Speaker 1: and uh and I like Nick's tweet bench please like

16
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: that was really? That was that? We should have used

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: that as a headline after the game. That would have

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: been pretty pretty perfect. But we're gonna break down the

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: game for you guys, tell you guys what went right

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: and if there was anything that went wrong for this team.

21
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: So let's start nick. We didn't get a chance to

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: get eighty four last week because he didn't get a

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: chance to do our show. You want to give me

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: an eighty four and eighty five real quick to get

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: us kicked off here. I always been a big fan

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: of Joey Galloway, Yeah, eighty four. I know there's some

27
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: other great tight ends, and there were eighty four, but

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: I like I like Joey Galloway myself. I love how

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: our personal things kind of filter into things sometimes. I

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: got no issues with Doug Cosby, like Cosby eighty five. Yeah.

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: Remember Ernie Mills, Yes I do, Yeah, or Arnie Mills.

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: I liked him, I did too. How long was he

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: here for? Like? Two years? Years? Noah Brown? Sorry, Dave

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: Keepson real was who's here that? Yeah? I think he's

35
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: the only guy that's warrant that I can think of

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: the whole time I've been here about Darren Chefferini, I

37
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: remember the name? I remember? Then? All right, all right,

38
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: let's get right into this. Craton was a good eighty four,

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: it was. It was one of my favorites. I like

40
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Patrick just as a person, cool guy. All right, all right,

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: let's jump right in Cowboys win fifty six fourteen. Uh,

42
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: it was a it was a game that was um,

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, just everything about it just seemed to work.

44
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: But let's start first with some storylines, big picture storylines.

45
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: What do you think coming out of that game? Games over,

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: Cowboys win fifty six fourteen. What's your first thought? Nick,

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: they get win the Super Bowl if they play like that?

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, I mean you can though, I mean,

49
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: that's that's not too far fetched. If you play like that,

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna beat any team, maybe other than the AFC

51
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl squad. I mean, that was that was an

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: absolute perfect type game. That doesn't mean they're gonna play

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: like that all the time. There's better quarterbacks, better teams,

54
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: better offense that will challenge them them. But if you're

55
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: gonna dominate on offense, defense and specialty, dominate all three.

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: This team, this is a team that can go and win,

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: win games and get into the super Bowl. That's that's

58
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: how good that they are. Well, they do it when

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: it counts the most we'll see. But man, they have

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: they put it out there. Amber it ain't that hard,

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: is it? When you have the talent exactly exactly That's

62
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: what I've been complaining about. We know the talent that's

63
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: there on offense, on defense, even special teams. They showed

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: up last night as well. Kellen Moore. We know he

65
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: has talent. So this is what I was waiting and

66
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: complaining to be to see, to see finally, and it's

67
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: not that complicated. Once they're clicking, it's freaking amazing. And

68
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: I was probably that was probably the game I've enjoyed

69
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: the most, just sitting there, I have my feet up,

70
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: my laptop on my legs, watching the game and enjoying it.

71
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: No sweating, no nothing. So I expect the Cowboys to

72
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: take this win and carry it over the next few

73
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: weeks and hopefully that's something that's that doesn't go away

74
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: with Arizona coming up next week and I know we'll

75
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: talk about it later in the week, but this is

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: a great start to end the final regular season. Dave

77
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Mbar reminds me of my dad a little bit, and

78
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: that sounds weird, but my dad is only happy if

79
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: his team is just blowing the doors off, or the

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: other days, if it's if it's remotely close. He's like,

81
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: these guys are stressing me out. I can't watch this.

82
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, you chose the wrong league to be a

83
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: fan of if that's the only way you're gonna be happy.

84
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: But you're right they I mean, that's about as perfect

85
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: as you can play a game of NFL football. And

86
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: like they've beaten down four or five teams this year,

87
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: and this still felt like it was in a different

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: stratosphere than those games just beginning to end. Ass whipping

89
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: um that you just you get. You typically get those

90
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: like once a generation in the NFL, and it's special

91
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have managed to do that a handful

92
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: of times this year. I mean that, don't take that

93
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: for granted. Knicks totally right. You had the wonderful analogy

94
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: last week or whenever it was that it was like

95
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: they were playing a guitar out of tune. Well they

96
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: tuned up, they tuned up. And yeah, I mean with

97
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: what the defense is doing. I wrote about this last night,

98
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: like whole hum, whole hum. They only had two takeaways

99
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: and still scored a defensive touchdown, So like they're still

100
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 1: doing that and the offense did what it was supposed

101
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: to do, didn't even really have to change that much.

102
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Like CD makes some tough catches instead of dropping the ball,

103
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: Dak throws some fans. He puts it on the money,

104
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: which is something he hasn't been doing is consistently. But

105
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: it was there last night. And when they play even

106
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: close to that level of potential, I just I think

107
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: they could beat anybody in the NFL. Yeah. My big

108
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: picture from that game is really just this defense is great.

109
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: They are great, and I love watching them play. I

110
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: tweeted during the game, you know, after they score the

111
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: first touchdown, I was like, all right, I don't really

112
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: need to see the offense anymore. Just put the defense

113
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: out that arrest of the game, and I just want

114
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: to see him because every play you're looking like, who's

115
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: gonna do something, Who's gonna do something? Like? They are

116
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: so much fun to watch because they have so many playmakers,

117
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: and all their playmakers are making plays all the time,

118
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: and so it's just a it's just a fun team

119
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: to watch from a defensive standpoint, and the part I

120
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: love the most about this team, and I think it

121
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: was on display last night. When the defense is clicking,

122
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 1: I think everything else will click. I think this defense

123
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: has the ability to be able to be the catalyst

124
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: for everything else. It started with that interception with Treyvon

125
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: Diggs and from there the route was on. Yeah, and

126
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: that's what I love about this defense. This has become

127
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: a defensive team and that travels in the playoffs. I

128
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: love that about this team right now. I don't think

129
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: the Covers are going to get a Defensive Player of

130
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: the Year award this year. I don't think it's going

131
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: to happen. I think they got two guys though, that

132
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: are worthy of it, that are probably gonna split some votes. Yeah,

133
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: because I think Treyvon Diggs. You know, we see what

134
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: Parsons is doing, but Diggs should get some concern iteration

135
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: as well. Um, obviously, eleven picks is amazing. Tis the

136
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys a record with Everson Walls, which I'm sure he'll

137
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: have some things to say today on mix shots about that,

138
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: but um, you know, he traveling with their best receiver.

