It's time to get back to work, fellas. 11 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: Nine games right, nine games to decide this season the 12 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: Filling four and three football team. Jerry Jones was asked 13 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: about that football team and their record. Not too happy 14 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: about that? Huh thinks it should be better? Is anybody 15 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: happy with it? Are you happy with it? No? Why 16 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: should be six and one? Six and one? Yeah? The 17 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: thing that made the thing I learned this weekend is 18 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: teams take advantage of players being out, like Green Bay 19 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: taking advantage of Kansas City not having their quarterback. I 20 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: wish you could have done the same thing against New Orleans. 21 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: You know, anytime a key players out of a game, 22 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: you got to take advantage of that. And that's maybe 23 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: what this team is. Maybe this team is a four 24 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: and three team. That's what the record says. Am I 25 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: right about that? Mickey? Yeah? Absolutely. And when you go 26 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: back and look at it, and you lose two of 27 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: those three games by two points, should have won both 28 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: of them. Sure, I'll give you the Green Bay game 29 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: for whatever reasons, and there were a lot of reasons 30 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: they ended up losing by what they did. But you 31 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: can't lose to the Jets, no, I'm sorry. And look 32 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: what these other teams have done to Sam Darnold the 33 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: last two weeks. Yeah, so even though they had a 34 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: lot of offensive guys out, he still felt like they say, 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: to get it done. Ninety two yard touchdown. Yeah, that 36 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the offensive tackles not being there. 37 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: This is Jerry's quote on the fan this morning. I 38 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: think that we have the potential. He's speaking about being 39 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: a contender. I don't think the way that we have 40 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: played so far we'll get us there on balance the 41 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: good and bad. Yeah, but he cites the health of 42 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: this team right now, the talent level, and the things 43 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: they're trying to do to improve moving forward. He said, quote, 44 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: I think we've got a chance to get to the playoffs. 45 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: And if we do, and if we're healthy, I think 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: we've got a chance to advance. He's being awfully realistic 47 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: about the situation right now. Well, when they do lead 48 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: their division, I mean when you see what they did 49 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: to the Eagles and it's like, okay, well how about 50 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: that on a consistent basis, Yeah, you know, you had 51 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: you had New Orleans. You're on the road, right on 52 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: the road in that place, and you hold them to 53 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: twelve points and all you can manage is ten. Yeah, 54 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, and and weird things happened. I know, you 55 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: lose two fumbles. One of them shouldn't have been lost. 56 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: Uh you you had a first and ten at the 57 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: eleven and you kicked the field goal. You missed the 58 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: field goal. I could find you three points real easy 59 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: in that game. Sure, And so yeah, you know that 60 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: was a winnable game. I'm sorry, and we knew that. 61 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: That's why. I don't know why when Jerry said that today, 62 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh, oh, he's unhappy. Well, they're all unhappy. 63 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: Go ask the head coach. Sure, go ask the quarterback. Yeah, 64 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: you know, go ask the CEO. They're they're all unhappy 65 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: that they're four and three. So and that's a good 66 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: thing because they shouldn't be satisfied, and especially with the 67 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: loss to the Jets. So we'll see where it goes 68 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: from here. And it's going to be a tough road. 69 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: You gotta go play Monday night. Then you got to 70 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: come home play Minnesota, and then the next three of 71 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: the four games are on the road, and one on 72 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: a short week after a long trip back from New 73 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: England on an afternoon game. And I imagine it we'll 74 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: get into the Giants probably as the week goes on, Brian, 75 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: but it's a different football team. It is different quarterback 76 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: that they'll face this week. It is Daniel jones Is. 77 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 1: I've applauded Dave Gettelman and and Pat Shermer for making 78 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: that move. You know, they weren't going nowhere with Eli Manning. 79 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: Eli Manning is a great part of their history Giants 80 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: since nineteen twenty five. The Giants have a great football 81 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: history and he's part of that. But they need to 82 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: move on and Daniel Jones gives him a little bit 83 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: different attack, and you know, the last time these two 84 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: teams played, Golden Tate was not involved either, you know, 85 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: and you know Daris Slayton has been kind of emerged 86 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: as a nice player for them. We've always kind of 87 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: talk about Evan Ingram and what he's done. Defensively, they 88 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: still have a lot of the same guys, so they 89 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: have got to figure out defensively. You know, James Betcher, 90 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator there, had better figure out how he's 91 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: going to play this time around. He didn't get nearly 92 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: enough pressure. He allowed free access and routes and these 93 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: cowboy receivers ate him alive doing that. So, yeah, things 94 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: are different on offense. They're not so much different on defense. 95 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: And that's something that the Giants. They've had to live 96 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: with that the last couple of weeks, as far as 97 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: not being able to stop people at key times, losing games, 98 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: the Detroit game, the Arizona game, you know they had 99 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: they were playing New England toe to toe and then 100 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: that second half got away from him. There. So different team, yes, offensively, 101 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: different team defensively absolutely not same problems given up a 102 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: lot of plays in the passing game. Yeah, secondary, they 103 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: have no pass rush. Yeah, that's a big problem from 104 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: They do not get any pressure on your on your front. 