I thought he was I thought. 30 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 3: Yesterday. I just make sure we can talk about it. 31 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 3: I just want to make sure I know that I 32 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,639 Speaker 3: know this player. I just want to make sure. 33 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: That I saw I saw what you tweeted. 34 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 5: That's why I was like, yeah, we're talking about it, okay, 35 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 5: But we'll get to give me some injury updates. 36 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: First. 37 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: There are a couple of guys did not practice. 38 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: Again, the path you were going down. A lot of people, 39 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 3: a lot of people listen to the show. 40 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: Now, you know, a lot of people don't know. 41 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 5: If they don't know, like, we have to be very 42 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 5: careful pay the NFL can sometimes give our people a 43 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 5: phone call and say that we're tampering because we talked 44 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 5: about players. So we're very careful about talking about players 45 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 5: that are on other teams. But I think it is 46 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 5: official that he is on the wave of Why I 47 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 5: think he's on the wave of wire. 48 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: At this point, we could talk about the young man. 49 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 5: So we can talk about all right, we're gonna get 50 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 5: to that. Let's talk first about injuries. Ric o'dowdell, jay 51 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 5: Ron Curse, where are we. 52 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 7: Rico dawdo sounds like with the conference called that Mike 53 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 7: McCarthy just had with a handful of media, that there's 54 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 7: optimism that Rico can take the field on tomorrow. He's 55 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 7: been participating in the walkthroughs as well as the meetings, 56 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 7: and of course today is going to be another practice, 57 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 7: but it sounds like Rico's going to participate in today's 58 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 7: practice as well, and the needless pointing up. We'll see 59 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 7: if that's a game time decision, but there's at least 60 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 7: some optimism there as far as Ceeddi Lama asked him, 61 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 7: you know, straight up yesterday before the injury report came out, 62 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 7: said hey, you got banged up a little bit, how's 63 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 7: the ankle? 64 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 8: How you feeling? 65 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 7: He said, and I'll quote, I'll be out there getting 66 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 7: active end quote, And then injury report came out. He 67 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 7: was a full participant yesterday, so it looks like he's 68 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 7: a full go. Jay Ron Curse HARKing back to what 69 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 7: I said yesterday, I'm not feeling confident about him, and 70 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 7: that was prior to what McCarthy just said. 71 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 8: Not an hour ago. 72 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 7: He said that Curse has to practice today to have 73 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 7: even a remote chance of taking the field tomorrow. I'm 74 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 7: going to go ahead and take that as you can 75 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 7: probably scratch Jayron Curse. 76 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 8: We'll see if that's the case. But needless pointing down there. 77 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 7: So uh yeah, backs, so I say, penciling more oney 78 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 7: Thomas probably sprinkling some Israel mcwambo as well. 79 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 8: But I want to see him, yeah, I want to 80 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 8: see him. 81 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 7: I don't see jay Ron taking the field tomorrow and 82 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 7: not tomorrow, yeahrow'. 83 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: It's Thanksgiving already. 84 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 7: So yeah, so that's where we always that Michael Gallup 85 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 7: had he missed yesterday because of a personal reason. 86 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 8: He's back today. 87 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 7: He was in the locker room last night, but McCarthy 88 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 7: said he'll be back in practice today. 89 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 8: Uh, and everyone else is expected to take the field. 90 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: Awesome, So it looks good. Ric O'Donnell jay Ron cursl too. 91 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 5: We'll keep an eye on especially jay Ron Curse heading 92 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 5: into tomorrow's game. 93 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: So let's talk about this this player by the. 94 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 9: Way, real quick on that, because we broke down the 95 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 9: commander's logan Thomas and stuff. 96 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: How they how the safeties play. 97 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 9: Against him tomorrow in this game I think will be 98 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 9: really important. So if Curse can't go, is it you know? 99 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 9: Thomas Wilson those. 100 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 5: I mean, anything's a better cover guy between Curse and Thomas. 101 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 9: Thomas, I think, and I mean, I don't know, Patrick 102 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 9: might disagree with me, but to me, I see a 103 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 9: guy that when you watch he plays. 104 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: With a little bit more of a burst. 105 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 9: I think that Curse is more straight lined and if 106 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 9: you ask him to have to flip and turn, he's 107 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 9: a longer guy. 108 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 3: And it's just natural when you when. 109 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 9: You scout these guys and they're they're high cut, and 110 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 9: we say high cut, they they're wasting their short upper body, 111 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 9: you know, and high waisted, and so when you watch 112 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 9: those guys play, they don't naturally look smooth. 113 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 3: You know, there's some. 114 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 9: Guys that can that can pedal turn long leged guys 115 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 9: and it's like, well, you know, that gets your attention. 116 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 9: But generally guys that are long limbed don't look quick, 117 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 9: and they're not quick, but. 118 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 3: They can play down hill. 119 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 9: Thomas to me, is a little bit more shifty because 120 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 9: when you watch him play, when you watch him play 121 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 9: on special teams, his ability to avoid. You know, Kurs 122 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 9: had a really good rush the other day where he avoided, 123 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 9: but it was downhill and it was a little bit 124 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 9: of a slight movement. If I had to say, let 125 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 9: me cover with a guy, I'm gonna throw Thomas. I 126 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 9: think he's got a little bit more corner skill to 127 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 9: his game. 128 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, I do agree. 129 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 7: I believe Thomas is a better cover guy because of 130 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 7: all the reasons that Brian said he hit him all 131 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 7: on the head. It's not that jay Ron is worse 132 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 7: at coverage. He's different in how he covers. So what 133 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 7: you're going to give up to get wan Ye's quickness 134 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 7: in his burst is you're giving up the length. You're 135 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 7: giving up that loganoma, You're giving up that wing, that 136 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 7: wingspan that you're going that you have with jay Ron Curse. 