How's everybody doing today? Great as 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.680 everybody's on their phone or computer. No, no, I was 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.480 just feel like I'm dealing with my kids right now. 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.440 I just realized I looked down and I got like, 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:30.480 purple sleeves on and everything else. We'll make us up 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:37.080 on Yeah, I'm with you on that. Yeah, you know, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.280 I'm siner thinking and then I even were my purple converse. 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:45.360 But it's all ls LSU. Really, I'm not going at all. 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.600 I don't ask me who I'm gonna pick, but yeah, 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:50.360 you yes to do on the radio, so I know 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.520 exactly who you gotta. I did a podcast this morning. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.840 I kind of gave a reason why. But yeah, but 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.160 get to that. No, we're good, We're good. We just 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.200 a huge game, man, especially with what happened, you know, 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.320 last night and stuff like that. I think Green Bay 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.120 got eliminated last night. I was kind of worried about 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.560 them kind of climbing back into this thing. You know, 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.600 all of a sudden you're battling with them as that 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.200 you know, Oh, it's the fifth, sixth seven, it's six 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.720 seventh seed. Oh wait, it's head to head, what you 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.799 know that kind of stuff. I actually was thinking like 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.320 about five o'clock when I've realized who was playing in 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.640 the game, and I said, tomorrow morning, Brian's gonna say it. 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.519 Like I was still fifty fifty on that game. I 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.639 was like, Brian's gonna say one of two things. He's 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.680 gonna say, good job letting them back in there, letting 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.639 that guy back in there. Now they're one two in 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.560 a row and all that. If they win, if they lose, 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.239 they're gonna be like, why didn't you play better like that? 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.880 Why why couldn't the Cowboys have done what the Titans did? 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:43.880 Or whatever? So one way or another, I kind of 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.120 wish the Cowboys were the Titans. I mean the way 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.399 they play the Titans, they get they get guys banged up, 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.160 they have half their guys, and they find ways to win. 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.760 I mean I could I could pull for a team 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.760 like way, say whatever Zeke and Pollard are doing fourteen thirteen, 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:04.519 yea twenty seven carriers. Yeah, and that guy that guy, Yeah, 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.359 he's gonger than both and faster than both. Yeah. That 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.800 that guy is is the broad touchdown passes as we 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.799 saw last night, he can really switch down passes us 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.400 last night. Yeah, kind of gave it, gave it my guy. 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.240 That gave Alexander like, yeah, you're the little guy. He 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.880 gave the little guy. He gave little guys signal to him. Yeah, 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.040 he gave a couple. He had a couple of nice 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.720 catches last night. So yeah, that team that seems gonna 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.280 be that's gonna an interesting game there in December at 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.680 a time of year you're gonna need need it. Yeah, 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.800 that's gonna be in here and they're gonna need it too. Yeah. 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.400 That's I'm saying. That's gonna be a really interesting and 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:40.560 I know this in that cold House stadium. That's what 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.240 I'm saying is did we go to that one time? 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.600 One time? And yeah, like I think Randall Cunningham didn't 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.080 want to play that day, and and then and then 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.440 I got lost. We're staying there at the gay Lord, 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.160 greatest hotel ever, and it was like it's like being 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.720 in an airport, Like I didn't know how to get 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.800 to the front door. I didn't mean I'm literally trying 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.040 to meet people for go to dinner, Like where are 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.880 you I I go, I don't know I'm sowhere in 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.600 this hotel, just like I don't know, I don't know 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.160 where I am. But but yeah, that that place, that stadium, 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.360 it's cold, the fans are mean. I mean, what's gonna 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.400 be called in Minnesota this week? Lucky Lucky? Thing is 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.240 good outside? It will yeah, yeah, you mean in Tennessee 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.280 or Minnesota. Man, sound was pretty good. It's so good 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.880 too because it's still open air. Yeah, it is open air. 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.960 And they have you talk about you talk about the 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:32.039 one job in life that just absolutely doesn't matter. It's 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:35.120 the guy that does the PA announcing in the pres 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.640 Minnesota that is over shadowed by all of the sounds. 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.720 So so it's just like Dralvin Cook four yardcare you know, 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.200 to the twenty six like, and you're gonna be trying 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:46.760 to type that stuff in. You're not gonna hear it 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.200 all you are. You just better find you better before 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:50.800 the game start. You better figure out where it is 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.760 on the on the board, because that's where you're gonna 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.200 have to look. This is the stadium where Derek's gonna 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:59.160 pull out his phone, open up his little decibel app 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:05.760 out how many disabels? Yeah, out of this last year 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.200 and then he'll show me. He's like, look you see him. 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.719 Last year. I was really surprised how and it's different 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.120 minnesotaesan not having the season they are this year, but 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.920 I was really surprised how many Cowboy fans there were 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.160 last year. I mean, there were a lot. Why is it? 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.560 Why was that shocking? Though? Well, I think you get 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.479 some carry over from what you saw in Green Bay 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.920 getting over those Midwest fans. You kind of giving him 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.680 a back to back taste your football time. Well, but 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.120 easier to stay in Minneapolis than it is to stay 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.680 in Green Bay. But this team, though, I mean they're 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.760 eight and one, I mean they're they're having a great season, 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.719 and they definitely you know, and they're that's that irritating 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.000 place to play in this that I saw. It was 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.400 first time since like nineteen seventy six that a team 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.719 that's eight and one or better with their starting quarterback 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.920 is an home underdog underdog. Yeah, it's just I'll tell 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.800 you what I've learned this that I've learned this, I've 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.960 learned this about doing radio. Vegas is usually right on 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.760 these things, right, and here I am. I'm gonna probably 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.560 go against them, but they're right about a lot of things, 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.279 so they play the analytics game. Look, yeah, I'm coming 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.720 off a week where the folks in Vegas said that 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.120 my college team would win by seven, yeah, and we 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.640 lost by ten. Yeah. So yeah, I'm not I'm not. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.800 You're not buying it, all right, I'm not buying right now. Yeah. Well, 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.640 I'm coming off a team where Vegas, Vegas said that 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.799 my team would lose by three and a half points 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.159 to LSU and lost by three, lost by three. Yeah, 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.760 I guess it happens. It does happen. This is just 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.080 such a hard place to play. It is it's a 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.040 hard place to play, and they got a good team, 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.279 and it's it and if you don't handle it, they 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.760 can make you look really bad. That's exactly right, all right, 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.039 So let's jump in. Let's talk a little bit about injuries. First. