Speaker 1: Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Welcome back to the Break guys. Uh,

8
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: Derek is not here today, so it's me hosting. We

00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: got Dave, we got Nick, and we got a good

10
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: show coming our way. So how are you guys feeling?

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: What an intro? Just get right to the point. None

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: of that fluff and the weird numbers and stuff. I'll like, Derek,

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: catch up on the numbers. I love it. That's all right.

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Eighty three Terrence Williams sweet feet. I needed to get

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: to eighty three though today. Eighty three Well, probably my

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: best friend that has ever played for the team. Like, like,

17
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: of all the guys that I've covered, I'm not really

18
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: friends with anyone except for one guy. Maybe a couple,

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: but um, James Whitlan, that's my guy. Okay, he's worn.

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: He's worn like six different numbers in his career, he

21
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: would kind of bounced around a little bit, but he

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: wore eighty three, and I was like, I'm kind of

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm kind of running out of numbers here. I think

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: he wore eighty one, eighty two, thirty five, forty six,

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: but he wore eighty three. I actually talked to him

26
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: yesterday a little bit, so James Whitlan, that's my guy.

27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: Eighty three. A lot of good ones though, Doug Donnelly,

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: you ever heard of him? No, No, I hate this

29
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: because like it just exposes me as a young person.

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: Terry Glenn, I was gonna say, feel if it exposes year,

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, r r ip Terry Glenn. And

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know he wore eighty three. He was a

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: good player. He was a really good player. I mean

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: he Bill Parcels brought him in and had a you know,

35
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: had a plan for him, and he was he was

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: a good player for for the Cowboys for a while.

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: There's a few like you know how when you're a kid,

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: like you watch football, but you're it's week like you're

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: not fully cognizant of what's happening. So maybe there's just

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: a few names that keep coming back to you and

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: Terry Glenn was one of those for me, just like

42
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: I just remember they would always call this. This was

43
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: more during his patriot years than his cowboy years. Another one,

44
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: she what's that she? When she Bill Parcels called him.

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: She Oh, no, I don't remember that. Yeah at yeah,

46
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm young, he said. He said, yeah, well, I think

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: she's gonna be okay. And so Amani tumor was another

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: one of those for me where I just like, you know,

49
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: I just felt like he was always making plays for

50
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: the giants when I was a kid. M in the break,

51
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you know, you always get on to

52
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: me about stories that I've told you know, and Dave's like,

53
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: heard this one, heard this one. I'm not as bad

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: as Brian. You've heard me say that before. I know

55
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: about me, no about me. But I'm saying, I don't

56
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: think have you heard the Armani Amni tumors story with

57
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: Bill parcel I don't remember that. I'm I do. It's

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: annoying because I'll be like, I don't think I've heard

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: that one, and then you get like five words into

60
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: the story and I'm like, oh, yeah, no I have,

61
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you the break anyways, we's sorry three

62
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: all right, people see people seem to respond to Dayne mcgarrity,

63
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: good one. All right, Well, I have tons of different

64
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: questions for today's shows that pants just sent in for today,

65
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: But before we got to those, wanted to talk about

66
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: the games that are happening tonight. We got Washington against

67
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles and then the Seahawks against the rams. Um

68
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: what different outcomes here could affect in what way could

69
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: affect the Cowboys? Well, the big ones obviously the division game,

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: which theoretically, theoretically the Cowboys could clinch the NFC East

71
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: tonight if Washington and Philly played to a tie, which

72
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: I get fifty dollars, I was gonna say it might

73
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: actually happen now because my smart ass Nick was like, hey,

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: do you think who's gonna write the stories. It's like

75
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: maybe you could get something together in case they somehow

76
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: win the division, and I was just like, that's not happening.

77
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm not spending twenty minutes of my day writing that

78
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: for a tie. So now it probably will happen. So

79
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: we'll see. Well, if it gets into overtime, get your

80
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: computer out, that's fair. If it's gonna take it takes

81
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: what ten, you know, ten minutes, and it'll take probably thirty. Yeah. No,

82
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: that's if if it's even if it's tied like late

83
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: in the fourth, I'll get to work. How about that? Okay? Um,

84
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: that's that's the only way. There's been some other talk

85
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: that maybe the Cowboys would get in if Philly won,

86
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: but I don't think so. I think I think they

87
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: needed a few things to happen over the weekend and

88
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: it did not happen. They That's nobody agrees on this stuff.

89
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: Like I had a lot of people tell me the

90
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: whole segment we did about those games, a lot of

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: people were like, this was wrong. Dave ESPN said this,

92
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. I'm like, Derek got that information

93
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: straight from the league. League. So I don't think there's

94
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: any other way they can clench ten night other than

95
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: a tie. Obviously, they're one win away from clinching no

96
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: matter what happens, right, so they just keep winning. It's

97
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: almost kind of a move. The winner of this game

98
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: will be three games behind the Cowboys with three to play,

99
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: and still play the Cowboys. Yeah, so it doesn't matter

100
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: if you know which which one which one wins. Dallas's

101
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: magic number is one because nobody else in the NFC

102
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: East can get to eleven wins. Let's let's discuss this though.

103
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: What do you think the Cowboys have a better chance

104
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: of beating Washington if they win the game and they're

105
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: still kind of in it, or if they lose and

106
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: they're kind of out, Because I think Washington's the type

107
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: of team that might even be more dangerous if they're

108
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: just playing. They're just kind of out there playing, because

109
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: that's what they were when they were two and six,

110
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: you think, you don't think they handled the pressure well,

111
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: and then when they get to six and six, then

112
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: they got Comma, we've seen it happen. I don't I

113
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: remember if it was with Washington, but some other team.

114
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: I remember that they were out and then you go

115
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: to the game and they're actually playing a lot better

116
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: than they wear and like competing. Yeah, you know, so

117
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: it's not always like they still go out there and compete.