105 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: And it's a shame when you and I don't care 106 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: who you're playing, when you lose a game and your 107 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: quarterback completes one eight forty one for three twenty two 108 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: and throws ford touchdown passes and you get beat because 109 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: your defense can't hold down the fort right, So he's 110 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: not the problem and it's not at all he as 111 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: Brian said, he just may be the answer on offense 112 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: and gold and Golden Tate had a nice game on Sunday. Yeah, yeah, 113 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: you don't need you don't need what happened like with 114 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: Sam Darnell young quarterback getting hot during a game and 115 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, then you're doing all the 116 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: things that Mickey talked about. The missfield goals, penalties, turnovers, 117 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: whatever you know, plagues this this offense at times. You know, 118 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: untimely penalties are holding after a big game, a drop pass. 119 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: You don't need that same thing to happen. You don't 120 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: need to encourage Daniel Jones to play in this game 121 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: kind of like the Jets game. Oh yeah, don't give them, 122 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: don't give them around, don't give them any reason to 123 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: hang around this kid. If you watch the if you 124 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: watch what happened to him and in the Arizona game, 125 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: they got behind and all of a sudden he started 126 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: holding the ball. He had some problems in the pocket. 127 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: They knocked the ball out of his hands a couple 128 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: of times. You know, you need to create that kind 129 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: of pressure. Don't let him feel comfortable, like you let 130 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: Sam Darnel feel comfortable. Or he will find Golden Take, 131 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: or he will find Darius Slayton, or he will find 132 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, or they'll hand the ball to that runner, 133 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: you know, and make it really tough on you right then, 134 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: and he might go, that's the one guy that you 135 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: should really worry about, you know. I know they've done 136 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: some better things in the run game, Cowboys defensively, but 137 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: it's all coming back to, you know, every time it 138 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: looks like they hand that ball to that twenty six, 139 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: it's a five yard game, and then with the potential 140 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: of it being a seventy five yard game. So this 141 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: team is not good enough just to roll their hat 142 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: out that they played good enough against Philadelphia to do that. 143 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: They played they played with the most complete games they 144 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: played all season, offensively, defensively, on special teams. They have 145 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: got to have that kind of intensity for the next 146 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: nine weeks. And they got to play better on the road. 147 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: You know, you realize two of the three losses are 148 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: on the road, and the and the one road that 149 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: they won, they struggled against Washington. You know, that wasn't 150 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: as clear cut as the final score might. They struggled 151 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: in the first half if I remember correctly, and then 152 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: they allowed him a late touchdown to make it close. 153 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: They've struggled in every first half until the Eagles game. 154 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: So they got to play better on the road. They can't. 155 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: Was sitting there going, oh, we're on the road, and 156 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: you let that happen. They're one and two. Used to 157 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,679 Speaker 1: be a staple of Jason Garrett was good road team, 158 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: you know, and we maybe this will see that in 159 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: the second half coming back. But Mickey's right, the margin 160 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: of era on the road has not been good. The 161 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: margin of era at all has not been good. You know, 162 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: that's been a problem. Absolutely. Now, the bye week I'm 163 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: sure helped a lot of guys health healthy. Yeah, and Brian, 164 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: you radio professional, you segued right into the defensive pass 165 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: rush and trying to improve that. Right, they've got a 166 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: new player on defense number seventy nine. He's out there 167 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: practicing right now. Michael Bennett. Cowboys completed the trade with 168 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Kind of came together quickly on Thursdays. Everybody 169 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: was getting done with the work week. Give me your 170 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: impressions on that trade, Nick, you want to start this 171 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: thing off, Yeah, I think that. I think it was 172 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: one of those risk reward things. Very low risk on 173 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: it from a compensation standpoint. It starts with a conditional 174 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: seventh and it only become a sixth and twenty twenty one. 175 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: By the way, he only had has one point six 176 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: million dollars left on his base salary, and that's all 177 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have to be responsible with. He has a 178 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: ninety three thousand dollars per game bonus that can get 179 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: to eight hundred and forty thousand for the Cowboys if 180 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: he plays all nine games. So to me, the risk 181 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: is very low from compensation wise and salary wise, and 182 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: the reward can be pretty high. And if he comes 183 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: in and you know it is a problem or causes 184 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: a problem, then you just take out the eraser and say, okay, 185 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: that was a seventh round pick. We move on. But 186 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: I think what they were looking for as a replacement 187 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: for Tyrone Crawford, they needed somebody that can play inside 188 