It's Wednesday of 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.200 Chargers Week here at the Star in Frisco. And of 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.960 course we are always grateful for you guys listening, but 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.760 especially today, the day before Thanksgiving. It's gonna be a 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.000 fun one and it's gonna be a big game for 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.519 the Dallas Cowboys after they've had two hard losses. But 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.920 how are you guys doing today? I'm good, I'm thankful 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.760 to be covering a game so quickly after what happens 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:51.640 Sunday night. Yeah, just get it out of your mind. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.520 Quick turnaround, let's go. Yeah, why not? That's it's it's 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.680 to the point now where they're gonna come fast and 0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:59.440 you gotta find a way to win them. Though. That's 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.000 that's the the whole secret. Jerry Jones said it yesterday. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.600 It's about a arithmetic now, so you better figure out 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.479 a way to win him to be involved with the arithmetic. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.520 You don't want to be the guy that has equals zero. Yeah, 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.119 before we got into the three games in twelve days, 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.560 what did you think. I think we did a poll 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.479 on that that they were gonna go, yeah, undefeated. Well 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.560 that was one of them. I think everybody went to 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.480 two and one. That was kind of the thought, right, Yeah, 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.200 I think think two and one won the pole. Two Yeah, 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.119 I thought one was the fandom. They thought that maybe 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.080 the Philadelphia lost. What happened? And now you got to 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.160 figure out a way. Honestly, you have to figure out 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.280 way to win four games now, if you really want 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.000 to be honest about this. Four out of six, Yeah, 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.199 you've got to find a way five out of six, well, no, no, four, 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.039 In the next four you've got to find a way 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:45.520 to go on a little streak. You got to you 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.920 gotta build up something's momentum when Ezekiel Elliott comes back. 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:51.960 That's what you gotta do. You got to find a 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.400 way to kind of you know, Okay, hey we got 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.440 a little we're feeling good. Okay, now we add him 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.120 to the mix. It's like, oh wow, look what we 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.640 just got here. A Christmas present. You got to make 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.960 those last two games count. Make it count, I mean, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:04.800 get you know, look at last year. I look at 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.840 Green bas team at this time. They were four and 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.120 six last year, and that's when Aaron Rodgers made the 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.800 proclamation that hey, we're gonna be in the playoffs. We're gonna, 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.160 we're gonna, we're gonna get into the playoffs. And all 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.079 of a sudden, they won. And then they they were 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.240 one of those teams that you know that got an end. 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.840 And of course they feeded Dallas and they beat the 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.760 Giants at home, feeded Dallas on the road, and then 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.679 went to Atlanta. And I know it was a difficult 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.840 game for them to win, but sometimes you have to 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.800 draw the line in the sand, and I was hopeful 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.639 last week that they would have drawn the line in 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.760 the sand. I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm a 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.919 little kind of like, oh, but hey, you've got to 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.760 find a way to turn this thing the positive direction. Well, 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.360 the defense emptied their tank in the first half. I 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.480 mean they yeah, they did everything they could to put 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.320 the team in position in the first half. And you 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.720 only got five punts, right, five straight three and ounce 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.560 never happens. Since marion Elli has been the defensive coordinator 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.919 here in four seasons, I've never had that. I looked 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.000 it up, but you only got three field goals out 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.000 of it and then the damn broke. Yeah, and they've 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.760 got to find a way to put two halves together. 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.720 I don't know. We've talked about adjustments all week, but 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.280 I think nauseum. Yeah, it's not so much that it's 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.359 just staying on top of your assignments series after series. Yeah, 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.040 and some of it has to do with talent. Someone 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.320 has to do with not having certain guys that there's 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.880 no other way around it. Prescott went through yesterday with 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:28.000 you guys about the mistakes and stuff that he may see. 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.320 That's not about adjustments. That to me is about him 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.200 realizing that, hey, I missed this throw, I missed this throw. 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.640 I should have done this. You know. That's that's a 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.120 second year quarterback right there. I mean, you know, and 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.040 I know people have taken this the wrong way with 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.840 me about oh that I thought that Romo, you know, 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.280 can carry the team and Dad can. I think I 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.720 went back and watched the show yesterday and you question 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.640 me on that, and rightfully so. But the thing about 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.440 it is Dak is a young quarterback and he but 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.600 the fact that he realizes that he can't miss throws. 