00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: like to introduce him, and he'll be in our third segment.

13
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: John Schmelt, the I think he's got this weird title

14
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: is managing producer for the New York Football Giants and

15
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: I just got off the phone with their show. So

16
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: he said he'd see us in a little bit, so

17
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: I think we can count on it. Were you just

18
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: as informative as he will be trying to be. I

19
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: was kind of step We lost in that bit, right, well,

20
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: giants took the l there. John's a heck of a guest. Yeah, yeah,

21
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: that's a tough challenge for you. Yeah, yeah, especially since

22
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: he asked me about Jack Rabbit. Did you know? Oh yeah,

23
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: he knows. Now we all know jack Rabbit. It's in

24
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: the New York Post, the whole story with Jack Rabbit

25
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: in the headline. There's Megatron and there's Jack Rabbit. And yeah,

26
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: you guys get into discussing the fact that finally we

27
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: know that Odell Beckham Junior is questionable for the game.

28
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: They said that, yeah, but they didn't haven't seen the

29
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: practice yet, so didn't know if he was going to

30
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: do anything more than what he hasn't done the last

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: two games. But I did, in my research find out

32
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: that in twenty fifteen, he missed a whole week of practice,

33
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: was listed as questionable, and then played in the game.

34
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: He's done this three times at four catches against the

35
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys thirty some yards. So my guess was when the

36
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: day started that he would do a little something today

37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: and they would list them as questionable. And I guarantee

38
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: you that's what they do. Ye not going to tell

39
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, right? Why would they? Why would you, but

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: keep them guessing something that we don't need to guess about.

41
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: Is the only guy who's for sure out for them

42
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: is Kenyan Robinson, their linebacker within concussion Brian O'Dell. Is

43
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: he going to surprise us all? You know? I mean,

44
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: I went on yesterday feeling like that if he didn't

45
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: practice today that he would be out. And you know,

46
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: Mickey's right, They're not gonna say whether he's in or out.

47
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna let it roll to a game time decision.

48
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: I will say this though, they practiced all week with

49
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: the thought of him playing, So this is not going

50
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: to be a surprise. If he doesn't show up, they'll

51
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: there's other weapons you have to deal with. I think

52
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: that they're more than prepared to handle. You know, whoever

53
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: else has to step into thirteen shoes if he doesn't play, Yeah,

54
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: it won't be like, oh he's playing, we don't know

55
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: what to do. Yeah, They've got a game play compared

56
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: for both ways, and regardless of what they say, right absolutely,

57
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: I think that's why they went ahead and kind of

58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: stacked that receiver corps in the offseason, obviously adding Brandon Marshall.

59
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: They feel more comfortable with Sterling Shepherd than they did

60
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: before let go of Cruise. They were looking at this

61
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: receiver corps because part of the playoff loss was around them.

62
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: They couldn't catch the ball. Yeah, they had some troubles

63
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: in that Green Bay game. They again, it goes all

64
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: the way back tay to their inability to run the

65
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: football though too. That's something that we, you know, we

66
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: have to keep an eye on. You know, the Cowboys

67
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: one of the best in the National Football last year

68
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: defending the run. You add Steven Pia to the mix,

69
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: I think that even helps more. Now, you know, we'll

70
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: see what happens at the middle linebacker spot. We think

71
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: maybe Jalen Smith will be the guy justin Durant will

72
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: get some opportunities there. But it's a different team to

73
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys up the middle now if you think about it,

74
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: with Pia's starting with a new mic linebacker and Jeff

75
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: Heath also playing as a safety. So usually your run

76
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: defense is predicated on how you play up the middle.

77
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: And that's three really new parts. But we all think

78
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: him as positive parts. We mentioned offensive line for the

79
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: Giants yesterday and that's that's a question mark for them.

80
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: And John might speak to it later in the show

81
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: for me that you mentioned Pie, you mentioned Malie Collins.

82
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: That's what I want to see in this game is

83
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: can they get that middle rush to prevent Eli from

84
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: climb in the pocket and making throws. If he's flushed

85
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: out of the pocket, that's going to only help the

86
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: guys on the edges. To me, that's a huge key

87
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: in the game on Sunday. I think they're going to

88
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: primarily look to Paul Perkins to be their primary back

89
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: in this game. And you may recognize the last name, Mickey,

90
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: Paul Perkins. You mentioned Don Perkins last week, and he

91
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: is related to him. It is his great nephew or

92
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: it's a nephew. I don't know how great it is,

93
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: but yeah, there's a relation there. Went to UCLA. Yes,

94
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: second year guy. I think it's his nephew. Yeah, I

95
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: think it's his brothers son related. Yeah, Perkins last name

96
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: running back. Yeah, kind of in the bloodlines, right, yep? Yeah,

97
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: not making pies now making pies. You you looked at

98
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Paul Perkins a lot. Yeah, how boys drafted? I did

99
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: Zee Elliott. Now that was if they took a running

100
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: back a little bit later, and sure, fourth overall, Is

101
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: he a deep threat? I mean no, this is this

102
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: is a guy that with the Giant. The Giants don't

103
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: have a home run hitter per se as at running backs,

104
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, if you look at there and really what

105
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: they do Perkins, Shane Vereen got they got steady, kind

106
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: of grinded running backs. Perkins has got. He's one of

107
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: those guests. It's got initial movement, can make one guy miss,

108
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: but then it far as extending runs, not so much.

109
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: They just don't have that. I mean, you know, the

110
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 1: Cowboys are blessed to have a guy like Ezekiel Elate.

111
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: It has that ability to finish runs. And really the

112
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: Giants don't have that steady kind of handing the ball.

113
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 1: Get what they can breaking the casual run, but nothing

114
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: that would make you alarm about the way they play

115
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: or the way they run the football. Al Perkins nothing

116
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: like the rookie from the Chiefs last night. Oh Kareem Hunt.

117
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: He had himself a game pretty good. Oh my fantasy team,

118
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: so it's very happy. I'll start. But after that, Paul

119
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: Perkins one hundred and twelve carries last year, four hundred

120
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: and fifty six yards, four point one average, No touchdown,

121
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: still looking for his first NFL touchdown comes Sheppard had

122
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: his first running or last year. I don't like talking

123
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: about right guys, that's right, celebrating in the end zone. Yeah,

124
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: I just think it's you know, you need to find

125
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: a way to be Mickey brought up the point last

126
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: year the Giants were able to finish the game in

127
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: Week one by running the football. They kept the ball

128
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: away from Dallas, They made some he first downs, you know,

129
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: running the ball late, and you know, I mean Dallas

130
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: has got to be on the screws and not allow

131
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: them to have to deal with you know, with that.

132
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they need to find a way to make

133
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: this a game where they make Manning play in long

134
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: yarded situations. It affects the way that he plays. The

135
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: longer yarded situations you put him in, the harder it

136
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: is for him to have success. Talked about it a bunch.