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.360 There are four guys that I want to get some 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.840 updates on. Let's start first with TENK Lawrence. What are 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.000 we hearing about him and his injury and his possibility 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.360 of playing this week. I was told yesterday that he 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.560 should be fine. You know, now, where I think we're 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.520 to the end of the kind of getting to the 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.560 point of the season where Tank's really not interested in 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:09.120 practicing a little bit, you know. He's like, yeah, I mean, 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.320 you know, but that you know that the word I 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.320 got on Tank was he should be fine. And then 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.840 I always remember, like I heard that Sam Williams was 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.360 fine and then he's inactive that Sunday, So you know, yeah, 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.720 I mean, take it. What is I don't think they 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.920 would let him play with a fractured foot if that's 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.400 what people are talking about right now, or fractures or 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.000 problems with fractures or whatever. So but the quote was 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.360 I have all intention of having him play. That was 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.240 what McCarthy just said. Yeah, McCarthy's played the game all 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.000 year long, where you know, I mean, he's getting to 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.480 the point where some of the stuff that Mike says 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.120 when it comes to injuries is not really that accurate. 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.160 I mean, and he's trying, and he's trying to do that, 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.520 like he's that's that's the plan. So but he did 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.920 say that, and like, that's what Tank said. But when 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:58.320 you mentioned and I'm speaking about Tank, when he stands 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.640 up there in front of the media, he mentions my foot, 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:05.120 well actually both feet and then my foot, so it's like, whoa, Okay, 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.280 that's a lot. Then you in that within that same sentence, 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.640 you hear, but my intention is to play this week, 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.840 and you're like, what, like, how how does that work? 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.239 And we know a lot of players play hurt, especially 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.440 this part of the season, but damn that sucks. But 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.880 you're trying to talk about the running defense. He's one 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.160 of the best players. I think that's the one got 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.240 You can't lose if you have problems with the run 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.719 right now, that's how you head your bets. You know, 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.040 that's what you do. You get two tackles for now, 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.160 he's like, and delAG got two tackles and he's dealing 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.520 with like four injuries right now. But if he gets 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.800 six tackles and two sacks and a forced fumble, then 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.480 you're like, look the warrior, the tank is and he's 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.959 doing all that. That's what happens. That's that's what you do. 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.280 He's gonna play. I think he's gonna play. All right, 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.000 let's move on. Give me a zeke. Like my kids 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.240 over there looking at the phone, I'm sorry, kid complain. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.160 We got us no king news over there. We got 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.559 phone callers and I'm trying to get all that coming in. 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.040 Zeke um I do feel like he's going to play. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.079 I mean, just why what he was saying yesterday, And 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.040 you know, I thought it was interesting he said, this 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.600 is a different injury. This is this is different than 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.320 what he's had before. Uh, and not the same as 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.199 last year, even though it kind of feels like it 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.679 is because it's also knee and it's middle the same 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.079 about the same time of year. But you know, we 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.120 saw the injury from the press box. We saw the 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.400 tackle against the Lions. Yeah, now he did go back 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.199 in the game, but you could just see and we're 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.199 one way there by, you know, Saturn, and like we 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.439 could see like that. That's just awkward looking and so 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.640 but you know, he's he's tough, and I think it's 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.560 gonna be it's gonna be interesting to see how they 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.719 they get him and Pollard in there together. I think 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.559 what you've seen out of Pollard the last two games 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.920 suggest that, I don't know, if you do it the 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.720 same way. I think maybe Pollard gets a lot more 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.320 carries than he has been and and maybe they manage 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.120 it a little bit more. I'd like to see a 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.400 flip in the in the number. Yeah, I think people 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.880 are asking for the flip I'm okay with Zeke for three, 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.040 Zeke for four, Zeke for four, zek for three, and 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.440 then Pollard for eighteen. You know, I mean if I'm 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.960 okay with that. But you know what, the one thing 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.440 they've learned this year is to get Pollard in there. Earlier, 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.480 it used to be like we talked about the one 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.320 series and if it went three and out, we wouldn't 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.280 see him until the next second half. They figured out 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.240 that this guy, legitimately, you can hand him the ball 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.600 twenty something times and he's going to be just fine. Yeah, 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.680 And I actually I don't necessarily need to see a flip. 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.880 I think, let's be honest, they were running the ball 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.040 all season with the formula that they had and he 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:33.840 was working well. So I think you can they win 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.080 that game if, in my opinion, they win that game 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.000 if if Elliott plays, Yeah, just because I felt like 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.439 that they would go and take a different path for 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.599 how to run the ball. Well, you did see a 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.640 Dak take with three quarterback sneaks. Yeah, yeah, and he's 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.400 probably only done that once or twice this year, maybe 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.480 a couple more times than that, and played a lot. 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.480 I get that, But I mean, I just feel like 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.520 those third and ones they were you know, even one 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.600 of them was a long one, almost two, and they 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.120 still got it with Dak So I feel like they 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.160 weren't even giving paular To that opportunity. But I probably 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.320 don't do that, Zeke's I told you early in the game, 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.400 I was like, I want to see Malik Davis. I 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.120 don't think he'd even played yet. I was like, well, 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:12.600 I'm like, I want to see him because I think 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.920 he fits this type of game. So I think he's 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.439 He's a good runner too. I like him. He'll be 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.880 good next year when he's the guy. What do you 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.240 get that one series where they used him a lot 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.640 and he had some big, big what you're not wrong? 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.480 I mean people are asking me about the same thing 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.360 you just said. Kind of yeah, it's implied. Yeah, I 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.920 mean that in draft a third round running back. Okay, 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.800 there we go. You know that's how I can tell 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.240 you this. I don't think that if you know, obviously, 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.000 Paul It is a free agent. I don't think Paul 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.839 It's gonna get a nice contract. I don't think he's 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.679 a huge contract guy. I don't think he's gonna get 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.360 a nice contract. And they pay Zeke what they're on 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.959 the hook to pay Zeke. So the Dad answers your question, 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.440 they won't. They won't do that. I think they'll keep Zeke. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.160 I think they may just pay him lest get a 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.640 tank deal where it's like we're paying you less. Yeah, 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.959 doesn't it looks like it's a guarantee deal. It's really 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.520 a pay cut. So hopefully, you know, and we'll pay 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.280 a lot of front and make you feel good about it. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.959 I'll tell you. Tony Pollard's contract is going to be 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.320 a very interesting deal around the league, whatever whoever does, 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.560 because he's still a fifth year running back and he's 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.120 and he's he's, you know, not the biggest back in 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.040 the world. So he's fifth year guy. What do you 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:21.600 do with that? What do you what do you pay? 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.439 I mean that that is not going to be He's 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.000 gonna end up at the Dolphins and have a great career. Oh, 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.160 I'm sure he will. I mean, somebody will figure out 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.800 how to take him like that guy down in Miami, 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.240 or somebody will figure it out. I mean, I think 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.640 I think they're just a little late to the a 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.520 little late with him. Yeah. I don't think he'll be 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.880 someone's number one though, But yeah, but they'll do. But 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:43.559 they have to try to pay him like that. That's 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.800 that's what's tricky. I think they'll they'll somebody's gonna say, 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.240 I want him to be like Swift and Detroit with 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.600 the other back that I've got, which is still good. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.440 What do you pay for that? They'll pay him more 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.600 than they'll pay him in Dallas. That's that's the thing. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.240 I agree. And that's not going to be premium running 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.480 back money, I don't think. But that's the end point, 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.360 Kate Will. In today's NFL, where most teams do a 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.760 dual back system, are you gonna have to start paying 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.800 premium money for whoever's in that duel back? Now I'm 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:10.920 starting to run the ball more than the league now, Yeah, 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.960 we're starting. Running backs are starting to have a new life. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.320 You know, if everybody's gonna be real small up front, 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.720 they're gonna figure out ways to you know, you can 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.840 have I'll tell you what, it's going to save teams 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:22.880 money running the football. You go ahead and pay the 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.280 back because offensive line play, what I've learned is you 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.720 can have five just guys that might be bad pass blockers, 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:31.959 but can find a way to run block. You know, 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:33.880 and that's how teams are kind of moving the ball. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.240 And that's why you know, you're I know, kind of 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.920 way off the topic here, but offseason talking here. But 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.480 that's what the Cowboys have to realize, is that there's 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.120 not many teams in about a year or two that's 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.439 gonna have Okay, we gotta I think they'll have a 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.600 top ten quarterback in uh In Dak and then they'll 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.600 have the highest paid corner in the league, the highest 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.839 paid defensive player in the league, I would think, and 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:00.719 then you know, you gotta deal with all these other 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.559 other high price contracts. So that's why you don't trade 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.920 for Brandon Cooks because you got to have these picks. 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.199 You gotta have that third or fourth round pick. You 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.199 gotta hit on these guys and you got they have 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.800 to be starters for you, and they have. They've done 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:16.959 a good job with the draft. Tell me what we're 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.640 looking at with Anthony Brown and Anthony Barr the Abs. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.040 I think both are okay, both are gonna play, I believe. 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.280 I haven't heard any different. Brown hasn't been cleared yet, 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.920 but he will be. I think he will be. Here's 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.960 a big sign for that they made him available to 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:35.160 the to the media yesterday. They Anthony Brown. Yeah, if 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.200 guys that have concussion, they have never been available to 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.600 the media until they're really cleared to go already. No, 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.200 I don't think he's been cleared for practice practice in full, 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.960 but that will happen today. But the fact that he 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:47.800 was talking to the media and that they had that, 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.320 that's a good sign he'll be there. And I think 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.480 it's gonna take a lot to get Anthony barrd not 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.240 to come back and play this game. Yeah, he didn't 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:55.360 say it on the record, but after the game I 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:56.920 heard him saying in the locker room he was fine. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.280 He's like, I could have gone again the game, but 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.400 they just would let me. And obviously Brown, Yeah, And 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.120 that's the way it should work. Once you have that 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.280 that that symptom, once you have that any inkling that 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.400 that's the case, get him out of the game. Don't 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:08.800 let him back in, even if they think they can 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:10.360 come back and play. You know, it's funny how five 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.720 days can make because at first, you know, he gives 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:14.680 up a pass to a guy that I hadn't heard 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.040 of um ever, and I was like, a far a 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.760 touchdown and I don't even remember if you mentioned it 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.440 in your I mean like you were mentioning him in 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.680 the receivers. I'm sure you mentioned it. No, he's had 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:29.000 he's had five touchdowns in two games, That's what I mean. 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:31.200 I was like, he gives up a touchdown, you're like 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.720 probably seriously. And then now like the guys on him, 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.480 you know, Andy Moss like type, you know numbers. So 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.600 it's like, Okay, I don't feel so bad anymore. Like 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.600 now he's like a fantasy stuff. He is a good 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.120 player in North Dakota State. I mean when he's from Tampa. 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:48.680 His dad was a dad was an NFL player second 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.000 round pick, right, yeah, and you're kind of thinking like, well, 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.160 how did this kid not end up at you know, 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.600 one of those SEC schools. How does he a Florida 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.440 State or something like that. He kind of went through 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.480 the cracks or he's a Tampa kid. So I'll say this, 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.040 that touchdown he caught last night, it's impressive, Like he 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.680 skied up for that one. So he's got some skill 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:07.960 and then confident player right now, you know, coming out 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:09.600 of small school maybe that's part of it. Just took 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.640 him a little while to kind of get there. And 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.400 now looks like he started to figure it out. Small 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.720 school that comes down here and wins the national championship 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.400 every year, every freak. Those people up there in North 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.120 Dakota are paying taxes down here now. They're here so much. 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.000 They show up in their green and yellow. They know, 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:24.960 they know that they know the area better than me, Like, 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:26.360 can you tell me I go up to you tell 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.040 me what eating?

