17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: and I talked about this, and we couldn't go by

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: and not acknowledge the forty four best men a lot

19
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: to both of us, right, without a doubt. Robert Newhouse

20
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: is one of the my favorite players of all time,

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: not only when he played. I was just young kid

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: when he played. But after that, when he was here,

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: I know he was. He was a great mentor for

24
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people, just an awesome person. He's no

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: longer with us, and it's very sad, but Robert Newhouse

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: is it was an outstanding person and player. Yeah, I

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: was telling you about some of my experiences with Robert.

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: He was like coming into this organization, I was a

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: manager at a very young age and uh, and there

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: weren't a lot of people that looked like me at

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: that table of leaders here through at the Cowboys. He

32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: was one of them. And I remember him pulling me

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: aside one time and telling me he's gave me some

34
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: really great advice about handling those types of situations. And

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: it still serves me well to day. Um So, I

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: just I'm forever grateful to the House and he was

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: a really really the great guy and miss having him

38
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: around here. You guys never got you never obviously got

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: a chance to meet him. Five. Yeah we gotta go

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: forty five and forty six. Yeah, you got a forty five. Well,

41
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: Darren Woodson wore it before he moved to twenty eight.

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: It was forty five. I don't know if I remember

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: that rod Smith, Baby, come on, rod Smith, beast. I

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: like it. I was going with. I mean, Niki, so

45
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: did you said rod Smith? But Somebodason I thought Denver Broncos. Well, yeah,

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: that one, like one of the best receivers in the nineties.

47
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: One had like one great game against the Giants, right

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: forty six. I think there's a guy named Joe Fishback.

49
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: I just like the name Joe Fishback. Ember, you want

50
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: to tell us about Joe Fishback. I have no idea.

51
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: I think what I'm learning here. What I know out

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: of these names is Ron Smith. I mean, the forties

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: are avoided like the plague by everybody. I mean, unless

54
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: you're a long snapper or a fullback. Nobody wants to

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: wear a number in the forties other than Alfred Moors

56
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: was also forty six. No there like it was a

57
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: fun player. Different cat still is I mean ye, well, yeah,

58
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean he was when he was here, he was good. Different,

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: he was different, but I mean yeah, in a cool way,

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: he was the best. He was. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds dumb,

61
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: but like if a player, and not to say like

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: players are jerks, but you get used to that lifestyle.

63
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: And the amount of people that are asking for things

64
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: from you, you don't care so much about that. Alfred

65
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: Morris would like he went through it. Every time he

66
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: talked to the me. He'd be like, when you say

67
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: your name was Dave, good to see you, and then

68
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: he would remember it later. Yeah, and that's not like

69
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: I said, like that doesn't make other guys jerks, but

70
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: like to have that many demands on your attention and

71
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: your time and still take the time to do that.

72
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: He would go sit outside the weight room on Tuesdays

73
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: on the off day or maybe it was Mondays, but

74
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: like one of the days when they weren't practicing, you

75
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: could catch him outside the weight room, like reading a book. Now,

76
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: you just don't see that type of stuff. When you

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: pull up into the parking lot to go fly out

78
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: for the charter, you know, you you drive in there

79
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: with your car are and it's like you see all

80
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: these other guys and their stuff, and then you drive

81
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: next to Alfred Morris and you're like, is this I mean?

82
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: He would oh yeah, the Mazda. Yeah, he was famous

83
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: for having the same car from when he was a kid. Yeah,

84
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: and like Mazda re outfitted it for him. And I

85
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: think every time he went to a new team, the

86
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: media would pick up that story and be like, oh

87
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: my god, he I think he's still I follow him

88
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: on Instagram. Still I think he still has I think

89
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: the funny thing about that mosta was he had a

90
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: Mercedes front license plate on it, like the logo for Mercedes.

91
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: I would yeah, I think that's right. I would like

92
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: to think that. I mean, I think at some point

93
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: in his career he probably got another car, not saying

94
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: it was like a Lambeau or anything, but he's like, Okay,

95
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: the Mazda treated me well, I can probably get another car.

96
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Good guy. I loved Alfred Morris. That was a good

97
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: You can do this on a Monday when there's no game.

98
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Another forty five is Richmond Flowers Senior, by

99
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: the way, in nineteen seventy one. Let's just go through

100
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole roster and not talk about Dak's cats.

101
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: Not talk a good forty five minutes of numbers numerology

102
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: here on the pick. All right, let's let's do talk

103
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: about Deck's injury. Uh we this this injury came up

104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: last week. Obviously, he was in the boot coming out

105
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: of the game against the Patriots. Um, what are we hearing?

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: What are you guys hearing? As far as his injury, Um,

107
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: how how? How how much of an injury is it?

108
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: How much of a concern is it? How much could

109
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: it possibly affect his ability to not only play but

110
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: play well over the next coming weeks. Why why is

111
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: Dave looking at me? You look like you have something

112
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: to say. No, I don't. I don't think anything. I

113
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: don't think anybody has anything to say. I really don't.

114
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: I don't. There's no report or anything. Tell me what it's.

115
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: What he's gonna do on Friday afternoon, Tell me what

116
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna do Sunday afternoon. I mean that Sunday when

117
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: he's on he's there. I mean you can say everything,

118
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: you can rest and all that, but it is a

119
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: injury that is very, very difficult, and I think we'll

120
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: wait and see. I mean, yeah, all jokes aside, Oh

121
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: you funny. I'm sorry, man. I just every time I

122
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: hear about asked, I just think about you, because you're like,

123
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: before I have my injury, I didn't think cash. But now, yeah,

124
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: let's let's just leave this out of it, because I mean,

125
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: he is an athlete, and I'm down only that, but

126
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: he's got like, got people caring, the power of a

127
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: five billion dollar organization is bent on getting him ready

128
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: for that game. And Nick, they're just like, yeah, and

129
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: I was stupid and I wasn't, you know, jumping around

130
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: and still trying to do something that was dumb. But

131
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: the thing about it is is that you won't really

132
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: know what it is until we get later on and

133
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: he can rest all week, he's got to go and

134
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: run and do things. I said this on the radio

135
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: this morning and really kind of kind of deflated those

136
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: guys on the air because I said, I'll be I'll

137
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: be shocked if he's able to play the way he

138
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 1: normally is. I think he might play, but he won't

139
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: be the same. Really, I don't believe that. I don't

140
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: think that's a bad guess. I mean, you asked what

141
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: we're hearing. I've heard that he's out of the boot,

142
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: which I mean that's a positive sign, but that doesn't

143
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: necessarily mean anything. Again, like you can rest all week end,

144
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: all week in the hot tub, doing all the treatments

145
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: to it, and you know, he hasn't had to backpedal

146
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: or plant and throw since the game. Um So I

147
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's making progress, and I think

148
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: the optimism from last week was probably well founded, you know.