139
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: He's taken away your best option, or at least trying

140
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: to and so that right there is helpful. And then

141
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: you're getting picks on top of it. I mean, he

142
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: should get some some votes as well. You know that

143
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: he had they had between the two games they've played

144
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: against Washington the last three weeks, there have been ten

145
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: targets to McLaren. McLaren only played the first half of

146
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: that last game. He got hurt in the first series

147
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: of the second half. But they've had ten targets him.

148
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: He's at one in one completion. I mean, yeah, exactly.

149
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: So I mean this is this is you talk about

150
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: taking the top guy, and he was doing it earlier

151
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: this season too. He was taking the top guy every

152
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: week and none of those guys were having great games.

153
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: And so people can talk about his stats and he

154
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: gives up yards and all this care The guy gets turnovers,

155
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: he makes plays. He has over twenty past defenses, which

156
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: is I think that's the first time in NFL history

157
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: someone's had eleven interceptions and twenty past defenses in the

158
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: same season. Like, he is having a remarkable season, Nick,

159
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: And but for the fact that he's overshadowed, shadowed by

160
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, I think he would be like there would

161
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: be a lot more people talking about him in that discussion.

162
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: That's insane and I agree with you, but that's insane though,

163
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: to say that he's being overshadowed by anybody because he

164
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: has a chance to tie an NFL record that has

165
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: stood since before the Super Bowl. I mean, that's the

166
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: type of territory that he's in. And it's crazy the

167
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: degree to which he's kind of been discredited, and I

168
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: think aig in my opinion, a big part of it's

169
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: just that he plays for the Cowboys. People, if you

170
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: don't love the Cowboys, you hate him and you're like, oh,

171
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: so what if he's got picks he gives up and

172
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: he's just eleven I mean eleven interceptions. I'm looking at McLaurin,

173
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: got targeted six times last night, caught it once, just

174
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: coldal on factor in that game. And I get it.

175
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: The Washington didn't really have a great quarterback situation, but

176
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's impressive. Yep, well you got

177
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: surprise they went after him that first play. Yes, yeah,

178
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,479
Speaker 1: and the way they not only did they like Washington

179
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: ran double goes Kelvin Joseph was carrying the exact same

180
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: route on the other side of the field. First NFL start,

181
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: first snap out there, at the very least, test him, Yeah, like,

182
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: test the rookie. Not the thing. It's gonna be all

183
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: pro when the season's over and you're just like, yeah,

184
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: we got this, We're gonna I'm just gonna check it out.

185
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Stupid and everybody Digs couldn't believe it. I think every

186
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: player got asked about it and they were all just

187
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: like why would you do that? Like why? Why? Why

188
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: even chance it? If you're gonna test him, you think

189
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: you try to bait him, like you try to work

190
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: him throughout the game and then get him into a situation.

191
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: You got him thinking one thing and then try to

192
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: get him. I don't know why they thought that would

193
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: be a good idea to start the game, but fourteen

194
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: is the record. I think he's gonna get there. He's

195
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: got two games, he needs three interceptions. I think he's

196
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna get there. That's a lot in two games. Night

197
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Lane Lane. Seriously, like that record has been around since

198
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: like running back. It's amazing just to just to say

199
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs at night train Lane. Yeah, that even sounds funny. Again,

200
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: I mean three and two games would be wild, but

201
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: Kyler and I would be surprised. But I'm not gonna

202
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: bet against him. Why Yeah, Kyl, you know he's had

203
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: he had three against hers last year. Give it to you.

204
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: That would be fun. I'd like to just him to

205
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: get twelve for sure. You know, break the record for

206
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. That would be cool. And Everson Walls we

207
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: did talk to him about a last week and he said, hey,

208
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: get it, but no one's ever gonna take my rookie record.

209
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: You know. He said, no one's gonna break that. So

210
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: because Everston got eleven as a rookie, so he's got

211
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: the record and a rookie record. He's like, so nobody's

212
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: coming into the league. I'm not being erased from the record. No, no, yeah,

213
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: being there will no, there will not be another player

214
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: to come in as a rookie to get eleven. And

215
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: if he is, I guarantee not undrafted from Grambling. Like

216
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: that ain't happening. All right, We're gonna take our first break.

217
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: When we come back. We got to talk about this offense.

218
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with Dak and the day that he

219
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: had and how he performed it. More importantly, what was

220
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: different for him yesterday, because it did seem like there

221
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: were some things that were a little different. We'll talk

222
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: about that we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the second segment of the Break Life

264
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: Nest WBC Mortgage Studios. At the start, we're talking about

265
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys victory over the Washington football team. They win

266
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: fifty six to fourteen. That still just sounds like I'm

267
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: want to college football show that that is not an

268
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: NFL score. That's how I felt last night, was like,

269
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, LSU's playing Sam Houston State, and like midway

270
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: through they of course not sorry direct should know you.

271
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't I'm not picking on anybody, but you're just

272
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, let's get the freshman in here.