137
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: Twenty nine percent of the time this team goes three

138
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: and out. That was last year. Not a lot has

139
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: changed other than adding you know, really Brandon Marshalling and

140
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: adding the tight end. We'll see if that really makes

141
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: the difference for them. But their inability to run the

142
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: football really hurts them. Rob. Yesterday you were writing about

143
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: the practice, and fortunately for the Cowboys, it's pretty much

144
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: the same practice report as it was on Wednesday. Of course,

145
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: they're practicing as we're speaking right now and kind of

146
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: wrapping up things for the week. But the Cowboys fortunately

147
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: had only the same limited player in Jordan Lewis, even

148
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: though coach Garrett said that he was going to be

149
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: doing more. Yeah, maybe some team snaps, I believe is

150
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: what he's said. Has been working that way, but he's

151
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: the lone question. Market looks like I think a Woozier

152
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: seems ready to go. As far as the rookies go.

153
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Woods has been practicing, Xavier Woods, Ryan Switzer's not even

154
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: on the injury report, so that's a good sign. Some

155
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: of the guys that have been banged up, Chaz Green

156
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: has been taken left guard snaps, Tyrone Crawford looks to

157
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: have some type of role in the defensive line rotation Sunday.

158
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys a pretty good health shape. Two things

159
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: I learned from practice today or five minutes I was

160
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: there today or yesterday today, the tours are flourishing here,

161
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: Yes they are. Could barely walk through the hallway Hey,

162
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that. What's going on? And I realized, Oh,

163
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: it's the Friday before the season opener. At number two.

164
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins are vacating and they're going to Oxnard,

165
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: California to set up camp because their next game is

166
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: against the Chargers. Out there, they're gonna be practicing on

167
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: the River Rich. Yes, they're gonna put up tents and

168
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: they don't know maybe when they're gonna get back. So

169
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: that's breaking news, isn't it? An you think cowboy related?

170
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: They're using the Cowboys facility? So did the Rams for

171
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: a while? There you go, it's kind of a regular

172
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: So did the Saints. Yeah, let me ask you this though,

173
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, going back real quick, ta if I could, though,

174
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: you know, the with the comfort level with a Woozier,

175
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, because Mickey's thought, you know, you're gonna have

176
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: to play dime package stuff. And I'm interested to see

177
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: how they're gonna play against Evan Ingram. And I know

178
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: that's a guy that you haven't got to. I mean,

179
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: we were kind of going through names and stuff. I

180
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: wonder how you know, and just what you guys feel

181
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: about him playing in that matchup right there. I don't

182
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be him totally all the time, But

183
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: what about him? How are they going to handle Well,

184
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't you have more of a comfort level with Byron

185
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: Jones doing that, giving his ability to cover tight ends?

186
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: So then what's your comfort level with Cavon Frasier playing

187
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: deep safety? See that? Well, I mean, what if it's

188
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: if it's what if it's what if it's Heath Fraser. No, No,

189
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying, well in the slot, not Byron Jones, you know,

190
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: because they've practice Heath down there off they do practice

191
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying though, and I know it

192
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: it kind of takes us away, but I just feel like, though,

193
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: if no Beckham, They're gonna have to go to other things.

194
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about from a standpoint of how you

195
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: match up in this game, because you know, he hasn't

196
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: practiced much in training camp, but now he's going to

197
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: get thrown into a pretty big situation having to carry

198
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: a guy that's a pretty good downfield threat from what

199
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: I've seen the preseason games and for what I saw

200
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: from when he played at Old Miss. Well, maybe they're

201
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: not in man because you know, one of the other

202
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: things they've done on that dime defense when they've only

203
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: had one linebacker, They've brought Heath down and somebody in

204
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: the slot. They've played single high play zone in the

205
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: back and then had a Woozier in the other slot

206
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: Orlando on the other side. So they've had about three

207
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: different formations of defense right that they've been practicing. And

208
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine they're going to roll some stuff up

209
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: to try to confuse Manning. If you can't get to him,

210
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: you're better confused. Yeah, yeah, I think that's gonna be. Yeah,

211
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: that's something I think that you need to keep an

212
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: eye on in this game. You know, how how are

213
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: they going to handle the different packages that you know,

214
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: because what will happen with Evan Ingram. They'll line him

215
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: up as in the backfield in line flexed out, So

216
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: you have to find him. You can't allow him to

217
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: be a big player in this game, especially if they

218
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: do a good job of covering. We've seen the past

219
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: with Scandrick in his ability last year to cover, you know,

220
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: cover Shephard. You know how gimpy is Beckham going to be?

221
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: You know, he might be compromised. They're gonna have to

222
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: find somebody to throw the football too, or they snap

223
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: him the ball. No, they won't. I saw an interesting

224
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: tweet discussing the fact a lot of discussion over the

225
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: offseason was about how teams are going to be watching

226
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: tape on Dak figure out ways to beat him, the

227
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. Obviously the Giants will or his kryptonite last season,

228
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: and everyone's saying and he I thought he had a

229
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: great response this past summer. Maybe it was at training,

230
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: camper the exact time it was, but he said, Hey,

231
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: I've been watching tape two right, and now that he's

232
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: going against a defense just like the Giants, how do

233
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: you guys think he will prepare? To me? It comes

234
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: down it's not all about Dak. I mean, you're right,

235
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: he's They did some things to kind of keep him

236
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: in the pocket and contain him and force him to

237
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: make throws, and there weren't always receivers open. But I

238
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: we just talked about it on our roundtable segment our

239
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: Keys to the Game a few minutes ago, which you

240
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: can catch on Dallas Cowboys dot com. Down and distance

241
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: for me is is huge. You mentioned it for the

242
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: Giants first down stuff. You're right, it's huge for the

243
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: Cowboys too. I mean last year they had thirty two

244
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: first downs in two games. Sixteen times Dak was facing

245
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: third and eight or longer. And that is just I mean,

246
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: what can you draw are to convert? Those really hard

247
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: to convert. And that's with Ezekiel Elliott playing in both

248
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: of those games. But you'd like to think with Zeke

249
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: in the game, they got a better chance to get

250
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 1: into second, five, third, and two. Things like that. They

251
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: ahead of the change, stay ahead of the change. That

252
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: to me against this type of defense, that is the

253
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: key to the game for me. Well, and I liked

254
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: what you said earlier and also blueprint the red zone offense. Yeah,

255
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: that was kind of going to what Mickey was saying

256
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: the other day about these defenses just didn't let these

257
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: teams score at all. Yeah, this is a these are

258
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: high powered offenses. Yeah, this is gonna be tough and

259
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: in space is tough to fight for down in the

260
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: red zones, especially with the way the Giants play in

261
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: their secondary and they have guys that can cover, that

262
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: can chase. You know that don't give you a lot

263
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: of room. They don't make it. They give you tight

264
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: window throws. You have to take opportunities. And we talked

265
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: about last year the game. In the second game they

266
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: had no red zone opportunities, but the first game they

267
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: were one of three in the red zone. Right, the

268
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: Giants one of the best teams in the league in

269
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: the red zone, and when you get inside the thirty

270
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: they're even better than that. So yeah, it's you know,

271
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: you just can't go in there and kick field goals.