149
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: I think it was Jerry that it was like the

150
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: buys a perfect time, and I think he can get

151
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: out there against Minnesota. We'll see. I think a lot

152
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: of costs for optimism, a lot of things training in

153
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: the right direction, but playing and existing are different things,

154
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's just something as

155
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: as always with these types of injuries, you just got

156
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: to watch the workload and see how it changes as

157
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: the week. If he's not like anywhere close, if he's

158
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: going to be struggling through it, I'd set him, really,

159
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: I would. I would sit him. If there's any kind

160
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: of chance to reaggravate this and make it a longer thing. Well,

161
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: that's one of the interesting things you gotta think about

162
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: too here, is that sometimes you can play through an injury,

163
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: but what happens is your body kind of compensates for

164
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: what's ailing you and it puts extra strain on other things,

165
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: which you may not reaggravate that particular injury, but it

166
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: could create other things as you go forward, because you

167
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: start using your body in different ways. So that's the

168
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: part you get a little bit concerned about if he

169
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: rushes back with you, if any player rushes back from

170
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: any injury, that you could have other injuries that that

171
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: come from them. But Amber, I'll ask you this question,

172
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: and Nick brought up a point of maybe sitting him

173
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: from what you've seen from this team. Wait wait, no,

174
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: no, no no, you gotta we gotta wait from me answer

175
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: the question. I ask the question. No, no, no, so

176
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: so thinking about what you want, thinking about what you've

177
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: seen from this team, and I'm talking offensively and defensively,

178
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: how they've been able to play. Obviously, they're five and

179
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: one and they're considered one of the top teams in

180
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, definitely one of the top teams in the

181
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: NFC and the top team in their in their division.

182
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: Do you think this team is capable of winning without

183
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, I'll say it Spanish, no, no, no. Honestly, again,

184
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: I don't think that they have enough at quarterback behind

185
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. And I was all up for Cooper Rush

186
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: back when he started and got here. I was like, yeah,

187
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. But then in the past few years, I

188
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: just he hasn't given me enough to feel comfortable. And

189
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, last year they had Andy Dalton, and I

190
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: feel comfortable about Andy Dalton, and then the offense was

191
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: still kind of working and they could do some work

192
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: on there and play good on the field. But look

193
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: how they performed last year, and that was with Andy

194
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Dalton behind the line. And I get it that this

195
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: team is on a role right now and everyone's playing

196
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: pretty well and all that, but I just I do

197
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: not feel comfortable enough to think that Cooper Rush can

198
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: get back there behind that line and make it happen. No,

199
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't, I agree, I mean, I don't. You want

200
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: to sit him and you don't even think they're they

201
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: can win without him. I want to send him if

202
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: he's if, if he's not, if he's still kind of

203
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: going through some stuff. This isn't a bone that needs

204
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: that's going to heal, you know, eventually, and maybe you

205
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: can cast it up until it does. Hell, this is

206
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: this is a muscle strain. And I can speak for

207
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: that that that if you don't, you don't give it

208
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: the proper attention, you'll two years later you'll still feel it.

209
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: You still feel it. So I don't, No, I'm not

210
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going to risk that, And yeah, I don't

211
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: think he can. I don't think Cooper rushing, not against Minnesota,

212
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: not against the Horn, not against Sunday Night football. No,

213
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: I don't think that they'll go up there and win

214
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: that game without him in there. I'm not trying to

215
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: call y'all homers, but I'm relieved to I'm relieved that

216
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't have to be the downer because I was.

217
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't one hundred percent sure, because I think it's

218
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: the peak of hubrists to assume that Cooper Rush could

219
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: pull that off for you. No, No, I don't think that. No,

220
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: they have depth in so many other areas. That's the

221
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: one that you're like, He's thrown three NFL passes, And

222
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: I don't think you can fully rely just on the

223
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: running game either. Like I and I get it, Zeke

224
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: husband doing good. You got um, oh my god, my

225
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: Polar Pauler, Tony Polar, you got him who we know

226
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: he can do the job as well behind Zeke. But

227
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: even with those two running backs, I don't think they

228
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: can just rely on the purely on the run to

229
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: win a game. You got to throw out the caveat that.

230
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: The NFL is weird. And anything can happen, Like, of

231
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: course there is a physical, theoretical chance that they could

232
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: win in that game without Dak. I certainly wouldn't put

233
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: money on it. I would know no way. So is

234
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: this about just how great Dak is or how little

235
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: you think of Cooper Rush? Well, I mean it was

236
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: fifty fifty for I think a lot of us wouldn't.

237
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: At the end of training camp it was like Rush

238
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: or Garrett or Garret Gilbert, you know, kind of a

239
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: toss up. I don't know about you, but I think

240
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: at this point I'd rather have Garrett Gilbert in there

241
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: right now that thing, which that's bad foresight for me

242
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: because I think I was leaning towards Rush. But now

243
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about what you said about three passes. I'd

244
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: rather the guy that's gone and played Pittsburgh when they

245
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: were eleven to oh and gave him a fighting chance.

246
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: And that was if you remember like that, he had

247
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: a lot less weapons than what they have right now

248
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: due to injury. So that's why I look at it

249
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, if he could do that, no,

250
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: it's not the same guy, and I personally he lost. No,

251
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: I didn't play I get that, but I think the

252
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: way that they played with all the things that they had,

253
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: all the players they didn't have for that game, I

254
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: felt like it was enough of an effort that you

255
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: give those players back, particularly the tackles. You give him

256
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: some tackles, you give him some protection. That game may

257
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: have been a different game. Yeah, you agree with that. Again,

258
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: you're not wrong, and there is a chance, But I

259
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: think it's bold, bordering on hubrists to just be like, yeah,

260
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: he can come in and do the vikings and their

261
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: record doesn't show it. I'm Kirk Cousins is playing great, right, Like,

262
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: this is a tough game. If Dak is available, Like,

263
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, we've been kind of on this role where

264
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: we think the Cowboys are gonna win by two or

265
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: three scores for the last month. This ain't gonna be that.