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: as a pass rusher and he can also play defensive end. 189 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: So I just don't see as it's a win win 190 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: situation at this point. And as long as he behaves 191 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: himself and doesn't become you know, destructive in the locker room, 192 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: UM go with it. Veteran guy. He had nine sacks 193 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: last year for the Eagles, a lot of pressures too. Yeah, 194 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: I mean that's when, yeah, sometimes pressure is more important 195 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: than sacks. Because Jason Garrett always talks about can you 196 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: affect the pocket? Look in the Philadelphia game, how they 197 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: affected the pocket and they got turnovers, sack fumbles, interceptions 198 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: affecting the pocket. This is what Michael Benet is capable 199 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: of doing. And you know, if you go back, you 200 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: look at the guys who are part of the Belichick tree. 201 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: They last year they to Nick Saban, they asked him 202 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: about Amari Cooper. This time around, Jason Garrett goes to 203 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: the horse's mouth. Of the mouth of the horse, I 204 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: guess that's how you say or something like that the 205 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: horse's mouth, and you know, and Nick Saban and excume 206 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: you with the Bill Belichick, and you know, he's developed 207 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: a relationship with Belichick and Belichick's moving on from guys. 208 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't make a fit. Their coach talked about 209 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: if you look at the way that the Patriots, and 210 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: we'll get into the Patriots here in a few weeks. 211 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: Their defense is different. If you ever watched the Patriots play, 212 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: they play with a lot of linebackers. Now, that's how 213 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: they attack the pocket, That's how they rushed the passer. 214 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: They get as many linebackers, size linebackers on the field 215 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: and rush and that's what they've done. And Michael Bennett 216 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: doesn't have a role in that. There was some games 217 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: early the year where he played more as a defensive tackle. 218 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: I think that's what he's going to do for this team. 219 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: He is going to play the Crawford role, and I'll 220 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: tell you what, he will give you more of a 221 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: pass rush than Crawford. Crawford's a powerful guy. This guy 222 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: is powerful, but he also has a feel for how 223 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback, how to affect the pocket, 224 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: and how to get other guys home along with him. 225 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: It's one of those moves that you make because in 226 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: the second half of the season, you know you're gonna 227 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: line up against guys in Minnesota, in Detroit, in New England. 228 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: You've got some quarterbacks on the horizon that will stand 229 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: there and throw the football from the pocket. You've got 230 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: to find ways to affect how they play, so you 231 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: have a chance to get stops in those games to 232 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: get off the field. And you know, the other thing 233 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: is he's pretty fresh. He's only played one hundred and 234 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: thirty three snaps in six games. That's like twenty two 235 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: a game, thirty six percent of their snaps. So yeah, 236 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: he hasn't been worn out. The last game he played 237 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: against the Giants, it was Game six, he had eleven snaps. 238 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: So you would imagine the guys should be somewhat motivated 239 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: to come here and produce and you know, be a 240 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: good teammate. At that point. We'll see. So what did 241 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: you think about it when it came down? Well, I 242 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: think you guys mentioned the Crawford rule. They needed somebody 243 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: else to play, maybe a couple different positions, help out 244 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: on the edge, and Brian talked about the inside rush. 245 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: You imagine getting your best pass rushers all on the 246 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: field at once, potentially Quinn Tank and Michael Bennett rushing 247 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: in clear passing situation. Ke Collins throwing there MALIEK Collins. 248 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: That's a pretty good mix, you know, assuming he can 249 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: get up to speed. And I think Jason spoke to 250 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: this in the press conference, his familiarity with Chris Richard 251 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: playing under him in Seattle. Not only that, but Mickey 252 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know, he's got a locker room tag 253 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: that's kind of carried him for some years, you know, 254 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: could he be a distraction? That's a talking point that 255 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: people have so far. I think Chris Rochard surely gave 256 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: his stamp of approval as both of Michael Bennett, both 257 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: as a player and a person. That's a big reason. 258 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure why this deal got done too. I'm sure 259 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: Richard had to talk with him before they pulled the trigger. Wait, 260 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: and why wouldn't he right, Sure Jason Garrett had to 261 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: talk to him too. Yeah, absolutely so. And don't don't 262 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: you look at him as more of a defensive tackled 263 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: in the defensive end. Absolutely, That's why I kept hearing 264 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: people talking about, well, they still need a defense. No, 265 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be a defensive tack He can't 266 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: help there, but absolutely because that's where he needs to help. 267 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: He could help at the tackle spot of being that 268 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: under tackle in the pass rush. But also too, what 269 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: if they got it right a right end other than 270 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn. That's why. Men. Yeah, all of a sudden, 271 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: you're you're thinking, like, Okay, Armstrong, has he really done much? 272 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas or not? Joe h U, Joe Jackson Jackson 273 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: Well hiders Hider has been okay, but Joe, but Joe 274 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: Jackson on the other side, got a lot of youth 275 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you can't. I mean, 276 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: coming out of camp, you're like, you're hopeful. I think 277 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: I was hopeful, but you haven't got it, and you 278 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: know you're gonna need to keep Robert. Robert Quinn's played 279 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: a lot of snaps already, you know. And the fact 280 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: I like the fact that Mickey brought up the point 281 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: this guy hasn't played much. It reminds me very much 282 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: of a deal you make in the baseball you know, 283 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: for the stretch run, for the Pennant Drive, you go 284 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: get a pitcher, you go get somebody that has got 285 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: some skins. On the wall that knows how to play 286 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: in these big games, that can affect the way that 287 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: these offenses. You know, how you could affect the offense. 