272
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be about finding ways to score touchdowns. The

273
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: Giants were three of three, so they missed an extra

274
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: point that first game. Yes it was Josh why they

275
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: end It wasn't John Brown, It was the guy who

276
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: was at ain't gonna be Josh Brown anytime soon. Well,

277
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: he was missing that first game and it was a

278
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: kicker they had for that one week. Yeah, that's why

279
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: they had money. Yeah, they have a rookie kicker. That

280
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: Ross is his name. Yeah, I saw some interesting notes

281
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: about that. This is the first time they've ever started

282
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: a season with a rookie kicker. Not that that matters,

283
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: but we're talking about a game that has come down

284
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: sure very close to a lot of field goals and

285
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: you're ruining up against Dan Bailey, Mister accuracy The Cowboys

286
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: clearly have the advantage in this one. They really really do.

287
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: And you're right, Tae. If it comes down to having

288
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: to make long field goals even even extra points that

289
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: we've seen y Yeah, we've seen this. You know, we've

290
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: seen this. We've seen this script many a day. Yeah. Now,

291
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: you were talking about Evan Ingram, but I want to

292
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: talk about a Cowboys tight end and we haven't seen

293
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: him in a year. But James Hannah. You mentioned him, Mickey,

294
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: Where do you see his role being for this game

295
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday? Oh? I think that one they go to

296
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: tight ends that James Hannah's on the field. Uh, and

297
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: that's one way they can help minimize any problems. If

298
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: you know Lal Collins struggles, you know, you put another

299
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: tight end over there. Uh, you don't have to take

300
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: up your running back. So yeah, I think it's huge

301
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: that they have both Hannah and swam Back on the

302
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: field and they can do multiple things with their tight

303
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: ends in blocking situations, but also two guys that can

304
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: get across the field and catch the balls. So that's

305
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: something they I thought they sorely missed last year because

306
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: Escobar was a one trick pony and evidently that trick

307
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: wasn't real good in Kansas City. Got yeah, I think

308
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: that to me though, that Mickey's right. And this is

309
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: where you're gonna see thirteen personnel, one back, three tight ends. Yeah,

310
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: and you know, and they're going to find a way.

311
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: The Giants are gonna have to find a way to defend,

312
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, the extra tight ends, and especially if you've

313
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: got a guy like Swaim who can make plays in

314
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: space catching the football. I think Hannah we saw in

315
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: the preseason he you know, a little bit underrated in

316
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: that regard, but he's no more as a blocker now.

317
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, they find a way. Some of the biggest

318
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: plays they had running the football last year in the

319
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: second game was on the edge, and that's where you

320
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: have to find find a way to attack. You got

321
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: to you gotta crash these ends, you wherever you want

322
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: to do. Crack him, block him, shield him however you

323
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: want to do it, and get the ball to the outside.

324
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the way they're gonna have to run

325
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: the football. And one way with those guys on the field,

326
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: even if they go three, one way to slow down

327
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: that Giant's rushes to continue wanting that waggle play where

328
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: you'd exactly fake the run up the middle and you

329
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: have a naked boot and those tight ends crossing the

330
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: field and now which one you're covering, you know who

331
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: you're ready for, because you can't use all your linebackers

332
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: to go with those tight ends because the next time

333
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: they may hand it off and then you get faked out.

334
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: Very underrated trade of Dak Prescott is his way the

335
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: ball handle that that that right there, We've seen it.

336
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: The one big play if you remember the touchdown in

337
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: the second game, was a fake sweep to Zeke going

338
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: to the left and they take Williams all the way

339
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: across the field and that was just off a left

340
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: hand play, fake him spin and then fire the ball

341
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: down the field. So Giants are aware of that, but

342
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's a great weapon to have you allowed

343
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: to run that play again. Why not? Aside from the

344
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: playoff game, I feel like those two Giants games just

345
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: haunted Dak Prescott last season. They were the last yeah,

346
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, the division games, just felt like he couldn't

347
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: get any movement at traction at all. So I just

348
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna come out hungry this Sunday you

349
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: realize he threw for more yards than Eli Manning did

350
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: in that first game. Yeah, but I mean what I'm

351
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: saying is that was he's a team guy, you know.

352
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: He wants to bring this team that victory, especially that

353
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: first one right there. So we're gonna get to enactis.

372
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: few years, more than a million service members will transition

373
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: from military to civilian life. Veterans face unique challenges when

396

00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: great deal. But we mentioned it prior to the break.

418
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. The guys that we expect to

419
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: be in sweatsuits come this Sunday. These seven inactives that

420
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: are possible for this Cowboys team. Of course, let's explain it. Obviously,

421
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: fifty three on the final roster, but there are seven

422
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: on game day that are inactive, and now you go

423
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: down to forty six. So I have a few names

424
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: here I'll just mentioned and you guys kind of fill

425
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: in some blanks or let me know if you think otherwise.

426
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go first with the quarterback, and I think

427
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. Then I think a wide receiver. Obviously them

428
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: carrying six, you're gonna have Noah Brown. You agree on

429
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: this so far? Oh Rush? Brown's me he doesn't agree

430
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: with Rush? Yeah, you know what you see Brown to

431
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: hear the rest of them before I say Brown, go

432
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 1: fort Okay, I think Cooper. I think Jonathan Cooper. Right,

433
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: They've been waiting this week to really gauge Chas Green's health,

434
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: so I'm going to go there for that one. Then

435
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm thinking more Jordan Lewis. Honestly, I think that's kind

436
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: of our expected one. Anthony Hitchens okay. And then even

437
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: though he just brought was brought in, I don't know

438
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: if he's necessarily ready and fans may disagree with this,

439
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: especially with rookie DBS. But Banet ben Wickery I think

440
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: will be the other one. And then lastly, I'm having

441
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: a hard time and this is where I want to

442
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: talk to you guys about this. We gotta have a

443
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: running back out there. So you know last year Alfred

444
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: Morris had success against them Week one. Later on in

445
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: the year it was more Darren McFadden, but you got

446
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: to seek in this game. He's hungry. You want to

447
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 1: play him as much as you can. Coach Garrett has

448
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: come out and said that where are you leaning? Yeah,

449
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if you keep five running backs active

450
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 1: because now keep in mind, Keith Smith, your fullback, has

451
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: been healthy practicing all week. He's on the injury report,

452
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: so full practice for him, Rod Smith for special teams.

453
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: So to me, it might come down to either Darren

454
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: McFadden or Alfred Morris. That's where I'm thinking. One's a

455
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: primary backup to Zeke and the others inactive. We'll see

456
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: Micky who you got? Yeah, same thing? But who who

457
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: would you guess out of those two? Um, who's played

458
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 1: the best out of the two. Well, Alfred Morris has

459
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: showed the most. Yeah, Um, but then who did he

460
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: play against? Yeah, it's one of those two guys. And

461
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: then you have to decide if it's Um, do you

462
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: still need a wide receiver out? Yeah? I need. I'm

463
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna play. I'm gonna play with five because my fifth

464
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: one is gonna be is gonna be my punt kickoff

465
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: return guy. Yeah, So I don't I can't play with six.