266
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: I'll be shocked even if Dak is available. I'll be

267
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: shocked if this is anything but a tight game. Um,

268
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to go into that building and

269
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: win and definitely do it decisively. So if there's fans,

270
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: that's what Yeah, I mean they won last week last year,

271
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: no fans. Minnesota is on that shortlist of like collegiate environments,

272
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: you know, we always talk about the NFL is a

273
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: little bit different, but some stadiums get noisy. Why can't

274
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: I talk? Was it like? Was it like I don't remember, Yes,

275
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: and I know, but I don't remember when we were

276
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: When they were at their old stadium, it used to

277
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: be extremely loud. One time we've been there since they

278
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: opened a new place was Thursday night the Vikings had Bradford.

279
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: They were decent and you can tell too, because it's

280
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: one of the few stadiums in the league that has

281
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: an open press box. Yeah. I couldn't hear myself it

282
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: was so loud. Yeah, yeah, the one Cowboys won on

283
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: like the last play of the game. I think the

284
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: Vikings didn't get the two point conversion. It was loud

285
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: all night. Again, it was open status. I know the

286
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: old stadium was open. Get ready it's gonna be Bradford. Yeah.

287
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: Remember you you have that app on your phone, Derek

288
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: Gloves having this app not to recourse how loud each

289
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: stadium look looks cool. But yeah, I mean, I so no,

290
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't feel good about that, but this

291
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: is this is what you sign up for. The I mean,

292
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: and it's hard. It's hard to the Jones has said

293
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: that all through the off season is when you pay

294
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback like this, it's hard to have somebody that

295
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: you feel good about. Last year created some really unique

296
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: scenarios like Andy Dalton was willing to sign for that,

297
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston was willing to sign for that. Especially and

298
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: with COVID opening up and it not being quite as

299
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: crazy as it was, that's harder to pull off. Um.

300
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: I would love if they had a former NFL MVP

301
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: who's unemployed on this team to help deal with this,

302
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: but they don't, And for that matter, I don't know

303
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: if he would even be willing to sign here. But

304
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: it's just these are the things that you think about

305
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: when you ponder whether or not Dak is going to

306
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: be able to play. Do you guys give any benefit

307
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: of doubt that maybe they've developed Cooper Rush to a

308
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: point where he can give them a chance after looking

309
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: at what they did with Terrence Steele, Because I know

310
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: before Terrence Steele this year, I was convinced I'm not

311
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: trusting anything they say about young guys because they put

312
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: all these young guys out there, but they weren't performing,

313
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: and so I just didn't trust it. Now I'm starting

314
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: to think, well, maybe maybe they got that one right.

315
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: Maybe they developed him, maybe they knew what they were

316
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: talking about when they say we see potential in him,

317
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: do you give them any benefit of doubt that comes

318
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: from that that you can now move over to the

319
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: quarterback position. He plays the most important position on the team.

320
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: And when they signed Andy Dalton they fired him. They

321
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: were like, now you gotta go, and that's I mean,

322
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: somebody does have to go when you sign somebody. But

323
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: if you think the world of this guy, and again

324
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: he plays a position where you might not ever get

325
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: him back if he shows anything, they were like, well,

326
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: that's fine, to go to New York. Do what you

327
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: gotta do. They brought him back when a ridiculous amount

328
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: of injuries forced their hand. They lost Dak, they lost Dalton,

329
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: and then this year, I mean still baffled by the

330
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: way that whole thing played out. It's it's not a

331
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: major storyline once the season starts, but like again, people

332
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: are like, well, you guys didn't see this coming. It's

333
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: like they didn't show us anything. Cooper Rush didn't get

334
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: a single first team rep all of training camp. They

335
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: handed it all to Garrett Gilbert, and then in the

336
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: final week of the preseason it became the Cooper Rush Show.

337
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: So no, I mean, they can say that if they

338
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: want to, and maybe they're right, but nothing about their

339
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: process has shown that that's how they feel. But also

340
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: the fact that even after they had him back here,

341
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: they were still talking about the possibility. It didn't come

342
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: to fruition, but they were still talking about possibility of

343
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: bringing in a quarterback and experienced quarterback. So that makes

344
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: me think like they know so, because if you feel comfortable,

345
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: confident enough, and a guy like Cooper Rush that you

346
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: can develop for this year, you wouldn't be still like

347
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: kind of shopping around and see what can come. And

348
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. It's a great point. They worked

349
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: out Driscoll, they worked out Hundley, like they did not.

350
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: They weren't acting like a team that felt great about

351
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: its step at quarterback. Yeah, any chance Greer is the

352
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: guy that they kind of can move up into that position.

353
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: Have you heard anything about him since they signed it ative.

354
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: I actually asked Doug nus Meyer about him. They made

355
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: the assistance available on Tuesday during the bye week, just

356
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: I didn't really ask him, thinking that he might start

357
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: this game, just more like, what's that? What's it look

358
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: like when you have to bring a guy on like that?

359
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: And he just said, you know, you start small, start

360
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: with just the basics of what they would have to

361
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: do if they had to be active or had to play.

362
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: And he did say he thought Will Greer has picked

363
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: up a remarkable amount in the whatever it's been six

364
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: eight weeks since he's been here. I don't I would

365
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: be shocked if that meant that he was elevated over

366
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush, but yeah, I guess he would be active. Yeah,

367
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna go and take a first break.

368
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna do an interesting little

369
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,639

00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: We all went through and gave our top fifteen for

429
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: the two twenty one season thus far, and Nick compiled

430
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,879

Speaker 1: That's because we all are dedicated members of the team

434
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: and we try to do what's best for the team.

435
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about those other folks so old later.

436
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: All right, So Nick, why don't you tell us the

437
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: compilation of all those, what do we have a top fifteen?

438
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: Why don't you start from fifteen? And then let's I

439
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: got some honorable mentions out of fifteen, you had honorable mentions? Yeah,

440
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: I had four honorable mentions. Sure, when you're five and one.