288 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: And I'm all four, Yeah, we need to keep an 289 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: eye on Robert Quinn. Let's see if Robert Robert Quinn 290 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: has been very good through these first seven games. Let's 291 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: see in the second half. There's a lot of times 292 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: some of these defensive ends get war down, you know, 293 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: but he seems like to me, he's holding up there 294 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: pretty well. So get as many of those guys on 295 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: the field that it can affect the pocket and do 296 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: what you did against the Philadelphia Eagles. Take a very 297 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: good offensive line, put them in peril, put their quarterback 298 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: in peril, and hopefully continue to create turnovers. What do 299 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: you think it says about Tristan Hill's development at this point, 300 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: twenty one years old and not ready. He's not ready. 301 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: He's not obvious, it's all. We've had seven games. Yeah, 302 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: he's not ready. He's not ready. And the hope was 303 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: that that maybe you know that you could plug him in. 304 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: There's some plug and play players. This team has had 305 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: a great success with plug and play players quarterback. You know, 306 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: by injury, but he plugged you know, they plugged him in. 307 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: He played the running back. Look at all the offensive lineman, 308 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: Tyron Smith's Martin, Travis Frederick. Plug and play guys, you know, 309 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: Lyle Collins, plug and play guys. You know what I mean, 310 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: that's what they do. Side receiver. You traded four last year. Yeah, 311 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: they just get guys and they plug him in and 312 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: they play and sometimes they don't. Right. Connor Williams struggled 313 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: early into the rookie year. Did he get better when 314 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: they brought him back from the surgery? Yes? Is he 315 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: better this year? He has his moments, but he's better. 316 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: So maybe Tristan Hill kind of the same thing, or 317 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: at least they hoped. Yeah, right, twenty one years old 318 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: again and Connor Williams was a young guy. He was 319 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: the same he shot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They have had 320 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: a lot of success doing that. You know, there's some 321 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: positions that are plug and play. He is he hasn't learned. 322 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: He okay, learning, I mean he you got to have 323 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: some tools. You give your tool belt, you gotta have 324 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: some things the way to kind of play. He's trying hard, 325 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: his efforts good. I think that's got to be pointed 326 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: out too, that it's not like there's it's not easy. 327 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: He's not a bump. And you know, and I know 328 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: there's people that will probably say, oh, well, Taco was 329 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: a bump.

Welcome back to Talking Cowboys. Your Dallas Cowboys 383 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: are back to practice after a long bye week. This 384 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: is a bonus day because of the Monday night game 385 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: against the Giants technically next Monday next week, and probably 386 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: a lighter practice. Mick, what's it gonna look like today? Yeah, 387 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a very light practice. 388 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: You know, they understand what the schedule is coming up. 389 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: You know, you get back late on Sundays Monday night, 390 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: and you got a short week, so it's even shorter 391 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: because you probably won't get back to four or five 392 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: in the morning. So they've got to be very mindful 393 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: of these guys legs, even though they had the break. 394 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: You don't want to get back and wear them out 395 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: and then they're tired for the next week after that game. 396 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: And the fact that they've got the three road games 397 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: in the next four after the Minnesota game on the road, 398 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to play at New England, you're 399 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: gonna get back late, and then a short week for 400 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and then a road game the next Thursday. So 401 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: they got to be very careful with how they practice 402 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: and didn't want to wear them out this week. So 403 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: they get back in their normal scheduled Thursday, Friday Saturday 404 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: for this game. So from an injury standpoint, Jason talked 405 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: about Layton Vanderish and Robert Quinn should be good to go, 406 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: minor standing as Anthony Brown is not quite ready maybe, 407 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: so they're going to see if he can do something 408 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: this week, but they're not going to force it, and 409 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: they're going to make sure that those other guys that 410 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: played through those injuries, those five guys that ended up 411 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: playing against Philadelphia after being out or missing the last 412 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: part of the previous game, don't do anything to regress, 413 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: So they were going to go easy on those guys too. 414 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: To Tyrn Smith, it's the Leo Collins, the uh Randall Cobb, 415 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: Marie Cooper, um Byron Jones, So they're gonna be careful 416 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: with those. But the big thing this week is my 417 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: understanding is Cameron Flooming is gonna miss several