15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: an interesting matchup than maybe we thought when the season began,

16
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,760

Speaker 1: storylines that you should follow this weekend. Before we get

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: to that, though, Nick, why do't you give me a

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: thirty two? Uh? Dennis Thurman. Dennis Thurman nineties, eighties, eighties,

22
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: eight eighties, Thurman Thieves. That that was the Uh there's

23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: a posters, a famous poster called Thurman Thieves, and it

24
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: was like, I'll say famous, but I mean back in

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: the eighties, you know the back of those those posters

26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the kids had and it was like

27
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: him and Everson Walls and some of the other secondary

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: guys as Thurman's thieves. That was kind of a thing.

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: He was at the leader of that. Yeah, they got

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: a lot of interceptions back then. I mean there was.

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't a passing league back then. But man, I mean,

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: when Everson Walls gets eleven picks as a rookie, can

33
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: you imagine a rookie free agent coming in and getting

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: eleven picks? And that's wild? I mean, and then and

35
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: then you know, he led the league three times and

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: in a we've talked about Everson Walls a lot um

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: who would opposite him back then, Well, couldn't have been

38
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: Renfro at least not. Yeah. Well, like in the eighties

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: is like Ron Fellows played over there and he was

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: Ron Fellows in him and so but thirty two, Walt

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: Garrison I think also was thirty two. He's kind of

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: that's how Yeah, But you know, I thought I actually

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: thought about it. I was like, I don't even know

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: a current I mean the last few years A thirty

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: two you're kidding. I mean Scandridcord for like a decade.

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: That's what them media came to mom. Yeah, I don't

47
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: know why I forgot um. Yeah, anyways, Corey Clements wearing

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: it right now, I believe, No, I really, I didn't

49
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: even I didn't even think about Scandrick or in thirty

50
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: I think just because I mean as Sti's wark for

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: a long time, especially because yeah, I mean, if you're

52
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback or like an All Pro player, then

53
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna wear that number for a long time. But like,

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: considering who he was, can't and I'm not throwing shade

55
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: at him, Like Scandrick was a fifth round pick who

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: was good but never like at the top of his profession,

57
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: and he still managed to stick around for nine years

58
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. Those guys come around, like, especially when you're

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: at a like he was a slot guy and he

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: played pretty solid. He was a pretty solid slot guy.

61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: So you yeah, I've seen guys stick around that long

62
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: and you can play special teams. Just lots of things

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: that kept around. It's impressive when a guy manages to

64
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: hold on to a job with one team for that

65
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: long without like ever being in a Pro Bowl or

66
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: any of that type of stuff, or a good mood

67
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: or a good mood. You know he was. He was

68
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: at the hotel in LA before the Charger game. Yeah,

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: super nice. It was nice to see him. He was friendly.

70
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: He had a much better at it. But yeah, but

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, that's honestly the thing, Like you know, you

72
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: guys have seen it. Guys retire and their whole disposition changes.

73
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: Like when they're a player, they kind of look at

74
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: you kind of like side of as soon as they retire,

75
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: it's like, what's up, man, Everything's cool, it's sleep like,

76
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: it all is okay. As big of a horse's ass

77
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: as he could be. Scandrick was one of those, I

78
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: would say it to his face. Scandrick was one of those.

79
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: But if you could like give it back to him

80
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: or show him that you weren't like, weren't going to

81
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: get your feelings hurt or whatever, like, you could spar

82
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: with him. He appreciated that and he would kind of

83
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: respect it, if not be outright friendly about it. Yeah,

84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: that's when I realized that he wanted me to say

85
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: something mean back to him. I think our relationship got

86
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: better so him and brought it health better. It's unhealthy relationship,

87
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: but that's what most of my close friendships are like.

88
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: So maybe there's a lot of Dave Hellman. That's fair.

89
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: I just said to him and brought us get better. No,

90
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that ever happens. Well, we will leave

91
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: that one alone. We'll leave that one alone. Okay, all right,

92
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: so let's talk a little bit about Let's start first

93
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: with some injury updates. Carlos Watkins, Donovan Wilson, dawnce Armstrong,

94
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: Tie and Secky we presume are all out because they

95
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: have been uninjured. They have been injured and nothing has

96
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: changed with their Watkins Watkins was out doing rehab stuff

97
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: with Britt yesterday, which is like a good sign. Yeah,

98
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: it's a good sign, but it's not a sign that

99
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: he's probably ready for Sunday and talk to me about

100
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: the the COVID guys, we still no go on on

101
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: Neil and with an eye no change, all right, So

102
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: luckily they're probably not very unlikely they would play in

103
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: this game, all right. Not practicing, you know, I mean

104
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: that's that's another thing. I mean, they've had it, they're

105
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: dealing with it, and you're not practicing. You've got to,

106
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: you know. It's not like you just get off the

107
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: list and it's fine and they're not. I mean, it's

108
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: not like they're even past. For Neil at least, I

109
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: don't know if he's even past the point where he

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: could come back, even if he were not showing symptoms.

111
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: All right, m Randy Gregory, where's Randy Gregs? Fine? He

112
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: had an he misspractice with Randy Gregory had I don't

113
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: need to do this today itis, which is like just

114
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: like he had a knee issue in training camp. Guys

115
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: get dinged up and they were like, you're you know,

116
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: you're good today. You don't need to do this today. Yeah.

117
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: He actually walked by us at practice yesterday and Mickey said, quit,

118
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: oh god, Nicky. I think they have a they do.

119
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: They have a funny relationship. I think, yeah, what did

120
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: you say? He said? Man? He goes, I'm old, man,

121
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm not twenty two anymore. Like I'm like, okay, what

122
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: twenty seven? A right, Yeah, when did twenty seven get old? Here? Yeah?

123
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, when you think about it,

124
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: and this is not saying anything bad about where he is,

125
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: but like, however old he is, he hasn't had as

126
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: much wear and tear on his body like other players

127
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: from that age. He just hasn't played as many games.