137 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 7: But with Curse being that longer defensive back, he doesn't 138 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 7: have the ability to change direction as quickly as je Ye, 139 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 7: who was obviously a little bit close to the ground, 140 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 7: lower center of gravity, and Wanya can be a little 141 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 7: bit more physical, not to say that jay ronni is 142 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 7: not physical, but Wanya is more compact, a little more style, 143 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 7: ready to kind of drive through the guy. So two 144 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 7: different types of coverage. But wan Ye does have a 145 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 7: little bit more burst, a little bit quicker, but he 146 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 7: doesn't have that length, that wingspan, that he said that, 147 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 7: Brian said, if you're going against Logan Thomas, that'll come 148 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 7: in handy time or two. 149 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on. 150 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 5: Let's talk a little bit about Darius Leonard. He is 151 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 5: a linebacker that was with Indianapolis placed on waivers. So 152 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 5: the first thing is he has to clear waivers. I 153 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 5: think what I read is basically his contract right now 154 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 5: will cost roughly about six point one million is where 155 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 5: his contract is for this year. And then if he 156 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 5: gets past waivers, and obviously he'd be available to sign 157 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 5: with whoever he chooses to sign. My question is, first, Brian, 158 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 5: give us a scouting report on what you've seen from 159 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 5: him this year, because we know traditionally this has been 160 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 5: a guy that's been a really good linebacker, one of 161 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 5: the better linebackers in the league. 162 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 2: What is he now at this point in his career? 163 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 3: Okay, team you need to worry about. 164 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 9: His first potential claim is Chicago and I say this 165 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 9: because his best years was with Matti Eberflus. Now, if 166 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 9: you're the front office in Chicago, are you thinking about 167 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 9: making a change from your head coach? Do you bring 168 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 9: in a guy like this to you know, if Matt 169 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 9: Eberflu steps up and says, hey, we could really use 170 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 9: this guy. 171 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: I coached him. I know this guy. 172 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 9: You know he could help us. You know, we're trying 173 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 9: to rebuild his team. You know, Ryan tolds. Those guys 174 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 9: could say Poles could say, well, yeah, okay, thanks coaching, 175 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 9: because that's the team. I think you'd have to worry 176 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 9: about the claim just because the head coach has familiarity 177 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 9: with the player. Now, there's some other teams that could 178 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 9: use a linebacker. You know, Philadelphia clearly is a team 179 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 9: that could use linebacker help. The thing about it is 180 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 9: and they could maybe feel like, well, Dallas could be 181 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 9: in this, but well Dallas claim Well, to make sure 182 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 9: we don't have to compete against Dallas for this player, 183 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 9: we can go ahead and make the claim ourselves. Philadelphia 184 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 9: is behind you in the in the in the claiming order. 185 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would be worried about them. 186 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 9: Yeah, so Philadelphia is a team that might they because 187 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 9: of the situation there. 188 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 3: Buffalo is another team. 189 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 5: They just lost in the Kobe Dean Yeah exactly. 190 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, so yeah, so them, Buffalo. There's some teams that 191 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 9: are looking for linebacker help. If you're a Dallas Cowboy fan, 192 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 9: you these shows that we did leading up to h 193 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 9: this period where Leonard gets released, we kept talking about 194 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 9: if you could go trade for somebody, who would you 195 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 9: trade for. We were trying to name positions. You need 196 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 9: a corner, maybe, maybe you need a linebacker. Maybe, you know, 197 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 9: we were naming positions. I think the football gods just 198 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 9: gave you one here. I think they gave you one, 199 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 9: you know, and sometimes you don't get another chance. We'll 200 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 9: see out in PACIFICA. Those guys upstairs are really good 201 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 9: moving money around. You know, they could find ways to 202 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 9: move money if they get a chance to cruit somebody. 203 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 9: They're good at doing that because they can make deals work. 204 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 9: The player still has it. Watch three games of him 205 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 9: play yesterday. I was looking to see if he lacked movement, balance, 206 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 9: body control, anything to make me go. 207 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 3: Away from that. 208 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 9: Now I'm calling some people. My gang is seven around 209 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 9: the league and trying to get an idea. Why would 210 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 9: the Colts do this? You know, this is always something 211 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 9: that you have to worry about. You see the tape. 212 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 9: The tape looks positive. They don't play him in the nickel, 213 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 9: you know, now, Okay, Dallas doesn't play a lot of mickey. 214 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 5: They played dimes, and Dallas has plenty of guys they 215 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 5: can throw in there at linebacker the nickel. 216 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. They throw all those safeties in there and 217 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 3: play that. 218 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 9: So but this guy, he's got length, he's got instincts, 219 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 9: he's got the ability to finish. 220 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 10: Uh. 221 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 9: You know, there's a lot of really positive things when 222 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 9: you're talking about a week eleven, week twelve type of 223 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 9: a player that somebody says, ah, we're moving on. I 224 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 9: think you've got to be ready to pounds here if 225 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 9: you can. But the gamble is going to be do 226 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 9: you want to make that claim because that there's only 227 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 9: I think Buffalo's ahead of you, that team I brought up, 228 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,119 Speaker 9: Chicago's way ahead of you. 229 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: You know Chicago wants they probably get it. 230 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, Chicago, Chicago wants some. But that's because of Eberflus. 231 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 9: Right now, if you're the front office again and you're 232 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 9: Eber and you're the you're like, I don't want to 233 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 9: spend the money. 