441
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: Damante Kazy, Greg Zerline, Layton vander Esh, Terrence Steele, Greg Zerline.

442
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: That's an interesting one. I thought he was like public

443
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: Enemy number Terrence Steele didn't make the top fifteen. Really

444
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: he did for me. I had Zerline, right, he won

445
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: two games for you, Okay, he could have won three

446
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: if they would have stopped the Bucks. I mean, he's

447
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: played pretty good. He's had some clutched kicks for this team.

448
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: So you look around, you look around the league, and yeah,

449
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: I was missing Yeah, I mean yeah, I think and

450
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: if he what it was a pat that he missed

451
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: in Tampa. Yeah, if he doesn't miss that, I think

452
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: people are probably not whining so much. No, No, it

453
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a pat or it was a really short whield goal. Yeah,

454
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: and he didn't miss a pad like no, Like the

455
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: next week after after the Chargers win, I remember he

456
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: missed one the next game and it was like, well,

457
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: you did make a fifty six yard or so he

458
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: had he point being, He's like one of his misses

459
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: was really egregious. Other than that, I think people would

460
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: be fine. Yeah, uh, Casey's are line Vanderesh Stern Steel

461
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: or number fifteen Anthony Brown, let's go no what. I

462
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: actually was very happy to see that because I was like,

463
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: there's there are a lot of people out there that

464
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: are hating Anthony Brown. And really, if you think about

465
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: how he's played, like he hasn't really made a lot

466
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: of bad plays. There's a lot of people in this

467
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: world that don't understand that the lead league is designed

468
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: to produce four hundred yard passers on a regular basis

469
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: and those yards have to come from somebody. But how

470
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: many teams in the NFL have two lockdown corners that

471
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: simply don't allow completions. It's it's Cheetah o Woozier all

472
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: over again. You know, he was typically in good coverage,

473
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: didn't play the ball as well as you would prefer,

474
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: and lost out sometimes because of it. But guess what

475
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: most cornerbacks do, because the league is unfairly slanted against them,

476
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: leads the team and tackles, and then that could be

477
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: it that's always a great thing for a corner, but

478
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: it's making tackles, making plays. Fourteen Cedric Wilson, Hell yeah, yep,

479
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: absolutely should be on the list, should be dead high.

480
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's perfect number for him. It

481
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: wasn't on my list but really no, but I mean

482
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: it was. Why Why wouldn't you put him Nick? It's

483
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: it's it's the curve. It's the curve. Grading on a

484
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: curve versus not grading on No, he's played great, but

485
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean I I put Terrence Steele over him. I

486
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: put zirline over him. I mean their line is the difference. Yeah,

487
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: I had him at fourteen. That's the thing when when

488
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: he sent out the email to put together this list,

489
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that you're thinking, Okay, how

490
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: do you keep it very neutral to what we're actually

491
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: looking at this year on the field, and not think, okay,

492
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: well he was this way last year and then now

493
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: like great in on a curve. So I had a

494
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: rough time putting together my list one because of that too.

495
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: Once we get closer to the top, I think a

496
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: lot of those players are very like right there on

497
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: the line. So it was very, very hard to judge

498
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: because they're right there, but for different reasons, Like every

499
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: player has their own unique skill and everything. But it

500
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: was an interesting list. But I'm surprised you didn't have

501
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: him at all. No, I mean it was close. I

502
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: just I didn't put him, but you had him on

503
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: one of your honorable mentions. Well, yeah, I mean I

504
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: just put fifteen. Now. The next guy also didn't have

505
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: on the list was number thirteen. Oh so did Gizua?

506
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah, third had him up higher than that. Actually, yeah,

507
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: I had Tony Polar thirteen. That. Yeah, that's a I

508
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: think I had also up at ten. I thought he's

509
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: been other than Randy Gregory, I think he's been the

510
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: best defensive lineman this team has had. Yeah, I had

511
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: him right out thirteen. Yeah he was not What did

512
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: you have him not on the list? You haven't on

513
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 1: the list at all? Why? I again, I went with

514
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, Terrence Steele and Greg's are aligned. Those are

515
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: my last three guys like that. I didn't put Cedric

516
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: Wilson or or I mean, I think he's played pretty good. Again,

517
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: like I he's played okay, I mean he's played probably

518
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see who else. Okay, because he's

519
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: a rookie third round pick from us to like that matters.

520
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: Not to me, it does that, And there we go again.

521
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: It's corect like a curve verse, not a curve. And

522
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: that's fine if that's the way you view it, but right,

523
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I don't view it that way.

524
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: I mean, why, why should why should we do that?

525
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: Why should we grade that way? I'm honestly, I'm not

526
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: grading that way that you can put him up against

527
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: against the other guys who've been in the leaf much longer.

528
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: He still is the second best defensive linement on this team.

529
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: Seventy five percent of guys drafted to play that position

530
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: where he was drafted would be struggling to get a jersey.

531
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: That's why it matters. That's why I think it matters.

532
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: I think he's drastically out playing his draft stock for

533
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: where he is in his career. And that's that's great,

534
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: that's awesome. That means don't come callin to try to

535
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: trade the guy or whatever. No, we got great upside

536
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: in him. But that doesn't mean to me that he

537
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: has been better than Terrence Steele. I think Terrence Steele

538
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: has been better. I think I think Zeroline has has

539
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: made more of an impact and that. But that's okay,

540
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's we're talking. He ranked thirteenth. I would

541
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: have had him seventeenth. Okay, no big deal, all right,

542
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard number twelve, had him at thirteen. I mean

543
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: that's he's a backup running back and he's ranked twelfth.

544
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: That just tells you how great he's played. It tells

545
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: you how great Zeke has been. Yeah, that's unbelievable. Yeah,

546
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: he's way more than a backup too, because the way

547
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: that his number says way more. Yea, he would start

548
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: for like twenty four teams. Yeah, and as good as

549
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: Zeke has been, you still can tell the difference when

550
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: he gets the ball versus when Zeke gets the ball.

551
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: You're just watching, especially watching from the press box, there

552
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: is a burst of the ass that's different, I think

553
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: than what Zeke has. I'm gonna look at that. I

554
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: just said. I just kind of threw twenty four out there.