128
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: But um, but yeah, I think you're right, it didn't

129
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: seem like he was to Mike McCarthy said this morning

130
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: that he fully expects him to play and that you know,

131
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta parse through the injury report. Some

132
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: guys are on there because there you aren't gonna play,

133
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: and some guys are on there because teams are being

134
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: smart knowing that it's a seventeen game season. Randy's finding

135
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: You know, I saw I saw something the other day.

136
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: We talkably defensive ends. You know, who's gonna play that

137
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: if Lawrence is not playing and I's not playing, who's

138
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: going to rush the passer? And obviously Michael Parsons is

139
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: going to do some of that and other stuff. But um,

140
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: I saw a play where Hurts ran on the sideline

141
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: and Jalen was was trying to level out and really

142
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: beat him to the spot. Not take an angle and

143
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: really get him and I think fifty nine Gholston, right, yeah,

144
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: he did. Y'all see this play where he comes flying

145
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: into the picture and I mean, I'm not calling Jalen

146
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: slow whatever it is. This guy had a burst that

147
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he just shot right past him and really

148
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: was the guy to force him out of bounds. And

149
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: I was like, dang, I mean, like that was that

150
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: was some an impressive play there by Gholston. Yeah, he's

151
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: got some, He's got some agility to him there. He

152
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: had some. He had a couple of flash plays he

153
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he had to. For where he's been and

154
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: how little he's played, it was impressive that he did

155
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: as much as he did in his first game. Yeah,

156
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, that's That's one of the things that

157
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm liking right now about this defense, and I think

158
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: is a big difference for them is a lot of

159
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: these young guys they can move like they have built

160
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: a fast defense, and I think that shows. I mean,

161
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: you even look at somebody like Osa like Olsa's making

162
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: these flash plays as well. He's getting into the backfield.

163
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: I saw another play where he ran all the way today.

164
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: He was in the line, like in the middle of

165
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: the trenches when the past was thrown and by the

166
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: time the play was completed downfield, he's downfield trying to

167
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: make the tackle. I mean, that's a defensive tackle. And

168
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: I just like the fact that these are young, fast,

169
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: agile guys that are flying around on this defense. They

170
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: have revamped the athleticism of this defense very quickly. And

171
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: it's not too dog that Jalen. But like watch those plays.

172
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: Watch when Jalen is between the hash marks and needs

173
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: to get to the numbers, it's it's not ideal. You can't.

174
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't. And then watch Parsons do that

175
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: type of stuff and you can see a stark contrast

176
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: in terms of how quickly they can get to where

177
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: they need to be. And the best part about it

178
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: is is that they've added a lot of speed, a

179
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: lot of you know, athleticism, but they've also added a

180
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: lot of size too. It's a different looking team. They

181
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: got bigger guys across the board, so you know, just

182
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: listening to what Bucky described the Panthers about how fast

183
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: they are, they also have seemingly some undersized guys. Cowboys

184
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: have have done it. Good athleticism but not really lacking

185
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: a lot of size. And I think he said in

186
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: that call, I think he said it was was it

187
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when the Panthers became the first team to

188
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: do it all defense draft? Yeah, And it kind of

189
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: reminded me Cowboys went last year. It wasn't all defense,

190
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: but it was a vast majority, was significant, and they

191
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: revamped their defense in one offseason, and this defense is

192
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: playing a lot better. That's rules calling card. I think.

193
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't cover the Panthers, but I think

194
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: he got there and he was like, all right, I'm

195
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna fix what I know how to fix and we'll

196
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: worry about the quarterback situation later. And it looks like

197
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: what's happening? Yeah, I think he's he's a coach that's

198
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: gonna you know, he's looking to see who's gonna win

199
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: a fist fight, you know, like that that type of guys,

200
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: those type of defensive players, toughness and and you know

201
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: that's that's a good place to start, you know, I know,

202
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: being in the in the Big twelve, what he did

203
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: at Baylor was pretty freaking remark he's a hell of

204
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: a coach man. He turned Baylor into a good football program,

205
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: turned Baylor around after everything that went wrong with them

206
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: losing all the talent that they lost, the scholarships and stuff,

207
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: and now he's in the NFL and seems to be

208
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: doing something. Someone think the Panthers are as good as

209
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: the record indicates, but they're I mean, they're good football.

210
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: Last year said Baylor twice, I think Temple, what you did?

211
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: I say, yeah, he was being Temple and then Temple.

212
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: I didn't say Temple, I'm sorry now that No, he

213
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: turned as that was really really impressive there, Temple. Yeah,

214
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: I thought I thought I said Temple, I'm sorry. Yeah,

215
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: I would just say I mean, like the whole Baylor

216
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: then that I was really like, I was thinking, as

217
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: a big twelve guy, all right, we don't have to

218
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: worry about Baylor for a while. It's gonna take him

219
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: a while to get from under the scholarship stuff and

220
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: and by the way, and then quickly like they were like,

221
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: oh my god, Bay was actually pretty good all of

222
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: a sudden, and so yeah, he did a pretty good

223
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: job there. Temple was the team. I just I have

224
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: like childhood memories of like Temples Penn States opener, like

225
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: every year just there throw him to the Lions sixty

226
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: to three game, and then all of a sudden, you know,

227
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: Temple's winning eight nine games every year. Yeah, all right,

228
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna I was thinking of this Cowboys running back

229
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: that played at Temple, Paul Palmer. You've heard of him, No,

230
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: I haven't. I should the way now, he was a

231
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: twenty six. I should have used him. The year that

232
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys beat the Redskins is a further only win

233
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: one in fifteen. Paul Palmer was the running back and

234
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: he like lit him up that day and the Cowboys

235
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: finally got to win beat the great I've like learned

236
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: a legitimate amount because the eighties are definitely my Cowboys

237
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: weak spot because like you know about the legendary seventies

238
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: teams and obviously the nineties, it was the eighties for

239
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: me at least, it's a cloud like Yeah, it was.

240
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: It was a transition decade too. That means you're you're

241
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: still thinking you're good, but they're really not. They keep

242
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: losing guys and then just kind of plateau all the way.