118
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: I think it for me, I mean, and I get it,

119
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: nobody cares. The Cowboys had to do this as well,

120
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: but like Washington's I can't even keep track of who's

121
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: available for them, Like, so they moved the game because

122
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: the number of guys that were out and now in

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: the time since they decided to move it, like Brandon Schurf,

124
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: all pro guard, one of their best players, like he

125
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: tests positive for COVID, so he can't play on Tuesday now,

126
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: would have been able to play Sunday. It's just it's

127
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: a mess. So like, honestly, my whole theory for this

128
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: game is like, talk to me Friday, when I've had

129
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: a few days to digest who's even available for Washington.

130
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know, do we know who's playing

131
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: quarterback for them tonight? It might be Garrett Gilbert, right,

132
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: it could be I think that they're they're still testing,

133
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: and again we don't. There's people that are listening that

134
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: are probably no, and then they'll be listening later on

135
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: when they get announced. But I mean, as it stand

136
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: right now, heineke, No, Well, okay, this was an hour ago.

137
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: This is Tuesday, more afternoon for anybody listening to this later.

138
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: But so get signs point toward Garrett Gilbert's starting for

139
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: them against Philly. So and COVID protocols, like we've seen

140
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: guys come back quickly. Cedric Wilson did it for Dallas

141
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: last week, but it's typically been like eight to ten

142
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: days for people, So we don't know right now if

143
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Heineke or um, who's the other guy? Um, yeah, Kyle Allen,

144
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: which will be available Sunday. Either. You know Garrett Gilbert,

145
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean obviously was we've seen him at training camp.

146
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: The one thing that I liked about him, I mean,

147
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: we all saw what he did against Pittsburgh was that.

148
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he was only here for like a couple

149
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: of weeks and he played. He played well. He was ready.

150
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: He's one of those those journeyman quarterbacks are going to

151
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: stay ready. He's got a good deep Ballum, you have

152
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: to get after him, though, I mean you kind of

153
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: you if you get after him. He's not he's not

154
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: that nimble, but I mean he did. I think he

155
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: did run the ball pretty well in that game. If

156
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 1: I remember so, he it was one of those things

157
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: where you're like, okay, I didn't know you had that

158
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: in yet. Expectations were like Danucci level, you know, he

159
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: was down there. My expectations for that game. I was

160
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: just like, is Dallas gonna score points? Are they gonna

161
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: put together a competent drive? And he played really well.

162
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Be a war intent they should I'm I'm not gonna

163
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: go that far, but they had a chance to win. Well,

164
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: he did enough. He did a pick in the end zone.

165
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: I mean that would have put him up ten and

166
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: then oh fifty four or got a got a couple

167
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: of penalties that that cost them the game, or nine

168
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: or forty five or whatever. He ran, Yeah, he ran

169
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: for twenty eight yards in that game. We'll talk about

170
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: the victory formation. Oh god again, what's going on there?

171
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: The things that you miss at when you're at the game,

172
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: because like, you made it out onto the field, you

173
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: have that access. This six foot five guy with a

174
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: Jersey accent like bowed me off that. He was like,

175
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: you can't be out here. So like I'm in the

176
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: tunnel trying to watch on the on the JumboTron. I

177
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: did not see that. Jalen Smith did the landry shift

178
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: with the offensive line for the final snap of that game,

179
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: fifty four fifty four and I'm might wait a minute

180
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: completely okay, So in case people are kind of confused,

181
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: you've seen at the end of the game when the

182
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys win, they do the landry shift just when they're

183
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: kneeling the ball down. They'll do it once or twice,

184
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: however many times they have to kneel it. Well. I

185
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: think it was the last time they did it with

186
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: about thirty seconds to go. The offensive line the two

187
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: running backs did it, but on the other side, Jalen

188
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: Smith number forty five, not only does the shift as well,

189
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: but then kind of fist pumps and he looked pretty pumped.

190
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: He was like like rocking out, like yes, and that's

191
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: just like the Giants are like, welcome, welcome to Jalen Smith.

192
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what that is. And and then after

193
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: the game, it was really cool. A lot of the players,

194
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: I mean they they love him, and yeah, I thought

195
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: the best part was I got to see that one

196
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: of the team doctors, doctor Cooper, who did the surgery

197
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: with Jalen before he was even a Cowboys. So that's

198
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: what kind of tipped off the Cowboys that you know,

199
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to come back from this whatever.

200
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: And they they kind of shared a moment there on

201
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: the field. It was really cool. He was like, I

202
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: appreciate everything you did for me. I would not be

203
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: standing here if it wasn't for you, doctor Cooper, you know.

204
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: Was they kind of had a hug. Everything was great,

205
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: but there their guy, their cable whoever, they're the guy

206
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: that runs the Giants. At the end, was like, Jalen,

207
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: let's go off the field, Let's go who's the last guy?

208
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: And then he didn't know where the locker room was.

209
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: It's actually that's a good something that I've thought about

210
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: before for anybody that was curious. So Cable Johnson is

211
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys head of security. And I only bring

212
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: that up because if you've ever watched the Cowboys after

213
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: a game, he's the big bearded guy that is always

214
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: walking players off the field. So if you've ever wanted

215
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: to know who that was, because I like when Dak

216
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: jogs off or he's everywhere, he's everywhere, Like he's always

217
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: with those guys, keeping an eye on them, making sure

218
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: they're good. And I mean every team has that guy.

219
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: So just saying I think Jalen in one game or

220
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: not even a week, he's probably annoyed some of their

221
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: fans and team teammates. I mean, welcome to the Jalen

222
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: Smith experience. Again, Like he is well liked here. He's

223
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: a good dude. Don't have anything bad to say about

224
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: him as a person, and that's totally understandable and fine

225
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: if he's happy for his teammates, just maybe don't do

226
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: it in the last couple snaps of a blowout loss

227
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: to a team that you just joined three days ago,

228
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: like you're not gonna win yourself. A lot of fans

229
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: I was. I was in the but knowing the situation,

230
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: as we said it when he got cut, like that's

231
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: what enabled him to come back from an injury that

232
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: everybody said would end his career, and it's also why

233
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: he regularly there. It is winds up in the news

234
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: for I was looking time I was on the elevator

235
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: headed down to the game, I mean headed to the

236
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: field at the end and listening to the in the

237
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: elevator you can hear the Giants broadcast and their announcers.

