

614
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: talk about McDonald, Smith is the one guy in Kansas City,

615
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: a little bit better of a press man, can kind

616
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: of stay with you. But could be the Cowboys. I

617
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: like what they're gonna do. I think that if you

618
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: want to look at two guys to have a good game,

619
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: des Bryant certainly could have a good game. Keep an

620
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: eye on Cole Beasley in this game too, out of

621
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: the slot. Let's see, let's see if he can win,

622
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: because if Carry kicks into the slot. I kind of

623
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 1: like that matchup for the for the Cowboys right there.

624
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: I always like Cole matched up when he's got one

625
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: guy to beat the big play down the field. He

626
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: had to make one little move to the outside and

627
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: there he goes. He's off to the races. It's just guys,

628
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: he's been bracketed a ton, and when he's not been

629
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: bragging they've they've made sure they've had an elite cover

630
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: guy or one of their top guys whoever a team

631
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: it is, on him. So we'll see, we'll see how

632
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: they defend him. Yeah, let's go to the phone lines.

633
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: We have Philip from Tennessee. What is your question? Yes,

634
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: I was wanting to ask. In order to have a

635
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: little bit more firepower on the offense, do you think

636
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: it is possible that they might consider once Ze come back,

637
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: putting him on one side of the offense in the

638
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: slot and taking Rod Smith and putting him on the

639
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: other side. Having two tackle breaking running backs that are

640
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: very quick in space, letting them have the ball in

641
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: their hands to see what they can do it like

642
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: they did in this last game they use Rod Smith

643
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, I'm just curious what they put him

644
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: on the field. At the same time, what do you think?

645
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for interesting look at it. Everyone's excited to see

646
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: Ize Gelly come back and Rod Smith is still having

647
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: the production he is. There will be discussion, well toay,

648
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: we've kind of flipped around on what we'd like to see.

649
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: You know, Mickey was talking about the toys and you

650
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: can't get all the toys on the field. And you

651
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: know the caller by the way, I love his voice,

652
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: but great voice, a great voice radio voice, for sure,

653
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: but I love the you know, we talk about this,

654
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: how do you get, guys, how do you get? I

655
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 1: think when you see Zeke get back, it's Zeke gets back.

656
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Zeke running in the football. It's gonna

657
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: be Zeke running the screen. It's gonna be maybe Zeke

658
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: on some of those plays. But to try and put

659
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: him and Smith on the field at the same time,

660
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to get Beasley and Switzer on the

661
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: field at the same time, you know, I mean and

662
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: that that that's just it seems like that the coaches

663
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: have their plans, have their ideas. Now maybe depending again

664
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: what's happening with with Bryce Butler. That takes a guy

665
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: out of the situation. Again, who are you going to

666
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: take off the field when you do those kinds of things.

667
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: I know they don't want to take Witton off the field.

668
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's great to come up with some ideas,

669
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: but they they're struggling with the guys that they actually

670
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: have right now to create stuff with. Well, if you're

671
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: going empty, yeah, and Butler's not there. I'd rather see

672
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: Switzer on the field absolutely than Noah Brown. Yeah, that's

673
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: that's fair. I just think you've got better a route

674
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: runner and yeah, guys kind of mess around in the

675
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: slot there then a you know, kind of a bigger

676
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver on the outside who's probably not going to

677
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: get down the field. See that's what I'm saying. Though,

678
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: if you think about the way that Dak throws the

679
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: football to underneath the intermediate stuff. We always talk about

680
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: him from one to five yards being like an eighty

681
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: percent passer. If you do get the ball, We've seen

682
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: what you could do with even though that that Beasley

683
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: hasn't got off a long run. He got one the

684
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: other day. But you know, you want to do that,

685
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: you want to We've seen Switzer run the ball as

686
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: a punt return a kick returner. Why not throw him

687
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: the ball, get it in his hands, get him his hands.