234 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: Might be like, I don't know if he's going to 235 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 2: be here. 236 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 3: That's that's exactly right, that's exactly right. 237 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: Those evaluations are probably. 238 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 9: Going, like you're trying to convince ownership that we're going 239 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 9: to spend money on a linebacker. Yeah, you know, and 240 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 9: and you know they and they got rid of roquant Smith, right, 241 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 9: and Roquan Smith is now watched you watch the Ravens 242 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 9: play and he's getting making every tax because you're like going, Okay, 243 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 9: whose bright idea was to let go of Roquan Smith? Oh, 244 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 9: we just didn't want to pay him. Oh now you 245 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 9: want to pay this guy. So yeah, there's a lot 246 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 9: of things going on here, Dallas. Dallas will tell you 247 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 9: they're always there twenty four to seven, three sixty five, 248 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 9: and I believe them on that, you know, but this 249 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 9: might be one with the with the with the football gods, 250 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 9: be an opportunity to add a piece that can help. 251 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 3: But we'll see. 252 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 9: There's a there's a lot of other teams that are 253 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 9: probably thinking the same thing you are right now. But 254 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 9: this guy could still play. The movement's there, the finishes there, 255 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 9: the lateral agility, the downhill player, the sideline the sideline guy, 256 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 9: the length for the position, and the fact that he could. 257 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 9: I don't I don't think he needs to come off 258 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 9: the field unless somebody tells me something different. But the 259 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 9: Colts played him like he was a two down player. 260 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 9: Maybe there's something else going on there. Well, we'll get 261 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 9: and and maybe the I know, these guys across the 262 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 9: hall from us hell lots smarter than we are. Right now, 263 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 9: we're just looking at the player and seeing it's an 264 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 9: opportunity to add a player that at a position that 265 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 9: they could surely use so. 266 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: That you wouldn't have available team. 267 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 9: Like I said, we were we were talking about, Okay, 268 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 9: what positions would you trade? Linebacker was one of them 269 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 9: everybody and everybody watches on a week to week basis 270 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 9: and they watch Evans play and they're like, oh, he's 271 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 9: been Okay, watch bell Man. That guy's playing off his 272 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 9: app plan out of his ass for being a safety. Yeah, 273 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 9: you know, but if you add a guy that's been 274 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 9: kind of an all Pro, all rookie player, that's. 275 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 10: Young, that still has that kind of ability by the way, 276 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 10: to a mix of defensive players that are really good, 277 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 10: you start thinking about adding him to a Michael Parsons 278 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 10: and Bland and like that's where that would feel. 279 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 9: That would free up Micah to now no longer have 280 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 9: to be off ball linebacker, which which the other day 281 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 9: against the Giants, he played five snaps of coverage and 282 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 9: they had three sacks. 283 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: You know, he did what he had to do, right. 284 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 3: He did a fine job of that, he really really did. 285 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 9: But that might if you have someone like Leonard, it 286 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 9: might make Micah be Okay, now, let's think of full 287 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 9: time Micah defensive. 288 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 2: End guy, which going into the playoffs. I love that. Yeah, 289 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 2: And a quick. 290 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 7: Bit of housekeeping because I saw that once the decision 291 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 7: was made by the coach, there were a lot of 292 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 7: Cowboys Nation who were kind of confused as far as 293 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 7: how waiver wires work the coast trade deadline and they're saying, well, 294 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 7: he's a vested veterans, shouldn't he be free agent? 295 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 8: That stops at the trade deadline. 296 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: So tweeted that out. That's a good that's a good 297 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 3: job because you. 298 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 5: Don't want you don't want teams just kind of letting 299 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 5: guys going in randomly. Now any team, yeah, exactly want 300 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 5: to make sure they have to go through a waiver. 301 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 7: So that's that's the biggest thing for fans to understand 302 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 7: is that vested veterans that doesn't matter. After the trade deadline, 303 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 7: everybody is subject to the waiver wire. And as far 304 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 7: as the waiver wire order, it is now based upon 305 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 7: the record of that particular week. So the Cowboys, as 306 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 7: we have this conversation, twenty third in the waiver wire order, 307 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 7: so they it's. 308 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 3: A lot of would have to pay. 309 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 5: That's I'm looking at like, I'm like, this is a 310 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 5: Philly kind of move. You go get a veteran guy 311 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 5: that nobody else wants to necessarily pay the price of 312 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 5: their contract, and you could use in the inn this 313 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 5: scenario where they need help right now with Nikobe Dan. 314 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, and they're giving you a free They're giving you 315 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 9: a linebacker that's young, that can play, and you just 316 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 9: are you willing to Are you. 317 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 3: Willing to pay the six million dollars yes?

You've seen what he can do before things 341 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 7: went awry with him in Indianapolis. I love that Rashaan 342 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 7: Evans is coming along. I love what Marquise Bell is doing. 