FCS is the division 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.360 one double A used to be. And they North Dakota 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.920 State is like the power. They come down here every 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.000 year FRISCO every year the championship here.

That was one of the 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.800 Sorry sorry I should have let you finish at the 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.200 Star Feel free go. I was gonna say that was 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.760 one of my favorite pieces of content, the one y'all 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.960 did um several It's been a while, but it was 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:56.440 with Lyell dresses and he went to the stadium ly 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.480 Elf on the shelf. That's what it was, wasn't it. 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.439 I don't know if they did this elf, but they 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:05.440 said il li Elf was his character. Nice. That's pretty good. 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.760 I guarantee you yeah, they haven't. No one's ever had 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.520 that costume that day, you know, no one's ever like 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.399 ordered that on Amazon. I need the three X please 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.800 for the elf rint that one. I'm guessing I had 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:19.879 to have to have to have that made for him, 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.679 not rented forgot about that one. All right, let's get 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.280 a phone call. We got a phone call from Rob 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.800 actually first of all, second segment, but by second segment 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.240 brought to you by blockchain dot Com. Let's get to 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:31.639 the phone lines. I got a call from Rob in 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.520 Las Vegas. Rob, what up? Hey? Long time? No talk? Yeah? 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.400 You doing? I'm good? Yeah? Never better get those wise 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:44.520 guys in Vegas. No. You know, looking at this game, 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.480 to me, Dak needs this game even more than the 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.640 team he you know, he's hearing he can't beat good 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:55.760 teams quarterbacks. And I think the recipe is simple. He 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.720 just needs to throw less and run more. When he runs, 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:05.000 even like against Chicago, they just look so different. And 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.760 I don't mean it's like he doesn't run anymore like 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.240 he used to, but you have to force him. That 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.280 designed run that they did buy the goal line, maybe 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:17.080 from ten yards out in Chicago was great. I think 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:19.320 they need to do more like that, especially in the 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.960 red zone. And and I just think that's when he 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:28.200 is really a top ten quarterback, is when you combine 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.800 his legs with his arm. If he's just going to 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.720 stand in the pocket, I think we're just losing out 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:38.640 on too much stuff, and I think he's just an 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:42.680 average QB. So I just hope they they get it, 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.879 you know, and they just see that, Hey, listen, we 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.400 gotta get this guy. Run him. So get about the contract, 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:50.679 forget about how much money, so get about the angle. 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.720 And I just think if he does that, this team 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.840 to be really really good. As thanks to call, I 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.520 agree one, I do. I don't know. We've talked about it. 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.080 I just and I just I don't know what is it? 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:07.399 I mean, that's one thing you just don't know, is it? 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:09.720 Is it the Cowboys saying that is it? Dak's saying 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:11.960 that he is. He just doesn't feel like he's got it. 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:15.159 Is he not comfortable? But he has never been a 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:17.439 guy that could stand in the pocket and make throws 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.440 that like the other guys. That's not his game. That's 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:23.000 why he was drafted where he was drafted sum But 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.159 he was, you know, he was, he was. He's a 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.840 baller though, like like that's what he is. He just 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.040 like he's a guy that flips over the top in 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:33.119 Arizona for a touchdown or against Seattle where he just 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:35.159 bust through people, and like that's him. He was a 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:39.200 tank playing quarterback. I remember the game against Denver Week two, 0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:43.160 twenty seventeen. They lost by like twenty five points. Yeah, 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:44.520 and at the end of the game, he throws a 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:48.440 picks to to leave maybe or somebody was running a 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.000 hundred yards and he's over there fighting through blockers at 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:53.040 the end and diving and all that. And I remember 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.359 thinking like that, that's my quarterback right there, Like he's 0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:59.760 a football player playing quarterback, and right now I think 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.320 he's a quarterback playing quarterback and he needs to be 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.600 that football player again because that's what makes him who 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.920 he is. And he's got to get that back. If not, 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.480 then he's he's getting paid too much money, honestly, because 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:15.840 he's not the same type of thrower. Like he's just 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.560 not a thrower like the rest. He's got to be 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:20.960 in the game, feeling it and all that. I hope 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:23.720 he gets it back. All right, let's get a had 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:25.560 a couple of questions for you guys about the matchup 0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:28.879 Cowboys versus Vikings. First question at for you guys, if 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:31.119 you have to make the decision, do you travel digs 0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:35.280 with Jefferson? Yes, most of the time, Yeah, most of it. 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:36.480 He did a good job by the one in the 0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.040 radio this morning talking about that. Thank you. But but 0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:43.040 I'm trying to think what I said. But you were 0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:45.640 saying that it's something you need to consider at Yeah, 0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.239 I mean just but what does that caveat? You say 0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:51.040 most of the time, when would you not just because 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:52.720 once you get I think I don't think you do 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:55.040 anything all of the time other than you know, play 0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:57.560 your quarterback or whatever. But like just because teams get 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:00.160 a read on that, and then and Feeland's pretty I'm 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:05.080 good on the other side. Sure, yeah, so yeah you 0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:07.920 got some Yeah, so I would I kind of trick 0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.240 it up a little bit. But but for the most part, yeah, 0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:13.159 it's it's if you if you did last year. The 0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:15.960 Vikings are a team that they'll they'll run the ball, 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:18.320 but it's not the most important thing to them. You know, 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.240 they're really down on carries when when you talk start 0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:23.879 to talk about the numbers that they have during and 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:26.040 one of the things that they struggle with is when 0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:30.240 you can get pressure on Cousins. But thirty eight percent 0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:31.760 of the time, guy hate when I do this, but 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.200 I'm gonna do it. Thirty eight percent of the time 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:37.000 when he's under pressure, he throws the ball to Jefferson. 0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:40.360 You know, so if your game plan is to attack 0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:44.119 him by pass rush, then by all means, put your 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.720 best guy on Jefferson. If thirty eight percent of the 0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:48.680 game of the time he's going to throw the ball 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:52.239 in that guy's direction, I'm denying him every opportunity did 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:54.600 to do it. And I think the guy that has 0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:58.119 the best opportunity to deny the football is Diggs. You know, 0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:01.640 Diggs is Diggs is going to look at that number 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.080 eighteen and he's not going to be scared. He goes, 0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:08.280 I've seen you at LSU, I've played against you before. 