688
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it is that play better than trying to

689
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: throw a fifty fifty ball to Bryce Butler or throw

690
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty ball to Norah Brown. I think Mickey

691
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: makes a good point by that, you know, And the

692
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: other thing is, how are they going to do they

693
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: think they have a corner that can play man on

694
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant. Because if we're gonna be realistic, the reason

695
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: rod Smith did what he did on the eighty one

696
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: yard catch and run was they were Dublin Devils and

697
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,959
Speaker 1: there was no safety in the middle of the field.

698
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 1: Those safeties double to the outside. Like when everybody asked

699
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: that question about well can this guy you know, can

700
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: Dez do this? Or well does the other team want

701
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: to take the chance of dezing this? They left the

702
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: guy one on one with rod Smith. And again I

703
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: see the caller's point about trying to get him the

704
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: football in his hands. That was a good That was

705
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: just a great design, great advantage and Dak give him

706
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: credit for the read, but and a great adjustment by

707
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: Dak to get him out there. Him out there, and

708
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was the play design. He

709
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: walk saw it and he said, hey, walk him go

710
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: over there and just a lot walk him over there

711
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: and then run the run. I can see they were

712
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: doubling dead absolutely they knew that. Yeah, him and Beasley

713
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: were getting the deal. That's why those things, you know,

714
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: get lost, is like, okay, are they doubling him and

715
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: and and a lot of times it's not a true double.

716
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: It's like they'll leave the linebacker out there so he

717
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: can't run a slant. Right, So now you've got one

718
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: route third and five. You don't want Dez Bryant running

719
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: a slant if you're defend defender, you just don't. And

720
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: then Spagnola tried to take that away. What were you

721
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: going to say, Well, he mentioned Zeke coming back, and

722
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: you said when he comes back in he's going to

723
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: be involved in the running game, pass game. Obviously, I

724
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: am curious though, and I guess we're just not going

725
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: to know till he gets back here and gets back

726
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: into practice. Is he can you pencil him in for

727
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: fifty five snaps? Fifty snaps after missing six games. I

728
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: guess we'll have to wait and see. This is sure

729
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: you prefer that, Yeah, you're the coaching staff. This is this.

730
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: I hate, I hate to be this guy, but but

731
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: we're to the point where it doesn't matter. You gotta go. Yeah,

732
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: the time to load the wagon has We're on the

733
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: we're on the Oregon trail right now. We're trying to

734
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: avoid the plague and all the India ends and everybody else.

735
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: I mean, what happens if he if he gets tired

736
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: and gets hurt. Okay, now he's gonna miss one game. Yeah,

737
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: I know, I just it's just no, no, I understand

738
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: about And you haven't seen him, and you haven't had

739
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: comack with you, right, you know, your your point is,

740
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: your point is well taken. But I'm to the point

741
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: now where we're past. We're past that worried about health.

742
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: It's now about we gotta go win football games. Yeah,

743
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: We've got to find a way. And your hope, your

744
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: hope is that he comes back a piste off football

745
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: player and you're playing for something and he can show

746
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: you that against Seattle and all of a sudden he

747
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: has a thirty one carry game for one hundred and

748
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: eighty three yards and you're leaving at and T Stadium

749
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: with a chance to go to Philadelphia and get in

750
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: this thing. We can expect to see him here on Tuesday, Monday,

751
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: well Monday, but yeah they're not. They don't. Yeah, they

752
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: don't unless you see him in the dining hall, yeah, Monday. Yeah,

753
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: you'll hear him before you see him. I bet you'll

754
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: see him running by. Yeah, you know, and it won't snap.

755
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: First game that's the problem because he'll have the freshest

756
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: legs of Anybody'll hell, it'll be it'll be good to go.

757
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: It'll be the second game when he's beat up after noting.

758
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,400

816
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,360

819
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: you have Papa John's for the owner's meeting. Yeah. Before

820
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: we get to Rob's twitter poll, we have to get

821
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: to the Oakland Raiders injury report because it's pretty full

822
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: if you guys have looked at it. Of course it's

823
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: not too many guys that you're really too concerned with,

824
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: but some of these guys had a lot of them

825
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: had veterans days yesterday. Yeah, you know Bruce ervin Kelomac.