343 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 7: I love that de Monk Clarke is taking the next step. 344 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 7: But if you when this kind of player comes available, 345 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 7: and for those that's all with some back issues, I 346 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 7: will still pay six million dollars for an eighty percent 347 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 7: Darius Leonard just trying for you in this defense, which 348 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 7: then allows Michael Parson to drop back down more for 349 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 7: de gives you not just depth at linebacker, gives you 350 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 7: a potential star linebacker. In addition to what Marquis Bell 351 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 7: is doing, Demon Clark and then Rashaun Evans rotating in 352 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 7: as well. And like you said, this is a very 353 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 7: Philadelphia Eagles type move, and the Eagles, if the Cowboys 354 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 7: don't place the claim, you just got to bet money 355 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 7: that Philadelphia and Howie Roseman will do it. So for 356 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 7: two reasons you should place the claim. One, you should 357 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 7: want Rashaun Ivans and the money should not deter you. 358 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 7: Darius Lennond and the money should not deter you. Two, 359 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 7: you don't want him in Philadelphia because you don't want 360 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 7: to have to face him on December tenth and possibly 361 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 7: in the playoffs as well. So you got enough reasons 362 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 7: to say six million dollars will work that out. 363 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 5: The other thing I would love about a move like 364 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 5: this is I look at veterans like Leonard really good players, 365 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 5: and even if let's assume for a second that there 366 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 5: is some injury that's kind of debilitating and over time 367 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 5: he's getting worse, if there is maybe some nerves, right, 368 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 5: if that is the case, I still think guys like 369 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 5: that that were so dominant at their position, if they're 370 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 5: at this point, I would say, on a one year deal, 371 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 5: give them that carrot, which is championship. Do they have 372 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 5: enough left in the tank for the half of this 373 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 5: season that's left and the playoffs to give you. 374 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: Something that really can be extraordinary. 375 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I look at cause for him, he 376 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 5: might be looking at this is my last real shot 377 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 5: to get a championship realistically before I retire, And so 378 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 5: can you get that? Can it muster enough for him 379 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 5: to give you that extra whatever it's gonna take. And 380 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 5: so for me, I'm like, it's a it's a no 381 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 5: lose proposition. It's not a long term deal. From the 382 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 5: standpoint of money, I would look at it as it's 383 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 5: a one it's a half a season rental and let's 384 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 5: see what happens and throw the dice. 385 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: This is this is an all in kind of move 386 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 2: for me. 387 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 3: Get ready for San Francisco to claim him. 388 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: Oh gosh, put him with those linebackers. 389 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 9: That's like sometimes you sit there and you just you're like, 390 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 9: how did this happen? 391 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 3: How do we get we get to pull a claim 392 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: in for this guy? Yeah, you know, and you're and now. 393 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 9: You're thinking, if he if he goes to if he 394 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 9: gets through waivers, and there's people that believe that he might, 395 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 9: I mean, this is going to turn into I think 396 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 9: that it's you're gonna see which team really wants to 397 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 9: win this the most. 398 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: You really are. 399 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 5: But you know that's also the thing I personally, I 400 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 5: would go the route of I want to if I 401 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 5: want him, I'm doing the waiver just because if he 402 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 5: got to being just a free agent, I'm not sure 403 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 5: that the price wouldn't go up beyond that six point 404 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 5: one million for that. You know, you might end up 405 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 5: paying more money then, because I do think there are 406 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 5: some teams that are in the playoff hunt that are 407 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 5: gonna need some linebacker help, and this kind of player available, 408 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 5: I think you might spend more money than just playing. 409 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 7: This season has a chance to be the season has 410 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 7: a chance to be special. And then you add the 411 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 7: you know, the benefit of you could probably do this 412 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 7: in the same season that you induct Jimmy Johnson to 413 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 7: the Ring of Honor and the supposed curses broken. I mean, 414 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 7: let's just have some phone with this. It's Darius Leonard. 415 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 7: Let's not overthink it. You add him, and if it 416 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 7: doesn't work out, okay, fine, if it works out, then additionally, 417 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 7: you might have a mid term answer for the absence 418 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 7: of LV doesn't mean it makes you come off with 419 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 7: need a linebacker in April, but at least maybe it's 420 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 7: a one to two year bridge. 421 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. 422 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 7: So it's there's so many things that could go right, 423 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 7: and whatever could go wrong really couldn't hurt you, and 424 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 7: it's worth a six million dollar risk. 425 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 3: I think. 426 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 9: I think to me, there's two ways this is go. 427 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 9: Either you get him or Chicago gets him. Nobody else. 428 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 9: I mean, I don't. 429 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, if he ends up in Chicago again, 430 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 5: I have you missed an opportunity, but it doesn't hurt you. 431 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: Well, no, Chicago is the way ahead of you. Claim 432 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: you know. That's I'm saying. If he gets claimed by. 433 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 9: Chicago, you and you got nothing to do about it, 434 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 9: and we get the claim list and Dallas is one 435 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 9: of the three that claimed him. Now you're like going, Okay, 436 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 9: they tried, they tried, but I don't need him. I 437 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 9: don't need Dallas to pass on the claim. And then 438 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 9: all of a sudden, I hear San Francisco and Philadelphia 439 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 9: both claimed him. I don't need to hear that. Yeah, 440 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 9: you know, it's hard enough watching San Francisco pick all 441 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 9: players at the trade deadline. 442 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 3: Yeah you know, not anymore?

The pressure rate that they got in 515 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 5: games one through eight when they had those players was 516 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 5: thirty six point nine percent. 517 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: They were fourteenth in the league. 518 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 5: Since that time, three games nine through eleven, weeks nine 519 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 5: through eleven, they are down to twenty seven point five 520 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 5: percent pressure rate and they are thirty first. 521 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 2: In the league. 522 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 5: My question for you is, how is the loss of 523 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 5: those two players affected what they do when it comes 524 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 5: to the pass rush. 525 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 2: Are they blitzing more? How do they actually try to 526 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 2: get pressure? 