273
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: Let's see what the young guys can do. And they

274
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: even scored. Right. He gat Malakue Turner out there, just

275
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: like running up and down the field. Belie Turner, I

276
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna house that thing. Yeah, he was

277
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: not gonna go down. Yeah. That was the other That

278
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: was just the epitome of like the Washington's checked out

279
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: of this game. They're demoralized, and Malik Turner's like I'm

280
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: putting stuff on, yeah, things to accomplish here. Let's talk

281
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: about one. Dak Prescott though, I think yesterday we got

282
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: to see Dak. If you thought he was in a slump,

283
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: which I don't know if i'd call it a slump,

284
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: but if you thought he wasn't playing his best football,

285
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: yesterday he got a little back, a little bit closer

286
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: to where he was earlier in the season when he

287
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: was playing really great football. He was twenty eight at

288
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: thirty nine seventy two percent completion, which is I think

289
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: the most important thing. Three hundred and thirty yards, four

290
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns and no interceptions. Talk to me about Dak Prescott,

291
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: he's back, baby, which I just I laugh the kind

292
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: of quibbling and they'd almost sound superstitious where he's He's like,

293
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: I never called it to slump. Y'all called it to slump,

294
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: but I haven't been playing my best football, and now

295
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: I would what that means. But hey, whatever whatever makes

296
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: feel better. Um yeah, But now he was incredible. He

297
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: looked I mean, that was that was Dak at his best.

298
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: That was Dak playing like an MVP candidate. That was

299
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: the guy that we saw for the first seven eight

300
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, including Atlanta. But even like they

301
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: beat Atlanta down, he didn't play that great I mean, like,

302
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he played very well against Atlanta, but he

303
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: that was maybe his best game of the year, or

304
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: certainly top three, along with like New England and Tampa probably. Um.

305
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he he was putting it on a dime.

306
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: He had had that throw to CD the crosser over

307
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: the shoulder. I don't know what else you're gonna say.

308
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: He looked, he looked amazing. Goody. I just thought he

309
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: was a complete quarterback too, you know. I mean when

310
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: we noticed it very early in the game, even though

311
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't doesn't just jump out on the statuet, the

312
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: runs him running the ball for a first down here

313
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: and stepping up in the pocket and getting your seven

314
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: eight and slide and getting out of there, and I

315
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: thought all of that was kind of back to what

316
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: type of quarterback he can be. He does not have

317
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: to be this this dynamic runner that's gonna go and

318
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: get one hundred yards rushing and all that stuff. He's

319
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: just got to be a guy willing to do it.

320
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: And I thought last last night he did that. And

321
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: then that opens up a lot of things. I Mean,

322
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: the best play on top of that is the third

323
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: and seven. It's like twenty one to seven. The game's,

324
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, is Washington's trying to get staying alive in

325
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: this and he looks like he's gonna run, defense sucks up.

326
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: He throws it over to Gallop for forty one yards

327
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: and then that kind of led to another touchdown. I

328
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: just thought his ability to run was important last night.

329
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: He looked like himself in my opinion. I mean, he

330
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: ran for twenty one yards and yet, like we've been saying,

331
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: you don't have to need Dak Press got to run

332
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: for more than ten fifteen yards in a game, but

333
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: the ability to do that to extend plays, and then yeah,

334
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: the scramble throw to Gallop, I mean, I just think

335
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: that's such a staple of his game that we haven't

336
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: been seeing consistently over the last five or six weeks,

337
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, and trying to figure out what was different.

338
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: It makes me wonder, Okay, did he play better because

339
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: everybody else was playing better in the offense as a whole,

340
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: or did everybody else play better because that was playing better.

341
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: But then at the same time, you're like, Okay, you

342
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need to put the two against each other.

343
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: You know, they're a whole unit. They play as a whole.

344
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 1: I think that everyone was just working right. You had

345
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: the running game, you had the tight end position doing

346
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: well as well, the old line. Nothing stands out. Do

347
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: you guys have anything that stood out that was ness?

348
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there was one play, but in general they

349
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: did a pretty nice job. Steel getting in the end zone,

350
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: there was making amazing. There's so many things about that

351
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: that was just awesome, like so many. I mean Steel

352
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown, um spiking it into the stands. I

353
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: think the best part is that if you saw on

354
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: the TV. I don't know if you saw it on

355
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: the on that on the TV's um the angle when

356
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: they're kicking the extra point. Zeke is in the end

357
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: zone running across because he went and fetched the ball

358
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: from the fans and told the fan, we're gonna get

359
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: you something else or whatever, because make sure he got

360
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: the ball for Steele. You know something that Steel wasn't

361
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: thinking about in the moment. I'm so excited. He just

362
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: scored a touch down and spikes it into the stands

363
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: and he's gonna want this ball, right. I think Zack

364
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: Martin said that last year, Um Zeke scored and gave

365
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: him the ball and he kind of you know, just

366
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: kind of threw it down and spiked and they were

367
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: all getting onto him about that was a terrible spike.

368
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, bring some authority, all right. You

369
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: know he said he catches that he's never dropped that

370
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: pass and in the you know, in practice or whatever.

371
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: But I thought seventeenth person to catch a touchdown at

372
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: the time, Yeah, to have a touchdown. No, d Law

373
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: broke the record at seventeen. Okay, the record was sixteen seventeen,

374
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: Steel was eighteen nineteen. Now Colston was nineteen. So I

375
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: got McGovern in the only twelve of the nineteen playoffense

376
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: seven different non special record. I'm guessing that has to

377
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: be a record. Right are we doing? You want to?

378
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: Can we do? Can we do it? Joe Burrow segment? Danny, No,

379
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: We're not doing it. Joe Burrows segment. Get out of here? Amazing, Like,

380
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: what are y'all talking about? Get out of here? Hey, listen,

381
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: Danny McCrae, you have been saying, we looked I got

382
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: nothing to say, although they didn't. Couldn't hear him on

383
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: the mic? That was Danny McCrae interrupting our show? Is

384
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: that called a show? Bum? No? We're all, yeah, well,

385
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: you just think we're sitting around the table having a conversation, Danny,

386
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: we do the show in the studio, right, He's right, though,

387
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: he is right, But behind that conversation, the three of

388
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: us have Danny and I have been arguing about this

389
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: defense since training camp, Like every day I come into

390
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: work and He's like, top ten, top ten, and I'm like, okay, buddy,

391
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: And like over the course of the season, I've been

392
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: like okay, and now I'm just like, you're You're right.