weeks with 418 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: the strained calf he's suffered on Thursday, had the MRI, 419 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:28,719 Speaker 1: and so Brandon Knight, this is your life unless yes, uh, 420 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,959 Speaker 1: unless I know that one there's some sort of trade 421 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: that comes down and they find a veteran that they 422 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: can bring in, because my understanding, he can miss two 423 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: to three weeks. Yeah, so it happened on the bye week. 424 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: It happened Thursday. Happened on Thursday. And the worst part 425 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: is when it explained to me it wasn't he wasn't 426 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: even doing a football deal. He was holding the bags 427 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: and the people were punching him like they hold up 428 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: the pads, and he got a step back and strained 429 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: his calf. Sometimes those are the worst injuries. That's that's 430 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: a position where okay, if it's Brandon Knight as your 431 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: swing tackle, you know, and then the next guy's up 432 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: are your guards who would have to move outside and 433 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: feel moves inside. Yeah, that's that's the the plan. One 434 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: A is Brandon Knight. Plan one B is hello Connor 435 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: Williams or hello Zach Martin. You know that if that 436 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: came to that, so you know, and then they do 437 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: have a couple of kids on the practice squad and 438 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: stuff like that if they felt like that thing was 439 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: long term. But Mickey was Mickey was very on the 440 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: spot talking about maybe two to three games kind of 441 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: a thing. So we'll see. And it's a deal with 442 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: Tyrann Smith and Lyle Collins that have been banged up 443 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: this year. But the bye week I'm sure helped both guys. 444 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: They were able to play in the Eagles game, they 445 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: were outstanding. Yeah, I mean, I know, I know Smith 446 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: probably struggled a little bit more than Collins. He eliminated 447 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: Brandon Graham in that game. And you and you worry 448 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: about Brandon Graham. You worry about Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, 449 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: those are the two names you worry about. So yeah, 450 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: and then this this week we've talked about earlier. Giants 451 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: don't have a great pass rush. They just don't. And 452 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: you know, if they can hold up. You know, Dak 453 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: Prescott can continue to make throws. We've seen him have 454 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: success last year. Remember the game against the Giants at 455 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: the end of the year. I mean he he won 456 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: that game with one of the best throws I've ever 457 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: seen to Zicole Beasley. So and hopefully they get to 458 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper going again. And then also remember Randall Cobb 459 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: had a really nice game against these guys in Week one, 460 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: So maybe get him back in the end zone once again. 461 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like the worst position of need 462 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: out there is offensive line, right, There's not enough of 463 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: them to go around. We talk about it in camp 464 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: every year teams aren't cutting them. No. No, if you've 465 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: got them, you hang on to them. And no one 466 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: has a surplus, no. And it's it's funny that you 467 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: say that even the really good teams like New England 468 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: was hunting. I mean there's seven to no. They're always 469 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: hunting offensive lineman. You know, they get away with with 470 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 1: the guys they play with, but they don't nearly have 471 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean, the kid a whyat the kid they drafted 472 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: from from Georgia a couple of years ago is just 473 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: now working back in. I mean, they've gone a long 474 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: time without having guys, you know, quality backup guys. But 475 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: they get by because of the quarterback and the receivers 476 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: and the running backs. The way they play. I mean 477 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: remember the slash turnovers. When Philadelphia was going to be 478 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: without Peters, Brian pointed out the rookie first, what was Dillard? 479 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: Is it Andre Dillard get and they were hesitant to 480 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: play him and he was a first round pick. So 481 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: just imagine what everybody else is out there kind of 482 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: trying to play with. They're not they're not you know, 483 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: you're not going to give up what evidently Washington's looking 484 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: for with Trent Williams. It sounded like they want two 485 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: first round picks or a first in a second. They 486 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: have out two, for sure, I've heard, and but they're 487 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: probably looking for a one. Yeah, is what they're looking 488 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: for for for sure. Right there. That's Washington being stubborn 489 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: right there though. But that's also shows you how valuable 490 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: if you can find one of these guys that somebody 491 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: wants to get ridder, but no one wants to get 492 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: rid of these guys, and you can say, okay, well 493 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: maybe you spotted somebody on somebody's practice squad. Okay, well 494 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: that's just bringing in another guy to hasn't played, which 495 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: just shows you two Washington situation running game. Moses is 496 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: now the head coach on the entrance basis, and the 497 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: guy still doesn't want to play, you know, you know 498 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: you figure man, his coach is involved, man, you know, 499 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: and he's still now I'm not interested in coming into 500 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: that train wreck. I never thought i'd say they miss 501 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: they miss Cameron Fleming, but maybe they're good. Well, Brandon 502 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: Knight showed them some things in the limited snaps he's gotten. However, 503 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: he's a rookie, undrafted rookie. Yeah, and that's why they 504 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: went with Fleming in that swing role when he's been healthy. 