826
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: They were on there for not injury related assuming that's

827
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: just a veteran day sure for them, especially at this

828
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: time in this season. But you know, we've talked about

829
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper bean in and out. He was DMP yesterday.

830
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: Looked GEMPI watching the Kansas City tape. Did he really?

831
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: He did? He sure did. Tried to play, couldn't play,

832
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: tried to play, couldn't play. You know, it was pretty

833
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: pretty painful to watch and play. No catches that game,

834
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: by the way. Yeah, and Jared Cook, the guy that

835
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: we just talked about, he was limited with the wrist.

836
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: So they've got key injuries and you know you have

837
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: to look at those throughout this week because whoever will

838
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: be playing, they have to go there full yes, and

839
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: then I have football. But Rob will get to your

840
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: Twitter pool. All right. We were talking about first segment,

841
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: the rookie DBS on this Cowboys defense. Yes, playing a lot,

842
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: playing a lot of snaps, playing well, still needs some

843
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: more's experience, need, still needs some improvement, but doing a

844
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: good job. Which of the three has the most upside?

845
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: Do you feel like Cheeto, Jordan Lewis or Xavier Woods?

846
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: Do you vote in this Movi? I did vote? Did

847
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: you write in one? I took the second round pick?

848
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: Oh you went with the easy one? Huh? Lewis a

849
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: full off season the second round pick. Yeah. Yeah. Lewis

850
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: was third, his third round pick could have been a

851
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 1: season first second. Basically could have been a second. Xavier

852
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: Woods was a six round pick, could have been a

853
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: third round pick honestly based on on talent. Okay, why

854
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: do you say Cheeto Mick? Because I just think he's

855
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: really good, Okay, and I think at his upside starts

856
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: at a higher level than the other guys. So I'm

857
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: going I think he's the real deal, real deal yep,

858
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: like pro Bowl style one day at some point. Okay,

859
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: he's had a hard season. I mean he's played through injuries,

860
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: He's had to miss a lot of time, you know,

861
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: training camp. I would love to see Cheeto just have

862
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: a full season because you know, I think he is

863
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: very versatile. That was a big key. We were listening

864
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: to some of the scouts talk about some of the

865
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: bowl games they're going to go to, right and some

866
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: of them you hear the name and you're like, that

867
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a very good bowl. And I was

868
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: bringing it up to one and he goes, well, I

869
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: saw Cheeto there last year, so that was a big

870
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: Bowl game for the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah. So well, I

871
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: like what Mickey saying about Cheeto and and and you

872
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: know what's funny when when I sat down and put

873
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: together a board for the draft that we did for

874
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: one oh five three and Jeff Kavanaugh, Kevin turn and

875
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: I we had we had a Woozier higher than Lewis

876
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: on our board, and but we had them both in

877
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: the second round. But the way we slotted him. A

878
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: Woozier was above Lewis. And you know, it's funny when

879
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: you talk to the scouts again, like Taylor was saying,

880
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: they they think that Lewis is the one that's got

881
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 1: the most upside, but the one that's that is again,

882
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: how he's caught my eye in the coverage, the mobility,

883
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: the tackling, the positioning, A Woozier looks like to me,

884
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: he's got the build for it, he's got the temperament

885
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: for it, you know, and that that that makes you

886
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: feel like that going. But I Jordan Lewis played well

887
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: the other day. Jordan Lewis didn't look grabby, holdy, all

888
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: those things that we've kind of see where you know

889
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: he's had some issues. He didn't look that way. So

890
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: I but I'm gonna go with Mickey on this one.

891
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: I think the guy that's got the most the most upside.

892
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: And not to say that Louis is not going to

893
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: be good, but I think the guy that it's all

894
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: said and done, will be uh will be uh will

895
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: be cheeto hey in agreement, I gotta go Lewis on

896
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: this one. Nice. I want I'm curious to see what

897
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: the fan said they picked Cheeto. Fifty seven percent said Cheeto.