555
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: But I really wonder how many teams feel like they

556
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 1: have a better starter than Tony Pollard right now. I mean,

557
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: I just can't be artistically, they aren't allow. It can't

558
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: be very many. Yeah, now you do have to factor in.

559
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: He gets to come in and he's he's fresher than

560
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: the most backs. But still he runs the ball inside

561
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: the tackles more than we think he does. I mean

562
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: it's not just a light you know, thunder and lightning thing.

563
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: It's they're they're both they're all right eleven Dalton Schultz.

564
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: I had him at twelve, so ran this dropped him

565
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: a little bit just because maybe that you don't like him. No,

566
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: I love Dalton? Are you kidding me? We swap restaurant recommendations.

567
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: Um No, he had that, he had that, he had

568
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: the Drop Sea game. He had, he had the Drops game.

569
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. And I mean not hating the guy.

570
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: I just I mean he made my list. He seed,

571
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: he's at some of those moments. He I dropped him

572
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: a little bit too, I had, but yeah, I mean

573
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: he's been great. I'm not hating on the guy. Yeah,

574
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: all right, number ten jay Ron Curse. Yeah, but yes,

575
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean just is shocking the way you know, we

576
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: didn't even factor him into training camp. Really was like, hey, hey,

577
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: I guarantee when people were talking about who's gonna play Sea,

578
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: he wasn't ever ever mentioned. He's just and now he's

579
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: leading the team or his second on the team and tackles,

580
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: he's right up, he's playing special teams. Done, everything's been.

581
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: Like I said last week, I think his attitude is

582
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: part of this. It's part of it. I think his

583
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: attitude is part of the defense's confidence right now. I

584
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: remember back during the offseason when they were doing there

585
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: on the field activities and and he was out there

586
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: playing a lot, and I'm thinking, man, who are they

587
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: trying to save like that? Why they got this guy

588
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: out there? He's just kind of taking a spot right

589
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: now just because somebody else doesn't want to or because

590
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: they're hurt, Like there's no way he's going to be

591
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: around once we get past training camp. And sure enough

592
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: that was not the case. He would have Sorry, go ahead,

593
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: I would saying most of the time, when you when

594
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: you call the guy that get off the bus guy,

595
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's because he looks really good. But it

596
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he plays great. It just means like

597
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 1: he looks the part. But you wouldn't say that if

598
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: he was a dynamic player. But he he's done everything.

599
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: He would have been near the top of my list

600
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: of like guys who better have their head on a swivel,

601
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: come roster cut time, and I mean, just get ready

602
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: for the jay Ron curse stories. If you're a Cowboy fan,

603
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: you follow a lot of people in the media, get ready. Okay,

604
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: it's a bye week, he's going back to Minnesota. It's

605
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 1: just it's on a platter for you. You're gonna have it.

606
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: We'll have it on our side as well, all right.

607
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: Number nine, Amari Cooper a little higher than I had.

608
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: I had him higher than that you had him. That's

609
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: when you had him a little lower. I think I

610
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: had him in like eleven. I had him top five.

611
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: I just that's a big difference for all. I just

612
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: I think the world of the guy. And again maybe

613
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: I great on a curve, but we know, we know

614
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: what he's dealing with. And he's got the hamstring, he

615
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: had the ankle in the off seasons, ribs. He's fighting

616
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: through so much and still still being productive. Somebody on Twitter,

617
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: Oh it was my buddy Vatch. He posted of he

618
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: posted tape from the Patriots game. They were tripling. They

619
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 1: clouded his side of the field, and and they're like,

620
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, don't don't be disrespectful, saying like ceedee Lamb

621
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: did all this and Amari Cooper had nothing to do

622
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: with it. They were accounting for him so much. And

623
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: by the way, he still caught five for fifty five,

624
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: which is pretty like that's good. That's if you catch

625
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: five for fifty five every week, you're going to finish

626
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: with a thousand yards, which a thousand isn't what it

627
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: used to be. Still a nice benchmark. Like he's having

628
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: a really good season. Yeah yeah. And against the Chargers

629
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: and in this game against the Patriots, this last game,

630
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: he didn't have great stat numbers, but if you if

631
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: you go back and you remember the final drive of

632
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: the game, he had clutch catch is around midfield both

633
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: of those games to kind of get him in that position. Um,

634
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, you can tell he looks like an old

635
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: man running around there right now. He's banged up, but

636
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: he's playing really well. He still gets open. And if

637
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: you respect Bill Belichick, I think what he told you

638
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: in that game was there are two things you got

639
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: to try to stop if you're if you're going against

640
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, the running game and Amari Cooper, and

641
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: you live with whatever else you get. And they tried

642
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: to live within They almost won living with everything else.

643
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: But you can't let those two factors get on. Then

644
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: CD Lamb goes off and yeah, waves to the does

645
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous, by the way, it's ridiculous. I don't understand that.

646
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: Oh I missed that. They find him for that ten

647
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: it's a it's an American greeting. It's a greeting difference

648
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: the bye week, baby, I was doing my best to

649
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: not pay attention you. I mean he got shoved late

650
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: number one. Yeah right, okay, Yeah, he was kind of

651
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: walking in there like that, and I thought was college football.

652
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: He probably wouldn't accounted. I don't know. If fel saw that,

653
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: I would say I didn't see it, but I heard

654
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 1: about it. That's that's also ridiculous. But yeah, wait, I mean,

655
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: guy who shoved you late, he could have done a

656
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: lot of things. He just decided to wave at him.

657
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: And it's been there. When you visit someone, you stay

658
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: for like five or six hours, and then you're about

659
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: to go home, you just waved by. What's the problem.

660
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't get it. How is it fine? I don't know,

661
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: because well, taunting, I mean, that's they're trying to they're

662
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: trying to crack down punched him in the throat. Instead,

663
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,239
Speaker 1: he just waved at him goodbye, see you later. If

664
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: he punched him in the throat, he wouldn't playing right.

665
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, when you get shoved in the back

666
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: like that late unnecessary. You could you could react in

667
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways. I mean, I hate, I

668
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: hate to defend the league, but like, I'm not surprised

669
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: by that at all. I'm not surprised, but I still

670
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: think it's wrong. I really want, I really want the

671
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: league to embrace the fact that sports is entertainment folks,

672
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: Like this isn't We're not out here, it's not just

673
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: play like, this is not war this I know there

674
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: are a lot of analogies people make between sports, particularly

675
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: football and war. It's not this is a game. This

676
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: is fun. We're supposed to be having fun. So if

677
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: guys are talking trash and having fun going against each other,

678
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: let's embrace that, Like that's a part of why it's fun.