238
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: We're talking about Jalen and they said, what this guy

239
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: needs is some real coaching because he hasn't really had

240
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: that before. And I was like, interesting, you know, just

241
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: when you think about eber Flus and Marinelli and then

242
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, am I okay, yeah, George Edwards, Yeah, I

243
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: was just like I was just like uncle and he

244
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: goes because the thing about him is you got to

245
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: put him in the right spot because there's one thing

246
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: I know about Jalen Smith. This guy can flat out run.

247
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: And I was like sorry, I was like, I'm sorry,

248
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: I thought you said run Like I mean, okay, You're

249
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: just like yeah. I mean that's why people keep getting signed,

250
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: because you look at him and you're like, this guy

251
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: can play right. It's amazing. And we do it too.

252
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I try my best to keep my tabs

253
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: on every team in the league, Like I pride myself

254
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: on having a functioning knowledge of every team, but it

255
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: pales in comparison to when you're just watching every single

256
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: thing that a team does. And I mean, if the

257
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys signed I'm sure we've done that before. Like I'm

258
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: trying to think of like, oh yeah, just like, oh,

259
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: this guy was a tough fifty pick last year. Every

260
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: free agent last year. Yeah. Haklin Dicks is a great example. Yeah,

261
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: great example. And so they get to Gontarry Po, they

262
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: get to go through that process. There are tons of

263
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: players and we've talked about this before, how you always

264
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: think that your coach is going to be the one

265
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: who can coach this guy. And I feel, I mean,

266
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: we've experienced it we know, we're like, okay, go take

267
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: and we're done with this person. And then the other

268
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: coaching from whatever team can be like, well I can

269
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: I can do it. I can turn things around for him,

270
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: which I think that dan Quinn did try with him,

271
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: clearly he did try. And then we'll think about if

272
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: you're a Detroit or Minnesota in there, like the Cowboys

273
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: have signed j Ron Curs, good luck, good luck with

274
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: that special teams. And then I mean, the Pro Bowl

275
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: gets announced tomorrow. I don't know if he's gonna make it.

276
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: At safety, I kind of lean towards no. I leaned

277
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: toward no just and that's not his fault. That's it's

278
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: a popularity contest. But that being said, who are the

279
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: safeties in the NFC? To tell me that guy from

280
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: the Vikings Adrian Amos, Harrison Smith, U Savior Woods, I

281
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: don't think so. Now, well, we'll find out tomorrow, find

282
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: out tomorrow night, tomorrow. Now, so in the meantime, let's

Speaker 1: go ahead and take our break because I do have

331
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: I just saw just now, so I don't I didn't

332
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: get time to look into it and get much information.

333
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: But this guy says that after struggling in the first

334
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: half in twenty fourteen the playoffs where McCarthy played, he

335
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: McCarthy put a wide receiver in the backfield in the

336
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: second half to get mismatches and it worked. Should the

337
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys are the same to allow the receiver free release

338
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: and more options, that would have been time Montgomery, Right, Yeah,

339
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: I would assume. So, I mean, we talked about this

340
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: last week, Like, I love the idea of getting Ceedee

341
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: Lamb involved in the run game, just to mix it

342
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: up and help the fact that your guys aren't healthy.

343
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: But I know, I don't want ceedee lamb like carrying

344
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield on a regular basis,

345
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: opening him up to get hit somewhere between ten and

346
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: twenty times a game. He's also tackles. I think he's

347
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: also talking about in there, lining him up back there

348
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: to get him an opportunity to get a free release

349
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: and still run the ball some but also be in

350
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: the pass coverage, but just not have to do it

351
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: from the lane of scrimmage. I just don't think he's

352
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: the guy for that. I don't. I don't think he.

353
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: I think you're wasting him a little bit. Yeah, I mean,

354
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: do we need to scheme up ways to get CD

355
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: a free release? Like he plays in the slot predominantly

356
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: since gallops back and he's open. He's got. It's not

357
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: like he can'ah, he's not like he's struggling to get open.

358
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: He dropped the ball three times. I love it. I

359
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: love it when a player lets me off the hook

360
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: because I don't want to bash guys. CD said it

361
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: himself he played terrible, so I don't have to be

362
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: the jerk that says it. He knows it. He played

363
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: a bad game. Well. I did receive lots of questions

364
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: about the whole white receiver groups also not only dropping passes,

365
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: but also making plays in like contested catches where it's

366
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: just kind of hard to catch the ball. Also, what's

367
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: happening with Amari Cooper. He's disappearing and things like that.

368
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: So when you when the road games again, Oh, that's

369
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: not nah, he hasn't been doing that though. That hasn't

370
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: been a thing in like a year and a half. Yeah,

371
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean his best game of the year this season

372
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: was on the road Vikings. Yeah, I mean, it is

373
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: a dome, I get kind of he kind of took

374
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: a while to get going, I mean, and not a

375
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: lot of that was Cooper rush. But I'm just saying

376
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: it was that one drive at the end and then

377
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: he balled out made some great plays. This is this

378
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: is it's a classic case of like it's always it's

379
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: it's always the thing that they're not doing. Like when

380
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: everything's humming and the receivers are all balling out and

381
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of getting involved, it's like, man, we're so

382
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: we're so blessed to have three receivers that aren't like

383
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: demanding the ball and these guys are always there. Whatever.

384
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: Michael gallup doesn't need to get this, that, and the other.