393
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: I got nothing. Let be honest. I don't think even

394
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: he thought they would be as good as they are, right, No, no,

395
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: he did. Anybody could have imagined. It goes back to

396
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: what I mean, even even the people that were banging

397
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: the table for Mica, like the big diehard draft Micah people,

398
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: even they had no idea what was coming. I mean,

399
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: you could never have predicted how successful they've been. Yeah,

400
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn is just a remarkable defensive Quinn. I don't

401
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: think I was. Yeah, I don't think I was in

402
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: the category of banging the table for Micah Parsons. I did.

403
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: That was the guy I wanted them to draft, But no,

404
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't think he would be like this

405
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: now when he watched his tape, nobody was blocking him. Yeah,

406
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: that was that was you know evident nobody could block him.

407
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: But to be able to utilize them the way they have,

408
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: I think is amazing. And you know when when he can,

409
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, when he's on the field, he's really good.

410
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: When he's not, they're not, he's good. That was the

411
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: one you remember. I'm going to say, we're actually gonna

412
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: play a little game. I'm gonna throw out some names

413
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna let you guys riff on them

414
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: and how they played. And actually that was one of

415
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: the reasons why I did is because Nick was losing

416
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: his mind in the breast box during one series. In

417
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: the game, Cowboys are probably up by four touchdowns, twenty

418
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: one to nothing, because they they've even said it's twenty

419
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: one nothing. That not anymore. It ain't because it was

420
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: like right when Gibson scored. But don't understand that Michael

421
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: Parson's go Nick, I just the guy's the beast. I mean,

422
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: when he's on the field, he helps everybody. Okay, get it,

423
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: Lions need to rest too. Whatever. Into the I guess

424
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: into the first core. They're driving. It's twenty one nothing,

425
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: and they're okay, they're in the red zone in the

426
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: court and he's sitting there helmet off, and there's like

427
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: three or four plays, and then the quarter ends. You

428
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: go all the way down to the other field. Okay, okay,

429
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: get your get your guy back in. No, he's still

430
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: standing there, and they go and score touchdown on a

431
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: running back out of the backfield type play that you

432
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: know he can he can make those kind of plays.

433
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just not understanding that one. I don't

434
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: get why this twenty two year old lionbacker needs to

435
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: needs a rest like that, especially after the end of

436
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: the quarter. You don't know everything that's happening here, don't.

437
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Like sometimes we might see a guy

438
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: just on the sideline and we're like, what the heck,

439
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: Like you should be on the field, But we don't

440
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: necessarily know why he's sitting on the sideline. You know,

441
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: he didn't know. We didn't know either. I mean, like,

442
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: I'm not very happy with him. No, he didn't know.

443
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: Smoke was coming out of his ear. And what happened

444
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: the next time he was on the field, He got

445
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: sacked and he like hurt the guy. He was like, yeah, yeah,

446
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: I just I can't Yeah, I can't bring myself to care.

447
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, well, you know honestly, and I told

448
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: I told you just during the game. Like what we

449
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: don't know is was this a situation where they've been

450
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: looking at his numbers and they're like, man, he's getting

451
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: a lot of time on the field. We need to start, honestly,

452
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: and we got our other guys back, so we can

453
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: afford to do that, and so give him a series

454
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 1: here and there because we really need to be at

455
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: his best once we get to the playoffs. That is

456
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: a wonderful guess at the reasoning because Mike McCarthy cares

457
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: about that maybe more than anything. And I'm totally fine

458
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: with that until the red zone. Okay, you want him back? Okay,

459
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: that was cute, like all this you know, midfield stuff.

460
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: Now get back in there, you know. But the other

461
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: thing might be like we trust our other guys. Now.

462
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: I know they got end zone that time, but they

463
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of other playmakers on this defense. They

464
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: don't have have to have him be the only guy

465
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: to make plays, right. If if that's how they if

466
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: that's how they approach it in the playoffs, I'll be upset. Maybe,

467
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: yeah they did. It was obvious from like the second

468
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: possession that Washington wasn't gonna win that game. Yeah, I'm

469
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: just like, okay, whatever you want to do, all right,

470
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: let's move on to the next one. Zeke Elliott, what

471
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: oh great? Awesome? Was he? Yeah? I thought so. He

472
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: Look he's gonna I think he's gonna be dealing with

473
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: stuff for the rest of the of the year, Like

474
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: you're just not He's not gonna be as fresh as

475
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: he would be if we had just landed in Oxnard,

476
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: probably for the rest of the year. But every week

477
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: he looks fresher and fresher, which like I don't I

478
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: don't understand. I wish we got more time with these

479
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: guys like Zeke always he's always great with us. He's

480
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: the first guy into the podium. He talks for like

481
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: five or six minutes. But it's just not the same

482
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: as when you can, like pre COVID times, when you

483
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: can just kind of chill at his locker and shot.

484
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm so curious at the idea of like, Okay, every

485
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: six days, you're still getting beat to hell, So how

486
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: do you why do you feel better? You know what

487
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Like it seems counterintuitive, but it's true. Like

488
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: he he looks fresh, or he looks like he's got

489
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more burst. And yeah, I mean the

490
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: running game, they I mean they it was a non

491
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: factor by their standards. Zeke had thirty seven and Tony

492
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: had thirty four. They didn't need to. But I thought

493
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: he did the stuff that you needed him to do.

494
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: This was one of those games for me where the

495
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: stats didn't say how how much I thought Zeke played well,

496
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: Like if you watched him run, he looked He had

497
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: several runs where he looked like the old Zeke, Like

498
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: he looked like the Zeke deck in Make Things Happen,

499
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: which you hadn't seen that a lot of this season.

500
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: But I thought there were some moments in that game,

501
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: and you go back to the touchdown he had last week,

502
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: you start putting those two games together, I'm actually starting

503
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: to feel like, Okay, Zeke is he must be feeling

504
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: a little bit better because he's having some runs that

505
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: looked more like vintage Zeke. I'm quibbling, and I know

506
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: this isn't what you meant, but like up until the injury,

507
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: like first six weeks of the season, he did look

508
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: like that, Like, yeah, he had a fifty yard or

509
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: in one of the first four games of the year.