243
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: But I think when I started giving you these answers numbers,

244
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you the nick answer,

245
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give you the right answer. Okay. That's

246
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: why I like that, because you know, because it's like

247
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: when you say twenty two you know whatever, like there's

248
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: a right answer. Well, there's a couple of right answers,

249
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: but imm it, you know. Yeah, But but I'm also

250
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna give you another just no, like this

251
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: is not a just a one year thing, so you

252
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: don't have to use them all this year. Yeah, we'll

253
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: have episode number thirty two next year as well. So yeah,

254
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: I feel free to kind of. So I'll just tell

255
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: you next week you don't even have to go to

256
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: Monday because there's gonna be a crazy game. We'll talk

257
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: about Monday. I don't have time. I'll just here right now.

Speaker 1: our first break. When we come back from our break,

261
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about storylines. I got a few storylines

262

Speaker 1: for these guys who are gonna figure out what they

263
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: think is going to happen in this game. A little later,

264
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll get to some questions. We already have a

00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk storylines. Cowboys will take on the Panthers is

313
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: Sunday at noon at AT and T Stadium. Panthers are

314
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: three and oh, Cowboys are two and one. First question

315
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: I have for you, guys, Carolina has a ten day

316
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: break coming into this game. Dallas is on a short

317
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: week after playing a Monday night game. How much of

318
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: an advantage is that for Carolina. I mean it's an advantage.

319
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: I just I can't get I can't get as worked

320
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: up about it as a lot of people do. And

321
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: I know the Cowboys played Monday, so I get it.

322
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: That's an extra day where you're not resting, But Thursday

323
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: to Monday, like it's like the two extremes, right, Yeah,

324
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: But well, what I was gonna say is, Cowboys played

325
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: on Thursday to open the season, Chargers played on Sunday,

326
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: and they turned around and played the next Sunday. Chargers

327
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: are on a short week. I know Dallas this week

328
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: is shorter, but my point is that every team in

329
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: the league deals with this stuff. Um, at least the

330
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys are at home when they have to do it. So, yeah,

331
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: it's probably an advantage for Carolina, but welcome to the NFL. Yeah,

332
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's an advantage a little bit. And

333
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: just you know, also when you when you think about

334
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: what Carolina is probably gonna have to do to win

335
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: this game. You know, defensively, they're gonna have to probably

336
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: come up with some different things and and they got

337
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: a little extra time to do that. But that happens

338
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: around the league. It happens all the time, and I

339
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: there's so many things you have to factor in as

340
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: a schedule maker. I don't know if you can say

341
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: short week versus you know, um, you know, short week,

342
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: long week. Did you say the Chargers did they play

343
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Monday night? No, That's what I'm saying. The Chargers didn't

344
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: have as short of a week. I'm just saying the

345
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: Chargers played Sunday afternoon. Cowboys had the long weekend, right,

346
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: because you can't match up everybody's Thursday. There's no way

347
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: with with all of the moving parts and the fact

348
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: that they play four nights a week now or however

349
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: many nights. I just you're gonna you're gonna have these

350
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: weeks and people have a problem with it. Watch Less

351
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: Football on TV gave the league lesson centive to do

352
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: this stuff. But we know that's not going to happen,

353
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, what do you want to do? I mean

354
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: they watch it like when it comes to like Thanksgiving

355
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, the Cowboys I think will

356
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: always from now on have a road game as long

357
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: as four as long oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, just

358
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: just to make it some I mean before Thanksgiving. I

359
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: know that's been a lot of things teams have kind

360
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: of complained about because the Cowboys get a Yeah, that

361
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: offsets the fact that you're always playing a Thursday home game. Yeah,

362
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: and I bet you that. I have to look at

363
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: the last few years, but I bet you the team

364
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: that's traveling to the Cowboys will probably play a home

365
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: game the Sunday the Sunday before. It seems like a

366
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: good bed. But you know, you can't, you know, but

367
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: it is an advantage. Yeah, it's advantage. I mean, coaches

368
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: think covering their mouth before they call play is an advantage.

369
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, they probably think this is a disadvantage. And

370
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: by the way, this is not the question was not

371
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of a complaint as much as it

372
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: is what are you are you expecting to see something different?

373
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: Because again, when you're talking about it's one thing for

374
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: a team even to have played on Thursday and the

375
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: other team to have played on Sunday. You're talking about

376
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: the two extremes. You played on Thursday and then you

377
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: played the other one team played on Monday. That's a

378
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: significant amount of difference in in recovery, is what I'm saying.

379
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: And so do you guys expect to see that play

380
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: out on the fields? Not masking? No, that's I mean

381
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: teams Monday night football has been a thing forever. I mean,

382
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: teams know how to play on that schedule. Third, I

383
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: mean getting ready for Thursday. Yeah, that's I mean, that's

384
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: a different animal. But you still have six days and

385
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: again that's why you do stuff like not practice Randy

386
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: Gregory even though he could probably practice. And actually, you know,

387
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: there's a whole interesting wrinkle about it from a preparation

388
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: standpoint where McCarthy was talking to us this week about

389
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: how they had people on staff who on Saturday and

390
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Sunday of last weekend, we're game planning for Carolina. They're

391
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: like the Hayes in the barn for Philly. Well, we'll

392
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: take care of that, but you guys, let's do some

393
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: advance work. And then Tuesday morning, the coordinators Kellen Moore

394
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: and those guys dan Quinn, they skipped the Philly game

395
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: like they got up. I'm sure they probably watched the

396
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: tape that night after the game, but they got up

397
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: Tuesday at oh dark thirty and we're onto Carolina. I mean,

398
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: it's just it's just the way you got to do

399
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: things in these situations. All right, let's move on to

400
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: the next topic. Carolina has a number one defense in

401
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: the league. Is there number one defense the result of

402
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: a weaker schedule? Or will would this be the week

403
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: that someone slows down the Dallas Dallas is high powered

404
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: offensive attack. I think that's that is the central that's

405
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: the central question with this game. Very so what do

406
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: you think is gonna happen? I think both things can

407
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: be true. I think again, Matt Rules a great defensive

408
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: coach Phil snow as well. He's been with and they've

409
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: known each other forever. Um, they have talent, obviously, we

410
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: talked about that yesterday. Um, So I don't I don't

411
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: think it's a complete fluke. But I also they have

412
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: not played somebody of Dallas's caliber on offense yet to

413
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: just happen. Even the Saints, who have a more veteran offense,

414
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: were decimated by covid U. So yeah, I mean, I

415
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: respect what Carolina has done, but I'm not intimidated by it.