385
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: And then you see a mar gets targeted five times,

386
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: finishes with two catches for eight yards, and you're like,

387
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: hell are we doing? I mean you gotta I mean

388
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: you gotta find a way to get a guy that

389
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: talented involved, even if the opponent is doing everything they

390
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: can to limit him, which I bet you Kellen Moore

391
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: would say something along the lines of like, yeah, why

392
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: do you think I'm calling receiver screens like it is

393
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: an obvious way, Like you can't take that away, Like

394
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: if that's what you decide to run, he'll be open

395
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: for it. And to be that's it's kind of amusing

396
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: to me. A lot of these screens haven't worked, and

397
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: sometimes it's frustrating. But like CD took a screen forty

398
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: yards in New Orleans and set up one of their

399
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: only touchdowns that night. Amari got a screen. I think

400
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: it went for three yards. If he slips one more tackle,

401
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: maybe it goes a lot further. That's tricky territory for

402
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: me because I like that idea of like, Okay, if

403
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna bracket this guy, I'm gonna come up with

404
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 1: a way to get him the ball just hasn't been

405
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: working and it is. It is frustrating. There's so many

406
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: plays to throw off of that though, that they don't

407
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: seem to do. Like I mean, I'm fine with the

408
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: bubble screens, but you know, faking it like the guy

409
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: the guy that's in front that's about to block, Like,

410
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: why don't you fake the bubble screen? And he blocks

411
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: for a half second and then takes off. I mean,

412
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: that's going to be there. They did that in week one.

413
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: That was how CD got his first touchdowns, right, and

414
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: they set it up the play before. I don't think

415
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: we've seen it since. Yeah, I mean I understand saving

416
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: it call, but let's go Well then that puss is

417
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: a question that when you start looking into play calling

418
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: versus player execution, how much do you put into the two?

419
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think there's one that's lacking more

420
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: than the other? I do think, I mean execution is

421
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: a huge part of it. Like the offensive line hasn't

422
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: played well. Connor Williams goes in the running game seems

423
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: to have a little bit more juice than it did. Again,

424
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: it sounds maybe people think it sounds crazy, but like

425
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: if CD catches those three balls, I said that yesterday,

426
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: that's anywhere from like forty to sixty yards of extra

427
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: offense and God knows what happens. I mean, one of

428
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: CD's catches is a perfect example of that. It was

429
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: like a little crosser or an end and he caught it,

430
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: and he danced and made like three guys miss and

431
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: turned like an eight yard catch into an eighteen or

432
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: twenty yard game. Like that stuff matters, So execution is

433
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: a big part of it. But having said that, I

434
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: just feel like Kellen is he's frustrated right now, like

435
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't trust the stuff that he trusted or I

436
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: always use baseball analogies, like people have figured out where

437
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: his curve goes, so he hasn't come up with something

438
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: to work off of that. I asked him about that yesterday.

439
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, well you're seeing you're seeing all

440
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: this too high, and I mean, is there anything you

441
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: can do to break out of that? Like I know

442
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: that sounds like a dumb question, but what do you do?

443
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: And he just I don't know. He had this kind

444
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: of tone of exasperation where he's like, teams are testing

445
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: our patients right now, and we just have to find

446
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: a way to work through that, and they haven't done

447
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: as good of a job of it as you know

448
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: what I feel about, Like how Dak feels right now.

449
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: I think that's the same way, yes and and I

450
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: don't I think I said that yesterday too, is I

451
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: don't think he's been that good at it. Like I

452
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: think Dak gets frustrated to a point and he's like,

453
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: screw this, like the fumble. The fumble was that the

454
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: fumble was screw this. We're making a big play and

455
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: and it didn't. You know, oh, such a terrible play

456
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: because it's like with eight minutes to go and you're

457
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: up by fifteen and you want to get a first down.

458
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: That's fine, but like he he's getting sacked, you know,

459
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: like he's like he doesn't think. He's like, well, what

460
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: do you mean? Liked CD didn't block the edge? You know,

461
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: CD is supposed to block the end, and then he doesn't, shockingly,

462
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: and he like goes to the right and he's about

463
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: to throw and he gets hit. It's like you just

464
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: assume that your lanky wide receiver who's lighting the ass anyways,

465
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: is going to block the edge on defensive end, Like

466
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: there's got to be a better play than that. I

467
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: think CD is a willing blocker for who he is,

468
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: but he's not going up against he can't weigh He

469
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: weighs like one hundred and ninety pounds, like just maybe

470
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: don't is on the other side. I mean, I don't

471
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: know who who got him. There wasn't was it? Oh see,

472
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: he's in their Ring of honor, Nick Kiwanuka, I don't

473
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: know who's rushing in the past. I don't remember who

474
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: it was, but Lorenzo Carter is pretty good. If I

475
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: the Ring of honor, yeah, seventy two when he was

476
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: he was up there on Sunday. Yeah, I mean, if

477
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: I were them, anybody that was part of a pass

478
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: rush that won me two Super Bowls is automatically and yeah,

479
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: yeah you're in. So I was thinking about this looking

480
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: at looking at CD's numbers going back to Pro Bowl,

481
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: so you would think there's always guys that have numbers,

482
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: and he especially because they don't share it was Lorenzo Carter.

483
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: He's a pretty good He's a pretty good player. So

484
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams in justin Jeffersonson, Jefferson got enough stats for that, right,

485
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: He's I think he's like leading the league's close well,

486
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: the guy that's leading the league is Cooper Cup and

487
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: he's finitely Yeah, that's three. So after that, I mean

488
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: I was like looking at the NFC East Washington Giants Eagle. No, nobody,

489
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: Arizona has Hopkins. He's not doing anything this year too.

490
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: He's hurt, right, he's been. I mean, he had to

491
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: have enough stats for it. So then you got Seattle

492
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: at calf Locket would be my guess. I haven't Locket

493
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: some my fasty team. Now he's eleventh in the league

494
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: and yards and he's got five. Carolina and guy's putting

495
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: up hollow numbers, probably DJ. They have no quarterback. He

496
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: hasn't been doing much. I got it right here. I

497
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: mean justin Cup, justin Jefferson, Davante lock Done does get interesting.

498
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin is now out for the year. UM debos

499
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: deep Deebo Samuel's going to be in for sure. He's

500
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: a running back and a receiver about him. Then you

501
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: got Locket, yeah, I mean, and then CD he's up there, CD.