510
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: Haven't seen that in forever. And that's what I'm talking

511
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 1: about the injury period. Yeah, I don't know if we're

512
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: going to see him do that again this year. But

513
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: he's getting to the perimeter, like he's getting to the

514
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: edge when he runs outside. He's getting to the second level.

515
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: He wasn't doing that against Denver and New Orleans and

516
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: some of these other games. And he's falling forward like

517
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: that was the part that was missing from his game.

518
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: That's always been a big part of his game, is

519
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: give me the extra two or three once you get hit.

520
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: We're starting to see that again now. Yeah, we saw

521
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: that in the touchdown, you know, where he basically carried

522
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: those guys into the end zone. That wasn't my favorite

523
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: part of the play. I kind of liked big dog

524
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins just leading the way out there, and he

525
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: hadn't seen that in a while either. After the game,

526
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: I asked him about that and he was kind of disappointed.

527
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: He was like, I kind of oh, he goes. I

528
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: wish I would have finished that little dude off and

529
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: knocked in. He wanted another. I mean people still tweet

530
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: that clip of him against the Seahawks from like six

531
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: years ago. He wanted to do that. He wanted that.

532
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: But let's also let's remember he's playing, you know, right tackle.

533
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 1: He's on the left side leading the way. You got,

534
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, got to move your ass to get over

535
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: there and get out there. Fantastic play on his part,

536
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: but that's kind of to my point, that's a counterplay

537
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: off of left tackle. So you got to get to

538
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: the edge and then it's eleven yards. An explosive run

539
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: is typically considered twelve depending on who you talk to.

540
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: But so that's Zeke getting to the edge and then

541
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: getting down field for a twelve yard touchdown. He wasn't

542
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: doing that a month ago. Right, It's crazy how just

543
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: I keep imagining the thinking about the game last night,

544
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: and it's just amazing the way they played. And you know,

545
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: it's one thing people from the outside criticizing you and

546
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: talking crap and all that, but it's another if you

547
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: got your own teammates talking crap to you. And I'm

548
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: talking about the defense versus the offense and the type

549
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: of bet that they made between each other. So I'm

550
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that has a lot to do as far

551
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: as like energy wise, and the fact that everyone on

552
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: offense just showed up from the get go at the

553
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: beginning of the game. Everyone was playing with the different

554
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 1: kind of energy. And I like to think that was

555
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: the defense, our own defense talking crap to them. When

556
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: you started talking about teammates talking crap to each other,

557
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: I actually thought you were going toward the Washington No. No,

558
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: that's the kind of bad crap that you don't want.

559
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: We got. There's the good kind of crap, which is

560
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys are doing. Yeah, a good cropping back crop.

561
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: That was actually pretty funny that that whole thing, And

562
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: I was actually I started listening in because I like

563
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: to do this just for fun. I listened into a

564
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: little bit of Washington sports talk this morning, and it

565
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: was just so funny listening to them talk about that

566
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: whole situation and how it all went down. And I mean,

567
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: obviously we've been there, Like if you're if you're an

568
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: NFL fan, your city's going to be there at some

569
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: point where you are you know your team is not

570
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: playing well and something happens where you're the butt of

571
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: the joke, right They are certainly the butt of the

572
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: joke this morning, from the benches to the fight on

573
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: the sideline, Like everything right now says Washington is a

574
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: joke and they just got to deal with that. Man.

575
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: Well they you know, the Cowboys win the NFC East

576
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: even before the game starts, and I mean, I'm asked

577
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: on our pregame show about you think the air is

578
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: going to be kind of let out of this, and

579
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't think so. You know, it don't

580
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like it. But Washington was a team that

581
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: had something to really really play for. You know, they

582
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: were desperate to beat a division rival like that, that

583
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: was a desperate team needing to hang on to for

584
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And you've already kind of wrapped something up.

585
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: I mean that that makes this win even more impressive. Yeah,

586
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: I agree. Cowboys are working some stuff out last night.

587
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a frustrating month and for nobody

588
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: more than those guys, And I'm positive that they're tired

589
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: of hearing about it. And I bet they're not the

590
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: type of thing they want to say publicly, but they're

591
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: probably privately pretty pissed that people like us talk about

592
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: them like the sky's falling when they've won three in

593
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: a row and they're ten and four and so kind

594
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: of you know, crack your knuckles like yeah, we're okay.

595
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: That's also the interest thing, Like whatever you can say

596
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: about this team, they've shown us so many different ways

597
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: of winning this year. They've won ugly, They've won some

598
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: games that would defensive struggles. They've had some blowouts like

599
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: last night, like it's all over the map. They can

600
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: win in a lot of different ways, which is again

601
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: a very good sign for a championship caliber team is

602
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: how many different ways can you win? Because you're gonna

603
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: have you're gonna be presented with different circumstances every game

604
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: in the playoff against really good teams. Going back to

605
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: Nick's point about they can win, I mean they can

606
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl playing the way they did. I

607
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: was thinking about this last night. You never know what

608
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: will happen, and obviously it definitely it gets scary if

609
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: you're talking about like going to a place like Lambeau

610
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: in January. But every time I've ever covered a good

611
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys teams fourteen, sixteen eighteen, every year I was like, yeah,

612
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: they're good, but they're not as good as Seattle, or

613
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: they're not as good as Green Bay or whatever. I

614
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: can't guarantee they'll beat those teams. But I don't think

615
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: that there's a team in the NFC that's definitively better

616
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: than them. All it is is And I was having

617
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: this conversation with my nephews last night. There's one player

618
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: that you're worried about. Yep, everybody else, all the other teams.

619
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, I'll take this team up against that team.

620
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: I'll take this team up against that. It's Aaron Rodgers.

621
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: Is the guy are you looking at like? I just

622
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: don't know because he's Aaron Rodgers. Everybody else I feel

623
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys. I think the matchup is good. I

624
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys got a real shot to beat him.

625
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: Are we gonna take our final break and we come back.