416
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: It's the best time of year. This is college football,

417
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: pro football. It's best time of year because football season

418
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: is going on, you're in it, and it's still is

419
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: still early enough to not know everything that's happened. Every

420
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: game's fun. Every game is you know, and you think

421
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: you think you know some stuff and you don't. I mean, like,

422
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: like I think, Dave you alluded to the twenty nineteen Cowboys.

423
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: Is that right? Three? You know? Started three and oh

424
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, and everybody said they had and played anyone yet,

425
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: And as it turned out, they hit they hadn't and

426
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: it showed. And I think if it's eight and eight,

427
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: they sure did, so, you know, and it's just, you know,

428
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: the bottom fell out there in the week week four,

429
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: and they faced the defense that shut them down there

430
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: in New Orleans, and then um, the Jets came and

431
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: all you know, I guess there was a loss in

432
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: between there. I can't remember how those three losses went.

433
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: They lost, they a New Orleans game, New Orleans and

434
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: then the Packers I believe, and then the Jets twelve

435
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: to ten, twelve to ten. Hated that game. Yeah, Um,

436
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: but I just think it's it's early, it's it's you're

437
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: both both things could be right, I mean it is,

438
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: but I am I'll take Dallas's resume so far up

439
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: against just about anybody, and that like, screw the Philly game.

440
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about that. Going on the road

441
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: and beating a very talented Charger team that just beat

442
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Transitive properties not a thing, but that is

443
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: a testament to their quality that they can beat the Chiefs.

444
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: And then you take and Tampa Bay to the buzzer

445
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: on the road in that environment. Yeah, what we thought

446
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: of Tampa Bay's defense coming to this season based on

447
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: last year, was that that was going to be a really,

448
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: really great group which returned all of their players, and

449
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys put up points on them. Yeah, and you know,

450
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: I think, you know, when you look at the Cowboys Panthers,

451
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys should get more of the benefit

452
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: of the doubt because if you said, come into it, hey,

453
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: Dak's gonna be rolling, That offense is gonna be going,

454
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: They're gonna play all kinds away. Kellen Moore, You're like, Okay,

455
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: I saw what I saw last year and him healthy

456
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: and all that. Yeah, I could see that. Um if

457
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: you're like, Panthers are gonna be three and oh their

458
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: defense is going to be you know, menacing, Like oh really,

459
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: So you're still surprised a little bit. So if you

460
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: get the benefit of the doubt that that's why they

461
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: play the game, They're gonna play it sending We'll find out.

462
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: This is a statement game for both teams. I'm gonna

463
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: say if Carolina five, if Carolina wins, they'll be the

464
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: talk of the league. Not that Dallas is the scene

465
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: as this juggernat, but it's like, Okay, you went on

466
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: the road and beat a great quarterback what looks to

467
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: be a pretty good team. Yeah, I mean they'll they'll

468
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: be the talk of the NFL if the people will

469
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: talk less about what the Saints were missing and say

470
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: more of Hey, they beat the Cowboys and the Saints. Yea,

471
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: and both those teams you think are two of the better, better,

472
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: not great, two of the better teams in this in

473
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: this day, at least in this conference, right, and so yeah,

474
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: that that definitely changes the narrative on the Panthers. What

475
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: a difference that game can make. It just in your record.

476
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: Just think about where we're gonna be sitting here on Monday,

477
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: three and one or two and two. Big difference. I mean,

478
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: it's just huge. It's it's a huge difference in where

479
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: even though it's one game and it's a longer season,

480
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: but man, three, I mean it'll this This is a

481
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: This is a huge game for the Cowboys. They got

482
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: If they're gonna be the team they think they're gonna be,

483
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: you have to, Jason Garrett stack wins on top of

484
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: each other. That's what you have to do. Why football

485
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: is so great. Just you get one shot at it,

486
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: and I mean you get seventeen shots at it, but

487
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: you only get you get one a week, and they

488
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: all matter a lot. Yeah, all right, So how will

489
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: this offensive line, particularly steal Beyondish Williams, hold up against

490
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: the league's best pressure defense and that's at least statistically,

491
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 1: they are the best pressure defense in the league. How

492
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: do they hold up? So I actually read a really

493
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: great story from a buddy of mine, Benjamin Solak, who

494
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: works for The Ringer. He wrote a whole breakdown of

495
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: the Panthers defense and kind of what they do and

496
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: how they pressure, and there it was very complimentary toward

497
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: the Panthers, but then it kind of transitioned. It was like, okay,

498
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: but this is a different caliber of quarterback. And I

499
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: guess the point I'm bringing up is they're gonna pressure Dak,

500
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: and an offensive line is probably gonna have its handful.

501
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: But over the last two years, Dak is incredible against pressure,

502
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: Like if you blitz him, the success rate is off

503
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: the charts. And that's again, that's what makes this so

504
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: fun is I'll take my chances with the Panthers do

505
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: and what they're doing, and I you know, I bet

506
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: Dak will get sacked a couple of times. But he's

507
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna make them pay if they do that

508
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: too much, is my guess. Yep. I think, you know,

509
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: running the ball, I said it yesterday. I think running

510
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: the ball is certainly gonna help with that. Um, you know,

511
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: just just just be balanced. I mean, be don't be

512
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: a one dimensional team. And that's why scoring early what

513
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore has been able to do, scheming this up

514
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: and getting some you know, early drives. All three games

515
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: they have come out and have done a nice job.