502
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean, CD's gonna hit a thousand yards, but there's

503
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys in front of him. This there's

504
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: a chance for him to make the Pro Bowl. There's

505
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: a chance, but his name is CD Lamb, it would

506
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: be it would be as like an alternate I feel

507
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: like though, um, but yeah, I mean this, Not that

508
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: anybody cares about this at the end of the day,

509
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: because there are loftier goals, but this little slump is

510
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: probably going to cost some guys in terms of that.

511
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: Like I would have guessed Amari and Lamb were definitely

512
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl and Zeke. I thought Zeke was

513
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: leading the NFC, and he's still up there. I think

514
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: Zeke still might because again you said, because his name

515
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: is Zeke Elliott and and he's also still having a

516
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: pretty nice season. I mean eight hundred and sixty two

517
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: yards and nine touchdowns. The only guys in the NFC

518
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: that are definitively better are near our Dalvin Cook. That's

519
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: honestly it wow. All of the really badass running backs

520
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: in the league this year in the AFC, for Connor's

521
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: got for the Arizona Connor's got like twelve touchdowns. That yeah,

522
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of touchdowns. James Connor, Leonard Fournette,

523
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: Zeke those are those are probably the guys. But yeah,

524
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: I think Zeke will make it. I do I think

525
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: this costs Dak and the receivers were about Tyrant? Oh

526
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: my god. Probably just in terms of availability, I would

527
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: guess not. But but the thing is with offensive lineman

528
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: is like once you make it to like two, then

529
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: it's just when he plays he's I think he's he's

530
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: graded the second best left tackle in all the football

531
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: Batri and Tehran Armstead have been out just as often

532
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: as he has this year, if not more. Trent Williams, Yeah,

533
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean he'll make it. Trying to think of so

534
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: we got Parsons, Digs and Zach Martin. We were locking

535
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: that in, locking those in for sure. Uma I locked

536
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: Zeke too. That's that's he's Zeke Elliott. He plays for

537
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and he's having a nice are good enough

538
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: to get in? Yeah? I think he'll be there. Well,

539
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: speaking of se scenes in anger, he's a guy that

540
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: last year when we saw the mistakes that he was

541
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: making last year, you know, the balls dropping and all that,

542
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: and then you got to see Tony Poller what he

543
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: could do. Uh, And then I got the conversation going

544
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: as to, Okay, well Tony should get more plays in there,

545
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: and all that is Zeke kind of starting to trend

546
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: downwards and all that now that you guys have seen

547
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: another year out of him, and he has been dealing

548
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: with an injury since like week four of the season.

549
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: But are we at the point where Zeke is starting

550
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: to curve down and like I actually think he's starting

551
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: back up. Yeah, like he's been in a valley for

552
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: a minute. But and he's not right, Like he's not

553
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: all the way right. You can see it. He had

554
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: like last week. I'm looking at this season though, looking

555
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: at his career overall. Are you talking about the contract? Yeah, yes, yes,

556
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: oh yeah, his career because obviously last game we saw

557
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: much improvement, but overall as a player, if you find

558
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: me a running back, honestly, find me a running back

559
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: who in a sixth or seventh year, a sixth year,

560
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: in a sixth year is actually trending up, I'm gonna say, Hi,

561
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: Berry Sanders, Derrick, Henry Good Good. Actually he got hurt,

562
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: so maybe not. I mean, it's so rare, it's just

563
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: it's i mean, the the average, the average about three

564
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: and a half. I mean, I'm more and more confident

565
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: than I've ever been that they'll wind up regretting that

566
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: deal at some point, and it is what it is,

567
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: especially since they've rearranged the money a couple of times.

568
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: But but for for for this year though, I agree

569
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: with Dave. I mean, Zeke said this is the best

570
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: if felt after a game in a while. Yeah, So,

571
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's he's figuring out that that's

572
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: brace is bulky. It's a bulky brace, that's what he's

573
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: But he says he's it's comfortable with it. It's easy,

574
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: Like you know, there's you're not supposed to pay running backs.

575
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: It's certainly it's hard to argue against it. Right now

576
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: with just things are piling up for Zeke. Derrick Henry's

577
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: now hurt, Christian McCaffrey feels like he's played five games

578
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: since he signed that deal. It's hard to argue in

579
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: favor of that. But I just I still like and

580
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: I know at the end of the day, it's it's

581
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: you produced. But like, I have so much respect for Zeke.

582
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: Last year, it was the fact that he was kind

583
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: of the last man standing on a terrible like on

584
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: a decimated team. He just he had to face the

585
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: music every week, and he did. This year, he's hurt,

586
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: He's gotten through it. He's still playing okay. Definitely not

587
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: up to his standard, but playing okay. I just I

588
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: think the guy's a warrior. So I did too. And

589
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: I also, I mean, think about where he was five

590
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: years ago, and you know, he was getting just so

591
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: many headlines for off the field things and on the field.

592
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's matured. There's no doubt he's done that.

593
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: He's been humbled a little bit here, but I still

594
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: like being great. Like it's amazing because we've seen it

595
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: with players that I get some such a spotlight and

596
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: the way he's managed everything since he got here. I

597
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,239
Speaker 1: just wanted to say mature and not great, because as

598
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: soon as you say that is when something else happens. Now,

599
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean, his dogs only thing that's really weird hear

600
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: in the media, and that's been a while. So yeah,

601
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: it's yeah, like I said, I mean, like I said,

602
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: he's he's not living up to a contract of that size,

603
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, I just respect the way he goes about it.

604
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: Don't Also from the Pro Bowl, don't rule out Tony Pollard.

605
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: You really like this Pro Bowl fans? Do fans like

606
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: it too? Yes? They do. I feel like I always

607
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: see people not the game, not the game. They don't

608
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: want to watch the game, even though it's the highest

609
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: rated All Star game there is. But um, the game

610
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: is it's just not a football game, and so that's

611
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: what and it can't be and you wouldn't want it

612
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: to be if your guy gets hurt and all that,

613
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: but um, it matters, like it definitely matters when you

614
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: start looking at the end of the career and all that,

615
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: like what is the use three time Pro Bowl or whatever.