466
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: So Noah Brown's Noah browns out. I had Noah Brown

467
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: in my mind. When you start going through the names,

468
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, okay, good, good good. I'm in the same

469
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: boat with her though as far as who would be

470
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: the inactive running back. But if you go on, if

471
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: you go on who has played better or has shown

472
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: more in the preseason, and Mickey, I know you're gonna

473
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: disagree with me about the level of competition, but I'm

474
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: I'm I'm almost positive in my mind that Alfred Morris

475
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: is outplayed Darren McFadden And so with that being said,

476
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: I would probably lean towards taking Darren McFadden off the

477
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: field and going with with Zeke Morris. See, I thought,

478
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: I thought even if Morris had to start, if Zeke

479
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: got suspended, I would consider starting Morris just because I

480
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: feel like that first second down you get what you need.

481
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: Third down McFadden, yes, or your third down type back anyway. Yeah,

482
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: but I could see you made the point about Rod

483
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: Smith being needed for specialty. D Smith for sure, And

484
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: I know some fans may disagree because they want McFadden

485
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: and Morris both out there, but they're one and the

486
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: same sometimes, and so returning kickoffs I've got if I'm

487
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: gonna have number ten active and that would do both. Yeah,

488
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: Ryan Switzer is gonna return kicks and punts for me

489
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: in this way because that was one thing McFadden was doing,

490
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: by the right. That's true. I'm usually got to bring

491
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: up the different traits that each of them bring. You

492
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: could use Rod Smith there too, if you him be inactive,

493
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: he could be your guy. But yeah, I me personally,

494
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: if you're thinking about special team stuff, Switzer is a

495
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: guy I need, and then Smith, Rod Smith's a guy

496
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: I need. I don't necessarily need McFadden only for kickoff

497
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: return stuff, which is kind of minimized these days. Yeah,

498
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: because if they just not gonna be watching the ball

499
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: go overhead. Usually, Yeah, it is get all fired up

500
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: for the first kickoff of the season and then it's

501
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: so we're comfortable here saying that it's out of those inactives,

502
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 1: one of them will either be Darren McFadden or Alfred Morris.

503
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: You're leaning more towards McFadden. I'm leaning towards mcfadd. If

504
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: you if you tell me who is played, if they

505
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: if they clearly, if both are equal, if you feel

506
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: like that both are equal, and the only thing you

507
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: really need McFadden for would be kickoff return right right, So,

508
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean I think the guy that I think the

509
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: guy that's I think that that Morris has come into camp.

510
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: He's obviously he was in shape. He showed up. You know,

511
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him the nod in this. If

512
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: we have to make one or the other inactive, I'm

513
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna make McFadden in active. You think it's Ben Rickery

514
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: instead of Elliott. Elliott probably can contribute on special team. Yeah,

515
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: I think Elliott to me can cover kicks, he could play.

516
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: I mean I watched him do this. He could cover kicks.

517
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: He could also play as a wing and the punt

518
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: or the a tackle the punt return. And I can

519
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: also watched him play on the arts on the punt team,

520
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: and he could also help you on the punt return

521
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: as a blocker. So I think he's I think. And besides,

522
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little leary about my linebacker situation with if

523
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: you talk about with Jalen Smith, if you talk about

524
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: with with also then with with the rant not playing

525
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: a whole lot in the training camp, I mean, maybe

526
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: you get a situation you don't want to be light

527
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: at linebacker. I don't believe. So you're good with the

528
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: Woozier being the next man up at cornerback. I think

529
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: we have to be at this point, you know what.

530
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. Okay, I'm okay with him because no,

531
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm just asking no, no, And that's why I asked

532
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: the question earlier. Yeah, because I feel like that A

533
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: Woozier is gonna have to play in this game as

534
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: your dime linebacker. I mean, it's your dime player. Now

535
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: there's your dime player. He's gonna play in the slot.

536
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna play linebacker, he's gonna play. You know, they're

537
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: gonna put him in all over the place. But you

538
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: draft show. That's why he was drafted. Absolutely. If they're

539
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: doing a good job with the front four stopping the run,

540
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: then here's one way they can cover that linebacker spot

541
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: is you just play one. You've got two guys in

542
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: the slot, A Woozier, Scandrick and Sean Lee is your linebacker, right,

543
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, but you gotta be able to stop the run.

544
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: You gotta stop the run. You gotta be able to

545
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: tackle and get them into situations where you know, darn

546
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: well they're throwing one of the worst in the league

547
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: last year when it came to third downs, one of

548
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: the worst. Yeah, well, let's hear from the callers. We

549
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: have one on the line, Ernesto in Virginia Beach. What

550
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: is your question? How are we doing? Guys? It's been great,

551
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: Thank you, good good. A few things. First of all,

552
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: somebody's game is going to come down to who can

553
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: run the ball the best. You look at last night's game,

554
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: New England had to respect Kansas City's running game and

555
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: they made Alex Smith look like Aaron Rodgers. So that's

556
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: going to come down. Um, and I think we're gonna

557
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: run it well no matter who's in there, m Zeke

558
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: or Morse or McFadden. U. Secondly, I was a little disappointed,

559
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: but Tam I know, was on the practice squad, but

560
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: who just kept showing up larding me a lot of jails.

561
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: George Selby a couple of years ago. UM, can't wait

562
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: to see what he can turn into. And Yantly, I

563
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: think not week one, but probably towards Week five. Taco

564
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: Charlton and Jalen Smith are really going to be contributors

565
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: on this team. You look at preseason, each week they

566
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: got better, especially Taco from the first preseason game to

567
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: the last. So I think these guys are going to

568
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: develop point in the system. They're gonna be big contributors. Brian,

569
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: if I ever own a team, you're going to be

570
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: in my GM. Thank you, Hey, Mick, give you a

571
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: hard time. Oh he got muted, Sorry you broke up? Yeah,

572
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: wad He's gonna say mother Nature, muting mother Nature. Thank you.

573
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: So first, you know, I thought he brought up a

574
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: good point about he believes it's going to come down

575
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,719
Speaker 1: who can run the ball the best. You've brought that up,

576
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: We've discussed that. Getting the last night's game. I think

577
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: that's little bit different you had. As Mickey mentioned earlier,

578
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt just showed up for a great game and

579
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady dealing with some different pieces missing from his offense.

580
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: But for the Cowboys coming back to their run game,

581
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: he said, it didn't matter. Do you agree with the

582
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: McAdoo logic, m Now, the runner matters. They need Zeke

583
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: in this football game. He is too much of a

584
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: home run threat. And I've said earlier this week he's

585
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: a guy that on a run that should get you

586
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: one yard, he gets you three or four and then

587
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: he can break something. And I don't one thing about

588
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: McFadden when he was the guy a couple of years ago.

589
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: And I like him as a runner and he's a

590
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: great professional, but there were runs. There were yards left

591
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: on the field when he was the back. There they

592
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: meat left on the bone. There was meat left on

593
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: the bone. I mean in terms of when you look

594
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: at the number of touchdowns they scored when he was

595
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: the guy a couple of years ago compared to what

596
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: I think Zeke had fifteen touchdowns last year. Like that's

597
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: that is a huge difference. What do you always say?