505 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: Marc Colombo saw something in the kid that he was 506 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: playing guard. I mean, he was playing tackle. I've seen 507 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 1: him played tackle at Indiana. Wasn't terrible signs as a 508 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: free agent. If you would have said, hey, who is 509 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: the surprise guy that's gonna make this football team, someone 510 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: would have put me and said, oh, hey, by the way, 511 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: Brian Brandon Knight's gonna make this football team. It's at guard. 512 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: I might get out of here. No, But they they 513 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: thought enough of him, and he wasn't He's he hasn't 514 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: been terrible. I think that he's gonna be if he 515 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: had to play, would be happier with him than he 516 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: would Camp Flaming. He's actually an example of what you 517 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: guys are talking about. They had some injuries early in 518 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: the season, had to get I think Cedric Wilson up 519 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: from the practice squad. He was not the cut never 520 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: was to make I mean, and they had a surplus 521 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: there and they hung on to him for basically what 522 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: you guys were talking about. If you think you got 523 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: a good when you hang on to him at tackle, which, 524 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 1: by the way, they they were able to release justin Hamilton. 525 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: They figured that was the spot to make room friends. Yes, 526 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: and he had Bennett, he had number seventy nine. I 527 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: believe they didn't and for a brief moment, very brief moment, 528 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: and blink of an eye, and now when you see 529 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: Bennett out there, yeah, he'll be in seventy nine. Okay, 530 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: So you guys have talked trade and I know we're 531 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: taping this as of Tuesday morning, so if if you 532 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: folks listen later in the day, this will be old news. 533 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: But trade deadline at three pm Central, Jerry Jones said 534 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: on the fan quote, anything is possible when it comes 535 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: to making a deal. You think he's being serious, You 536 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 1: think they've got something. I think you know, the phones 537 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: have been ringing both ways, probably and you can just 538 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: kind of listen and then, um, I don't. I don't 539 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: see a big splash. What else do you think they need? Well, 540 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: I just told you, besides anything else besides potential offensive 541 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: tackle depth, they've addressed defensive line specifically, maybe the interior 542 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: more than the exterior line. Has anybody Mickey talked to 543 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: you about a safety? Has anybody hit just the radio radio, 544 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: the radio guys, Yeah, you know, I and you know, 545 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: we forget they do have that Josh Jones on the 546 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: practice they do. They do, and it's funny because we 547 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: kind of forget about him. But you know, if you 548 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: if you ask about safety. But I asked two or 549 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,239 Speaker 1: three different guys that said, hey, what's your situation on 550 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: Like Mickey said, we're taking calls. We're looking for a 551 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: right deal. I said the specific position, and they're like, no, 552 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: not really. So you know if you think, yeah, well 553 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: it's a safety ad, it's a defensive end, Yeah, it's 554 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: the offensive lineman. Yeah. I mean, I just think the 555 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: looking for the right deal. If somebody were to come 556 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: along that that you know that that someone's having a 557 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: fire sale and they're like saying, listen, we're one and six, 558 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: we're not going anywhere, and you know, we're we're just 559 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: gonna try and recoup a pick or two of a 560 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: guy that we might not be able to resign then 561 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: instead of waiting for the compensatory pick. That that that's 562 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: smart business. But I just kind of got the feeling 563 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: that they're taking calls, but they're not really actively going 564 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: after uh you know, now it sound like that Williams, 565 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: the defensive tackle that the Giants got was a guy 566 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: that they were interested in. But the price with that, 567 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: the what the Giants end up giving basically the Giants' 568 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: third round pick at the rate they're going right now, 569 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: that's gonna be like a late two. So you know, 570 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: that's kind of where you're at with that. That's you know, 571 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: if you if you to make that deal, you we're 572 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: gonna probably have to give up your two or maybe 573 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: a little bit more to make that that that pick 574 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: for or get that trade for Leonard Williams done, and 575 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: then also have to resign him at the end of 576 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: the season. He's in the same boat as he came 577 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: in the same draft class, first round class as Byron Jones, 578 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: both playing on those rookie the rookie contract, the fifth 579 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: year option. Uh no, so and you never know why, 580 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: but he hadn't been playing. Yeah this year he's seven games, 581 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: no sacks. And we saw the Cowboys part with a 582 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: first round pick last year for Amari But at the 583 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: time they said, that's it's not business they love to 584 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: get into because they know and you know, as a 585 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: personnel guy, Oh, I've sat there and when Jerry Agonies 586 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: not having to pick back to back years then that 587 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: would have been the first time in what ten years 588 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: that they traded a first round pick. You have to 589 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: go back to Roy Williams. Roy Williams, it's the lifeblood 590 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: of your franchise because you're getting well, they're they're pretty 591 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: good at it. They happened, they happen, and it's essentially 592 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: five years of a contract that's fairly cap friendly, you know, 593 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: depending on where you sit. And so yeah, we'll see you. 594 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question. I think you said it, 595 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: Brian with right deal, It's gonna be the right deal, 596 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: Bennett was the right deal? Is there in a position 597 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: you would give a first round pick four right now? Mickey? 