679
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. I totally don't understand it.

680
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: You know what else is fun? Giving money to charity

681
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: and when they find players they do that's what happens.

682
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: I guess your eighth best player on the team is

683
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, according to our Dallas colmoos dot com staff

684
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: got it. I had him at nine right there. I ain't.

685
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: That just goes to show how good this team is.

686
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: He's changing the whole defense. That's how I feel about

687
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: this whole list. Really believable. He's eight. I think I

688
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: had him around there. I don't remember, but I mean

689
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: I remember typing it whatever. I had him, Like god,

690
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, there's so many guys. I honestly

691
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: went through my list and I was like, could he

692
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: move up? Some sings like he should be up higher?

693
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm not taking that guy down

694
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: for him and I'm not taking Let me right keep

695
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 1: creating space here. Number seven, Cede Lamb. I had him

696
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: at eight, so right there, and he yeah. I mean everybody,

697
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: how ceed ahead of amar Or you had him Ari Head.

698
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: I had CD back at ten. It's hed at eight

699
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: ahead of him. Mark Yeah, okay, all right. Number six,

700
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith, That's exactly where I had him. Yeah, he's

701
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 1: been really good. He's yeah, it's fun. I mean, going

702
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: back to the thing about Dalton Schultz, I think like

703
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: I was making this list and I was like yeah,

704
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,479
Speaker 1: Tyron looks awesome. He battled through some injuries last week,

705
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: and but then think like, well, he gave up that

706
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: really easy sack to the Chargers in Week two, and

707
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: that kind of took me by surprise. I mean, I'm

708
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: not saying I like moved him down because of that,

709
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: but these are all the conversations you're having with yourself

710
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: when you're trying to rank players, because I think I

711
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: started out with like tiring up by Zach Martin, and

712
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: I was like, no, that can't be right because I've

713
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: had no reason to even say Zach's name all year,

714
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: whereas Tyron, you know, you can, you can quibble if

715
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: you want to, And so that's probably how he winds

716
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: up at like six or seven. That's exactly I went

717
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: through it. I had him up there by by Zach,

718
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: and then I thought about that moment and I was like,

719
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: and then he had another penalty I thought in it,

720
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: and he had he had a couple, Yeah, well and

721
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: he had. I mean, obviously he started out really rough

722
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. So so I think when when I

723
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: started factory in those sounds like, yeah, this is where

724
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: you're kind of you kind of you know, just trying

725
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: to figure out how you can make a difference between

726
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: these guys. They've all been great, it's just how do

727
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: you make a difference between them? And that kind of

728
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: dropped him a little bit. I got the top five.

729
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: Do you want to go to break or you want

730

Speaker 1: that your children don't interrupt. I deserve all that. It's

758
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: really just a visual metaphor for doctor Pepper zero sugar.

759
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: Everything you want, nothing you don't, a visual metaphor on

760
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: the radio. I do deserve that, Doctor Pepper, zero sugar,

761
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: the zero you deserve is finally here. Before there was

762
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 1: a draft. You get sighed up a cowboy by three

763
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: simple factors. The crease in his hat, the bend of

764
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: his brim, and his unbending attitude a man, Stetson didn't

765
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: just protect him from what life through at him. It

766
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: projected a rugged, unstoppable spirit. Stetson hats are still American,

767
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: made with pride. Right here in Texas. There's still the

768

Speaker 1: unofficial crowd of all self respecting Cowboys, and Stetson is

00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: s WBC Mortgage Studios. At the start, we're talking about

778
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: our top fifteen players of the two thousand twenty one

779
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: season so far for the Dallas Cowboys. Paratyar through fifteen

780
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: up six fifteen, Anthony Brown fourteen or so, Cedric Wilson

781
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: also did zoe A, Tony Pollard, Dalton Schultz, Jeron Curse,

782
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm Maari Cooper, Micah Parson, Cedee Lamb Tyran Smith was six,

783
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: and now we go to the top five, amive, Ezekiel Elliott.

784
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: That's where I had him, great, Ezekiel Elliott. I had

785
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: him at seven. I don't know why. There's just there's

786
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: a lot of good players on this team. I'm looking

787
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: at you like, I don't know why I like good

788
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: players on this team. Maybe he deserved to be higher. Yeah,

789
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: Oh I had him a five too, I mean yeah,

790
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 1: I mean this brain trust over hearing. I'm just saying,

791
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: Zeke number five, I think he's been outstanding. Um but

792
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: I think, you know, these other four guys have made

793
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a difference. Maybe, I mean

794
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: we say that. I mean, he's like you just said,

795
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: Belichick said, we gotta take away Mariy Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott.

796
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: But and neither one of them is top well top

797
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: four right, But um but I think Zeke's getting a

798
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: lot of help. I think both of those guys are

799
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: kind of a committee type thing. They're getting help from

800
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: other guys that may be the best at their position.

801
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: But they're getting some pretty good help with Pollard. And

802
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: that's exactly where I was going to go with that.

803
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: How much do you think where you rank ZEKEA what

804
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: you think of Zeke is affected by what you think

805
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: of Tony Pollard. I don't know. I mean, I don't.

806
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: I think it helps. I think it helps the offense

807
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: to have them both. I don't know that Tony Pollard.

808
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: Is Tony Pollard doing that much for Zeke? Like is

809
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: Zeke being fifteen percent fresher doing that much? I don't.

810
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: I just credit Zeke, to be honest with you. And

811
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: there's a I guess I'm looking at the flip flipway.