616
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Tony Pollard. My prediction is he will

617
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: get in as a return specialist and he'll get more

618
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: carries than anybody in the game, because that's what happens,

619
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: that they'll play him at running back. He'll play I

620
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: think he's going to get in as a return specialist. Okay,

621
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't feel particularly strongly about this, but

622
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: all right, take your word for it. No more proll talk.

623
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm done. No, I'm no. I think. I just I

624
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: wish we could. I wish we could revamp the way

625
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: we do the Pro Bowl voting, like everything about it,

626
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, like change it so that it fits the

627
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: modern game. Like it we're still arguing about, like well,

628
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 1: it's just guy a linebacker or a defensive end, like, well, right,

629
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,239
Speaker 1: it's just all that type of crap. I should call

630
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: them pass ushers. And and the voting formula I don't like. Yeah,

631
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: I saw somebody complaining about this the other day, Like,

632
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: and I get it, Like we have a job to do.

633
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: We're trying to promote our guys. But teams are out

634
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: here like retweet this for votes to the Pro Bowl,

635
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, so if so and so gets

636
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: ten thousand retweets, he's gonna beat a guy who's clearly

637
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: having a better season than him. Because I just I

638
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: don't I don't like the way and and to your point,

639
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: like it's easy to say, oh this is this is trivial.

640
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: Who cares, it's as it's a BS game and everybody

641
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: gets into it anyway, But like, these are the things

642
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: you look at when it's time to decide if a

643
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: guy goes to the Hall of Fame, and so I

644
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: think it should reflect that I think we I think

645
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: it should be taken a lot more seriously. What is

646
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: what I would do? Honestly, I would I would let

647
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: the players and the coaches vote for the guys that

648
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: make the team um and then I would leave probably

649
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: eight spots open something like that and let the fans vote,

650
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, because then the fans are back the snubs

651
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: and all that. This is who the fans want to

652
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: see in the game. So okay, well, these these twelve

653
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: fifteen people didn't make it the You can vote for

654
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: the last eight and they'll figure out how it works

655
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: position wise, because it's the fans game. They want to

656
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: see who they want to be in there. But at

657
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: the same time, it shouldn't be like you said, it

658
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't be rigged because I mean, Tyler Beatis was leading

659
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: the fan voting centers. Yeah, come on, well, and we've

660
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: seen these played better lately. Though you gotta say about

661
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: he did this last week, I felt bad. No, like Tyler.

662
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: Tyler has improved, although some of the issues. I feel

663
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: like anytime which totally makes sense, but like anytime they

664
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: go against like a really badass nose tackle, I feel

665
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: like I noticed Dak reaching for snaps and trying to

666
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: find snaps and stuff like that. But I mean he's

667
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: a young guy, you know. I mean they did score

668
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: against the Saints. Let's let's throw that out there. It's

669
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: not like they get shut out by the Saints. Oh

670
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: we're talking, oh the Bucks. I'm just saying that that

671
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: win was considered an ugly win on the road. Whatever,

672
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: it looks better now than it did. Just saying you

673
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: can't complain. I didn't, so I did my whole spiel. Yes,

674
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: John Payton resigned yet or he did not. They just

675
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: be like, we don't need you. Freaking Cardinals lost to

676
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: the Lions, like the team that has been the highest league. Strange,

677
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: lady lay, Strange, lady David. Does he know it's lady? Yeah?

678
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: Ships or ladies, I don't know. It's just a thing,

679
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, Big Sheila. All right, the boat Jordan Lewis

680
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: said he would name his boat Big Sheila. Oh okay,

681
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't hear that. I was kind of confused, Okay, yeah.

682
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is nobody in his family,

683
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: no hesitation. Was like Big Sheila, I love that. And

684
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: nobody in his family's name Sheila, no mom. Nothing like

685
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: speaking of unsung heroes, Jordan Lewis isn't gonna make the

686
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, but having a career year three career high

687
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: and picks made that play Again, Guys are making plays

688
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: on balls that we haven't seen like it sounds dumb,

689
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: but I don't trust past Dallas secondaries to track popped

690
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: up pass and bring it in. Like he said, I

691
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: don't know if you heard the interview about Treyvon Diggs,

692
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: and I asked him about Treyvon after the game, and

693
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: you know, he was just like the it's a record setting,

694
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. What is what's happening? But he said, I

695
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: told him last year, you were doing the same thing.

696
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: Last year, you were just dropping him. He's like, He's like,

697
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: you had hands on the ball all the time. He

698
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: just didn't catch it all the time. Ah, Jay Lou

699
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: underrated just as a personality as a player. Glad to

700
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: see he's having some still can't believe they overturned that call.

701
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: That just I thought for sure that was going to

702
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: be an incomplete pass. The interception by Diggs, oh yeah, same.

703
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: I mean I wanted it to be a pick because

704
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: only ten picks. This will be great. This is the

705
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: last thing we need for I set it on Twitter

706
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: during the game. I was like, I do not trust

707
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: the league to have the consistency to give this back

708
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: to them when they ruled it in complete on the

709
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: field man, But I'm glad they did. I just didn't.

710
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: I did not believe. I did not think that was

711
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: going to be a catch. Let's go ahead and take

712

759
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 1: Is it it's not a coincidence that you waited until

760
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: Derek wasn't on. No, it was just it felt right.

761
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: It was the Rowdy felt right. I don't know if

762
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: it sounded right, but I respect the effort that you

Speaker 1: put into it. Yeah. Hey, forever, that's all I need.

Speaker 1: That's all we need. Let me get trophies in this

765
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: world for effort, right, so these days we do. Depending

766
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,479
Speaker 1: on who you talk to, Is it because of my throats?

767
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 1: A little raspies that why the singing wasn't good. Yeah,

768
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: I probably should have waited for a different time. It

769
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: just didn't I'm not good. I'm not good singer. It

770
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: just didn't match the beat, match the song. It's okay,

771
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: if we ever have a bet, you know, show No,

772
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: that's not it. But you know, ironically, I didn't think

773
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: he had that music because I was going to do that.