598 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just any position, any position on for 599 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: this team. Is there any position that you would give 600 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: a first round pick four? If it was a it's 601 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: got to be a it's got to be a Maury 602 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: Cooper type of a player. It's got to be a 603 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: top say twenty five type player on someone's team. I 604 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: don't think so. I see I'm thinking I was thinking, like, uh, 605 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about a safety. But then again, every time 606 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: I think about a safety, I remember the draft last year, 607 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: and when you want to even use a second round pick. 608 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: And and that's absolutely right, because every one of my safeties, 609 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: Adderly and the kid from Washington and all. The only 610 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: safety that was off the board was the kid from 611 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: Mississippi State that the Raiders took Abram, And all of 612 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: a sudden, they had every safety on the book all 613 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,239 Speaker 1: on the board, and that at fifty eight and they 614 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: didn't take They didn't even look at any of them. 615 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: So here I'm saying, oh, yeah, I would give up 616 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: a first round pick for a safety and then and 617 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: they had a chance at fifty eight to grab when 618 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: and they didn't. Theydn't even want to do that. I 619 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: just don't see it realistic. Yeah, And so you're saying 620 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: if you're out there saying, oh, yeah, well they'll trade 621 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: for a safety, Well no, they won't because they didn't 622 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: want one in the first place. They had a chance 623 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: to draft a young safety have some control for four years, 624 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: and they didn't even they didn't even take that. Yeah, 625 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: and didn't think about the sort of somewhat veteran safeties 626 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: they've brought in here over the last several years. They 627 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: didn't even make the team. What if somebody offered you 628 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: a tight end? Is that asking too much or first, 629 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: I think they they really liked Blake Jarwin. They just 630 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: he's just not on the field exclusively every snap. Yeah, 631 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: but at some point in time with Wit, at some 632 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: point you're not gonna have Wit, right, Yeah, and you 633 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: need an all purpose Yeah. I don't know if you 634 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: look at Jarwin as the all purpose tight end. I mean, 635 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: that's supposed to be schultz Um. You know, we haven't 636 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: seen him do much, but a lot of that has 637 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: to do with Whitton being here. At some point you're 638 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: gonna need it. But I don't know. I don't know 639 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: this year if it's a spot where, oh, we gotta 640 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: feel this and I need a first round pick for 641 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: a see tight end. Michael Bennett's a glaring thing that 642 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: you can because of this. I mean I talked about 643 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: it last week. I said, if they had to do something, 644 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: they need something at defensive tackle us and that's what 645 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: they did to us. You know it's funny too, I 646 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: was they don't They shouldn't, uh, at least me. You know, 647 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: people were asking me about Hayden Hurst and I and 648 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: I'm I'm asking you a question about a guy that 649 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: plays with the Baltimore Ravens. So that's unfair. Yeah, he's 650 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: a tight end. He was a first round pick with 651 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens in twenty eighteen. He was a twenty 652 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: fifth pick overall, but people were asking me about him. 653 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: I remember him coming out of South Carolina being really athletic, 654 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean like really athletic, like a like these these 655 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: tight ends you see nowadays. But then you know, but case, 656 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: but he's the third guy the Ravens have drafted. I mean, 657 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: they have drafted some tight ends and he's kind of 658 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: been an odd man out. Now. I'm not asking for 659 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: a first round pick here, but you know, would they 660 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: do it for a second round pick? Would they do 661 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: it for a third I don't know if Baltimore would 662 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: trade the guy, but I mean that's the kind of 663 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 1: if you were looking for another position, maybe that tight end, 664 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: you get to try and get a jump on that 665 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: for next year. So you don't have to because this 666 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: team is going to draft a tight end next year, 667 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: and the question is if they do it in the 668 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: second round, everybody's gonna lose their damn mind because they 669 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: every time they draft a second round tight end he 670 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: doesn't pan out. Well. Surette Water trade a second then 671 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: or pans out somewhere else. Yeah, but that's what say 672 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: you get a second round pick for a guy that 673 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: you kind of know could play a little bit like 674 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst and just say, Okay, we're gonna we're not 675 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: gonna worry about it. We're gonna go ahead and take that. 676 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 1: I mean, in Philadelphia we traded, you know, Michael Lombardi 677 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: and I traded for Hugh Douglas. Hugh Douglas was the 678 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: fifteenth player overall taken in the and Parcels had had 679 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 1: enough of him, and we trade a second round pick 680 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: for a first round player. And Hugh Douglas played a 681 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: lot of years. Mickey, you guys covered the team division. Yeah, 682 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: Hugh Douglas was a good player for them as a 683 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: So maybe maybe that's the kind of thing you're looking 684 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: for right now as far as a trade you're looking forward, 685 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: Maybe I could give a second round pick for a 686 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: first round player that someone really doesn't see in their 687 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 1: plans going forward. All right, stay tuned. Three pm Central 688 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 1: is the deadline. See if the Cowboys do anything else 689 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: trade wise.