812
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: Do you think that Zeke maybe higher on this list

813
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: if Tony Pollard wasn't playing as well as he's playing. No,

814
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: And again, I'm again there's a flip side of this

815
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: conversation that people have all the time where it's like, man,

816
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: I wish I wish Zeke hadn't waited till year six

817
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: to buckle down the way that he has this year,

818
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: but he did. And I mean, I just I think

819
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: that's hard work paying dividends right now, honestly, And I

820
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: think if he was, if he was doing it all

821
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: by himself, I think he would. It wouldn't be as

822
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: good because Pollard brings a different element, but I think

823
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: he'd be doing fine. I'm really, I mean, I think

824
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: you should be really proud of what he's done this

825
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: year because running backs, you know, the life of a

826
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: running back is typically when they say three years and

827
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: so a special one like him. But he had every

828
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: reason to kind of just start tailing off after that

829
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: fifth his fifth season. Wasn't is this his sixth year,

830
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: so it's fifth year. Yeah, it was kind of going

831
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: south and had some bumbles and wasn't he could live

832
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: it out for another three or four years, just kind

833
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 1: of coasting, as he called it, you know, a show

834
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: and not the good kind. And uh, you know he

835
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: said it was crappy and he's changed it. I felt aware.

836
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 1: I love it. Give him credit for it. He's very

837
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: self aware. That's what Tony Pollard's doing too. He doesn't

838
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: want Tony to take all the snamps. Yeah, it bit's

839
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: worked out great. And the fact that they worked together

840
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: all right. Number four Randy Gregory hell exactly where I

841
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: had him, yep. Perfect. Yeah, I mean he's think about

842
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: those other guys, Randy Gregor, He's had a position where

843
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: Tank Lawrence has gotten hurt, Dorn's arm, Frank got hurt,

844
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: and he's taken over and he's been stud I had

845
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 1: when teams trying to stop him by the way doubling

846
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: him Will I hadn't thought about this in a while,

847
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: but didn't We kind of get into ker fluffle in

848
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: the offseason when I said he could play his way

849
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: into the franchise tag k E R f l U

850
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: f l E. I believe fail. I think I'm not.

851
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: I didn't look that up, didn't I I believe I

852
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: said that. I thought he could play his way into

853
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: a franchise tag, and he's on his way to doing that,

854
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: or at least you think that's what they're gonna do.

855
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: It has to be that that has to be one

856
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: of the more expensive it has to be. It has

857
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: to be a conversation um with Dalton Chiltz. What's that

858
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: franchise I think I might look at. I'm not joking

859
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: a lot less. I'm sure it's at. I'm saying, I'm

860
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: ten nine point six million for a tight end, sixteen

861
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: million for a defensive end. Yeah, I mean it's cheaper. See,

862
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I don't want to do franchise tag with

863
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: with Randy. I want to just get Randy signed up

864
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: to a deal. I want to give him again. But

865
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz to me is Jay Novacheck, and and that's

866
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: there's that's a good thing. I mean, I think Dalton

867
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: Schultz can definitely be your Jay Novcheck for this offense

868
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: if he's aware to do it. I mean, Jay, No,

869
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: does it affect it that you've already paid Blake? I'm

870
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: pretty sure about that. Lateral about that later. I don't, no,

871
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: not necessarily. Why are you talking, not saying ready to

872
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: Blake's Blake's contract is structured in a way that they're

873
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: not married to it. Oh, they're not married to it.

874
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to have that conversation shifted

875
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: away from me. What a great story it is. He's

876
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: been outstanding. And also the thing I love the most

877
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: is that he's not just this agile, quick guy around

878
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: the edge. He is bull rushing people back. He's got

879
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: some strength. Okay, But and I know we're gonna run

880
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: out of time, but let's talk about that though, Because yes,

881
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: it would be great to sign Randy to the long term,

882
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: but that probably means you have to franchise tag him

883
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: in the meantime. That's how this always works. He ain't

884
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna sign a deal right now, unless unless he just

885
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: feels that much loyalty to the Jones family for the

886
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: way they stuck with him. And maybe he does, and

887
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: maybe he should. That's okay, maybe he does, maybe he should.

888
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: Whatever the point is, you don't see those types of

889
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: extensions negotiated during the season very often because Randy and

890
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 1: his people have to be well aware of what could

891
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: be at stake. And like I said, unless unless he's

892
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: just Tyrann Smith and he's like, I'm good, I don't care,

893
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 1: just give me something that seems fair. I owe you anyway,

894
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: And that's possible. I wouldn't bet on it. And so

895
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: that's how you wind up in a situation with the

896
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: franchise tag and we negotiate something later. And don't get

897
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: me wrong, I'm not saying he should take a hometown

898
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: discount I think, because I think you have to make

899
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: the money when you can make the money. But I

900
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: do think that. I don't want to say oh, because

901
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: oh it is a strong word, but I do think

902
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: he should at least hear out offers, and if it's

903
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: something that seems fair, then I think he should be

904
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: willing to maybe do that, where otherwise he may be like, NA, no, no,

905
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: I'm waiting. Absolutely, I think now you would kind of

906
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: give a little bit referential treatment because this team did

907
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: stick by you in times when most teams would have

908
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: been like, we're out. I certainly anymore. I don't want

909
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: to speak for Randy period, especially when it comes to

910
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: his money, but I won't be surprised if that loyalty

911
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: plays a factor in all of this. Like I feel

912
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: optimistic that Randy Gregory has a long term future here

913
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 1: one way or the other. Still don't think he would

914
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: sign an extension in the middle of the season. You

915
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: just don't see it. Halp of very often. Wasn't there

916
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: a time back in the day when the bye week

917
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: seam a week that they did deals. All people were

918
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: hitting me up all the time for the last two

919
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: weeks heading up to the bye week, Like Randy, Gallop

920
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: and Schultz just question after question about like I think

921
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: some could get done during the bye week, and the

922
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: answers usually no, because guys, and you want leverage. Leverage

923
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: is everything, and leverage is continuing to play well and

924
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: stacking those numbers and making your best case. Okay, I'm

925
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: gonna call a audible here. We're right at the time.

926
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to hold the final three until tomorrow. Oh, come,

927
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: let's just power through going on the website. Let's just

928
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: power through. Come on, we got all right? Number three?

929
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs? What I had him? Number three? He was

930
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: number two? O Zach Martin. Okay, Tyvon Diggs number three,

931
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: number two if you want, if you want to just

932
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 1: say has been the most dominant of that position. Zach

933
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: Martin will be number one. Let's okay, what is my

934
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: number one? So I'm just saying, put Zach Martin number one.