598
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: He runs for touchdowns, runs the ball into the end zone, Right,

599
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: That's what the offense has to do, right, He's yeah,

600
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: and the runner does matter. And before we move on

601
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: and talking about Ezekielly at the TRORO hearing ruling will

602
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: be before five pm, around five pm, No, it will

603
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: be today. But Ezekie Elliott And one thing we haven't

604
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: discussed about his game coming into here, and this was

605
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: heavy at training camp. He really worked on his passing skills. Yes,

606
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: and that's something that Dak has been comfortable with him

607
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: and how much of a passing threat he might be

608
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: in this game that he wasn't as much last season. Yeah,

609
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: and that's another thing when we talk about who could

610
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: be inactive, do we think about maybe leaving mcfaddener Morris

611
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: on the bench. Zeke can play all three downs, he

612
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: can he can be an every down guy for you.

613
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: And Scott Lenahan apparently said yesterday, look, when you think about, oh,

614
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: could he be suspended or could he could he keep

615
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: playing after week one? We're gonna wear him out regardless.

616
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: And he's a guy that's hard to take off the field.

617
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's absolutely right. I wouldn't worry about that,

618
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: and I think, yeah, his role could be I mean,

619
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say sixties snaps, but he's gonna be on

620
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: the field a lot. Saying that's another way to slow

621
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: down that pass rush using him as a receiver, Yes, exactly,

622
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: because we saw them using him as a receiver quite

623
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: a bit, and then he certainly can help him that way.

624
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,719
Speaker 1: Every compete period it seemed that he was involved with

625
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: there was some one on one stuff where he was

626
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: able to get loose. And you know, but I'm always

627
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: from the other end of this though, too. If the

628
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: giant splits, you know, you want Ezekiel at standing there

629
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: picking up blitz Us. In my opinion, so you have

630
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 1: to weigh, you know, when do you want to get

631
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: him in the route or when do you want him

632
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: to stand in there and help your quarterback get the

633
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,239
Speaker 1: ball out of his hand. Rob, Let's hear it from

634
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: your pole for the last one of this week. Yes,

635
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: so we went with a giant centric pole today. How

636
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: can the Cowboys beat the Giants? And we've covered a

637
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: lot of those topics. I gave you four in today's pole.

638
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: The key to winning score touchdowns is that what a

639
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: person who has the most points on the board will win. Wait,

640
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: you're you're such a practical guy. All right, do you

641
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: ever ride end today? Did you? Mic? I would have

642
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: used Marinelli's Did you hear Maridelli? What do you say

643
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: play football? Oh? They said they were asking him something

644
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: about that you limited teams to points last year. You

645
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: were fifth in scoring. One of the best, he goes,

646
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: is that's your goal, he goes, My goal is to

647
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: give up one less point than we score. It's a

648
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: good goal. It's always a good goal to strive for.

649
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: All right. Hell, he helps me all the time with

650
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: goals all the time, All the time. All right, all

651
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: these are important, But what's the biggest key pass protection

652
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: for Dak? Pass rush against Eli, the running game, or

653
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: red zone efficiency? Really close poll today, twenty nine percent

654
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: say pass rush gotta get to Eli, gotta get more pressure.

655
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: A tie for second twenty seven percent run game and

656
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: red zone efficiency, followed by protecting Dak Prescott. I know

657
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: you have a lot of notes over there, Mickey. How

658
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: many sacks did the Cowboys get against Eli Manning in

659
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: those two games last season? Got three the second time around?

660
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: For you, the second time around, first game, he didn't

661
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: hurt them last year. They hurt themselves by not scoring

662
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: in the red zone. So that's my red zone. That's

663
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 1: my vote. Ze efficiency definitely, when you kick field goals

664
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: from the five and seven yard line, you're asking to

665
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: get beat. Yeah, that's why. Again, the Giants are very

666
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: very difficult, and they they can keep you out of

667
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: the end zone. They're gonna win a lot of games.

668
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean they obviously they beat the Cowboys twice doing that,

669
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: and that's that's how they play football. I Mean, they're

670
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna make it tough on you down there. They're

671
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: gonna cover you, They're gonna put pressure on you. They're

672
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: gonna choke the run. So yeah, if you you have

673
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: to find a way, my vote on that poll would

674
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: have definitely And that's one of the on the Xerox

675
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: blueprint that we had red zone offense. You know, the

676
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna yeh, the Cowboys are gonna get in

677
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: the red zone. You know, the Cowboys are gonna get

678
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Now, how do you finish drives?

679
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: That's gonna be to get they start kicking a bunch

680
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: of field goals and keep the giants around. Never Mind,

681
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: never mind, that's that's just that's not gonna be a

682
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: recipe for them to win. I agree. Now, let's talk

683
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: about this. A week makes a huge difference here in

684
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys Land. A week ago we're talking about who will

685
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: make the fifty three and if they'll keep three quarterbacks. Mickey,

686
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: you agreed with the Cooper rush. So I think now

687
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: we're not we have nothing to complain about because we

688
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: are forced to accept Kellen Moore as the backup at

689
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: least this week one. Is everyone comfortable with it? I

690
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: mean I've seen it as hey, they have the confidence

691
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: in him. He's comfortable with his offense. He's been here

692
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: for almost three years now here he is. Yeah, I

693
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: mean what what do you guys feel like they've been

694
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: never comfortable with the backup quarterback at all at all? Then,

695
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: you know what, he makes a point. But but if

696
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: you had to play, if you had to play with

697
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: one guy just in comfort fact, let's okay, maybe comfortable

698
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: was a wrong word. No, no, no, I don't know

699
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: it's a wrong word at all. It's the right word

700
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: because that's why. Yeah, that's right, it's comfortable. Yeah, that's

701
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: that's there. You go. Good point. Yeah. See to me,

702
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: I think that you always would love to have a

703
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: quarterback that you feel like you could put in there

704
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: and you know, not worry about and not worry about it.

705
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: You know, the Cowboys for years had a guy like

706
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: a Danny White that could come in, you know, early

707
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: before that, Craig Mooreton. They've always had, always had players

708
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: they have backup quarterbacks that could come in and win games.

709
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: And then you know, we went to an era where

710
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys were winning Super Bowls, but boy

711
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: they were doing it with Bernie Cosars of the world

712
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: and people like that, see Berline, Yeah, exactly. So Rodney Pete. Yeah,

713
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: you want it. You want to be able to have

714
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: a guy you can really and this is what it

715
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: really comes down to. The Cowboys coaches are comfortable with

716
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. Is could Cooper Rush be a better player?

717
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: Pretend absolutely he could, but good then he can develop

718
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: at least Yeah, and that and if and if if,

719
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: if Dak Prescott can play the whole entire season, you know,

720
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: knock on wood, as they like to say. But to me,

721
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: it is it's just about comfort. We might not like it,

722
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, they don't care what we think. But but

723
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: but if you look at how I can understand and

724
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: being in that side of the building at one time,

725
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: I understand what coaches go through. Nobody asked Nobody asked me,

726
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: but didn't. They didn't ask me for my opinion. But

727
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: a question for you guys, if you're looking at comfort

728
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: level week one is the guy they cut and this

729
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: is hindsight, but it is the guy they cut. Would

730
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: you be more comfortable with Luke McCown in this situation

731
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: just based on his time in the league, number of years,

732
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do as a backup. You know,

733
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: they Cooper Rush. I get it. You bring him back.