774
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: I was going to say rowdy the Cowboys mascot I

775
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: was going through, and so it threw me off a

776
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: little bit. I'm sorry. No, no, next tomorrow, all right, guys.

777
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: So on offense, is there any player that has exceeded

778
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: your expectations on the offensive side of the ball Tony poll?

779
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: If there is an answer, that's it besides him, nobody else.

780
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: If there's exceeded, No, but that's our fault though too.

781
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: That's our fault for for putting Dak up there. But

782
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's what we that's there our expectations. Yeah,

783
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: so see, I don't know that's our expectations, you know.

784
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: But but Dak was meeting the expectations up until about Thanksgiving,

785
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: like like we didn't make this up. Dak was playing

786
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: at an MVP level. That was happening. That was a

787
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: real thing that happened for half the season. And so

788
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: he was exceeding my expectations honestly, And it's what's that

789
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele to me, he definitely exceeded. Okay, No, that's fair,

790
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: That's totally fair because the expectation was basically that he

791
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: was awful. So yeah, and I mean, I'm not trying

792
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: to be a jerk. I mean, back and listen to

793
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: the shows from week two. Was it week two? Yeah,

794
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: when Lyle got suspended, everybody was just like, oh my god,

795
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: Joey Bosha, don't kill our quarterback. Like and and that

796
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: hasn't been the case. He's he's been solid. I mean

797
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 1: to the point where we're wondering who the better option

798
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: is it? Right tackle, Yeah, I mean with Lyle, and

799
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: that a lot of that's on Lyle for not maybe

800
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: playing as well as we thought he would. But I mean,

801
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, Terrence Steeles is great. Terrence Steele is the

802
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: best one I saw some some people have mentioned, some

803
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: people have mentioned, be honest, and I'm not trying to

804
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: dog the guy. I think he's gotten better as the

805
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: season is gone. He's been fine. But going back to

806
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: me and Nick Harping on the same thing, when you

807
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: don't bring in competition for the job, that raises my expectations,

808
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't think he's met the expectation

809
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: of like we're good here, we don't need to do

810
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: anything about center souste and steal and Pollard. Yeah, and

811
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean and Cedric Wilson has played better than I

812
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: thought he would. Um. Now, he hasn't last few weeks.

813
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: He's been injured COVID and then off the COVID list

814
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: and hasn't practiced a lot. But the versatility that he

815
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: brings is But also I mean that's something that you

816
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: have seen from him in the past. Yeah you're like, okay, yeah,

817
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: this guy, but he has he has done it over

818
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: a larger sample size. Like, honestly, of what Cedric Wilson

819
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: had done coming into this season was his one great

820
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: game against Seattle last year, Like that was almost all

821
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: of it in terms of offense. And this year he's

822
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: done it reliably. I mean, they didn't miss a beat

823
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: without Gallup for most of the first half of the season.

824
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: His biggest play of the game came without of the

825
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: season came without Dak. I'm not sure they beat Minnesota

826
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 1: without him going the distance. Definitely, So yeah, yeah, that's okay,

827
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: that's three? Or is there anybody else? Is there anybody else? All? Right? Defense?

828
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: Everyone else? All of them? Well, here's the question. At

829
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: the exception of maybe, no, everyone has exceeded my expectations.

830
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: Even Tank has come in and played better than I

831
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: thought he would in those three games. I mean he,

832
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean he's been very, very, very active for I

833
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: say this all the time, like we spent half the season,

834
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: like when they get these guys back, when they get

835
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: these guys back, and I had all the confidence in

836
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: the world that they would. What's that one guy? What

837
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: one guy has not exceeded your expectations? Who Layton Vandresh

838
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: That's yeah. I don't know how high my expectations were

839
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: for him in the first place, though, better than being

840
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: like sixth on the team and tackles? Yeah maybe so? Yeah,

841
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: I thought so too, And I guess I think I

842
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: was probably I was probably more excited for Keano than

843
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: what he's shown, although he maybe played his best game

844
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: of the season against the Giants before we the show.

845
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: Would you rather have the defense that you're having, right,

846
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 1: now or don't stop it, stop it? No, I won't.

847
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: You can't make me wow, Say which one you have

848
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: to pick one? If I if I have to, if

849
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: I have to pick one, and you got. I think

850
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: you guys know how much this will pain me because

851
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: of who I am as a person. But like you

852
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 1: need that type of defense to win in the playoffs,

853
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: you got. I mean a pass again. The New York Giants,

854
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: mediocre ass team. It bothers me, I don't. It bothers

855
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: me to this day, and not even as a Cowboys fan.

856
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: It bothers me to this day that that mediocre ass

857
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: team beat the Patriots. Like I believe in I believe

858
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: in history. I wanted to see an undefeated team. I

859
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: don't care if you don't like the Pats. I can't

860
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: believe that a nine and seven bombass team won the

861
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl over the best football team that I've ever seen.

862
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: But that's what happens. When you've got a killer pass

863
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: rush and you make the right players in the playoffs,

864
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: you can go into lambeau Field and win. You can

865
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: go wherever the hell you gotta go. Defense travels, and

866
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: so if I gotta have one, I'll roll with that.

867
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: Which I hate that I'm saying that out loud. Yeah,

868
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: that's what I was gonna say. Defense travels, I mean

869
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: it does. I mean Tampa Bay, same thing. Tampa Bay

870
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: kind of you know, they don't sneak into the playoffs,

871
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: but they are a wild card team. But you can

872
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: say Brady and Gronk and all, whose team of the

873
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 1: defense is what carried them. The defense shut down Mahomes

874
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: at the end of the year and in the Super

875
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: Bowl Kelsey and you know, Yeah, I'd say defense, if

876
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be you have to do something great, and

877
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: I think this defense can be great. I don't think

878
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: there's more than a couple offensive lines in this entire

879
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: league that can put up with what they're bringing at

880
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback every snap. Like a fully healthy Green Bay maybe,

881
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: but they're not fully healthy. By the way. Tampa Bay's

882
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: line is pretty sick. God, that would that would be

883
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: fun to see that game again now that the Cowboys

884
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: defense is kind of I mean, because that was Week one,

885
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't even close to what he's doing now.