935
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: I think he's definitely number two. The on reason he

936
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: put him number two is because the other guy is

937
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I had Zach number three. He's the best

938
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: guard in football. He's playing out of his mind. I

939
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: still think concessions need to be made when a guy

940
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: is on pace to shatter the season record for interceptions

941
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: in a season that has stood since like the year

942
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: my dad was born. That's insane. No, he has a

943
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: chance that. I'm saying the record has stood since nineteen

944
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: fifty four. I think my dad was actually born in

945
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: fifty two, but nineteen fifty four. I'm not saying he's

946
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: gonna break it, but seven picks in six games. I

947
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: mean I put him number two. I think he deserves.

948
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: If you're gonna say all that, might as won't make

949
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: one in the league. I know I'm gonna say it.

950
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, like you say all that, but then you're like,

951
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: he's number two. Well yeah, because this team would be

952
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: up s Creek without a paddle with mean Scott Dak.

953
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: I mean Dak has lost this year. Zack Martin has not.

954
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: And I see what you did now, I've been Zack

955
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: number one. I think he's played out absolutely outstanding. Um.

956
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: And if you go buy grades from you know the websites,

957
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: that grade. I mean he's he's been the best player

958
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: in the all of football three of the five games

959
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: he's played. That's ridiculous. Um, he's playing at an incredible

960
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: level too. I put him too. I mean I put

961
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: number one. He's number two on the list. You just

962
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: can't show it in like an interceptions totally. He has

963
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: been every bit as dominant, absolutely Gigs has been. These

964
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: three guys, These three guys could be or could be

965
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: number one on almost every other team's list. I mean,

966
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: that's why that's that's why they're five and one, and

967
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 1: that's why they're everyone's talking, you know, where the parade's

968
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: going to be in playoffs and stuff. Just well, I'm

969
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: just saying number one, Dak Prescott has to be in

970
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: my opinion. It's just I mean, again, you're right, everything

971
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: you said about Zach is right. But like again, the

972
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: league is skewed so unfairly against cornerbacks. You get so

973
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: few interceptions or so few opportunities to make plays on

974
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: the ball, and he's cashing in on all of them.

975
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: Whereas Zack's got somebody to block every time the ball

976
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: gets snapped, and he does an amazing job. But it's

977
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: I hate to say easier, but like you know, you

978
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm trying to say, Like every snap he's

979
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna line up and match the guy across from him

980
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 1: and create lanes and pass protect and Diggs might get

981
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: two to three real opportunities at the ball in in

982
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: sixty snaps and he is maximizing though, And I just

983
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: that's incredible. And by the way, those those chances that

984
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: he gets at the ball he's making, some of those

985
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: some of those are not like situations like you hear

986
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: a lot of times, you know, tip ball, that's where

987
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: you get a lot of interstad. A lot of these

988
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: are not those kind of situations. And even the situation

989
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: like in this last game where it was a tip ball,

990
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: that's a tip ball that I would say ninety eight

991
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: percent cornerbacks don't make that interception. It came. Most of

992
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: them don't have the reaction skills and the ability to

993
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: catch the ball to still can't. He was still not

994
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: gonna go and hurdle a guy in mid He was

995
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: still corralling it when he jumped over. Was it Jacobe Meyers?

996
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: Whoever it was. If he had zero interceptions right now,

997
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: we would say, yeah, you know, he has no picks

998
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: this year, but he takes everyone's number one receiver. He's

999
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: locking them down, So he didn't have a lot of opportunities.

1000
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: So don't worry about that. I mean, Dion didn't get

1001
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: a ton of picks, you know, that kind of stuff

1002
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: with what we would say, But he's you know, so

1003
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: he's the best number three in the league of any

1004
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: other team. So just like football is unfairly skewed against cornerbacks,

1005
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: it's unfairly skewed toward quarterbacks. So I just if your

1006
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: quarterback is in the MVP conversation with that is I

1007
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: think he belongs to number one. Yeah, it's just and

1008
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 1: that's how I feel about He's everybody's worried about the backup,

1009
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: but that just goes to show just how valuable that

1010
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: he is. Um. You know, they didn't lose it, they

1011
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: didn't win with Zach Martin like that. I think they

1012
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: would play differently against the Bucks if Zach was in there.

1013
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: I think if they have to play them again, I

1014
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: don't think that they'd be as I think would be

1015
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: more balanced this time up, not not be so quick

1016
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: to get away from anyone. Maybe not. Honestly, don't think

1017
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are at all intimidated about having to go

1018
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: back to Tampa Bay if they have to do that

1019
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. There's there's five really good football teams

1020
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: in the NFC. And how did anybody an we're going long?

1021
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but liked did anybody see with the way

1022
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs were set up and the bill, like,

1023
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: did anybody see the NFC being the juggernaut side of

1024
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: the league like the AFC looks like a mess and

1025
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: the NFC. I think of the six quote unquote like

1026
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: best teams in the league, I'd say five of them

1027
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: are in the NFC. And then I also think this

1028
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: is just a moment in time. I think once to

1029
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: the end of the season, I think there'll be a

1030
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: lot think the Bills are serious, like that is a

1031
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: really good team. They've had a misstep here or there. Um,

1032
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: I don't know the Kansas City is gonna get it

1033
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 1: together until the quarterback starts playing better. But but there

1034
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: are some teams. If you're if you're leaving, if you're

1035
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: leaving the Chiefs for dead at three and four, I

1036
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: know you feel free. Not what I'm saying. What I'm

1037
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is their quarterbacks gonna have to play better. Yeah,

1038
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: he's not playing. Their whole team is gonna have to

1039
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: play better. But how many times have we seen the

1040
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: Bucks were mediocre as hell until about Thanksgiving last year

1041
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: and then they just took on get on. Yeah, that's

1042
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: exactly right, That's what I'm saying. We're still early. We'll

1043
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: see what this thing looks like at the end, but

1044
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: right now it does look very heavily skewed towards the NFC.

1045
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: With those five teams sitting at the top and all

1046
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: of them looking like teams that could possibly win a title.

1047
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: All right, we appreciate you guys, Jonas, and we'll be

1048
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: back on tomorrow. There was a little big picture look

1049
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: around the NFL, some things happening in the NFC East

1050
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: and around the league. Will do that when we come

1051
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: back tomorrow. Till then, for Nick Even, Dave helm and Ambergarcia.