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.280 I know who you are. I've seen you run routes, 0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:14.920 whereas the others are kind of like, man, this guy 0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:16.960 all I see is highlights every week and him like 0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:19.200 catching balls over the top of people and doing the 0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.200 giddy and all that stuff like that. You know, that's 0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:25.680 all It's called gritty. What's it called gritty? Yeah, Okay, 0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:27.919 he's doing the gritty, you know, And so I mean 0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:30.800 that's all you ever see. So you get scared of that. 0:25:31.440 --> 0:25:34.600 You get scared, and I'm kind of like, I don't 0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:36.240 want to see him doing that, you know, And and 0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:40.960 me putting Diggs over on him if I lose the 0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:44.680 battle because it's digs covering him, so be it. I 0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.040 need to drop better corners. But man, I ain't going 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:48.800 to see him do that little dance in the end zone. 0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:54.600 Not not not on my watch today. Um gritty right, gritty? Yeah, yeah, 0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:57.800 he looks giddy when you do it. Chance could get 0:25:57.840 --> 0:26:00.359 you to do the gritty Brian, No, because you gotta. 0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:02.399 I think you could do this part right. Don't you 0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.440 put your off your hands? Why do you do that? 0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:10.440 What is that? What's the symbol? At? Okay? Okay? And 0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:12.760 then they were doing it back in La. They're doing 0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:15.399 a shoe That was always shoe or it became a 0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:17.240 thing that the NFL or any other guys are doing. 0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:19.119 They would do he was, but now they fake like 0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:21.520 a hamstring injury. Now a new one is they kind 0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:23.280 of do it and then they fake an injury and 0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:25.560 then they start doing it again. Yeah. So, I mean 0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:27.560 I've seen him do that. He gets in the end zone. 0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:28.960 I don't want to see him fake in the hands 0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:31.640 an industry and an injury. I'm sure right, Oh yeah 0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:33.320 I could fake. But then I could do that too, 0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.160 because every once while he'll do it and then he'll 0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:37.560 throw the eyes. That's gonna be an owner that has 0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:40.200 like you know, like gonna have like a panic attack 0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:42.400 or you know whatever, because he sees like their star 0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:44.320 player down there with a fake injury, Like what what 0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:46.760 you fake? You fake? You fake? He got He did 0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:48.919 it last week in Buffalo and he got bumped by 0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:51.440 a lineman. O'Neill bumped him, and then he got mad 0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:53.960 at O'Neil, like, bro, I didn't finish. I was doing 0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:56.760 my fake injury and then I was going into it 0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:00.600 and he and O'Neil's like, ah, you know what, I've 0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:03.440 always had this this thought, like I'm just curious on 0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:07.520 I'm covering with seven. I'm sorry on a Saturday night 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:09.879 in the hotel room, you know, working on are they 0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:12.560 moving the bed like to the side and clearing out 0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:16.320 some space and like really working on this? And you know, okay, 0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:18.600 you got you twelve, come over here and we're gonna 0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:20.440 you be the bowling ball and I'm gonna throw you 0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:22.639 down and you know I'm gonna hog tie. You know, 0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:25.760 you get down the five score you know you're not scoring, Okay, 0:27:25.800 --> 0:27:27.800 well if you score, you know, I mean like there's 0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:30.840 and then there's probably some great, great things that happened 0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:33.280 mentioned like some of the receivers we had back in 0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:36.679 the day. What if like ken Yon Rambo and Reggie Swinton, 0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:39.000 we're talking about something you're not gonna score, you know, 0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:42.200 like you got and then were these great pointers that 0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:45.360 are these great players that have these dances that never came. 0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:48.119 All right, go back to the collar that rob from Vegas. 0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:51.760 What's a number that you'd like to see dak rushing yards? 0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:54.280 Like what let's say what would be a good number 0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:56.800 for a game? Forty five is exactly where I was going. 0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:00.600 How many games as you had? Forty five? Three? So 0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:03.280 can we go a little how about thirty? That go 0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:05.320 too high? Yeah? I have a little bit the thirty. 0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:12.840 Let's go with let's go with thirty two? Yeo, thirty two. Okay, 0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:17.080 he's got, he's got, he's got. He's got sixteen games there, 0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:20.920 all right, he's thirteen and three when he gets that that, 0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:23.840 you know, thirteen and three, he's three and at forty 0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:26.159 five number, so yeah, that that's good. But he's not 0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:28.679 and he's six and fourteen. If he throws for more 0:28:28.800 --> 0:28:30.919 forty passes a game, is that what it is? I think? 0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:34.399 So six six to fifteen, six and fourteen. I love 0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:38.080 this website. How many passes yard forty four more than 0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:42.280 forty passes more forty forty past six temps. Yeah, it's twenty. 0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:47.120 Uh see a lot of els there. Yeah, one, two, three, four, five, 0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:51.640 six win yeah, six and fourteen. Yeah, I mean you know, 0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:54.560 I actually do it, like seriously like that. That's frustrating too, 0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:57.920 because that's that was six and thirteen before that game. 0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:02.360 It's and yeah, but well, let me throw this question 0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:05.040 there because it's actually a question that Art Wila just 0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:08.880 sit in. Actually, he says, Kellen's consistent failure to commit 0:29:08.960 --> 0:29:11.760 to the run is maddening. At what point does McCarthy 0:29:11.800 --> 0:29:13.280 sit him down and tell them to stick to the 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.520 run or else, because I do think as the head coach, Yeah, 0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:18.760 at some point, and by the way, he got him 0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:20.720 to buy in while the backup quarterback was in there. 0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:25.000 For some reason last week that message didn't get sent before. 0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.360 It wasn't They didn't think it was as important. And 0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:29.840 and to me, I look at it and say, it's 0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:33.160 still that is how you win football games this season 0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.480 with this team. What do you guys think of kind 0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:39.520 of where the blame really lies? Here, Well, it lies 0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:41.160 with the head coach. I mean, because if it's on 0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:43.000 your watch, so you've got to do it, and you've 0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:45.840 got to figure it out. And you know you're you're 0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.600 over here talking about everything. You're talking about cleats and 0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:50.760 and and you know what time you're going to get 0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:52.600 here and there and all these things about it. But 0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:54.600 it all it's with you, I mean you as the 0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:56.320 head coach. And he's got he's got to be the 0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:59.280 guy to do that um and pull back the reins. 0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:01.840 If if you don't understand, Brian, You've said it for 0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:04.280 that every year I've been on the show with you, 0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:05.960 you say it all the time. As a head coach, 0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.360 you've got to know your team and you got to 0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:12.760 know that Terrence Steele and Tyler Smith and Tyler Biadish 0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:15.520 and probably Zack Martin, they're better run blockers than they 0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:18.320 are pass blockers. And the runners are better than the receivers. 