681
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: you never tell me anything. What I'm kind of side

682
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: with the side with their Dave on I told you

683
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: what you were supposed he tells, yes, you were supposed

684
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: to tell you your team. That's why I'm looking at

685
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: you like this. Fine. First of I've heard of anyway,

686
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: and I've told you guys, what about being my directors?

687
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: Someone please can y'all direct about Chris, how about the producer?

688
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: He didn't even know. Anyway, we'll be on we won't

689
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: be have any shows on Friday, so everybody knows. Won't

690
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: we have any shows on Friday days? From now? We

691
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: kill one, we go hour to hour over here. That's true,

692
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: That is very true. Here all right, we got some

693
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: names we need to talk about. Let's talk about one

694
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: of Mark Cooper. He had seven catches, eighty five yards,

695
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: one touchdown. What'd you think of his performance? The irony

696
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: is that he dropped like three passes last night. That's

697
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: uncommon for him. But it's funny because that's one of

698
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: the things we've been talking about. And CD had a

699
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: drop too, which totally is offset by the work he

700
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: did in the first half. I mean, I think it

701
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: was a pass from Cooper rush who cares at that point,

702
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, like if something happens, but it was not.

703
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: He played great, and they they can downplay it. I

704
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: don't think they went into the game like Mari's got

705
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: to get the first target, but they made a concerted

706
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: effort to get him the ball and I think that

707
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: paid off. And um, it's just it's just emblematic of

708
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: everything that was clicking on offense that hasn't been And

709
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: it's just it's funny to me that they were clicking

710
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 1: so well that it didn't even matter that they still

711
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: had some execution issues. What's funny. So he was complaining

712
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: about not getting enough targets, so I mean, there he is.

713
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: But which that comment made me think. You know, I

714
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: like to like sometimes over analyze things and just like

715
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: it gets in my head and I'm okay, are they

716
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: starting to lose some kind of chemistry? You know, because

717
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: we've been like, okay, all of these receivers are happy

718
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: that each other are getting as many targets as they are,

719
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: and no one it's complaining or being a diva or anything.

720
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: So that comment made me wander. I'm like, huh oh,

721
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, kind of keep an eye on it. But

722
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: it seemed that it worked out fine even regardless of

723
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: those drop passes. You don't know how much I love

724
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: that play that they did. I love that play. I

725
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: think about that sometimes, like they should teams college, they

726
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: should do that way every game. Well, I mean, but

727
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: what it does is that when you can catch the

728
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: ball over the middle of the way the defenses are playing,

729
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: you would you know they're playing it back like that.

730
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: It's there and the most the simplest part of that

731
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: is for him to catch that pass, and he dropped

732
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: that when kind of messes the whole thing up, you know,

733
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: because he wouldn't have got a first down, but it

734
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: would probably been like fourth and three, fourth and four.

735
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: But it's good to have when you're gonna play that

736
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: kind of coverage, to say, you know, and it was

737
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: set up perfectly, you know that he was he was

738
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: there for it. I love the play, just like I

739
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: love the flea flicker, but it hasn't worked out so

740
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: well the last couple of times that I mean, and

741
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: Kellen every Monday watches tape from around the league and

742
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: looks for stuff. And then Jets ran that a week

743
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: or two ago and then they got like forty yards

744
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: off of it. I loved the decision to put it in. Yeah,

745
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: you would think you'd catch a lateral, but no, I

746
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: thought Amari was good. And that's um like they didn't

747
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 1: they didn't do anything different, Like they didn't. They weren't

748
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: calling all these crazy plays that they haven't been calling.

749
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: That's what that's what made it so frustrating these last

750
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: few weeks. Is like Washington's was still playing a lot

751
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: of too high, like Dak found gallop for forty when

752
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: he broke contain and extended to play. But like playing

753
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: within the script, it was a lot of the same stuff.

754
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: I mean, they just he was throwing better balls, they

755
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: were making better catches, like CD comes to mind. If

756
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: he does that, we said that last week. If he

757
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: does that against the Giants, it looks way different. And

758
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: I so just little little tweaks, guys executing on stuff

759
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: that they weren't before. Dalton Schultz eight catches, eighty two yards,

760
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: one touchdown. That's not two games in a row when

761
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: he's been pretty pretty good. What are we thinking. I'm

762
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: wondering how he feels today. He got absolutely blasted at

763
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: the end of the first half, right he did? Yeah?

764
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: He No, he did. But I know, well, I guess

765
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: what I'm getting as more, we can at least rule

766
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: out concussion because he would not have been back on

767
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: the field if it was a concussion. And I was

768
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: worried that maybe it was a concussion, but I don't know,

769
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: stop it. Yeah, we can rule out the fact that

770
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: it wasn't a concussion. He would not have been back

771
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: on the field. No, I didn't say, okay. I just

772
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: was looking at that look on Dave's face. Later though,

773
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: the concussion doesn't just pop up though, right. I don't know. No,

774
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: I think he came back. He said he's fine. I

775
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: talked to him. He said he was fine. He said

776
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: he got two fingers. No, he got the win knocked

777
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: out of him. Oh good. Yeah, that's a hard hit.

778
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: A hell of an effort by him to hold onto it. Yeah, yeah,

779
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: because it was it felt like it looked like the

780
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: ball was kind of scorting down. He was just like

781
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: everything he could to hold on to it. You know,

782
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: it's encouraging. What did he finish with Dalton? Two eight catches?

783
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: We said it before the Giants game because he played

784
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: well against the Giants too. It's like, why isn't this here?

785
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: If if everybody's committed to sitting back and taking the

786
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: receivers away, where's the tight end? And so it's it's

787
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: a pretty reliable target most of the time. Yeah, and

788
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: and he's stringing together some good games. I'd have to

789
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: go back and watch to know if he's always been

790
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: there and Dack's just been overlooking it. And that is

791
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: a plausible explanation, and when you go back to the

792
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: whole aggressively take what they give you. Things like stop,

793
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: you don't have to force the fancy plays. Dalton's hanging

794
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: out right there between the hash mark. If he has

795
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: decent games the name two weeks, not nothing crazy, just decent.