734
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: He's a developmental guy, Okay, you want a veteran Kellen Moore.

735
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: I know there's the history with Scott Lindahan, but McCown

736
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: was probably the most on paper resume guy to be

737
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: in this position and they let him go. Teams, I think,

738
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: if I think, I think if McCown had come in

739
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: last season, I think it would be a little bit mad.

740
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: I know if I'm okay with that, But I'm okay

741
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: with mccount. I mean, I watched the one game, the

742
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: one start he had, you know, gets Carolina and you

743
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: know he's spinning the ball all over the place and

744
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: they're moving the ball, and that's all I want. Yeah,

745
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: give me the guy's gonna it's Mickey would say, give

746
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: me the guy's gonna move the offense. And it might

747
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: have been different story had he not got hurt. He

748
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: got hurt executed, because I don't know how healthy he

749
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: would have been either at the end. Anyway, you know,

750
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: we said comfortable, and we're never comfortable. I agree with you, Mickey,

751
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: and I think this Cowboys front office, executives, teams, they're

752
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: all feeling so much more comfortable than they wore at

753
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: this point. Last year when they were sitting there with

754
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: rookie starter quarterback Dak Prescott, and then oh behind him

755
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: was Mark Sanchez, right like just a right who had

756
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: literally just arrived. You're right, So I think we're gonna

757
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: see how this plays out. Knock on wood. We don't

758
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: have to hope there's one of their improvements. That's one

759
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: of their improvements here. So we're gonna take our final

760
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,960

00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 1: we're worried about well, because I think people forget about it.

807
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: Oh I never forget. I don't forget about the ingredients

808
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: in those Papa John pizzas, the vegetables, you know, they

809
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: just kind of bring them in fresh all the time,

810
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: and the pepperonie you asked DA approved. Then you can't

811
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: go wrong if you get Papa Johns and absolutely you

812
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: can't go wrong because we're still waiting for your cold pizza. Brian.

813
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: You you left us hanging on that one. Yeah, I

814
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: need to figure that out. Cold pizza is the best.

815
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: It truly is, and I guess you guys can enjoy

816
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,040

817

Speaker 1: So before we get to our guests, we're gonna do

818
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of a game here. And Rob Phillips,

819
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,680

820
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: we taken from Cowboys? Break? Are we going with our deal?

821
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: I think we go with our Let's go with our deal.

822
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: Let's go with we are our own people, we are,

823
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 1: we are our own crew. We got two crew members

824
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: new from Talking Cowboys last year, Tay Brian. We're doing

825
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: a thing called rank Them. Okay, it's very simple, very

826
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: simple game. We just go around the table, pick a

827
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: guy on either team that you think is going to

828
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: make an impact, a big impact, big influence on the

829
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: outcome of Sunday's game, and we'll review them early the

830
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: next week. Okay, So can I interrupt and just tell

831
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: Kent to go ahead and give him a call because

832
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: I just got a text that John's ready, Kent is

833
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: working on it. We are ready to go. But let's

834
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: just you wanna go around the table real quick? Yeah,

835
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: let's just get our names. Okay, Mick go. I'm sorry.

836
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: I was taking care of you know, the game rank them. Oh,

837
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: you're trying to pick a player. It's a game we've

838
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: been playing. Oh, MALIEK. Collins. There you go. No explanation needed.

839
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: I guess none. Tell you got I got cold. Beasley

840
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: mentioned him early this week. I think, oh, Beasley is

841
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: going to be a guy you might be in consideration

842
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 1: for Player of the game. All eyes on Ezekiel Elliott.

843
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: They're preparing for a running back, but let's give him

844
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. Brian Shawn Lee, Sean Lee the general. Yeah,

845
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: gotta play. I gotta play some tough defense here. It's

846
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a run past. He's able to make plays

847
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: in both areas. I'm gonna go with Dez Bryant to

848
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: try to get a vertical threat for the Cowboys, try

849
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: to open things up against Norris Jenkins on Sunday. So

850
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: we got MALIEK. Collins, Shawn Lee, Dez Bryant, and Cole Beasley.

851
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: Week one of Rank them will go revisit that next week.

852
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: Did you have any predictions with any of your guys

853
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant, you think he's gonna score a few touchdowns.

854
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: I think he'll throw up the X one or two times.

855
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 1: I do absolutely. I think his time And I asked

856
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: Garrett about this last week, the time on task he's

857
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: had with Dak this year, it makes a difference. They

858
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: kind of know where each other is gonna be with

859
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: the ball. And when you think of because Dez is

860
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: missed time, you know, this is his first full off season.

861
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: I think he's benefited from that with Dack. Yeah. I

862
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: think Cole Beasley was the one talking about that the

863
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: other day. He said, Dez is ready. Yeah, I mean,

864
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: and you know it's it's a it's a it's a matchup.

865
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: Though that he has had a little problem, some problems

866
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: with the last two games. You know, if you look

867
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: at where Jenkins, Jenkins relish just the fact of playing

868
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: against des Bryant, you know he realizes the level in

869
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: which Dez Brian is viewed around the league. You go

870
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: out and shut a guy down like Dez Brian, a big,

871
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: physical wide receiver, you know, people notice that about you.

872
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: They don't call. You know, you say Norris Jenkins is

873
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: a gambler, a guesser, and all those things. Now they

874
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of talk about Norris Jenkins is being a pretty

875
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: damn good cornerback. He is, Yeah, he is. And I

876
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: mean I think that they valued their secondary so much.

877
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: You got you got great cornerbacks and then he got

878
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: Landing Collins. Yeah, Landing Collins makes a big difference back

879
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: there at safety, and you know he could be that

880
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: extra guy. He's the guy that if you don't account

881
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: for him down in the box. You know, say you

882
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: get hat on hat on the front seven and you

883
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: get everything kind of blocked up. But then here comes

884
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: Landing Collins, number twenty one, walking down in there, and

885
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: then he's going to make the tackle. It looks like

886
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: it's going to be a seven or eight yard gain,

887
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's a gain of four or

888
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: a gain of three because Landing Collins, you know, he's

889
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: just he's got that rare ability to play the run,

890
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: be physical. But also take whoever you want to throw

891
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: the football to, whether it's Witten, he could play in

892
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: the slot, he can line. I mean, it doesn't matter

893
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: where you play him. That has that kind of ability

894
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: very similar to what you know a guy like Darren

895
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: Woodson used to be his ability to play at a

896
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: lot of different levels. And I liked what Mickey said

897
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: with Malie Collins. I know you said no explanation needed,

898
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: but the fans think that this game is going to

899
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: really depend on getting to Eli Manning. I think Malie

900
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: Collins could be that guy. You're talking about a new

901
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: middle rction. But Malie Collins is so comfortable, he's ready,

902
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 1: He's ready for a second season. You've got any guesses

903
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: on maybe some sack numbers for us? Mickey, Oh, he'll

904
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: get a couple against that Giant's line. You watch out,

905
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: He's going to cause some problem out front. Yeah, prediction, man.