516
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: That first game in Tampa, they were on two, they

517
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: got down there. I mean it's the one throw. Dak

518
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: probably with one or two throws of that game he'd

519
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: like to have back. He miss the wide open, probably

520
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: would have scored there. But they are starting fast, and

521
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: by starting fast then they can play, they can run,

522
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: they can pass the you know, mixed up the way

523
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: they want to do. So I think whoever scores first here,

524
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: you know, gets gets a nice advantage, is going to

525
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: have a huge advantage in this game. I do think.

526
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: And actually it was it was funny bit of synergy

527
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: because I was in the studio yesterday. I was in

528
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: the control room getting ready to shoot my show and

529
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: Will McClay came in to shoot his segment of The

530
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: Coaches Show, and he broke down the way the Panthers

531
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: do things, and it was in the story I just

532
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: referenced as well, which is they love They basically disguise pressure,

533
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: so they'll show you a look, you know, two dbs

534
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: come down, safety comes down, whatever, and then at the

535
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: last second they'll drop back and do this, and the

536
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: line has already made their calls and done this, that

537
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: and the other, like, Okay, we've got two guys on

538
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: the left, we got to account for that. Then those

539
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: guys bail out. Line doesn't have people in front of him,

540
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: and meanwhile, Brian Burns has an unblocked look at the quarterback,

541
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: which it's fun to watch defenses do stuff like that.

542
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: But again, Dak Prescott is going to be way better

543
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: at accounting for that type of stuff than Zach Wilson.

544
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: And I think that's who that blitz came against, if

545
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: I remember correctly. So yeah, I think them Connor and

546
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: Tyler and those guys handling all of the weird stuff

547
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: Caroline is probably gonna want to do is going to

548
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: be a big challenge for this game. But I think

549
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: having Dak. I mean Matt Rule. Actually, Matt Rules said

550
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: it this week. He was like, he looks like Brady

551
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: and Manning at the line in the way that he's

552
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: up there. He can account for everything. He knows what

553
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: every moving part is, and I think that's going to

554
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: give them an advantage in that and the other thing

555
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: on that saying on an interesting point that's similar to that.

556
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: You look at Dak and how quickly he gets rid

557
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: of the ball. I read a stat earlier this week

558
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: he's the sixth fastest in the league with regards how

559
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: fast he gets the ball out against teams like that,

560
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: Like that matters, right, And then you think about how

561
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: they played particularly, I think it was in that first

562
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: game where you remember early in the game, hey, we're

563
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: doing all these different kinds of exotic things and misdirections,

564
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: and when you got a really fast defense that's really aggressive,

565
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: doing those kinds of things can a lot of times

566
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: get them to slow down a little bit because they

567
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: have to take their time to figure out where the

568
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: ball is and what's happening. So I think between those

569
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: two things, I think the Cowboys are really positioned well

570
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: to be able to deal with a very aggressive and

571
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 1: fast defense like this one and be able to offset

572
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: some of that stuff with what they do offensively. All right,

573
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our final break. We'll come back. We

574
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: got a couple more storylines we want to hit, and

575
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: then we'll get into some questions. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1: you deserve is finally here. Before there was a draft,

604
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: you could size up a cowboy by three simple factors.

605
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: The crease in his hat, the bend of his brim,

606
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: and his unbending attitude. A man stetson didn't just protect

607
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: him from what life through at him. It projected a rugged,

608
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,520

Speaker 1: s WBC Mortgage studios at the Star and let's flip

619
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: over to the defensive side. There a couple of storylines

620
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: I want to hear with you guys. How much will

621
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: Dallas benefit from the absence of Christian McCaffrey. I think

622
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: that's well. I mean, obviously, when you lose a all

623
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: Pro caliber player, that's big. I mean that seems obvious.

624
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: But well, let's the reason why I say that, though,

625
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: is how many times have we seen over the last

626
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: several years, you go into a game there's some star

627
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: player that's not there and you're like, oh, this is

628
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 1: gonna be an opportunity and doesn't get taken anybody. Somebody

629
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: else steps up and they kill you. I mentioned this

630
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: a couple days ago, but I do wonder having a

631
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: versatile running back. And I haven't watched a ton of Carolina.

632
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but all twenty two fix it game pass sucks.

633
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: It's awful. Having a versatile running back is. So it's

634
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: something that Joe Brady has leaned on in his career,

635
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: and that's Christian McCaffrey is a guy that you can

636
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: feed the ball to as a runner. Sixteen catches in

637
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: nine quarters of play. I mean, do the math on that.

638
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: That's he's just he's your safety net, and so the

639
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: closest thing to a safety net other than that, assuming

640
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: Chuba Hubbard is a rookie who's going to take some times,

641
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: probably Tommy Tremble, who is also a rookie. So yeah,

642
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: I just think in terms of having that outlet to

643
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: just get the ball out if you need to, Bucky said,

644
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: Darnold looks comfortable. A big part of that is probably

645
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: having a little bit of a do everything guy who

646
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: can help you manufacture yards easily. Yeah, and when you're

647
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: a guy like McCaffrey, who who you know, he shines

648
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: in the passing game. You know, he has a good

649
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: understanding of do I block here? Do I leak out

650
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: here and take a screen? You know, just say it's

651
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: not just passes out and routes. I mean, I think

652
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: very rarely does that happen. This is this is he's

653
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: got a good flow of it, and a rookie is

654
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: harder for them to figure that out. So I think

655
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: athletically though, chop be Hubbard can be a really good

656
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: player and a good runner, and you got somebody to

657
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: watch out for. But I wonder if they're going to

658
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: lose a little bit in that dynamic of okay, blitz

659
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: here when we see this, we do this, you know,

660
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: do I pick up this guy? So it'll it'll it's

661
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's not he won't be considered one of

662
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: the best backs in the NFL if they if he

663
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: just leaves and another guy just comes in and takes

664
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 1: his place. I don't and I think he is one

665
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: of the best backs. Yeah, that's a can of worms.

666
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: But it made me think about the Zeke Pollard debate.