796
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: He's probably he's gonna be close to he's gonna have

797
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: eighty catches for eight hundred yards. Wow, and he's got

798
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: six touchdowns, so maybe seven or eight. But it's like

799
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: great year for I think he's at like he's like

800
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: sixty eight or sixty nine catches for over seven hundred

801
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: right now, but he's he's getting close to the eighty

802
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: eight hundred range. It's ironic because and I'm not saying

803
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: this is fair, but like he was. He was fantastic

804
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: for the first like six weeks, and then the Pro

805
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: Bowl voting window opens and he kind of drops off.

806
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: And now he's going again. Now that the Pro Bowl

807
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: teams have been decided. I want I wouldn't what I

808
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: heard they have as many as like ten alternates. Yeah, Cowboys,

809
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: I bet he might be one of them. Pits and Kittle,

810
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: and it's hard to no, that's no like the guys

811
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: that got it. He deserved it more than Evan Ingram

812
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: did last year. Yeah, the guys that got named to

813
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl this year are deserving. So I'm not

814
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: saying Dalton got snubbed, but if he has two or

815
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: three better games in November, he might have been in

816
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: there right saying. It could be said for Dak and

817
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: for Zeke and you know, to Marcus, that's the next

818
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: guy we got on this list. Marcus Lawrence missed a

819
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: lot of games, but would you think of his play yesterday.

820
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: He's he's a beast. It's it's and I keep saying this,

821
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: but it's so impressive the way that these guys have

822
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: just kind of hit the ground running, like to miss

823
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: to miss two months and just I mean, he's been phenomenal.

824
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: He's played like an All Pro in every game that

825
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: he's been back. Like I forgot that he got a

826
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: sack too last night. Yeah, it was it was like

827
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: a pursued play and he kind of dragged him down

828
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. But he's he's been disruptive

829
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: and dominant. I think, not trying to take anything away

830
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: from him, but it just makes a world of difference.

831
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: That they you can't key on him the way that

832
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: you used to be able to the touchdown. I mean,

833
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: that was an impressive play, but I do have to

834
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 1: ask this is maybe what they're asking on that Washington show.

835
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: You were you were listening to what was Heineck doing

836
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: after on that touchdown? I didn't see that? You didn't

837
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: see that. What was he doing? It looks like he

838
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: was sliding into second for like a ground roll double

839
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: or something. He just went down. He's like, don't hit me.

840
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: He he just it look him up. I mean like

841
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: like I just watched it. Yeah, like what what are

842
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: we doing here? Like like everyone's focused on Tank, so

843
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: you're like, is he gonna be in down? SCAD's gonna score?

844
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: He's don score? Oh my god, Tank. But if you

845
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: just watch from the quarterback standpoint, you're like, what are

846
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: you doing? Like that that right there, and you're you're

847
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: into soccer, you're kind of a late a later life

848
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 1: soccer fan. That he's going like studs up, slide tackle

849
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: right there, Like he looks like a defensive midfielder. So

850
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what that was, but thanks,

851
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean, get him, try to get him down anyway

852
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: you can't. And I guess, yeah, I'd rather my quarterback

853
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: try to do something like that than like, actually, you know,

854
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: put his body in the way of DeMarcus Lawrence, Like

855
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: you don't want that. And at that point in the game,

856
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: it was it was fourteen to nothing. But you know

857
00:42:55,360 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offenses. You watching this, okay, right second, he say,

858
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: he say he's safe. Good, good job, Yeah he de

859
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: Marcus is safe in the end zone. Yeah, and you're

860
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: safe to play again. But um, you know, and then

861
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: they have red zone issues. They didn't last night, but

862
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: they they've had some. And then you know, at least

863
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: they want to do is tackle him, you know, get

864
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: him out of bounds, push him out of bounds, and

865
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: then maybe hold him to a field goal or whatever.

866
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, didn't didn't happen like that. I think I

867
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: don't think he's very good. I'm sorry, no, And I

868
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: know that there's the moxie, toughness, all that stuff. Yeah,

869
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: that works at Old Dominion. He's playing better than you

870
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: thought a guy that's coming in and those circumstances would play.

871
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he's good. I think that's sometimes when

872
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: we kind of get it bixed. Up like he can

873
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 1: have a player or two and you're like, oh okay,

874
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean he's he had a baseball night

875
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: because he threw the ball into the first base like

876
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: six times one he was just trying to get rid

877
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: of the ball like he was getting no shot. I

878
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: really getting just harassed back there. There's no way. I'm

879
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: not trying to say he's like not tough. He's definitely

880
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: got a lot of moxie. But like he had to

881
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: he especially with his experience at FedEx, he had to

882
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: have just felt hopeless standing like making those calls. He's like,

883
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: oh my god, like stop, don't hit me anymore. Or

884
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: he even stepped up to the to the live scrimmage,

885
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 1: he was probably thinking, oh God, this is not gonna

886
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: be good. And they're not gonna they're about to face them.

887
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a challenge now. I mean, because this

888
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: guy can run. I mean Kyler Murray. You know I

889
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: said what I said a couple of weeks ago. He's

890
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: not he's not my favorite quarterback in the world, but

891
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: I mean he's a great athlete. I'll see that run

892
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: last week that that's just like the one that where

893
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: he ran for almost such. I think he got down

894
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: to like the one, but he basically he went through

895
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: the defense. He was scrambling. He goes through the defense

896
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: and you could just see the speed because everybody's running.

897
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: But you know how you see certain guys running and

898
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: everybody else is running, but they're running way faster, and

899
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: that tells you just how fast they are. It was

900
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: an amazing place. He every time I've ever seen him

901
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: play like, he has eight yards whenever he wants it.