906
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: I think that Justin Pugh is the one tackle the

907
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: left guard. I think you have to kind of be careful.

908
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: He's the one guy. John Jerry on the right side

909
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: is a guy you maybe want to go at because

910
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: he handled. He doesn't handle the quickness, he doesn't handle

911
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: the power as well. What you don't want to do

912
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: with these guys just rush them down the middle. Make

913
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: these guys have to move, Make these guys have to

914
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: be athletic players. I could say Pew is a good

915
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: Richberg the center I think is a good player as well.

916
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: The rest of them, though, try and take advantage of

917
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: moving these guys around a little bit. Two young tackles

918
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: on the edges. I think they're both twenty three years old,

919
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: So how do they handle? You know? Could the Cowboys

920
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: get some edge pressure? That's gonna be a key too. Absolutely,

921
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: all right, we have our guest on the line. John,

922
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us today. I know

923
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: you you've talked to all these guys multiple times. Very

924
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: familiar with mister Spagnola to my right. But John, thank

925
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: you again. And they have some questions for you. Fireway boys.

926
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: Come on, I need that update on Odell Beckham. You

927
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: tell me you're gonna give me Yeah, questionable. I would

928
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: imagine he's going to be a game time decision. They'll

929
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: bring him a couple hours before the game. They'll see

930
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: if he can go with his ankle, and we'll see

931
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: what happens. He did say the other day it was

932
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: interesting that he would not want to play if he

933
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: has to tape his ankles. He wants to go with

934
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: the natural and not have to wear tape. I'm not

935
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: sure if I buy that. I think if they tell

936
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: him you have to wear tape to play, he'll play.

937
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: We will see. I think right now it's a coin toss. John.

938
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm interested to see you know a lot

939
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: of us talking about the Giants and that, you know,

940
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: not that so much. The offensive line gives up sacks,

941
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: but they give up pressure, they give up hits, you know,

942
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: and Manning is you know, it succumbed to that. It

943
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: affects the way he plays. Though, Were you surprised though

944
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: that the Giants did not address their offensive line? You know,

945
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 1: they go with the Titan Evan Ingram is a nice pick.

946
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: I mean, it would probably be a great pick one day.

947
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: But are you surprised the Giants did not try and

948
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: do anything at their offensive line this year? You know, Brian,

949
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that nothing happened looking at the big picture perspective.

950
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: But when I looked at the individual options offseason, I

951
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: think the one guy that could have worked was Whitworth,

952
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: the veteran tackle that went to the Rams. But he

953
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: just got so much money. I don't think he would

954
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: have been a fit in the Giant's budget. And then

955
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: when the Giants picked you know middle of that first round.

956
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they see a guy like Ken Robinson

957
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: from Alabama was great to step in and play. I

958
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: don't think they liked the offensive lineman in the draft,

959
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, So they figured there was

960
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: a better chance of Eric Flowers taking a jump making

961
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: an improvement than one of these rookies stepping in in

962
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: year one and being better than what Flowers is now. Hey,

963
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: great talk. We've been talking a lot about this game

964
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: coming down to the run game. People know Ezekie Elliott,

965
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: but tell us more about Paul Perkins and what you

966
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: expect from the second year running back. I'm a big

967
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: Paul Perkins guy. I think he's very elusive. But I

968
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 1: think when you get back to the offensive line, like

969
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: the question that Brian asked, they allow way too much

970
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: penet traction, especially in the middle of the line, and

971
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: too many times Perkins is looking at one or two

972
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: guys in the back room before he can get going.

973
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: If he can a couple of steps in and he

974
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: can get one on one with a linebacker, he didn't

975
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: make that guy miss. It's just a matter of that

976
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: offensive line can give him the room to use his skills.

977
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: And make guys miss to get to the second level. Hey, John,

978
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: one matchup we're really talking about as Lyle Collins at

979
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: right tackle making his debut for the Cowboys at that

980
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: position and JPP probably being the primary matchup for him.

981
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: Where Where is Pierre Paul in terms of kind of

982
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,439
Speaker 1: rounding back into form. It looked like he was last

983
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: year and he's had a nice preseason coming off of

984
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: that hand injury he had a couple of years ago,

985
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: a horrific injury. Where is he right now in kind

986
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: of getting back to form opposite Olivier Vernon? Yeah, I

987
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: don't think you guys like this answer, Jim Po. Paul

988
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: probably looked as good this summer as I've seen him

989
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: in three or four years. To be honest with you.

990
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: He's been dominant in the limited snats he's had in

991
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: the preseason. He's using those long arm to get into

992
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: those right tackles. He's speed to get around the edge.

993
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: He's been dynamic. So I think it'll be interesting to

994
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: see how LEL. Collins does against him in his first

995
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: ever NFL started right tackle, and maybe how much help

996
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: he needs right exactly. Hey, here's a serious question. Now,

997
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: I want to know, did you guys give Genores Jenkins

998
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: the nickname jack Rabbit or did he come accompanied with it? No,

999
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: he came with it, he said his high school coach

1000
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: at practice. So I'm kind of running around and being

1001
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: all quick and jumping around and he called in jack

1002
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 1: Rabbit and that's where it came from. Well, John, thank

1003
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: you so much for all of this great insight. We

1004
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 1: will see you Sunday night at at and T Stadium.

1005
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: Have safe travels here and we'll talk to you soon.

1006
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, Sorry for the sports spot. I gotta one

1007
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: up to talk to he Ben mcindoefore, already, you're not

1008
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: much more important than talking to us. I'll guarantee you

1009
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: absolutely good. Thank you, Thank you Mickey for getting that

1010
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: great interview with us, because he You're right, he gave

1011
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: us a lot of good insight there. You know, when

1012
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: we go around the league and try to find people

1013
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 1: to talk about their team, John's tops. Yeah, I don't

1014
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 1: think we can find any guys that are. He's not

1015
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: going to sugarcoat it. He realizes that that you know,

1016
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: he's right about JPP. He's absolute right about that, and

1017
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: he's right about the offensive line. I mean, they've got

1018
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: issues in the middle of the line, and that you

1019
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: know they they they have struggles, and so yeah, he's

1020
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: always going to give you the fair assessment of really

1021
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: what's going on with this football team. Everybody's got issues

1022
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: the first week of the season at least, question right,

1023
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: because you haven't seen it. Yeah, so we'll see there's

1024
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts. But for the Dallas Cowboys,

1025
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: I want to know, let's make some gang predictions here.

1026
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,240
Speaker 1: If you guys, who would just give us a score?

1027
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: We could put it on the rank of and we

1028
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: can who's keeping score here? I got it, we got it,

1029
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: the secretary, you start first, Mickey, I got the Cowboys

1030
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: twenty three twenty. Everyone's feeling really comfortable with that. Twenty

1031
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: is like a field goal to win it kind of

1032
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: a thing? Or yes? Probably you think it's like a

1033
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: last second field goal. Yes, this is gonna be or

1034
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: is it gonna be a very close game just like

1035
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: everyone last year against the Giant, They're gonna mob Dan

1036
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 1: Bailey after he kicked. Yes, absolutely all right, and he'll

1037
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: be interviewed on is that NBC does something NBC? Yeah, absolutely,

1038
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: Does he get a turkey or what does he get? Nothing?