On 752 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 1: that topic, last nine games, Jerry talked about, they've got 753 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: the potential to be a contender. What what are you 754 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: guys looking for down the stretch here? Maybe something different 755 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: for this team to keep the momentum going that they 756 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 1: had against Philly a week ago. Something different, yeah, or 757 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,479 Speaker 1: more of it. I'd like to see what I saw 758 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: from the defense against Philadelphia. Yeah, you know, get after 759 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Brian talked about affecting the pocket. Yeah, this 760 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: is a young quarterback, you know, don't let him get comfortable. 761 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: Just to what he said. So I want to see 762 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,800 Speaker 1: this pass rush continue the way it did against Carson Wentz. 763 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: They made him uncomfortable and too many times he was 764 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: having to roll out and throw on the run. I'll 765 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: take my chances with that, more so than the guy 766 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: sitting in the pocket playing any meany miny moe out 767 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: there trying to you know, got all these choices of 768 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: where to throw the ball, So that has to be 769 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: more consistent along with just playing better defensively against the run. Yeah, 770 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have to go six and three 771 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: down the stretch to win this division. And so I'm 772 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: kind of looking at these games like the Detroit New 773 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: England Buffalo stretch. You know that that's got me a 774 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,839 Speaker 1: little concern, which, like Mickey said, though, you need you 775 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: need to find a way to play better to affect 776 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: the pocket. And I guess you could start again with Minnesota, 777 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: Detroit and New England would be really nice if they 778 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,359 Speaker 1: can get They could get Michael Bennett going on this 779 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: thing and then allow Quinn to continue his role. I 780 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: haven't wrote about this last week was getting Lawrence going too. 781 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: I think Lawrence is starting to get a feel again, 782 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: feeling good about himself physically health wise. I think you're 783 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: going to see him with better pass rush. I'm always 784 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: excited when I see like guys like Nate sold Or 785 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: playing for the Giants this week. You know, I mean, 786 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: he does not play with power. He's supposed to be 787 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 1: a really good athlete. He allows a lot of pressure. 788 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: Mike Reemers is the same kind of guy, bigger guy, 789 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: But I feel like though athletic ability wise, you could 790 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: do some things to get some pass rush on these 791 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: guys and affect this young quarterback. Those games I watched, 792 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: you know, I saw him how I saw him get struggled, 793 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: struggle in the pocket, drop some balls, hold onto some 794 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: balls because he wasn't sure about the coverage down the field. 795 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,919 Speaker 1: So get a good start here, because again, there's gonna 796 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: be a stretch coming up Minnesota, Detroit, New England where 797 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to deal with some some stellar quarterbacks 798 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: and you have to be ready to to affect him 799 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: with pass rush and then also be able to cover 800 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: those guys as well, six and three down the stretches 801 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: your prediction to try to get you got this thing go. Yeah, 802 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: Philly got a tough road win. Yeah on Sunday, They're 803 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,320 Speaker 1: they're not going away. No, they're not. So got to 804 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: be one of the six too. Yeah, but that's yeah, 805 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: that's and you know, I'm looking at that. I don't 806 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: think the Bears can score ten points. I mean, they 807 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: just they have they haven't done it all year. They're 808 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: not so their defense, I think it's starting to get 809 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: war down. But who knows about the rams, you know, 810 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 1: I just feel like those if you could find a 811 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 1: way to navigate the middle part of that schedule and 812 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: get to the end with that bears Rams Philly and 813 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: Washington bit. You know, you could, you could set yourself 814 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: up for some for some good things, you know. I 815 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,359 Speaker 1: think that was a good point on Lawrence too, the 816 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: fact that seems to be coming around. We just assume 817 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: when guys have a surgery that's not an acl R, 818 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: that they just come back and play right, no big deal. Right, Well, 819 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 1: it is a big deal, and you have to have 820 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: confidence in your shoulders once again. And I you know, 821 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,279 Speaker 1: I want to remember how much time he missed. He 822 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: missed everything, sure did everything. And there's also a chemistry 823 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: with your fellow lineman getting each other home on rushes. 824 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,240 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just things getting back into the mix 825 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: for him that probably took a little bit of time. 826 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: We'll think about when that stuff worked. It was when 827 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: he was paired with Tyrone cobsolutely. Yeah, that's kind of 828 00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: where I was going. And then how they kind of 829 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 1: they'll have to account for that. They'll have to account 830 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: for Michael Bennett. They will have to account for him 831 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 1: for sure. All right, Good enough, Thanks you guys for 832 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: joining us.