0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:20.040 Right now, they got better backs and they have receivers 0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:23.440 even winzeks out so and and and Dak's a better 0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:25.240 game manager than he is a guy that's going to 0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:27.120 throw it around the yard. And it's better to run 0:30:27.200 --> 0:30:29.600 in that and that kind of conditions than throw. So 0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:31.880 how the heck do you get into situations where I 0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:33.680 don't know? You got an MVP, You got an MVP 0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:35.840 and the two time MVP that that figured it out 0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:38.239 and he only threw it twenty times? Yeah, well did 0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:40.600 he or did his offensive coordinator say this is what 0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:42.520 we're going to do, or his head coach this is well, 0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:46.080 well he's been fired, if you know, tell him. I 0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:48.520 think Green Bay. I think Green Bay season. Even though 0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:50.960 their season I think is over now, their season was 0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:52.680 on the line. I was talking to their guys about 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.000 They're like, we're not capable of running the ball. We're 0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:58.080 not capable running Monday morning, who were the first calls 0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:00.280 I got were, hey, man, I don't know. I'm like, 0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:04.040 watch the damn film. Yeah, Dallas has trouble defending the run. 0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:06.800 You guys got two legitimate backs. I mean, why would 0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:08.760 you not run the ball? And they go, well, you 0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:10.560 know we got a quarterback. I'm like, well call you know, 0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:13.800 that's why that's how you win games right there, and 0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:16.840 because you take it damage and Rockers figured it out too. 0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:18.560 It's like, I know a way where we can run 0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.400 the ball and I could throw it to you sideways 0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:23.520 where I could still get the passing yards and the 0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.680 completion percentage for it, and it's still considered a pass. 0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:29.000 But you know you mentioned a little earlier, Brian, you 0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:31.040 were talking about the Vikings and you were saying, like 0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:34.480 they just they don't they don't commit to the run themselves, 0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:36.160 like they love their passing games. Well they do. I 0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:38.000 wonder if this is the week what they do like 0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:39.560 green based as and even though they may not do 0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:41.640 a moment times they look at this team and say, oh, 0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:43.880 this is just too easy, maybe not too easy, not 0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:48.040 too and they're going to commit. Very frustrating is and 0:31:48.440 --> 0:31:51.160 most of us we have we have been we've watched 0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:53.800 the game from the sideline and we've watched the game 0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:56.880 from the press box, so we have very very different 0:31:57.000 --> 0:32:00.880 views from the game at times birdeye's view and just aside. 0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:04.080 So it is hard to coach a game when you're 0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:07.640 just watching a sideline like from here and trying to 0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:10.120 figure out and we know he has his headset, he 0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:13.800 communicates with other people. So it comes down to me 0:32:14.080 --> 0:32:17.480 like it is hard to know exactly everything that like 0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:20.920 what it looks like from that point of view, So 0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:23.400 what are you getting that? Because I feel like us 0:32:23.480 --> 0:32:25.880 on the press box, we're usually like, why are they 0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:27.800 doing that? Why do they keep doing this? Or why 0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:29.680 do they keep doing that? Why aren't they not trying 0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.960 this instead? Like it seems very simple to the people 0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:36.880 that are watching from maybe TV or up there up 0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:41.280 high as opposed to what he's like, what they're actually emotions. 0:32:41.680 --> 0:32:44.400 Emotions on the sideline play a big part of that 0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:47.640 of how play calling people always say this. They say. 0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:49.800 Play callers always say I want to be able to 0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:52.160 look into the quarterback and sit with him and talk 0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:54.280 with him, or I want to sit Dan Quinn's like 0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:58.000 the opposite. Dan's like your approach, Dan. Dan wants to see, Okay, 0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:00.560 this is how they're attacking me, and I can get 0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:03.640 a full and then you don't get distracted. You don't 0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.720 get distracted by being on the sideline, by the emotions 0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:09.840 we have. Tom Brady take the path and humming into 0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.719 the bench and you're sitting down going, I don't think 0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:15.320 he's too happy with me right now. You know, maybe 0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:17.800 I should think, yeah, maybe we should do something differently 0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:19.880 here where if you're upstairs you could like kind of 0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:22.640 take your headphones off and and not pay attention to 0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:25.680 what's going on kind of regroup, you know. I think 0:33:25.760 --> 0:33:27.880 that's to me. If I was a play call i'd 0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:29.880 want to be upstairs. I'd want to be able to 0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:33.120 see substitutions and things like that. I mean, they're talking 0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:35.520 to you and all that. But the emotion of the 0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:39.600 bench affects play callers, I think in a negative way 0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:41.840 in times. I really really do. I would like to 0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:44.560 just see a change in that. And I don't know 0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:46.880 what you do. I mean, what take tell I'm more 0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:49.280 up there because it is important too to be able 0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:52.280 to have that face to face communication during the game. 0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:54.240 So it's difficult. But at the same time, I think 0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:57.240 you see things more clearly from up there, and you 0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:01.400 get a better idea of what's worth what's not versus 0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:03.920 what you're seeing from the sideline. Yeah, you can see 0:34:03.920 --> 0:34:05.360 the full field. I mean that's what we all know. 0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:07.120 Being up there in the press box. You can see 0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:09.440 the full field. You can see every player on the 0:34:09.560 --> 0:34:12.000 field at one moment. When you're on the sideline, you 0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:13.920 can only see what's there. You can't see what's on 0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.920 the other side necessarily as clearly. Well too, that's substitution 0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.000 patterns too, Like you can like from the play car. 0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:21.040 You can look down as your guys are coming on, 0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:23.800 you see who they're sending on, so you know immediately 0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:26.720 what they're in down on the field. You don't always 0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:30.080 get that that vantage point of knowing unless somebody upstairs 0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:32.719 is telling you they got nickelon. They got nickelon, and 0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:35.600 you're now you're having to adjust where before. If you're upstairs, 0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:37.960 you can see what they're how they're substitute. You know, 0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:40.399 we have thirty seven coaches, so I mean, I'm sure 0:34:40.520 --> 0:34:43.480 there's there's enough. You win three Super Bowls with like twelve, 0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:45.960 I think, yeah, total or eight something like. It's some 0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:48.360 crazy number. I tell you. What's amazing, though, is that 0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:51.160 I don't I think NBA's got more coaches than the 0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:54.120 call than pro football. Now, they got a lot. I 0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:57.520 mean he's going to mask, well, well they have two. 0:34:57.560 --> 0:34:59.279 They have two rows of coaches. I'm talking about in 0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:01.440 the background BA and the NBA has got more than 0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:03.800 pro football. I mean, I mean it's about it's about equal. 