1039
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's only for Thanksgiving holiday. Sorry.

1040
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 1: I got the Cowboys twenty four or fourteen defense first,

1041
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: but then they pull away, they get going. The Giants

1042
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: can't figure it out. Odell doesn't play, doesn't play, doesn't plays.

1043
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: Odell put that down as their bold prediction, as a

1044
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: good Bowl prediction, though Brian brought us you know, I've

1045
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: kind of gone back and forth in my mind on

1046
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: this one because I think the teams really are pretty

1047
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: evenly matched. I think that the Cowboys defensive offensively very explosive,

1048
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: and but the Giants can match that. You know, I

1049
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: wanted to say that it was going to be a

1050
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: low scoring game. I'll keep it as low scoring game.

1051
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys win this game twenty one seventeen.

1052
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to be able to kick

1053
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: field goals, so they're going to have to score touchdowns.

1054
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys defensively can do enough if they can.

1055
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: You know, if we talked about yesterday, I ask you

1056
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: guys some questions about interceptions, turnovers. That's going to be

1057
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: the difference in this football game. Right now. People talk

1058
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: about running the football and all that, but can the

1059
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: Cowboys take advantage of some giant misques. Hopefully Eli Manning

1060
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: will throw you a couple. Hopefully Dak Prescott won't throw

1061
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,959
Speaker 1: them any that'll be the difference in the game twenty

1062
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: one seventeen Cowboys. What do you think was the key

1063
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: last year that the Cowboys you're going to defense held

1064
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 1: them to no more than twenty points in both games.

1065
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: That the Cowboys defense, I mean, they did that to

1066
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: so many teams, and I think, but we're talking about

1067
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: the Giants. No, they did a nice job. If the

1068
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: Giants did not have the big play guys they have.

1069
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 1: If you look at really, I mean the big plays

1070
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: that they made, there was like one big one big catch,

1071
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: one big run. They didn't they didn't give up. The

1072
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys didn't give up a bunch of big plays. And

1073
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: when you play the Giants, that's usually the problem. You know,

1074
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: usually you get a Beckham slant pass that goes for

1075
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: sixty five yards or they are usually yeah, they run

1076
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: play action right and use that and they've they've struggled

1077
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: running the ball. But that's been a big Eli staple

1078
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: over the years. You use the run, you set up,

1079
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: you go play action and he goes deep. Yeah, sometub

1080
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: at the trap pass, stuff like that that they do.

1081
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: That one pass they threw down that they threw the

1082
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: seam in the first game to the tight end down

1083
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: the seam. See, that's what I worry about. Plays like that.

1084
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: Can you know, can the Cowboys match up and you

1085
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: know the Cowboys defense recipe defense for success or recipe

1086
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: for success on defense. Don't give up big plays they

1087
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 1: Mary Nelly's right, I'm gonna give up one less point.

1088
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: That's his that's his mantra, give up one less He

1089
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: could care less about the yards and Manning didn't have yards,

1090
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: they didn't run the ball, they didn't have success throwing it.

1091
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: It's just the Cowboys could not take advantage of the

1092
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: things that their defense gave him in those games. Well,

1093
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 1: I would have to say tackling, at least in the

1094
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: second game, Sean Lee was an absolute monster. I think

1095
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: he's anything getting past him. And I like what you

1096
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: say as far as he's your guy to watch because

1097
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: he feels comfortable. Yeah, not realm Just get him down,

1098
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,919
Speaker 1: get him down, don't let him move, and keep going.

1099
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: So there you go, and Rob, let's hear your prediction.

1100
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go because we just to your point, Brian,

1101
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: you talked about big play guys, and we'll see if

1102
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: Odell plays in this game. But they have they added

1103
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: new weapons. They got Evan Ingram, They've got Brandon Marshall.

1104
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have Zeke Back. I'm gonna say this is

1105
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: a little more higher scoring than we think it'll be.

1106
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go you guys basically said first team to

1107
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: twenty wins. I'm gonna say first team to thirty wins,

1108
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: thirty one, twenty seven. Cowboys get some revenge. Somebody said

1109
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: it's going to be an overtime game here. Oh oh,

1110
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: that'd be a late ever good ever good win. It's

1111
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: overtime game. It wasn't bad two years ago. It wasn't

1112
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: bad Philly. The Philly game with Dak last year, that

1113
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 1: was pretty good. Did you enjoy the dissertation last night

1114
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: on overtime? I did not hear that. This nobody. I

1115
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: enjoyed them hearing how important social media has been for

1116
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: Did you hear that? I guess I missed that part. Yeah.

1117
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth made the comment, and now Michael's agreed with them.

1118
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: Al Michael's legendary broadcaster. They showed j They showed JJ

1119
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: Watt's fundraising page, and I think he's closing in on

1120
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 1: like thirty million. He's over twenty five millions. Right, it's

1121
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: a power social society. It will be in the death

1122
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: of society. Okay, except for raising money for people that

1123
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: need it. Thank you are the people that should be

1124
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: using Yeah. Yeah, but it's bad except for the what

1125
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: ca Yeah, it's only bad when it's not good. Hey,

1126
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: if I guess this couple of minutes to be what

1127
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: what could go bad? What do you think what would

1128
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: be the I mean, just a bad scenario, just one

1129
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: bad thought. It's something that you would say, Man, if

1130
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: I if this happens, if Kellen Moore's playing, okay, that's

1131
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: that's fair. But if there's no If if Mike Mickey says,

1132
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys can't stop the run and all of

1133
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: a sudden, the giants are just staying ahead of the

1134
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: chains and they're just wearing you down that way now,

1135
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, running and play action and all that stuff.

1136
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean to me, that would be that would be

1137
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:14,439
Speaker 1: a big, a big issue. Last night, both teams guys

1138
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: were falling like flies. Yeah, And one of the things

1139
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: Marinelli pointed out yesterday. What he worries about is I'm

1140
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: going to be playing a lot of guys that we

1141
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: had to regulate their snaps during preseason. Very fair point,

1142
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: that we had to regulate their snaps during training camp.

1143
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: And now I'm going to ask that Benson Mayo was

1144
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: the Tyrone Crawfords. The should be a woozier to go

1145
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: out there, Jalen Smith right out there and maybe play

1146
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: forty eight to seventy plays. Yeah, yeah, And he was

1147
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: somewhat concerned about that should be. That's good though, if

1148
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: you want to concern no matter how good this offensive

1149
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: line is, I the Giants pass rush and defensive pressure

1150
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: stopping the run. To me, if they get into third

1151
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: and nine, third and ten, third and eleven, they're not

1152
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: going to put a lot of points on the board.

1153
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's a big challenge for this Cowboys

1154
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: offensive line. I think they're up to it, all right,

1155
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: Well all of us. Mickey, you'll have pregame coverage on