667
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they're good players all over the NFL. I

668
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: mean you can replace production if if the player is

669
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: good especial at the running back, and the coaches know

670
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: how to scheme for him. I haven't seen it from

671
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: Chuba Hubbard. I know he was a great college player

672
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: and he deceptively fast. He's like a he did track

673
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: at a pretty high level. I don't remember the specifics,

674
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: but he's yeah, he's good. All right. Um, final defensive question.

675
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: Can Dallas create pressure, sacks, turnovers against a questionable offensive line.

676
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: You've got Cam Irving, who Cowboys know a little bit

677
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: about as their starting left tackle. Bucky Brooks also mentioned

678
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: their center Matt Paratus. What do you think the Cowboys

679
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: chances are of getting pressure and maybe even sacks this

680
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: week against this offensive line. I'm bummed because I played

681
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals defense last night instead of the Cowboys, and

682
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, all you had to hear was

683
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: Cam Irving is starting on the other side. You should

684
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: have just done it. Yeah. I did the same thing. Nack.

685
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeahs got me a sack. Weird what It's a strange

686
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: play in my opinion, no offense, but that's it was.

687
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: But this is when you get cute. This is when

688
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: you get cute. You're like, oh, they've been doing pretty

689
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: good against other Trevor has been thrown a lot of Yes. Yeah,

690
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: so you're like, Okay, this all kind of matches up.

691
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: It's primetime. Maybe they're at home, like maybe their defense

692
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: just really goes in and goes crazy and not so much. Anyway,

693
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, I just uh, Cowboys defense putting pressure. Yes.

694
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: Fun stat that I did not know until thirty minutes

695
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: ago is that Donald has fumbled three times already this season.

696
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's some potential here. Yeah, we know Cam

697
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: cam Irving is not. That's that should be a favorable

698
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: matchup for Randy Gregory and hopefully for Michael Parsons. Um, yes,

699
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: they should be able to put some pressure on Donald.

700
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: I would hope. So, okay, go to the East over

701
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: here to Carolina and Charlotte and Panther's break whatever they

702
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: call it on the on the on the crow keep pounding. Yeah,

703
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: um they say. You know. Fun fact that I just

704
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 1: found out thirty minutes ago is Dak's fumbled four times

705
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: this year. You go, I mean like, sure, you know,

706
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's maybe you lose. He's lost two,

707
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: he lost the one against Philly and what did he

708
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: lose another one? Oh? He might only lost one. Actually not,

709
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: I think about it trying to. I think Zach Zack

710
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: jumped on the one in LA What was I don't

711
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: even I know he's That's why I don't think they're

712
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes you know, you fumble it, you just get it yourself.

713
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, technically, I'm okay, it does it counts as

714
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: a fumble that Dak dropped the snap and then threw

715
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: a touchdown to a Mari r That's a fule. Is

716
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: that a fumble? It might be, It might be can

717
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: considered a fund I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it does.

718
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: If you go look at the play by play, it

719
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: says like, yeah, so so I'm That's why I say

720
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: fumbles lost to me is a best Yeah, yeah, yeah,

721
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: and just fumbles. But good Sam Darnold though, has more

722
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns this year than he's had in his whole

723
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: career combined, Like he had two his whole career, and

724
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: he's had three in the first three games. So he's

725
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, and I remember this from the game that

726
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: they played the Jets. I was surprised, of course, it

727
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: wasn't that the year that everybody, every quarterback was running

728
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: on them drifskull and but Darnald, I mean he showed

729
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: you some some He's not a statue. He's really not.

730
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: He's not. He's not as mobile as Herbert and obviously

731
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: not hurts, but he's not a statue. Honestly, there's very few,

732
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: in my opinion, very few quarterbacks that come out of

733
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: college these days that can't at least move around a

734
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: little bit. Like it seems like all quarterbacks at this point.

735
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: Part of the job is you better be able to move.

736
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean Ben Roethlisberger was, I mean, he was as

737
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: big as a house when he came out of college,

738
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: and he's he's always been able to kind of maybe

739
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: not anymore, but not anymore when you back in the day.

740
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: The interesting thing about him was he was a take.

741
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: So when he moved around, good luck taking him down,

742
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: especial if he got a running start like it was

743
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: just he was a big deal. You're right, you don't

744
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: see a lot of y like that. It's four fumbles

745
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: for Darnald, But to your point, he's only lost one

746
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: of them, got it. But I do if you can

747
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: put some bodies around him in the pocket. Yeah, that's interesting.

748
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: You got a shot. If the ball hits the ground,

749
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: you got a shot. And I just I have to

750
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: believe they've been able to reliably get pressure against two

751
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: teams that overall have better lines. And I know Philly

752
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: was banged up with my Latta not out there, but

753
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: they should. I don't know if they're gonna sack him

754
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: a bunch, but they should be able to put some

755
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: traffic around him. And I'm guessing he's not at the

756
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: top of that list I mentioned earlier of God to

757
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: get rid of the ball really quickly. I'm guessing he's

758
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: not up there at the top of the list, so

759
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: you should have some time. I agree. All right, let's

760
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: let's go take a phone call. We got a call

761
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: from Ryan in Arizona. Ryan, what up? Hey? Ryan? Hey guys.

762
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: I hope everyone's having a good day. I was out

763
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: for the Eagles game last week, and you know, that's

764
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: probably the first game that wasn't spoiled by poor safety

765
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: play that I've done to And it makes me nervous

766
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: that so many of these guys are on one year deals.

767
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: How do you guys see this shaking out long term?

768
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: Who's coming back next year might be pretty mature, But

769
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: I got a little PTSD on the topic. That's totally fair. Yeah,

770
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I understand that you finally see good

771
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: safety play and you want to hold on to it.

772
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: But I mean it's a little early for me to

773
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: be thinking about that, right, I just I know it's

774
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: it's early, and because to me, I don't even think

775
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: about the safeties. I think about the scheme, and I

776
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: think about the defensive coordinator and stuff like that. If

777
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: dan Quinn is your defensive coordinator, I feel confident that

778
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: safeties are gonna want to play for him, and they're

779
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: gonna understand what they're doing and they're gonna be playmakers.