527 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 3: They really don't. They Yeah, yeah, gave up? Well, no, yeah, 528 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 3: they do. 529 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 9: They they've actually they have tried to blitz a little 530 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 9: bit more and it's they've it's been a struggle for them. 531 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 9: Where they're going to win this game, and I mean 532 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 9: win this game for them defensively is with the two 533 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 9: defensive tackles. That's where this game is going to hinge 534 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 9: for them. I think their secondary is good enough to 535 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 9: play with the Cowboys. I do, but the problem is 536 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 9: the pressure, the lack of pressure They're going to try 537 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 9: and win the middle of the pocket with with pain 538 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 9: and with alan Jamin Davis the linebacker. I think it's 539 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 9: a really good player though kind of be a little 540 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 9: bit hit and miss, but it's gonna be about the 541 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 9: middle pressure push in the pocket. 542 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 3: Can you win with those guys? 543 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 9: Can you control the running games and then can you 544 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 9: get the push and then the secondary. I do like 545 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 9: Saint Juice. I think he's a good player. I think 546 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 9: Kendall Fuller is a good player in the draft. I 547 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 9: love Emmanuel Forbes Mississippi State. He's a thin kind of 548 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 9: a guy. He has made you know, made four starts, 549 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 9: but they've got some corners. Saint jews Can is one 550 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 9: of those guys that can defend the pass. I mean 551 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 9: and I mean defend the pass and like stick with 552 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 9: you knock the ball down. He's got fifteen of these 553 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 9: deflections and you watch them on tape. 554 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 3: I watched all the plays. 555 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 9: I'm like, how this guy makes place. So you kind 556 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 9: of break down the tape, go oh, all balls to him? 557 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 9: Both there you go, and you know you see him 558 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 9: knocking passes down, staying with guys, So how they the 559 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 9: pressure is going to be a problem. Dallas can handle pressure. 560 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 9: Dallas is good on the blitz pick up. Whether it's 561 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 9: it's that both backs are very comfortable doing that. The 562 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 9: line has done a really good job of sorting kind 563 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 9: of that stuff out and uh, you know, we'll uh, 564 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 9: we'll see. But if they could, those two guys inside 565 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 9: they have to block you just and the problem is 566 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 9: they're both disruptive. You know, you try and run the 567 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 9: ball and they're and they just don't sit there and 568 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 9: let grass, you know, don't kill the grass by just 569 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 9: standing there. They're they're moving, they're like knocking your guys back, 570 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 9: they're penetrating, they're getting inside, and they're just being very disruptive. 571 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 9: And especially when you try and pull guys or or 572 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 9: run schemes where they're up the field and now that 573 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 9: you know they're they're taking the there the lineman and 574 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 9: shoving them into the other lineman and now you can't 575 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 9: run the hump. I mean, you can't take your path 576 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 9: to pulling things like that. So when Dallas on offense, 577 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 9: it's gonna come down to can Tyler Smith, can be 578 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 9: Odish who played really well last week, and Zach Martin 579 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 9: we talked to him yesterday. I'm like, what are you 580 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 9: guys doing every week you're playing again, He's like, tell 581 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 9: me about it. 582 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know every week has some rough bats every 583 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 2: every week. 584 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 9: And he's having to deal with some guy that's you know, 585 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 9: that's that's an All Pro player. And so this is 586 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 9: this game. Offensively, will Hinge on the three inside for 587 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 9: the Cowboys against the. 588 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 3: Two for the Commanders. 589 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 9: There defensively because I think Dallas, like I say, I 590 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 9: think the Commanders can cover, but I also feel like 591 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 9: the Dallas can separate, can get can get some can 592 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 9: get some space against these as a really aggressive group 593 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 9: in the way that they play. But if you know, 594 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 9: with nope, with a lack of pass rush, give Dak 595 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 9: Prescott an opportunity to scan the field. These receivers are 596 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 9: I mean, these defensive backs are going to have to 597 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 9: hang on and I think they're capable, but I could see. 598 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 9: I'm not going to say it's like they've played. 599 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: Some bad secondaries. I don't think this is one of the. 600 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 9: Bad secondary they These guys don't have the edge players 601 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 9: that a lot of teams have, but where they're where 602 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 9: they're the best is at that defensive tackle spot. 603 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 7: Yeah, and so to your point, attack the edges, and 604 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 7: when you're trying to the ball attack the edges. The 605 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 7: Cowboys know that Alan Payne Combo all too well. It 606 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 7: is not something that you want to keep trying. That's 607 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 7: a brick wall, man, It is really a brickwall. So 608 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 7: you know, you have the running backs who have the 609 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 7: ability to attack the edges, they have the speed attack them. 610 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,239 Speaker 7: That way force guys like who aren't Chase Young, who 611 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 7: aren't Montes sweat and Sweat has been a thorn in 612 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 7: the Cowboys' ass time and again. So he's out of 613 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 7: the building now. So that's going to force longer coverage. 614 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 7: Windows to what Brian is saying, it's not that the 615 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 7: Commander's secondary is below Pard. They just are being forced 616 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 7: to cover for long periods of time. And that's going 617 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 7: to be advantage Cowboys because you're being forced to cover 618 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 7: it guys like Brandon Cooks and Ceedee Lamb for longer 619 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 7: periods of time. And of course Ceede Lamb is moving 620 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 7: around a lot as well. Jake Ferguson, I think that 621 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 7: he could have a nice game against the commanders up 622 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 7: the seeman at the second level, getting some yak against 623 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 7: eventually what will become a tired secondary from having to 624 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 7: cover for so long over the first couple of quarters. 625 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 8: So that's how you attack them. 626 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 7: Look at where the strength is and try to avoid 627 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 7: it because you you are still trying to get your 628 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 7: running game going. You've not established that as a strength. 