902
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of do I want to settle

903
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: for that or look for the bigger play downfield, and

904
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: that's the Cowboys are uniquely positioned to combat that. I

905
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what it looks like because every

906
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: time I've ever seen Kyler play eight yards on the

907
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: ground is guaranteed if he wants to do that. And

908
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: not to get too far into the conversation, because I

909
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: think that's going to be the conversation we'll be having

910
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: over the next couple of days, But I think the

911
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: one this is the one game where I want to

912
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: see how does Micah match up, because this is a

913
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: game where you might be able to have the one

914
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: anecdote that no other team seems to have to him running,

915
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: which is a linebacker who can spy him, who can run. Now,

916
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he can run as fast as Kyla,

917
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: but he can run, and so that's gonna make for

918
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: a really interesting match up. Yeah, it's gonna be a

919
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: really interesting matchup at how Dallas plans to play against him.

920
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: That plays off. One more thing I wanted to say

921
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: about DeMarcus, and we touched on it last week, is

922
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: like this this has to be the most freakishly athletic

923
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 1: front that I've ever watched, at least like from a

924
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: professional standpoint, Like the athletic ability that these guys have,

925
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: Like what Randy did it at FedEx, what DeMarcus did

926
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: last night. Micah speaks for himself, and they're just there

927
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: aren't a lot of offensive lines that can cope with that,

928
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: and there aren't a lot of quarterbacks. Kyler Murray might

929
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: be one of them, but even and I don't want

930
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: to get too far ahead of myself, but like Aaron

931
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: Rodgers has killed them so many times over the years

932
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: by like extending plays and you just can't get to him.

933
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: They can they can do something about that, and can't

934
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,439
Speaker 1: move the way he normally would move with that toe.

935
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's there's a lot of intrigue even that's

936
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: how Dallas is going to match up with a lot

937
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: of these teams down that them stretching into the playoffs.

938
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: Neville Gallimore too, like he's he's not athletic on that

939
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: level like a Micah Parsons, but like he's just a

940
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: big dude who can move and move you Also, like

941
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: the pocket, I mean, he's a I think he's a

942
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: really big part of what they've been doing since he

943
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: got back, even if his stats don't always show it.

944
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: That's another thing about about Heineke, Like he's he's shorter.

945
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is obviously short as well, but he can

946
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: he runs a lot better. But but still, when you're

947
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: standing in that pocket and it's getting collapsed, you become order.

948
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: You know, those guys get tall and it's a tougher

949
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: throw to make. So that's about tipped passes, right, So

950
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the key in a game like that.

951
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: It just keep getting that interior pressure real quick. Before

952
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: we end this show, I do need to get some

953
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: some thoughts from you guys. On Kelvin Joseph, he got

954
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: a lot of play last night. What do you guys

955
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 1: to think of his play? I thought he was great

956
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: for all things considered, Like, he couldn't have known he

957
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: was going to be playing that many snaps he played

958
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: fifty seven. Couldn't have known that until Friday at the earliest,

959
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: maybe even Saturday. Um, they put him out there. I

960
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: mean they didn't let him. They tried to keep him

961
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: away from McLaren. I think that's a big part of Diggs.

962
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: Probably traveled even more than he usually does, which is smart,

963
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: but so he didn't have to go against McLaurin, but

964
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: he also had to do more stuff like you're not

965
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: just like, hey, Kelvin, he's traveling, Kelvin, you're on the

966
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: left side. Just worry about the left side. They didn't

967
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 1: really do that. Um, he should have had a pick. Yeah,

968
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure he didn't. I'm sure he lost sleep about

969
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: that last night. But I'm not going to kill him

970
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: for that, no doubt. I was gonna say. I wonder

971
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 1: what they are actually doing different this year, because I

972
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: feel like most guys that have been out when they

973
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: come back, even if it's not for the whole game

974
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: or anything limited or whatever, they seem to do pretty well.

975
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: Like in the past year, I feel like guys that

976
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: have been injured or out for a while, it kind

977
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: of takes them a few games to get going. And

978
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: this year, man, whatever they're doing over there, it's freaking amazing.

979
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: And I am so impressed by the coaching staff. I

980
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: am so impressed by the medical staff and everything how

981
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: they've handled because I can't think of a single guy

982
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: that has come back and just had to who maybe

983
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: Dak what you got to ruin my thing? You know what?

984
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: As I say that he came back, okay, but you

985
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: know what, you're actually right because when he came back,

986
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: he was amazing. When he came back from the Atlantic game, right, No, No,

987
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: he came against Denver first. Yeah, defense have been good

988
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: along a similar line, just in general. I was so impressed,

989
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: and we talked about Digs. Obviously he's the headliner, but

990
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: I was so impressed by the secondary just bullied those guys,

991
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: and that's it's fun to see what the pass rush

992
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: can do for a secondary, Like, obviously you're gonna have

993
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,240
Speaker 1: more opportunities at picks, but you also know the ball's

994
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: got to come out so fast. They were just camping

995
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: on every route last night. Like ab had at least

996
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: two breakups Diggs hadn't. Diggs had that play on the

997
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: crosser where he just like batted it away like Mtumbo

998
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: basically jumped over him to do it. Yeah, it was.

999
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: It was pretty amazing. Kelvin had at least one. Like

1000
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 1: they just they were ready for everything because they knew,

1001
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: they knew it was gonna be eight to twelve yard

1002
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: routes because Heiniki didn't have time to do it more

1003
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: than that, and they were just swatting everything away. They

1004
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: were really impressed. And when when the referees are gonna

1005
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: call it that wayboys, because they certainly did both sides

1006
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: of the ball. We saw a couple of times it

1007
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: looked like, I mean, some of those plays on Thanksgiving

1008
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: would would have been I mean arrest, not just penalties,

1009
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: but arrest I mean against the Raiders. But this game

1010
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: they let them play. I think it benefits the Cowboys

1011
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: for that because they're gonna get their plays on offense

1012
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: as well. So if you can get their hands on

1013
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: the guys like that, that helps Dallas. All right, that's

1014
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: a rap. We'll be back tomorrow. We're gonna get you

1015
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: guys ready for Cowboys versus Cardinals. That should be an

1016
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: interesting game, fun game, a good game to be able

1017
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: to test kind of where this team is heading into

1018
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs. We'll talk about that tomorrow. So they're for

1019
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 1: Nick Eaton, Dave helm and Amber Garcia. I am Derek Eagleton.