898
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: And you know he's got more physically, he's he's he's

899
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: built to you know, he's a bigger corner. He can

900
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: handle some of the bigger receivers in the league, so

901
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: he's got that advantage. Jordan Lewis got thirty two percent

902
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,919
Speaker 1: of the vote, followed by Xavier Woods. So yeah, maybe

903
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: that was a predictable poll. I don't know, but all

904
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: three you're playing well, and all three of them you

905
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: can see a role for them going forward. Cheeto, by

906
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: the way, he's going home this weekend. He's from San Jose,

907
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: so he's got a lot of family out there. Uh

908
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: they're either he said, they're either Raiders or forty nine

909
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: Ers fans, but they got a root for me. On Sunday,

910
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: who who went to Who had the hometown game? Oh gosh,

911
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: it was it was Chad's Green Atlanta right, Oh yeah,

912
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: but he had like sixty something people. Oh that's right. Yeah,

913
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: that was like a Florida everybody got to go see Chads.

914
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: He makes the start. Well, I told you Landstone Bar

915
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: that one. He returns to New Orleans and they got

916
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: blown up. Yeah, poor guy. Bless him, you know, as

917
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: acl let me ask you this, do you think that

918
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: people vote come on? Wing returned to Colorado? No, he

919
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: got injured. Well, let me ask you this though, when

920
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: when you when you think about when you think about

921
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 1: with the Woozier and Lewis, do you think it's fans

922
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: have seen Lewis play a much more And that's kind

923
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: of kind of swaying them to why they're thinking the

924
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: way they are. What game did Cheeto come back and start?

925
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: Was it two games ago? Washington? Wasn't it? He was

926
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: so physical and productive in that game, I think, and

927
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: it's a smaller sample size, but I think fans saw

928
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: that and like, Wow, this guy makes plays on the ball,

929
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: he's aggressive, he's in position and so Yeah, but yeah,

930
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: they haven't seen as much of him as they have

931
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: from Lewis. Yeah, I mean, I'm wondering if they voted

932
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: voted for Cheeto just because they haven't seen as much

933
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: from him. And then we haven't seen the mistakes and

934
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: I mean we've we've seen we've seen Lewis play since Denver. Yeah,

935
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 1: right about him. Yeah, he's been playing all the games.

936
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean they throw him out there. We've seen the good,

937
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: we've seen the bad. I wonder if fans are just

938
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: kind of like thinking, we haven't seen that yet from

939
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: we haven't seen that from a Woozier, so maybe it

940
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: would have been a closer, you know, closer vote. It's

941
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: like you said, in terms of pre draft rankings, they

942
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: were right there. I mean, it's not like it's a

943
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: clear cut Okay, who was higher rated coming out of

944
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: the draft. They're both in that second round range. Yeah,

945
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: let's go to the phone lines. We have, Layman. I

946
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: hope I said that right from DC. You can totally

947
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: correct me. It's lamon. Hey, I bet you you've had

948
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: to deal with that for a long time. Always, always.

949
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: I think you guys are onto something about the young cornerbacks.

950
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: I think Woozy a little bit more physical. Um, it

951
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: has the swagger. I think Lewis definitely has the swagger.

952
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: I just think it needs to develop just a little

953
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: bit more physicality, and I think He'll had the potential

954
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,439
Speaker 1: to be a lockdown corner I think we got something

955
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: going great with these two young corners. But um, do

956
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: you think the narrative about Dak not being able to

957
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: win without Zeke? Uh, it's losing steam. We don't. We

958
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: don't seeing him wins back to back games, and UM,

959
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't think there is um is over the hill,

960
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: I think, Um, I just think him and Dak having

961
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: been able to get get on the same page. And

962
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of frustrating once once you once you finally

963
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: get the ball and you're trying to make a play,

964
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: it's frustration that sets saying then he end up just

965
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: like on Sunday, losing the ball on the deep, on

966
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: the on the deep, on the deep throw. You know,

967
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: it gets frustrating at the while after not getting in

968
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: the ball, But um, what do you guys think? Thank you?