629 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 7: They've established their defensive tackles as a strength. So no 630 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 7: point in playing into that game. Just simply say, hey, 631 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 7: we know you might be better at us there, but 632 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 7: we're better than you at the edges, and that's what 633 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 7: we're going to attack. 634 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 9: The one thing that Dak Prescott it any quarterback will 635 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 9: tell you is it's that they can handle the stuff 636 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 9: that comes off the edge. 637 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 3: It's when you get and we saw it last week. 638 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 9: In the game for the you know, for for Bryce Young, 639 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 9: when the middle of that pocket, when when you got 640 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 9: guys twisting the inside and there's pushed over and then 641 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 9: and then your center's just getting destroyed by tank and 642 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 9: then he's you know, you can't deal with inside middle 643 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 9: pressure kills offenses and and it's like I said, these 644 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 9: two guys Dallas, I'm hopeful, like I said, hopeful that 645 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 9: the odist continues on because he played last week. I 646 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 9: thought he was really really good they and I was 647 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 9: asking Zach about that yesterday. Got some of the running 648 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 9: game things going, it looked like they were in a 649 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 9: little bit better the cohesiveness of Okay, you gotta you 650 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 9: gotta be here, and I'm gonna be here and we're 651 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 9: gonna push this and we're gonna get outside or we're gonna, 652 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 9: you know, taking the steps that they need to do. 653 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 8: But Tyler Smith's been phenomenal. 654 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, left guard, Yeah, he has been well. 655 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 5: To be honest, I was gonna go there with the 656 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 5: next question. I think the left side of the line, 657 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 5: I think East these guys have been playing out of 658 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 5: their minds. My question for you guys, what do you 659 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 5: think of the of the right side. I know Terrence 660 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 5: still had had some issues there, but. 661 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 9: Last Stags no, last two games and I and I'm 662 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 9: not gonna lie. I was worried about Brian Burns because 663 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 9: Brian Burns, to me, was dealing with Hassan Reddick. That 664 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 9: was that, Okay, I'm going to give you a lot 665 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 9: of movement. I'm going to attack your corner. I'm gonna 666 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 9: dip underneath you. Oh no, I'm gonna run inside of you. 667 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 9: He did a great job of holding up in that 668 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 9: football game because he didn't let Burns and then we 669 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 9: knew when you run the ball at Burns you can 670 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 9: make some hay and and that's what they were able 671 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 9: to do. 672 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,959 Speaker 3: So he beat up Burns in that game. Uh, this 673 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: will be a little bit. He can actually maybe catch 674 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 3: his breath in this one. And then on the edges, 675 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 3: how do you. 676 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 2: Think Zach holds up against these defensive tackles. 677 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 7: I think Zach will hold up as well as Zach 678 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 7: Martin can hold up. And then that's that's a good thing, 679 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 7: because Zach Martin is always going to be Zach Martin. 680 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 7: But we we'd be remiss if we pretended that he's 681 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 7: going to win every single rep. He's not going to 682 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,239 Speaker 7: win every single rep against a fellow All Pro. 683 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 9: That's an honest opinion right there. Because there's some times, 684 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 9: and I think Zach Martin will admit there has been 685 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 9: some times where he's been a one legged football player 686 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 9: where all of a sudden, he's doing with power and 687 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 9: he hits a guy and it's like, uh, oh, you know, 688 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 9: I'm not moving this guy, and now he's moving me 689 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 9: a little bit. 690 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 3: You know. 691 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 9: I think there's been some times where Zach Martin will 692 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 9: will your in my mind and I and heart will 693 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 9: always be Zach Martin. But we're starting to see some 694 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 9: of those times where he's hitting somebody really hard and 695 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 9: it's like when you're catching that big lunker bass and 696 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 9: you're trying and set the hook and you can't move him. 697 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 9: Zach's kind of I can't move him. I can't move 698 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 9: that guy, you know. And back in the day he 699 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 9: would move that guy with the punch. He's holding on 700 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 9: really right, they're holding on to bad word he is. 701 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 9: He's having to fight a lot harder than he did 702 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 9: two three years. 703 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 5: It's not that I don't think it's that he's necessarily 704 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 5: like you say, he's not. 705 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 2: He's not worse. It's more a situation he's playing again. 706 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 2: He's having a badass Ye. 707 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 5: He's having to play differently too, Like you can tell 708 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 5: he's having to work on some of these guys. 709 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: Well before, it. 710 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 5: Looked very always looked very easy for Zach Martin, and 711 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 5: this year I had all I wondered if it was 712 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 5: just me saying it. I was seeing their plays where 713 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 5: it's like, man, that was a rough that was a 714 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 5: rough rush. The guy didn't get there, but it was 715 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 5: a rough rep. That was one where where Zach probably 716 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 5: had to take a deep breath in the huddlings and 717 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 5: be like, okay, let me keep myself. 718 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 7: Zach still has he still has the same armor he's 719 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 7: always had. But but there are a couple of cracks 720 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 7: in the armor, a couple of cracks in the armor 721 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 7: that comes with going against all of these bad asses. 722 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 3: Weakens and wearing a little bit. 723 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 9: I shouldn't say that because I said about somebody maybe 724 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 9: somebody else is slowing down, and they had six sacks, 725 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 9: but it was a question by But the thing about 726 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 9: it with Zach is that and he knows it. 727 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 3: When you talk to him, he talks about he brings up. 728 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 9: There was never a time you talk to him and 729 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 9: he would talk about he's like Mat Dexter Lawrence this week. Yeah, 730 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 9: you know, you know, he knows, he knows that maybe 731 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 9: that his you know, he's seeing, he's seeing ahead big picture. 