780
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: So as long as that's if he's the coordinator, I

781
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: feel confident on whoever he brings in. I'll just leave

782
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: it at that. And not only that, just to try

783
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: to give you a little more peace of mind. Off

784
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: the top of my head, I mean, Demante Casey is

785
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,959
Speaker 1: a veteran at this point, as is j Ron Curse.

786
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: Curse has been in the league since sixteen. I think

787
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Casey's seventeen. They both came here for dan Quinn. They

788
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: both you know, they're not these big market big money.

789
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm trying to say is they would

790
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: have to have Pro Bowl caliber years to price themselves

791
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: out of here, which maybe they will, but right now

792
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to say that. So I think it's

793
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: completely plausible that you could sign one or both of

794
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: those guys too deals that won't kill you. And then

795
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: I didn't include Malie Cooker in that because he's got

796
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: the name wreck. I mean, he's a first round pick.

797
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: If for some reason he blows up, maybe that could

798
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: be problematic for you. But right now he's not playing

799
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: enough snaps where I think he would have that opportunity.

800
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: So I don't view that as this drastic thing where like,

801
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, all these guys are gonna be worth

802
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: ten million a year next year. I don't think that's realistic.

803
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: If you want, if you want to keep them, the

804
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: likelihood that you could keep them is probably pretty sure.

805
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: And if they do price themselves out of here, it

806
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: means you had a hell of a year. So that

807
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: means your safeties went to the Pro Bowl. If your

808
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: safeties go to the Pro Bowl, that means you had

809
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: a pretty good year defensively. And if you do that,

810
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: that means they probably are a playoff team, probably a

811
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: deep play. So I would guess if that is a

812
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: problem in twenty twenty two, it will be a good

813
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: problem to have. Yeah, but I don't think it's going

814
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: to happen. All right, let's go back to the phone line.

815
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: We got a call from Bob in Nashville. Bob, what up? Hey, guys,

816
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: great show, Thank you, Thank you. He correct me if

817
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, But I think Dallas's record overall when the

818
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: running game is, you know, over one hundred hundred and

819
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: fifty yards, is a lot better than when doct rows

820
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: the ball fifty or more times. So who's us? I

821
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 1: think to probably run the ball as much as we can.

822
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: What about the addition of a fullback? I think I

823
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: tweeted that to you, Derek. I really think that's a

824
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: valuable asset if we can utilize that, because that means

825
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: that they pick up that first defender like usually a

826
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: linebacker the zeker Tony Pollard doesn't have to deal with.

827
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to pick your brains about that. Thanks guys, Okay,

828
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 1: thank you. Can I say something real quick before you

829
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: get to that. This always bugs me a little bit

830
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: when people talk about that stat of well, they win

831
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: when they rush, because I think what everybody's forgetting is

832
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: rushing is a byproduct of winning. Like what I mean

833
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: is when you're winning, you're able to run more in

834
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: the second half, so there will be games win. It

835
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: looks like that's the reason why would Really that's not

836
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: the reason why you want. It's a byproduct. But go ahead,

837
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get to whatever. No

838
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: one ever says, Hey, we gotta pass out the clock here, right,

839
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: I mean we're running out the clock. That's what That's

840
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do. That's typically what you do,

841
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 1: and running stats or a sign of success. I think

842
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: I've never heard Kellen Moore say this, but I think

843
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: that in his offense he feels like a fullback sort

844
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: of limits what they want to do from a versatility standpoint.

845
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: When now, if you get a dynamic fullback that can

846
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, be really good out of the backfield catching

847
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: the ball, that's that's one thing. But you know, you

848
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: put these guys on the field because you want to

849
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: create matchup problems. You have these two tight ends, Well

850
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: can run it out of this, we can throw it

851
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: out of this fullback. You know, it's really got to

852
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: be a third and one. Here's McGovern coming in or

853
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: whoever they want to bring in at fullback, and we're

854
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: not trying to trick you. We're just trying to get

855
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: this yard. So I think for the most part though,

856
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: they don't really want to have a fullback out there's

857
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: and I love the solution to it because you do

858
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: want one on occasion, and Kellen was like, Connor McGovern

859
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: can do this, and I think Sean McEwan can probably

860
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: do stuff like that when he's healthy again. Blake Bell

861
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: had a very small role doing stuff like that last year,

862
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: and I love the versatility of it because you're not

863
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: necessarily tipping your hand and that's the thing is. Yeah,

864
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: if it's third and fourth and one and you just

865
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: gotta dig people out and get a yard, that's great,

866
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: But in general, why do you want to invite people

867
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 1: into the box, And that's what a fullback does. You're like, okay,

868
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: they got a lead blocker, here he comes, and now

869
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 1: you're crowding down my goal. And I think Kellen's goal

870
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: is to spread things out and be again as multidimensional

871
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: as possible and create the most favorable matchups. I want

872
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: Zeke running into nickelbacks, not linebackers. Yeah, but I will

873
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: say this, if you do invite those guys down into

874
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: the box, you need a guy that's going to be

875
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: in that fullback position, like a Connor mcgoverned who moves people,

876
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: and like, you can't have just And I know they've

877
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: done this before, The Cowboys have done this in the

878
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: past where they'll take a tight end and put him

879
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: in that situation and the tight end runs up to

880
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: the line and he blocks the guy, but he had

881
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: moved him. So when you're in close quarters and you

882
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: need that yard, you need somebody's gonna move. You need

883
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: somebody that's gonna make away. And that's where I love

884
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: what they deal with Connor McGregor, I mean governed. Get

885
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: somebody out back there that's actually going to move someone

886
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: out of the way so you're running back then has

887
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: a bit of a lane or at least a crease

888
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: where he can get that yard. It's a fun wrinkling.

889
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: I hope we see some more of it in those

890
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: in those situations, Nah, I don't want to see mcgovernor

891
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: out there on too many. First, they need to play McGregor.