969
00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: Thanks on You know what? Dak evidently told Dez the

970
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: same thing he told Beasley in that game when Beasley

971
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: dropped the ball. Yeah. And when I was talking to

972
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: Beasley about the drop, he goes, yeah, but you know

973
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: what the good thing was, He goes, I came back

974
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: to the huddle and I was apologizing and Dak told

975
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: me I won't apologize. He goes, I've missed you on passes. Sure.

976
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: Evidently he told Dez the same thing. Sure, forget about it,

977
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: he said. He kept coming back to the huddle and

978
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 1: bringing it up and it's like, quit talking about it. Yeah, sure,

979
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: I've thrown you a bad pass before, So let's let's go.

980
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: Let's go make a play. And that's a good thing

981
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: about Dak. He's he's mature beyond his years, and he

982
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: doesn't make excuses or let other people take the fall

983
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: for his play, even though sometimes they should. He falls

984
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: on his sword, and that's what a quarterback I have

985
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: to do. I have always been impressed. And I know

986
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: you guys are scrammling to get out of a stadium

987
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: or scrambling to get out of a locker room, but

988
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: we sit there and get the post game, you know.

989
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: With Dak, and there's been some games where he stood

990
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 1: up there where it could have been forty five other

991
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: guys standing behind him, saying that was me, that was me.

992
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: He every single time. And I've told this to Nate Newton.

993
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 1: I said, Hey, the most admirable thing about that young

994
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: man is did he's willing to stand up there and

995
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: take the blame when again, forty five other guys could

996
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: have just as easily were just as bad as he was.

997
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: So is it easy to see why a locker room

998
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: got behind a rookie quarterback? Absolutely? You could. And I'm

999
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: I was a Romo fan. I mean I was a

1000
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: big I wanted to see Romo play. I love Tony Romo.

1001
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: I was he was part of my life. He you

1002
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: know that. Those all really great things. But I do

1003
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: admire Dak Prescott. I do. I admire him from what

1004
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: he did at Mississippi State against my alma mater. I

1005
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: saw him do that. The biggest thing you could say

1006
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: about Dak Prescott and how much talent he has is

1007
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: when scouts went back to Mississippi State after he left

1008
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: and they thought, well, hey, this is a ten win team,

1009
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: and they went back in the talent was really a

1010
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: five win team or a six win team. That's what

1011
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: he was able to bring to your team. And then

1012
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: Scott's like, well, where's all the talent? You guys win

1013
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: ten games last year? You know, Dan Mullen's like, the

1014
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: talent's over at the Cowboys right now. You know, that's

1015
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: the type of guy you have, and you know I

1016
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: respect him for that because it's not always perfect for him.

1017
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: He's not a perfect quarterback. He's not going to make you.

1018
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: He's not a Drew Breese, he's not Aaron Rodgers. But

1019
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: He's tough. In this day and age, you've got to

1020
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: have a tough guy. It minds me of Brett Farven

1021
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: that way, be tough, get respect from your teammates, and

1022
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: go lead. And I think that's the biggest things you

1023
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: could say about him. Yeah, I like that. You bring

1024
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: up Mississippi State, you know, when we traveled over to Starkville, Mississippi,

1025
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: that was just the first thing that ever brought up,

1026
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 1: is that everyone could follow him. Sure, you can't. He's

1027
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: easy to do. Talked about in recruiting. You know, he

1028
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: was not the most highly touted recruitable quarterback right that

1029
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: they had coming into Mississippi State. And he said that

1030
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 1: they had held a workout and all these guys were

1031
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,439
Speaker 1: following Dak. Yeah, so workout of over four hundred guys. Yeah,

1032
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: following Dak just tangibles. Just can't get him. Help, you know,

1033
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: keep getting him, help, let the line develop, you know,

1034
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: whatever you have to do at receiver, help him, help

1035
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: him that way. Did you guys see what Eric Dickerson

1036
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: said about Ezekiel Elliott. Have you seen that yet? No?