732 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,719 Speaker 9: He's like, damn, he goes every week, I'm fighting one 733 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 9: of these guys, and you know, and there was a 734 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 9: time where every week that the other opponent was. 735 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 3: Going, damn, I'm fighting this guy again. 736 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, And I think Zach, I mean, he's he's battling 737 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 9: to a level where it's his His just a little 738 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 9: bit below where he is is still better than anybody else. 739 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 3: It's in the game. 740 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 9: But there was a time where he was the gold 741 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 9: standard for you know, like when you watch him play 742 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 9: it was hit control turned pen. 743 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 2: It's kind of what we're seeing from Tyler right now. 744 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 5: Like if you watch it, it's interesting because Tyler's playing some 745 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 5: really outstanding football and you could see several plays in 746 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 5: every game where he absolutely dominates the guy from him. 747 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 9: I mean absolutely younger, stronger guy. 748 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 8: Yes what I'm saying, and that ultimately it comes down 749 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 8: to that. 750 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 7: I mean, Zach Martin right now is still arguably the 751 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 7: best right guard in all of the league. And I 752 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 7: would say arguably the best guard because you look at 753 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 7: Tyler and you're like Tyler right I mean, we're also 754 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 7: talking about a thirty three year old and Zach Martin 755 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 7: and it's on the back end of the season. And 756 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 7: then when you look at who he's having to go against, you, 757 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 7: it can wear one a little bit, but he will 758 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 7: hold his own. He might not win every rep against 759 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 7: a guy like Painting Allen, but he can hold his own. 760 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 7: But what's promising to your turrent Steel. Question was did 761 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 7: he win every rep against the Panthers? No, but he 762 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 7: won most of them. And one that should flash and 763 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 7: show promise going forward was when the Tony Pollard right 764 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,719 Speaker 7: end and Steel is out there, it's eye hop all 765 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 7: you can eat. He's just stacked. It's just pancakes. He's 766 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 7: just bodying guys. So I think the right right side 767 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 7: will be just fine, especially considering the edges have been 768 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 7: weakened with the Washington commanders in those trades. 769 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I give anything. 770 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 9: And it's so unfortunate that that would happen with Frederick, 771 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 9: you know, with it with the signs and all that, 772 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 9: because right now, like if you had Tyler Smith, Frederick 773 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 9: and Martin all playing inside, I yeah, yeah, I mean 774 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 9: that would. 775 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 3: Be because the way Frederick. 776 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 9: Would cut the defense in half, the way that he 777 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 9: would get up the field. I mean, you that guy 778 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 9: at Philadelphi, we all watched it, you know, in that 779 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 9: money night games, pulling and doing. 780 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 3: Things that that was Travis Frederick too. 781 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 9: Travis Frederick was that guy that's you know, playing at Philadelphia. 782 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 5: Right now, all right, we're gonna take our final break. 783 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 5: We'll come back we got a little more commentary on 784 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 5: this matchup Cowboys versus Commanders.

We got 909 00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 5: I'm sorry question from Twitter from Brett Bender. He says, 910 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 5: how will the Cowboys handle the three games in twelve days? 911 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 5: Particularly from a practice standpoint? It says he feels like 912 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 5: they're always unprepared for at least one of those games. 913 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 5: What do you think of kind of how the Cowboys 914 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 5: handle it? What can fans expect from the standpoint of 915 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 5: their practice schedule and how they get ready for these 916 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 5: three games. 917 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy realized that sleep is no longer for the week. Yeah, 918 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 7: Mike said that at some you know, for the majority 919 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 7: of his coaching career he felt that quote unquote, sleep 920 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 7: was for the week. 921 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 8: And then he said, how stupid is that? 922 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? 923 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 2: It matters. 924 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 8: Yeah, so it matter. 925 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 7: They're they're you know, the coaching staff. They're very keyed 926 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 7: in on the GPS numbers of these guys, managing these 927 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,800 Speaker 7: guys workload. And that's why this week, two games in 928 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 7: four days, it's been basically three walkthroughs going into the game. 929 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 7: You're not going to see a full on practice. So 930 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 7: that's that's basically how the Cowboys are managing it. They 931 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 7: don't want to put any unnecessary reps or contact on 932 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 7: these guys with three games in eleven days. So I 933 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 7: think they'll be fine because I think m McCarthy's figured 934 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 7: it out and that's why they continue to do what 935 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 7: they do at home. 936 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 9: There used to be a fun time where you didn't 937 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,280 Speaker 9: have to play a game on a Thursday. 938 00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 3: After a Thursday. 939 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know that ten days. 940 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 9: We always we always were like surely like yeah when 941 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 9: the when the Thanksgiving Day game and then you got 942 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 9: the extra time to get ready. 943 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 3: Well, now the league says not so fast. 944 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 9: And so yeah, uh, I did notice walking into the 945 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 9: facility today. Then before a game here you are practice, 946 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 9: that helmet's on. You know, it's usually like you're thinking 947 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 9: about walk through, walk through, maybe a little bit maybe 948 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 9: it was slow, slow, slow. 949 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 3: And then maybe a little bit more to day, a 950 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 3: little bit more, but not. 951 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 2: To the point where enough to wake up your body. 952 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 3: Right, we're in helmets. Yeah, you know that. 953 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 9: I mean, I like, before practice, before a game, you're 954 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,839 Speaker 9: thinking like wow, But that's maccar I mean, I will 955 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 9: give him credit for that. There are things that I 956 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 9: will absolutely go after him on. But the fact of 957 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 9: the way his team he finds a way, he has 958 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 9: an understanding of how it is to keep his team upright, 959 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,800 Speaker 9: and the and the guys and gals I know in 960 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 9: this organization that that really managed. 