886
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: That would be fun. I'm sure there are some others

887
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: if I thought hard enough, But I mean San Francisco

888
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: could be a challenge. Sure. Their defense, I mean, their

889
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: offensive line is really good. That's one game I think

890
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: if you're a Cowboy fan, you kind of and they're

891
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: also and they run the ball so well they can,

892
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they can take your take the pass rush

893
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: element out of it if you give them a chance.

894
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: Are they currently being rated against other teams as far

895
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: as like defenses run the league? Cowboys? Cowboys? Yeah, all right,

896
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: put me on the spot. Hang on, I can do this.

897
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: We can go over whatever is anybody even behind us?

898
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: Mix shots? Wow, they can wait he's not out there

899
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: with his pad just yet. I don't No, I'm not

900
00:46:55,840 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: logged into football outsiders, right, I mean, there's different stats

901
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: for the for the defense. I mean, but I think

902
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: that they I think that they're like in the teams

903
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: maybe ten twelve, but but that's that goes on yards,

904
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 1: I mean, and right now they're trending. But turnovers, they're

905
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: first in turnovers right Definitely, in interceptions they are, they're definite.

906
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: Um so they're top three in the league for sure,

907
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: So you know, yes, I'm sorry to be there. They're

908
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: third in the league in defensive DVOA, which again that

909
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: it's it's defensive efficiency, Like it's it's just how successful

910
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: you are on a per snap basis, how much you

911
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: affect the other team's offense. It's good. Just take my

912
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 1: word for it. It's good. So who are the other two? Uh?

913
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: They're behind New England and Buffalo right now. Won't see

914
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: them until they I mean, I'm telling like that's so,

915
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, I hate that I'm saying it. They're just

916
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: if they keep this up, which again I actually although

917
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: I said this yesterday too, is like, Okay, this is

918
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: happening against Mike Glennon and Asom Hill. But they picked

919
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: off Brady three times, They've done They did this to

920
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, they held Mahomes to nineteen points and forced

921
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: to fumble, like they've done this to some good quarterbacks

922
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: as well. I'm not trying to delegitimize it. And that's

923
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: before they had the guys that they really have in

924
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: there together, right, like Gregory wasn't played against the Chiefs.

925
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: Do you law get into the tournament with a defense

926
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: like that? And like you know, nobody ain't nobody gonna

927
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: be mad if you win a game scoring twenty four

928
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: points against Tampa or Green Bay? So what we're here

929
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 1: for baby, We're bringing, we're going, We're here to really

930
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: you back in the defense, it's just, you know, the

931
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: offense has had me on an edge, the offense. But

932
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: the offense has three more weeks to work it out

933
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 1: and then another week to game plan for whoever they got. Hey,

934
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: maybe they'll even get the buy who knows it's all

935
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: out in front of them. Age, stabilities, chiefs, activities, totally

936
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: different vibe than the yesterday. So it's like I won

937
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: again twenty one six? What's wrong with the team. That's

938
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: the way this goes. You sit, you digest it, and

939
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: then you look around and you're like, man, there's really

940
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: not a great team in the league this year, right,

941
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: And then you start to think and you're like, okay,

942
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: well here's another for the last month. I'm just like,

943
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: here's another opportunity for the offense to get it right.

944
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing has changed. Why I complain so much.

945
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: It's like one of those things that you're so close

946
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: to it and then you know what you have but

947
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: you're not seeing it reflected on the field, and like

948
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: that's my thing, and I get it. Obviously, you want

949
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: to win games, and I'm all for it, of course,

950
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: but if we got to sit here and talk about

951
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: the team and analyze it and criticize it or whatever,

952
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: that's one of those things that I'm like, we see

953
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: the amazing talent that they do have, why is it

954
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: not translating onto the field, And what happened since Dad

955
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: got back from the injury? What's going on and all that.

956
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: So that's why I get moody when it comes to that.

957
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: But yes, of course I want them to win games,

958
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: no matter how or what. So anyways, just when you

959
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: think about like the lost to Denver or the Raiders,

960
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: you know just how bad that was, especially the one

961
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: to Denver because it caught everyone by surprise. I mean,

962
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: what do you think is going on in Arizona? Like,

963
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: because Denver's average and then they played great and dominated you.

964
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: But go to Detroit and just keep yeah, and Herbs

965
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: dumped like that to start ten and one and be

966
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: ten and three back to back losses, one of them

967
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: to the worst record in the league. Yeah that's what.

968
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: And Okay, Tampa just got shut out at home by

969
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: a mediocre Saints team and also lost like they lost

970
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: Godwin for the year. Four nets banged up Mike Evans

971
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 1: is banged up, like but I'll say this, the ninety

972
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 1: five Cowboys went twelve and four. They lost two games

973
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: to the four and twelve Redskins two games. And when

974
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: the Saints went thirteen and zero to start the year

975
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: and they lost the Dallas and then they lost to

976
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: the Bucks at home, which was bad. I remember, being

977
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: at twenty year old Saints fan. They started. It was

978
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: very I said this on the radio today, it was

979
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 1: very similar to what's happening in Dallas right now a

980
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: little bit because it was different because thirteen wins is

981
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: like incredible, But they lost to the Cowboys, then they

982
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: lost to a bad Bucks team. Then they sat everybody

983
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,439
Speaker 1: because they didn't have anything to play for and lost

984
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: that game too. So you go thirteen and oh to

985
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: thirteen and three, and you thought that, I mean, you

986
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: would have thought the city was on fire. Everybody's just

987
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 1: like it was this all for nothing, like we suck,

988
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: We're not gonna win a game in the playoffs. And

989
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: then they took the week off and won Super Bowl,

990
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: so you never know, well, we gotta go. I already

991
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: saw Mickey and I am not Derek Eagleton, so I

992
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: don't have that kind of power to stay here for

993
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 1: much longer. Anyways, Thank you guys so much for listening.