0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:06.120 For the number of players you have, Yeah, you have weight, 0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:08.520 they don't. They have like twelve on their roster they do, 0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:10.480 and they have a they have a front bench in 0:35:10.560 --> 0:35:13.200 a back bench they've got and everybody has a job, 0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:16.520 Like one guy's job is to just yell out every 0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:18.520 time the shot clock is down to like eight and 0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:20.520 and that's like when the ball goes across, you know, 0:35:20.520 --> 0:35:23.000 it's a twenty four second, So you know, if you're 0:35:23.040 --> 0:35:26.040 ever lucky and a clock coach, Yeah, I could do that. 0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:28.560 I could do that. I could. You guys need to 0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:32.759 get the joes see five four, Okay, Nick is set 0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:34.320 in those before. Yeah, what you need to do is 0:35:34.480 --> 0:35:37.440 you said it once and that's what I remember all 0:35:37.480 --> 0:35:41.080 the time, and I remember yeah. And also the sit 0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:43.000 on the floor of an NBA game. It really really 0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.640 is cool. That's that's pretty awesome. It's pretty cool. And 0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:49.080 I at one time Dirk and Luca but right there, 0:35:49.120 --> 0:35:50.839 and it was it was the only year that they 0:35:50.880 --> 0:35:53.400 played together, and it was just like, and this is 0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:56.160 is pretty It was pretty cool. One time I did it. 0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:59.480 The Rockets were there and it was when Hardened Westbrook 0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:01.239 and all those guys are kind of down there the 0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:03.880 boat ratio. No, it's kind of fun to just to 0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:06.319 be there literally be in their huddle and like watch 0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:08.520 the coach breakdown a play and say, that's what we're 0:36:08.520 --> 0:36:13.840 gonna do experience coach, Yeah, did you try to do that? No, 0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:16.480 you try to coach it off on that. I don't 0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:19.239 know bad enough coaches to figure it out who's in 0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:20.759 the game and who's not.

She's like, oh, 0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:51.399 and I said, well, the game is at three twenty five, 0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:54.360 so I'll you know, I have to be there, so 0:39:55.160 --> 0:39:57.759 lunch and dinner. Basically, that kind of ruins that and 0:39:57.880 --> 0:40:01.719 she always gets mad. She's like, I'm not gonna say 0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:05.040 the word, but these cowboys, they don't care. All family time. 0:40:05.160 --> 0:40:10.520 They've always because holidays, I'll always altered by the cowboys. 0:40:10.680 --> 0:40:14.040 So she always brings it up, like I just need 0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:15.360 to move it to Friday. That's what we do. We 0:40:15.480 --> 0:40:20.320 just do that. I say, it's every year. I love it. 0:40:20.400 --> 0:40:23.239 I love that we work that game. I just like, 0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:25.520 I think it's my favorite holiday. I just love being 0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:28.960 a part of the tradition, you know, because I mean 0:40:29.280 --> 0:40:32.160 it's everybody's tradition. That's what they do all with And 0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:34.480 they'll tell you too. Every year at three o'clock we eat, 0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:36.560 you know, and that's good. But somebody's gonna play the game. 0:40:36.800 --> 0:40:39.560 You know, we watch NBA on Christmas Day. Well somebody 0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:43.640 and some families affected somebody. Yeah and so yeah, yeah, 0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:46.480 and it's it's a challenge. Did you get used to it? Yeah? Yeah, 0:40:46.760 --> 0:40:48.440 what we do. I mean we've built we've built our 0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:50.960 family tradition around that now. So our our family goes 0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:53.120 to the stadium on game day on Thanksgiving. It's the 0:40:53.160 --> 0:40:54.799 only day of the year my family goes to the game, 0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:56.520 but they go on Thanksgiving because that's just what we 0:40:56.560 --> 0:41:02.560 do because sometimes we do. Probably watching Buffalo Chargers, it 0:41:02.680 --> 0:41:04.719 doesn't matter. Oh well, we realized that back when they 0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:07.120 were the Redskins. That was that was not a pleasant No, 0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:10.960 Colpe McCoy. Was that ALP McCoy game? All that was 0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:15.480 RG three might RG three game? Yeah, back in twenty twelve. Yeah, 0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:18.120 that was a good But you know, let's not overlook 0:41:18.160 --> 0:41:21.000 date and one vikings here. I mean, we do have 0:41:21.040 --> 0:41:22.320 a game before we get the things. He's kind of 0:41:22.400 --> 0:41:25.400 moving on, all right, tell you what, let's let's get 0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:27.680 Let's get a couple more questions. We got a phone call. 0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:29.640 We'll take a phone call real quick. From Ray and 0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:33.440 fort Worth Ray, what you got um? A couple of things. 0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:36.359 I think Deck is too much of the blame here. 0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:39.600 I mean he's more than the game manager. As fans, 0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:41.960 we watched the game, but we don't really watch the 0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:47.400 game because when he threw that interception, if one intercepts, 0:41:47.440 --> 0:41:50.319 can't remember why but CD. But it's on the receivers too, 0:41:50.480 --> 0:41:53.840 because it's CD. The defender just lets CD Lamb go 0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:56.439 by because he just staring at Deck. If CD Lamb 0:41:56.800 --> 0:42:00.360 puts his goes across the defender's face with his body, 0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:02.640 then that guy never has a chance to come up 0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:06.279 and intercept the ball. But it's always Dak's fault, even 0:42:06.320 --> 0:42:09.920 though the offense had a fourteen point lead. Secondly, I 0:42:10.080 --> 0:42:13.879 like what Micah Parson said. I love it. We need 0:42:14.040 --> 0:42:17.160 more of it. We don't need to run him on 0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:20.000 the edge all the time, because that's to me if 0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:23.080 I'm if I'm a defensive coach, great send him on 0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:25.759 the edge. Great take him out the middle. You want 0:42:25.800 --> 0:42:27.799 to see how bad our run defense will be, how 0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:30.760 bad it will be the in The guy's a complete player. 0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:34.759 He can cover, he com blits, and he a lot 0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:38.680 of times running the sideline and sidelines. He's saved I've 0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:42.160 seen in two years, I've seen him saved, saved the 0:42:42.320 --> 0:42:46.359 defense from making even bigger mistakes. Now, you're right, Dak 0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:49.720 needs to probably run more. With guys like Zadarius Smith 0:42:49.800 --> 0:42:53.920 coming off, I mean especially, you know, I think that's 0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:56.319 gonna be a big player. He does need she uses 0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:59.360 legs more. I don't know. Maybe he's not completely healthy. 0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:01.600 I don't know, but I've seen in the past. I 0:43:01.680 --> 0:43:06.000 can't remember with one season he was just he had 0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:09.640 so many running touchdowns and he will be fine. I 0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:12.200 think fans need to back the hell off and really 0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:15.480 watch what you're seeing it. So why get watch the tape? 0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:19.440 All right? It just means all appreciate it. Appreciate it. 0:43:19.600 --> 0:43:22.080 Nax actually brings up a question that we got on Twitter. 0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:25.040 I think as well. Um, I'm trying to find it 0:43:25.160 --> 0:43:27.120 right here. Um, oh yeah, what would you guys, what 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:29.040 would you guys do with biker this week? Obviously last 0:43:29.040 --> 0:43:31.840 week they played about linebacker primarily, and the thought was 0:43:32.320 --> 0:43:34.000 you were facing a team you thought was gonna run 0:43:34.040 --> 0:43:35.920 the ball. That was a way of maybe using him 0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:37.880 a little bit more. Nick, you think it took him 0:43:37.920 --> 0:43:39.600 out of the game. A little bit more. What would 0:43:39.600 --> 0:43:41.520 you do with him in a game like this, Well, 0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:43.719 the first things first, I mean, I gotta I gotta 0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:46.800 stop the run. I gotta play a defense. Where where's 0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:48.879 he best If you're trying to stop the run, Well, 0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:52.520 he's not gonna be on the defensive end. He's gonna 0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:54.160 have to be a linebacker. I think I think he's 0:43:54.160 --> 0:43:56.880 gotta play linebacker. I think that that's what the focus 0:43:56.960 --> 0:43:59.279 has to be. Stop the run, get to that third 0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:01.759 down situation. Then you can figure out what you're gonna 0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:03.759 do different guys, and he can move around, move to 0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:06.640 the outside and all that. But um, I just think 0:44:06.719 --> 0:44:09.479 I think that it's a They're gonna have to figure 0:44:09.520 --> 0:44:11.560 it and figure that out. But but it starts with 0:44:11.880 --> 0:44:15.520 stop the run first, and if that's good and that 0:44:15.719 --> 0:44:17.880 that's what's scary, And that's what Brian's talking about, is 0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:20.200 that when you play a defense to stop the run, 0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:23.640 it's gonna leave you exposed to the receivers in the 0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:26.600 passing game. So this is gonna be this is definitely 0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:28.920 gonna be a tough matchup. But you gotta hope pride 0:44:29.400 --> 