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.360 I think speaks well to his future, you know, but 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.840 he he's got to execute better. And that's on the quarterback. 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.840 But then he's not there's forty six other guys that 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.720 need to or forty five of the guys that need 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.280 to figure it out too. You can't, like Rob said, 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:12.920 you can't go in these games and play half of 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.040 the game. You've got to figure out a way to 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.520 fight through the whole game. I think Kansas City was 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.720 a great example of fighting through a game. I mean 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.839 they fought through it. I mean Kansas City is not 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.440 an easy team to deal with, and you know, with 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.039 all their weapons, and they played great run defense. They 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.000 covered on the back end, they scored points. It was 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.599 it was Zeke, I get it. It was Tyren Smith, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.040 I get it. They wistood a run too. They whis 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.080 stood a run. Just gonna say. A lot of people 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.719 were like, oh, no, there it is that they'll marry 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.960 at the end of the first half, yea gonna bury 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.200 him away. You got back the start of the second half, 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.200 scored another touchdown, and all of a sudden, so oh 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.000 here we go. Yeah, they settled down and again they 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.920 had Zeke, but they drove right back down the field 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.640 and answer, somebody needs to step up and make plays. Now. 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.920 It's and I thought this was a couple of weeks 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.560 ago in Atlanta when when Zeke was out, I'm like, 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.280 I'm begging Dez Bryant to make a play. Yeah, I'm 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.680 begging Cole Beasley to make a play. You know, I 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.159 just you know, maybe, you know, I want to believe 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.000 in my heart that they're a good enough football team 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.640 to make plays. But maybe they're not. You know, maybe 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.719 they're not. Maybe if they lose this game this week, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.760 and then it's becomes Okay, now let's do the autopsy. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:21.880 What what is the real problem here? Is it? Is 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.839 it just Ezekiel Elliott? Is it just a quarterback? Is 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.280 it the wide receivers? Is it the lack of linebackers? 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.279 It's the lack of overall depth in the team. You 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.000 know you need now you need to do the autopsy. Then, yeah, 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.040 well you brought up personnel and Mickey is joining us. 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.480 You just got back from his fan hit on one 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.679 oh five three. Look who's here? Look who's here? He's ready, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:46.480 gum on our shoe, He's back. Welcome Mick best Gum 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.520 you've ever had, Oh man, that gum out Mickey, you 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:53.120 know that. Oh jeez, you guys. No one can pay 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.440 for this kind of thing. I know, holiday spirit, the 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.320 holiday spirit. Well, Mick, you're joining us. You know, we 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.400 just got into everything and we're talking about how desperately 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.000 this football team needs to this to win this game tomorrow, 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.080 but they need to win five more games tomorrow, five 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.760 more Just can you just wrap them? We try to 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.440 get him four. We try to get him four is 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.720 what we try to do him right now. I try 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.560 to get him to nine and five when Zeke comes 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.800 back for Santa going down the chimney for Christmas Eve. Oh, 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.040 I was talking about the whole rest of the way. 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.800 Oh no, I would be great. Yeah, you might need 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.160 to win eleven. This is what's how crazy this is, 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.400 you know, with the way that the the NFC is. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:33.960 I mean, you've got some teams that are going to 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.719 be kind of sitting there and you don't hold tiebreakers 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.600 on many of them. But you don't, so you got 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.560 to make sure you're once some of these teams are 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.640 going to start playing each other. So yeah, in the divisions, yeah, 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.360 Carolina and the Saints South. Yeah, and then Atlanta will 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.040 play the Saints and then you're gonna get Seattle, and 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.680 I think the Rams play one more time. So you 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.400 need somebody to start losing other than you. There's games 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.640 that have to be lost. But yeah, you need to 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.359 take care of yourself. Well, they are taking care of 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.360 themselves a little bit with injury wise. You know, you're 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.640 looking forward to seeing some guys that have been out 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:08.880 for a few weeks back. So, Mick, who do you 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.200 think the Cowboys fans can expect to see back out 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.600 there tomorrow? I think you'll see Tyrn Smith. Yay, I 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:20.440 agree with whoa round of applause. You know I was 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.520 I was curious on the Anthony Hitchins thing because it 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.760 looked like he was out there doing stuff yesterday, and 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:27.560 I think they came back later in the day and 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.280 said that that they listed him wrong. If I'm not mistaken, 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.160 he was supposed to be listed limited. Well, how come 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.080 somebody and tell me that there was an email that 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.200 went out? I think you missed it. Get the email. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.200 Maybe they didn't send it to me. Make sure Mickey 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.520 knows yes, goes out to Mick. My feelings are her 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.760 Scotch Goldnick was at Happy hour that day. Okay, he 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.880 was limited. Yeah, they did take part of practice, yes, Okay, 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.080 So all those guys that were critical, like Lelee Collins, 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.680 they were all limited, right, right, because San Diego had 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.200 seven guys limited. Oh. I think this had a lot 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.440 to do with the game on Thursday. I think the 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.800 Thursday game is kind of a joke as far as 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.080 the way the injury report goes. Yeah. Yeah, it's not fair. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.200 It's not really it's not a very fair assessment of 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.120 really what the situation is. I think you're absolutely right, Smith. 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.560 I think Anthy Hitchins is one of those guys we'll 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.920 have to see. I mean, I think Anthony Hitchins is 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:21.640 gonna give it a go, but we'll see how long 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.080 he can go. That that's gonna be. That's gonna be. 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.120 It's like, yeah, it's nice to have him out there, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.080 but how long can he go? Yeah, that's the big hope. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.000 I think Smith's gonna be fine. I'll tell you another 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.080 one I think you should be excited about was Dan Bailey. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.160 Dan Bailey's gonna kick for you in this football game 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.440 all the way, all the way. I even when we 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.120 do our inactives, I'm gonna put I'm gonna put Mike 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.880 Nugit out on the inactor, you know. He told me 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.720 after the game. I asked him, is it harder to 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.520 kick off with the injury than it is kicking field goals? 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.280 He said, I want to be able to do everything 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.440 when I come back. Yeah, But I but didn't say 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.840 it's harder. He definitely told me. Well, he said, you 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.000 do have to maybe compromise. Somebody told you something. Yeah, 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.800 I actually talked to somebody, you know. But do you 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.320 think he's ready to do everything? Yeah? I think Dan 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.040 Billy's gonna be a kicker. Wow, I do. It depends 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.199 on what they allow him to do, though, but kick 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.000 field goals and all that. Yeah, I'm calling him in. 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.080 I mean I think he'll I think he's got a 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.600 good chance to kick field goals. I'm wondering about the kickoffs. 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.400 I just call it a gut And you bring up 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.960 a good point about Anthony Hitchins, especially if he's back. 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.240 How will they decide those plays? What do you mean 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.040 how will they split it up? There? They have no choice. Well, 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.080 he's got to play, he's got to play. Well, that's 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.200 where they're at right now. I mean, there's no there's 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.800 no like if there was somebody behind him, I don't 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.200 know if Anthony Hitchins would play. Yeah, but there's really 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.840 nobody they have to go with this to taste point though, 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.600 what's the contingency if if he can't, if he's limited 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.959 or you know, they does fall. Yeah, Smith's gonna start. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.760 I believe. I believe Smith's gonna start instead of Durant, 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.600 and so Durant would be your backup guy. So yeah, 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.920 I know, I know, but that's that's why that's why 0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.920 Anthony Hitchins has to go, has to give it a 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.160 Oh he really does he has. I mean they if 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.800 they if they were capable at that spot. You know what, 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.680 what you're not liking me right now? Making I just 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:16.800 feel it. I just wish that Damien Wilson had the um, 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.120 the ability to play without Sean Lee, the ability to 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:24.000 play the middle like he's he's the guy that's I think, 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.760 big enough, fast enough, strong enough. I brought that up 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.160 last week. Why he doesn't. I don't think he sees 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.880 things the way he needs to see. And I was looking. 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.640 I was looking for the word, not the ability, the 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.520 the If you say the word mental capability, you think 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.719 people are saying he's dumb. It's not the case. That's 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:48.040 because like recognition, yeah, just instincts. His instincts in the 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.719 middle are I would think are slower. He doesn't see 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.360 things quickly. When you put him in a Sam linebacker situation, 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.920 it's take on, get rid and run. Yeah, good, that's 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.040 what he could do. In the middle. He has to 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.160 be able not He's got to read through the center, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.800 through the guard, and when you when you ask him 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.480 to read a guy, it's not as good. He's physical 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.040 enough to take the guy and get rid and then run. 