1037
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: I have not. So obviously the Cowboys are still not

1038
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: eligible to have contact with Ezekiel Elliott, but other people

1039
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: can and one of those one of those guys is

1040
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson. He has had contact with Ezekiel Elliott since

1041
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: his suspension, and he says he looks great. He said,

1042
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 1: he looks fantastic, and that Zeke has, you know, has

1043
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: this mindset that in his first game back, he's going

1044
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: to get two hundred yards. Yeah, let's hope. So let's

1045
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: hope he means something too. Yeah, you know, it's always

1046
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: it's always good to see these former players interacting with

1047
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: the current players that sometimes need help. Yep. Yeah, and

1048
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: that's that's the guy that Zeke was going after his

1049
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: rookie rushing record last year too, and could have gotten

1050
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: it maybe if you know, a couple more couple more games, um,

1051
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: a couple more two hundred yard games, Yeah, a couple

1052
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: more of those. Yeah, you know, guys gotta sit six

1053
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,879
Speaker 1: games and is still adamant I did nothing wrong. There's

1054
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: got to be major motivation coming back, especially if your

1055
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: football team. You come back, like you said, Brian, and

1056
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: you got two games to go and you might have

1057
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 1: a playoff team. Yeah, there's gotta be a huge motivation

1058
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: there on his part. He's gotta feel like he's let

1059
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: down guys like Jason Witten, and you know, then something

1060
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: that maybe even Dak maybe you know, he's felt like

1061
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,399
Speaker 1: he you know, hey, I missed I missed you guys

1062
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 1: when I needed to be here when we were playing

1063
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, you got some guys in the team,

1064
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: maybe Orlando Scandrick. There's another veteran player justin Durant. The

1065
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: guys that may not have a whole there's guy, there's

1066
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: guys without campaigns here that have not many campaigns left.

1067
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: And so to miss that part of it, you know,

1068
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: hopefully he's got that that remorse in his in his

1069
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: heart right now. Yeah. I think that goes to Lamon's

1070
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 1: question about, you know, Dak not having Zeke, the narrative

1071
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 1: that he wasn't able to do it in two games,

1072
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, two division games as well. And what's been

1073
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: the difference with what with what difference? That's the last

1074
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: two questions. Yeah, what's been the differences? It's got a

1075
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: healthy offensive line, Yeah, you've been you've been talking about that.

1076
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: You've been getting the right tackle that's played at a

1077
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: pretty nice level. You know, your left guard has not

1078
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: been been an issue. I mean, they didn't they didn't

1079
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: go five games and it's like, oh, now I know

1080
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: how to play without Zeke, Like the light just came on.

1081
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: I think if you listen carefully how he answered the

1082
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: question and how Jason answered the question, they weren't buying

1083
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: into that theory. Yeah, well yeah, there's that. I mean,

1084
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: what did he learn? What did he have to learn?

1085
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: What do you mean back? Yeah, like hit the open receiver. Yeah, seriously,

1086
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: he got sacked fourteen times in those three games that

1087
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: they lost fourteen Think about that. That was his fault

1088
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: because he didn't know how to play without Zeke. They

1089
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: got complete performances from the entire football game his last

1090
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 1: team last you got it. You got a special teams touchdown,

1091
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: you got a bunch of takeaways against Washington, and Sean

1092
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: Lee made a huge difference last week. Offense didn't give

1093
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: up thirty points. Yeah. I mean, it's it's a team game,

1094
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 1: no question, team game, all three phases. Hopefully we don't

1095
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: see any more missed extra points from Dan Bailey. No,

1096
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: don't need that. Yeah, we don't need that. You know,

1097
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: I think you're going to look at something. I think,

1098
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: no matter what, this game this weekend will be a

1099
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 1: close one because whenever you have to look at you're

1100
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: relying on your defense to shut down an offense. Always

1101
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: feels like it gets really close. Yeah, it kind of

1102
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: reminds me of the Falcons game a little bit, does Yeah,

1103
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: Because you're facing a team that was really good last year,

1104
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: that's still got a lot of talent offensively and for

1105
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: some reason they haven't been able to play well. Yeah,

1106
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: and they're trying to find an answer. And so can

1107
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: they find an answer at home? Who's had a more

1108
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: disappointing season the Dallas Cowboys are the Oakland Raiders with

1109
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: the expectations that were set from the outside perception of