0:44:32.279 factors in here at some point. I play him opposite 0:44:32.600 --> 0:44:35.840 I would play him opposite of Tank, just because, and 0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:38.600 then I would think about playing I would think about 0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:42.480 playing Digs. If you travel Digs, put Digs on to 0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:45.399 the side of where somebody that can play the run, 0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:47.799 that plays it well, if it means him playing left 0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:51.439 corner where Tank is over there, or you know, put 0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:53.960 him on a side, because if you put you put 0:44:54.120 --> 0:44:56.759 Digs on the side where you have like armstrong and 0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:59.200 bash him in those guys, then all of a sudden 0:44:59.200 --> 0:45:02.120 you get hooked owner, you don't get linebacker inside and 0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:04.560 then you don't get outside Phil. So if you have 0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:08.080 somebody at the edge that could play the run, I 0:45:08.200 --> 0:45:11.319 would do that. I would put Parsons opposite If you're 0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:13.640 going to play him on the edge, play him opposite 0:45:13.760 --> 0:45:15.560 Tank and let him run the ball. Now he's had 0:45:15.600 --> 0:45:17.520 some problems when they've run the ball at him, but 0:45:17.680 --> 0:45:20.480 most likely teams are right handed, so you'll get the 0:45:20.560 --> 0:45:23.080 ball to go away from. So that would be Parsons 0:45:23.239 --> 0:45:25.640 chasing the ball, and I think that's where you're at 0:45:25.719 --> 0:45:28.440 where Tank can hold up. But I would put strength 0:45:28.560 --> 0:45:32.480 in front of Digs. So you know, if you put 0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:35.319 week with week with week, then you're gonna probably give 0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:37.560 up the edge more. But if you put him to 0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:39.520 the side where maybe you have some of your stronger 0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:42.520 run defenders, then you won't expose him too much to 0:45:42.640 --> 0:45:44.840 have to be a forced player as they're going to 0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:47.120 need him in this game. I'm just here, I mean 0:45:47.280 --> 0:45:50.600 for this game. Linebacker would be for me, But I'm 0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:54.480 curious to see what happens with hurt the Marcus Lawrence. 0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:59.160 And you know, right now it's looking like he's gonna 0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:02.200 play the game and all that, and he this is 0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:05.920 nothing new to him really, He's played through injuries before. 0:46:06.200 --> 0:46:10.360 But if his level of play drops down a little, 0:46:10.840 --> 0:46:14.720 you know, now I'm looking at the line completely different 0:46:14.960 --> 0:46:18.520 to where, Okay, would micaut be needed to add some 0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:23.839 something in there, some pressure from his play, but as 0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:26.080 a defensive end instead. You know, I also got to 0:46:26.080 --> 0:46:28.160 remember too, you know, DeMarcus is one of the more 0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:31.879 veteran players on this team. He knows what this week 0:46:32.080 --> 0:46:36.680 looks like more than anybody, and so you know, I think, yes, 0:46:36.760 --> 0:46:38.440 you put him on there. He's banged up, he's got 0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:43.160 some issues, but he's he's looking ahead. He knows that 0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:46.520 he's got to be somewhat healthy this week. Got to 0:46:46.560 --> 0:46:48.880 play the game, then we got a short week. You know, 0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:51.759 he's gonna from right now in six days, there's gonna 0:46:51.760 --> 0:46:54.200 be two football games being played. So he gets that 0:46:54.280 --> 0:46:56.520 because his body has felt it. So I think that's 0:46:56.560 --> 0:46:59.200 where some of it is. I think he's doing more 0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:04.160 maintenance on him himself and maybe understanding understanding that he's 0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:06.560 dealing with some stuff. And let's let's you know, because 0:47:06.560 --> 0:47:08.879 this team, I don't know what they lead the league 0:47:08.920 --> 0:47:11.239 in practice injuries. I don't know what's going on, but 0:47:11.280 --> 0:47:14.160 I mean there's things that like, oh well this flared 0:47:14.239 --> 0:47:16.520 up on Thursday's practice or something like that. So whatever 0:47:16.600 --> 0:47:19.920 they're doing Thursday, you know, that's probably a decent day 0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:22.920 to to not practice. But all right, we're gonna get 0:47:22.920 --> 0:47:24.680 our predictions. See what you guys think is gonna happen 0:47:24.680 --> 0:47:27.560 in is his game? Nicholas start with us. If if 0:47:27.640 --> 0:47:31.440 the if the Bills had just gotten the snap and 0:47:32.239 --> 0:47:35.359 moved forward and not lost that game in the at 0:47:35.360 --> 0:47:37.440 the very end of there and one, then I think 0:47:37.480 --> 0:47:39.799 it's a completely different game. I think you gotta hung 0:47:40.080 --> 0:47:43.440 an even hungry or Vikings team. Um they're figuring out 0:47:43.480 --> 0:47:45.960 how to win, but uh, it just that's not the 0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:49.520 way the league works, it cycles back through and it's 0:47:49.560 --> 0:47:51.319 time for a loss. So I think they're gonna lose 0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:53.160 the game. I do. I think that at eight and one, 0:47:53.200 --> 0:47:54.759 I don't think they're as good as their record in 0:47:54.800 --> 0:47:56.839 Minnesota gonna lose. Nono's gonna lose the game. I don't 0:47:56.840 --> 0:47:58.480 think there as good as their record. And I think 0:47:58.560 --> 0:48:00.919 that they they're playing these clothes games and the league 0:48:01.000 --> 0:48:03.080 isn't designed for you to keep winning these type of games. 0:48:03.400 --> 0:48:06.239 I think the Cowboys, um I think. I think the 0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:08.520 offense is actually look at what's happening in the last 0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:10.879 few games and Dacks come back. They're starting to figure 0:48:10.920 --> 0:48:12.719 it out. They lost last week twenty eight points on 0:48:12.800 --> 0:48:17.920 the road, forty two the week before. UM So I 0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:19.680 think they win thirty one thirty. I think it's gonna 0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:21.319 be a fun, high scoring game. I think they win. 0:48:21.440 --> 0:48:22.719 I figure out a way to win. I think the 0:48:22.800 --> 0:48:24.359 Vikings figure out a way to lose this one thirty 0:48:24.400 --> 0:48:32.239 one m I think I think the Cowboys win. They 0:48:32.320 --> 0:48:34.800 have a chance to win if and I think, to me, 0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:38.560 the key for this game is just start fast, like 0:48:38.680 --> 0:48:41.560 going there and play some football. Don't allow yourself to 0:48:41.719 --> 0:48:45.600 get fall behind or start a slow half of the game. 0:48:45.680 --> 0:48:49.120 You need to start fast right off the bat, so 0:48:49.960 --> 0:48:52.440 DAC needs to go in there and start just moving 0:48:52.520 --> 0:48:55.160 the chains. They can. They need to run the ball, 0:48:55.239 --> 0:48:57.440 like we keep talking about. But I think to me, 0:48:57.600 --> 0:49:00.160 that's the key. Just don't wait till the sec can 0:49:00.280 --> 0:49:03.760 have of the game for you to get your crap together, 0:49:04.080 --> 0:49:08.160 and by that time usually then stop being too late. 0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:10.719 So that's what happens, and I've seen it happen too 0:49:10.760 --> 0:49:13.120 many times. And I do think usually they play a 0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:17.200 very close game, so they can win if the offense scores. 0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:20.640 So I think maybe they win by a field goal. 0:49:20.680 --> 0:49:26.319 I don't know, I don't really know. They maybe twenty three, 0:49:26.560 --> 0:49:29.040 twenty one, something like that. But by a field Now, 0:49:29.200 --> 0:49:31.919 that's not even a field goal right there, I don't 0:49:31.960 --> 0:49:35.600 even Yeah, there you go, twenty four twenty one, right 0:49:35.760 --> 0:49:38.719 Minnesota wins this game. And because what happens is they 0:49:38.800 --> 0:49:42.520 force turnovers, and when you lose, you turn over the ball. 0:49:42.560 --> 0:49:45.640 Whether it's Philadelphia, whether it's the Green Bay, They're going 0:49:45.680 --> 0:49:47.480 to force you to make turnovers. You're playing in a 0:49:47.560 --> 0:49:50.680 really hostile environmental, very loud crowd. It's gonna be communication. 0:49:50.760 --> 0:49:53.719 The Cowboys have proven they've had problems with communication. Whether 0:49:53.719 --> 0:49:57.920 it's run defense, whether it's the receivers, quarterback, they've had problems. 0:49:58.200 --> 0:50:01.600 You know. To me, this is I don't like the 0:50:01.719 --> 0:50:04.960 matchup because I feel like though that there's too many things. 0:50:05.200 --> 0:50:07.400 This is a really good group of receivers and they 0:50:07.480 --> 0:50:10.239 found ways to make plays. This team doesn't get down 0:50:10.400 --> 0:50:13.600 when they're down. They find ways to win. And I 0:50:13.719 --> 0:50:17.680 think there's something too that whether it's luck, magic, whatever 0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:20.640 you want to call it, they found it. And so 0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:23.520 I think Dallas loses this game. I think it's gonna 0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:25.800 be twenty eight, twenty four. I just feel like that 0:50:25.920 --> 0:50:28.800 the Vikings just they're gonna they're gonna run their offense, 0:50:28.880 --> 0:50:32.040 and their offense is tough to stop. And again, communication 0:50:32.120 --> 0:50:35.040 problems on defense or on offense, for you could lead 0:50:35.040 --> 0:50:37.759 to turnovers. That's what the Vikings do. So I see 0:50:37.800 --> 0:50:41.320 them getting this home victory. Yeah, I actually think I 0:50:41.400 --> 0:50:43.040 agree with Nick. I think it's gonna be a high 0:50:43.040 --> 0:50:45.839 scoring game. I think that there's gonna be I think 0:50:45.920 --> 0:50:49.000 both teams will run the ball really well. I do 0:50:49.239 --> 0:50:51.239 think that both teams will have some big plays in 0:50:51.280 --> 0:50:53.800 the passing game, although the passing game won't be the 0:50:53.840 --> 0:50:55.479 story of the game. Game will be the both teams 0:50:55.560 --> 0:50:57.440 ran the ball well in my opinion, but I think 0:50:57.440 --> 0:50:58.840 it'll be a high scoring game. But they all be 0:50:58.880 --> 0:51:01.440 a lot of big plays. And I think the Cowboys 0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:03.399 end up winning on the road because I do believe 0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:06.520 they are the better team between these two teams. I 0:51:06.600 --> 0:51:09.000 think Cowboys win a close game thirty four thirty one 0:51:09.160 --> 0:51:11.680 on the road in Minnesota.