961 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 3: These players appreciate that, you know what. 962 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 5: You know, one thing I'll point out you just mentioned 963 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 5: the kind of the back to back Thursday games. I 964 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 5: actually think that's an advantage for Dallas is why because. 965 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 3: Most play at home now. 966 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 5: Well not only that, not only that, but most times 967 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 5: when you're playing a Thursday game, you and the other 968 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 5: team are in the same boat. You both are coming 969 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,760 Speaker 5: off at least a Sunday game and then you're playing Thursday. 970 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 5: Cowboys are going to actually get a full seven days 971 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 5: of practice before Seattle when Seattle will come in playing 972 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 5: on a on a short week. 973 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 3: Are they playing tomorrow? They're playing Sunday? 974 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 5: They are playing. I was going to say that would 975 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 5: be an advantage if you're playing, but I guess the 976 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 5: beautiful thing is at least you got a seven seven 977 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 5: day week, so that's a normal week, and then you'll 978 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 5: get a ten day after that. So I still think 979 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,320 Speaker 5: it's a valuable thing for I don't think it hurts 980 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 5: to just push off that ten day week until after 981 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 5: the second game, as long as you're still going to 982 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 5: get a seven day. 983 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,839 Speaker 7: And it's a ten day week going into today week 984 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 7: going into the Phillish Philly, So there you go, because 985 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 7: that's a normal week for Philly. They still have seven 986 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 7: days between games. Cowboys getting extra two or three, right, 987 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 7: all right. 988 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 2: Let's get some picks. 989 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 5: What do you guys think is going to happen tomorrow? 990 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 5: Cowboys versus Commanders, Thanksgiving Day, three thirty pm at AT and. 991 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,359 Speaker 9: T State Logical tell you that they'll probably blow these 992 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 9: guys out, right, because they score fifty points every home game. 993 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 9: Right now, I don't think that's going to be the 994 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 9: I think this is going to be a tough game. 995 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,840 Speaker 9: I do, and I think Dallas will win this game. 996 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 9: But I'm looking more like I think there's some things 997 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 9: skill wise with these Commander receivers. I'll be interested if 998 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 9: Eric b Enemy decides in a short week, let's let's 999 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 9: test this Dallas run defense and see if they've kind 1000 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 9: of got things squared up a little bit. The Cowboys 1001 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 9: are their own worst enemy when they play run defense, 1002 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 9: when they get off balance, when they get turned, knocked around, 1003 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 9: stuff like that, So I'll be interesting if they challenge him. 1004 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 9: I'm going to say this is one of those games 1005 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 9: where Dallas finds a way to win it. It's going 1006 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 9: to be a twenty seven to twenty four game. I 1007 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 9: think it's going to be really really close. 1008 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 3: At the end. Dallas probably will have a lead and 1009 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 3: have to kind of hang on a little bit. 1010 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 7: I think it's close at the half, and then the 1011 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 7: Cowboys start pulling away for me until someone shows me 1012 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 7: that they can slow down the dominance of the Cowboys 1013 00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 7: at home, you know, until you see. 1014 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 8: It's not happened yet. 1015 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 7: So I do feel like the Cowboys are gonna win 1016 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 7: by a sizeable margin. This is still a Commander's team, 1017 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 7: although they are better in the secondary than people will 1018 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 7: give them credit for. They don't have the edge rushers. 1019 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 7: They have the two dogs in the middle, but not 1020 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 7: the edge rushers Cowboys offense at home, it's just become ridiculous. 1021 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 8: So it's a. 1022 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 7: Dogfight going into the halftime. Cowboys make some adjustments, Commanders 1023 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 7: can't Matt serve with that. Cowboys take it forty three 1024 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 7: to seventeen. 1025 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,319 Speaker 5: I think this offense of the of the forty nine 1026 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 5: I'm sorry now of the Commanders is I don't think 1027 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 5: they get enough credit for what they're doing. You look 1028 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 5: across the games they've played, they put up some points. 1029 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 5: Like they've lost some close games, but they put up 1030 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 5: some points. I think this is going to be a 1031 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 5: shootout tomorrow, and I don't think it will be a 1032 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 5: I don't think it will be a situation where the 1033 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,879 Speaker 5: Cowboys pull away in the first half or second half. 1034 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 5: I think this is going to be a shootout. I 1035 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 5: think it's gonna come down to final possessions. I think 1036 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 5: the Cowboys will win, but I think it's gonna be 1037 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 5: a close game, and I think it's gonna be a 1038 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 5: lot of scoring. I think the final score is thirty 1039 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 5: eight thirty four Dallas wins, and it'll be very similar 1040 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 5: to what they did against Philip Healthy and a lot 1041 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 5: of other teams year. 1042 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 2: They played them really really close, and just they just 1043 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 2: came up short. At the end of the day. 1044 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 5: They don't have enough to be able to get over 1045 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 5: that hump. And I think Dallas has a little more 1046 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 5: on the offensive side of the ball. But I do 1047 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 5: think it's gonna be a shootout. I think it's gonna 1048 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 5: be a fun game. For those that don't have a 1049 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,399 Speaker 5: rooting interest, and you got a rooting interest, it might 1050 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 5: be like heartburn after eating your Thanksgiving dinner. It might 1051 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 5: be heartburn. But hopefully the Cowboys come out on top, 1052 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 5: and I think they will. All right, we appreciate you, guys, Jones. 1053 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 5: We'll be back on Monday. We're not in on Friday, 1054 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 5: but Monday we'll be back. We'll tell you what when 1055 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 5: right and wrong for the Cowboys, and we will quickly 1056 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 5: start getting you ready for Cowboys versus the Seahawks.