1110
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: what their teams were capable of producing. Of course, you know,

1111
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: Derek Carr led them to the playoffs. Who wasn't able

1112
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: to play? Had to have on our cook step in. Yeah, yeah,

1113
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: he missed a game, right, one game? Did what do

1114
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: you think he missed the playoff game? The You know

1115
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: that what's the strangest thing right now is its six

1116
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: and seven. The Raiders are still in it's the chance

1117
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: to win the division absolutely, and then and they've got

1118
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: and they've got games against the division, they got they

1119
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: got to play. They gotta finish with the Yeah, they

1120
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: got the Eagles. Well they got the Eagles and the

1121
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: Chargers left after the Cowboys. They're one game different than

1122
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. That's what I'm saying. They're exactly the same.

1123
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 1: You can you can have the stats, look at how

1124
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: they've won in a streak and lost in a streak.

1125
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,280
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to put To answer your question,

1126
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to put the Raiders the Cowboys.

1127
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, with what we've known with the six games

1128
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 1: or hopefully will be three and three without Zeek. But

1129
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: I think that to me, Raiders, Cowboys, Tampa, with those

1130
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: teams that I was kind of expecting better, better results.

1131
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: It wasn't expecting the Saints to be division leaders right now.

1132
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I wouldn't expecting that. Had

1133
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: to answer my own question, I think I'd go with

1134
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: the Raiders on this one because I thought once Derek

1135
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: Carr was coming back. Of course, he got injured Week five.

1136
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: That never helps anyone, but I thought they were going

1137
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,720
Speaker 1: to make a real run. I thought, Okay, they're finally

1138
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: getting that confidence they've needed. They returned to the playoffs.

1139
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: It was a disappointing playoff because he had a rookie

1140
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: quarterback who never started a football game. But you had

1141
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: all the pieces, and you added more pieces. I mean, guys,

1142
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: what would you look at our d line if we

1143
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: had Bruce Irvan and Klolmack on each end? Oh sure,

1144
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: I think we'd be pretty dangerous out there. Mario Edwards

1145
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 1: is not a bad player either now, and but their

1146
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: problem has been they haven't in the game. Look at

1147
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: the scores of the games they've lost, absolutely scored like

1148
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: oh no, eight points. Yeah, point. They haven't scored more

1149
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: than seventeen points and every loss they had, all seven losses.

1150
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: Oh so yeah, their problem has been surprisingly on offense,

1151
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: or you wouldn't think get right. Yeah, it's and it's

1152
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,320
Speaker 1: very stumbling when you have something like Amara Cooper. Of

1153
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: course he's been banged up. But Marshawn Lynch, I mean,

1154
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: his yards average is very low. It's very low. I

1155
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: think it's like point two point two. Yeah for him

1156
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: for probably not that bad because he's a plugger. He's

1157
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: never going to be a guy that's gonna take off

1158
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: and hit you for eighty yards at the line of scrimmage. Yeah,

1159
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,439
Speaker 1: sometimes I look at him, but he's still got seven

1160
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: touched the fullback. He's bill like one. He is truck,

1161
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: he is he's dangerous. But you know, regardless, I think

1162
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: you're right, Brian. The Raiders are almost in a better

1163
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: spot though, just being where they are in the eighth. Well,

1164
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: they went and laid an egg at Kansas City last

1165
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: week and they had a chance to games between them,

1166
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: had a chance to bury Kansas City last week after

1167
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: all the problems they have and make them six and

1168
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: seven set of them, So they've got stuff to play for.

1169
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no question that they need to draw

1170
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: the line in the sand right now. They need they

1171
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: need a victory, and so does DAOs. Sounds like to

1172
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: speak that del Rio gave him after they blew their

1173
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: chance against the Chiefs who had lost what four straight,

1174
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: and they get beat by them like they got pummeled. Strange,

1175
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: Lady del Rio can give some good motivational Rio said,

1176
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: they need to play like their hair's on fire. Hairs

1177
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: on fire. Well, we'll have a fiery Friday show for

1178
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: you guys when you join us tomorrow, same time, same play,

1179