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.160 That's what he can. That's why they can claim at 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.480 will too, because he has to. He has the ability 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.760 to run. But in the middle, in the middle, excuse me, 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.560 he he doesn't see it well and that and you're 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.000 exactly right. He just does not read the way the 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.360 way blocks are. Now, that happened in the trap that 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.240 they had for seventy one yards. Even Anthony Hitchins read 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.200 it the wrong way. He read he didn't see the 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.480 puller and he adjusted and then that's how that helps. 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.480 He got on him. He got blocked, got blocked in 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.360 and Jalen Smith takes the wrong gap. Yeah, they had 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.920 a lot of problems on that play not make Mickey happy. 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:52.800 They should have adjusted. I need more adjustments. Quick draw 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.880 fly over there, Like I told you, just give him 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:59.000 all Tommy Johns. I think that the frustrating part, probably 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.800 to this entire family basis this next man up theory. 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.679 And you want, you want Damian Wilson to be that 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.520 guy that can go in and step in there and 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.680 do that. But Mickey's right, some people it's just different. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.120 I'll give you an example of next man up theory 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:16.440 that actually worked. I didn't think that Byron Bell was terrible, 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.640 you know, it was it was yeah, I mean acceptible. Yeah, 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.120 and but you know they had to give him help, 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.440 you know, but it wasn't all every single down, but 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.079 they gave him help, you know. So to me, if 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.000 they would have started him and that I'd been interested 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.560 to see, it's a hindstight call. It had been interesting 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.360 to see if they'd started him in the Atlantic game 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.920 and he gave up a couple of sacks, So that 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.719 probably didn't you know, that probably a bad example, but 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.160 you know, he's been a next man up kind of 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.679 a guy. Still too much pressure on Dak, but but 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.280 the first half was better. I mean, you really didn't 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.560 notice Byron Beell the whole first half, which is exacting 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.880 when they when it turns into they half to throw 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.240 the seat. When when when the quarterback is great is 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.800 when everything is going underneath, when it's the waggles, the boots, 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.360 you know, throwing the ball, not having to make rip 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.360 throws down the middle of the field of Dez Brian 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.040 as he's lunging with a man on his hip. You know, 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.080 it's those throws that he can make with with Beasley open, 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.640 with Witten open, with Brian on the curl. You know, 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.400 things like those are good throws for him. But man, 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.920 when you're asking to make rip throws and pressure, that's 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.319 a little bit different. That's where the big difference between 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.360 him and a guy like Romo is Romo will stand 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.520 there and make that rip throw, you know, and have 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.440 complete confidence in it where and he'll be accurate with it. 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.040 So that's a difference. Yeah, And how much of that 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.760 has experienced I think a lot of his ability really Yeah, 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.720 I think Dak Prescott needs to have a play action game. 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.640 He's a he's a he's he's everything. He's he's such 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.360 a mobile quarterback and he learns. He's learned how to 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.600 throw the ball well on the move. I think he 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.200 needs the ability to play on the moves. Yeah, team 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.000 teams have figured out. They say, oh, let's make him 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.640 throw from the pocket. Let's make him be a pocket quarterback. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.679 And you know he'll have But when he misses, when 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.440 he misses a throw, like you said, well he climbs 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.160 to the left and missus Beasley, then then you're like, whoa, 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.400 something's up there, because that's a throw he makes all 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.160 the time. You're hearing footsteps at that point. Nah, noah. 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.400 People say, oh, middle clock, middle clock, But you know 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.440 what I mean, that's how he plays. He plays, He 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.080 plays on the move. He throwing too. I mean Jim 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.520 schwartz Sett he's defensive coordinator. He said, I've never seen 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.200 May throw the ball as well on the move as 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.760 this guy. And he's got and he and he watched 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.280 practice every day of his guy. You know, so when 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:30.120 when you don't have that capability to be successful doing 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.400 it during a game, you're gonna have some bad plays, 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.280 gonna have to play with a moving pocket. You know what, 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.120 did they run the sprint one time? Though? Did you 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.240 notice they ran the sprint in the game, they sprinted 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.120 the pocket going left, he hit I think he hit 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.840 Beasley on the flat for four or five yards. Nothing 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.080 wrong with that. That's just like a good little run 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.160 right there. That's handing the ball to ezek Yellott for 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.720 five yards, right, you know that that's kind of maybe. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.120 I think that's the thing that Lenahan does. You talk 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.640 about adjustments. Lenihan plays to his strength, he really really does. 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.080 He tries to get him in positions where he can 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.280 make plays on the move. But you know, when it 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.600 doesn't work, it doesn't work. Just protect him. Yeah, yeah, 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.800 it was better. He still got sacked four times in 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:13.560 the game though, better, Yeah, four times. You know, Philip 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.960 Rivers has been sacked this year twelve believe, Yeah, in 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.720 ten games. Yeah, and their offensive line. I'll tell you 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.440 why Philip Rivers doesn't get sacked, because he's willing to 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.000 stand there and take a hit. He does, he will 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:26.640 get rid of the football. He is not He is 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.360 not afraid to throw the ball into the fine. No. No, 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.040 I'm just saying though, if you watch him play, if 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.480 you watch that, you're right. It's been sacked twelve times 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.000 in two games. Yeah, I went way down the rabbit 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.920 hole for this column I'm doing today. I looked up 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.400 how many times Romo was sacked four more times in 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.040 his career in a game. Happened twenty times out of 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:49.000 how many games lots ninety something, yeah, something like that 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.360 team went seven and thirteen when that happened, and they 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.440 only put up fourteen points a game. I mean, no matter, 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:57.200 and Romo is twenty times he got sacked four more times. Yeah, wow, 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.520 I wonder what error that was. Was it a certain 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.200 era of I said the word era wrong era? Is 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.800 it certain? Oh? Yeah, it was only a small handful 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.960 of the first couple of years, those lean years where 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.720 they were rebuilding. The latter was eight and eight years 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.680 and more often. Yeah. Yeah, and he had to, you know, 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.120 he had to put the team on his back. But 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:15.840 I'm just saying, no matter who your quarterback is, I'm 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.280 not comparing the two. Romo is is Hall of Fame 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.440 caliber type guy. Obviously you're not going to score a 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.240 lot of points when your quarterbacks under siege like that. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:28.800 So how many times? Twenty games? Twenty games regular and 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.640 he probably played about a one hundred and twenty games. 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.560 I'm what was his career record? I mean, it's something. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.000 It's pretty good, pretty good. Yeah, but I mean, yeah, 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.080 it's I didn't mean to take us down. No, no no, 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.640 not saying I mean any quarterback when when you're under 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.800 that type of pressure, your offense is gonna have a 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.560 hard time sustaining and scoring points. And again, fourteen points 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.160 a game in those games where he's you know, a 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.840 lot of seven points, six points. One of them was 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.560 the fifty one forty eight Denver game, though that's an outlier, 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.600 probably the best game he ever played. But anyway, it's good. Now, 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.800 should fans be concerned about Lyle Collins being on that 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:09.200 practice report that says limited back, Yeah, I mean it's 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.640 ourness of the week. Yeah, it's just you know, man, 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.880 something something always with these players. Man, it's weird. Something 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.640 will pop up in the morning. We've seen it with 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.880 with Tyren Smith. You know, all of a sudden he's 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.280 due to practice and he woke up and then oh wait, 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.560 back tightness a little bit. And you know they're always 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.239 going to be very cautious about that, you know. And 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.080 I look at this with their ability to practice with 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:30.560 like I said, they're not going to put guys in 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.480 the field that are hurt they're not. They never would. 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.280 These trainers do a great job with that, and the 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.600 doctors do a great job with that. But you know, 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.320 obviously they're they're very you know, they have to be cautious. 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.280 If if he can't go, if something happens, well, then 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:44.760 Byron Bell is going to be your right tackle. I 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.520 don't think it's gonna be Chas Green's be Byron Bell 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.040 playing over there. He's your new swing guy against Yeah, 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:54.000 against Joey Bosa and and Ingram. We'll be up. Guys. Well, 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:55.920 let's take our first break. When we come back, we'll 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.320 get to those inactives because we're gonna have to really 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.880 look at this week again.