892
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: He can hang out in the suite, right, but I

893
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: don't want to see him out there now. You want

894
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: to see the McGregor walk afterwards when you get into

895
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: the end zone. But now they need to play called

896
00:43:55,840 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: the QB sneak and not. And I'm not talking about QB.

897
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Quintin Bohanna. Oh God, put him in

898
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: there and let him just run into somebody. I'm talking

899
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: about as a fullback. As a fullback, okay, because when

900
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: you say QB sneak, I'm imagining Bohannah taking the snack. No,

901
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: you know what I really want him to do, and

902
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: it might hurt your quarterback, but yeah, no, don't. Don't

903
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: you want him to do it would have worked, No,

904
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: he need your quarterback might not have gotten up. No, No,

905
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: that's not what I what I say. I say this

906
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: in the press box all the time, Like on a

907
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: quarterback sneak, I want my fullback just hitting the quarterback

908
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: right in the back. No, I'm pushed up. I'm one

909
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I'm with you. By the way, like Dak's

910
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: wearing a flak jacket, he's a grown man. He's fine,

911
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: and he's gonna push it doesn't okay, he doesn't have

912
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: to lead in targeting Okay, just just push like just

913
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get in the pain anyway I can.

914
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: Dak Dak does a quarterback is way too important to

915
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: me for me to have a defensive lineman hitting him

916
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: in the back on purpose like friendly shove. Okay, can

917
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: we just show up like Dak is Dak is like

918
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: the toughest. He might not he's tough. I got that.

919
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: That's not my point. My point is things happen in

920
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: the NFL. It is a contact sport. Like I don't

921
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: want to create extra contact for my I'm not asking

922
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 1: him to spear of the quarterback in the back. Just push,

923
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: push alright, alright, real quick for you in the show

924
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: when you to get some predictions, what do you guys

925
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: things gonna happen this Sunday, twelve o'clock noon. Cowboys Panthers.

926
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys. I think it's gonna be a

927
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: good game. I think I do believe that the Panthers

928
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 1: are probably one of those teams that's gonna be a

929
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: you know, a good, well improved team. This is a

930
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: great test for them. I think the Cowboys are a

931
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: rolland though and it's gonna be it's gonna be a

932
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 1: good game. I think they win. I'll say twenty four nineteen. Okay, Okay,

933
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that. I just I have this

934
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: feeling like something weird's gonna happen. The score score of

935
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: this game is gonna be weird. Ye, just somebody's gonna

936
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: get a safety or maybe a missed extra point, hopefully

937
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: not from IM. But I think it's maybe I don't.

938
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: I just I just feel that I feel like it's

939
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: something Mucky's gonna happen. Um, But I do like I

940
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: have absolute faith in this offense. The way they're playing

941
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: right now. Dak Prescott is so impressive and so confident.

942
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna look pretty all the time.

943
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: At like they're gonna pressure him, like I said, I

944
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: bet he takes a couple of sacks, but I think

945
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna burn them if they try to pressure him

946
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: too much. I think I think there's a lot of

947
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 1: plays to be made in the passing game. Amari Cooper

948
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 1: has talked this week about how much man they play,

949
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: have fun, play all the man you want. I think

950
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will win that more often than not. Um,

951
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: And I so I don't think it's gonna be an

952
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: easy win. But I think the Cowboys win twenty five twenty.

953
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: I think the Panthers. Panthers defense has enough to them

954
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: to kind of stand up and they're not gonna score

955
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: forty this week, but twenty I got twenty four nineteen,

956
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: so that's I had twenty five twenty before you said that.

957
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: So like my eyebrows kind of perked up I had

958
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 1: when you said I was think because I was thinking

959
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 1: twenty four sixteen. I think it's the game. The Cowboys

960
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: don't score as much as they would against North. I

961
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have some issue. They're gonna some things

962
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: are gonna have to figure out. But I think when

963
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: they get rolling, I think they'll score. And I actually

964
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: I was actually even thinking that's healthy. The sixteen for

965
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: them is kind of healthy. I think without their best player,

966
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: I think offensively they may be stretched a bit and

967
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 1: it may be closer to ten or twelve points. Hey

968
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: for Carolina, because I just I think they're gonna have

969
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: some struggles trying to get the ball in his ze.

970
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: I think the way the game's gonna stay close is

971
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 1: their defense is going to create some places for them,

972
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: maybe some turnovers. That's gonna be the big issue for

973
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: not calling out the Cowboys fans Cowboys Nation, because they're

974
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: they're great fans, but this is a test for them.

975
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: Monday night Eagles first game. Yeah, congratulations, you got loud,

976
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: he had towels. You did it, you want, Yeah, you did.

977
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: You did an awesome job. And they they played a role.

978
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: Noon Panthers bring it. That's where you needed. That's where

979
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: you needed to show that that you're this is you know,

980
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: you're in this thing, and like we haven't always seen

981
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: that but before I'm not you know, I don't know

982
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: if Carolina's gonna have a lot of fans. They'll probably

983
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna have some. You know, they're probably excited about their

984
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: teams in the game. You're gonna get a lot, be

985
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: a couple. But I just think this is this is

986
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: one where you know, you want to have a home

987
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: field advantage. It's easy to do it on the Monday

988
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: night against the vision team that you hate. Do it

989
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: against the Panthers, Yeah, beautifully said. Okay, noon games against Yeah,

990
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: noon game against an uncommon opponents. It has a tendency

991
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: to be kind of sleepy in there. I'm calling you, Olivia,

992
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: my daughter at the game. Bring it, Okay, thank you. Now,

993
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: this is one of those games where you know fans

994
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: can tend to sometimes, you know, fans can be this

995
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: is one of those games on the schedule you're like,

996
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: you know, I'll take my season tickets and I'll sell

997
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: these tickets because this is just the Panthers. I want it.

998
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: But and so yeah, you got rhino though. Maybe that

999
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,000

1000
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: looking game than it was three weeks ago. Yeah. Yeah,
