Cowboys got to win. 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: I get the first win of the season against the 12 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: New York Giants on Sunday Night Football. They win twenty 13 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: to thirteen. We'll break down for you guys everything that 14 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: went right and went wrong for the Cowboys because there 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 1: were some things that weren't perfect for them last night, 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: but they still did have a Why are you looking like, yeah, 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: kind of late celebrating last night or let's see sound 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: kind of horse here? Hey, you're just like wooing all 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: the way home stadium this weekend. There's been a lot 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 1: of barking. There's been a lot of stepping and a 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: light of a lot of celebrations. Alumni weekend, good weekend. 22 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: I was telling somebody, and Nicol can probably identify with 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: this because I know he has a few teams that 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: he roots for. I got three teams I'm affiliated with, 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: and they all won this weekend, which never happens. It's 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: the third one, the Lobos. You know, I'm a nephew 27 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: down there. Oh yeah, Mexico. So now I'm I'm New Mexico, 28 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: I'm Texas, and I'm and I'm I'm the Cowboys and 29 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: and all three he got wins this weekend. So I 30 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: really will jump across this table. You can't touch me. 31 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: Can't touch me, all right, But but we got a 32 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: lot to talk about, though. We do need to get 33 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: into this Cowboys victory twenty to thirteen over the Giants. 34 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: I want to start by just getting a big picture 35 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: from eating you guys. I want you to tell me. 36 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna go across the table. Everybody give me a 37 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: storyline that they think was the most important storyline coming 38 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: out of this game. Let's start with you, Dave. I 39 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: wish you had done that. Tell you what. Let's go 40 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: with Nick first, Let's go to Nick, let's got the 41 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: Elder Statesman first. Nick, h Um, the defense, you know, 42 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: they spread it around. I mean six different guys getting 43 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: sacks is means that different guys can can fly around 44 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: the ball and and you know hurt you. I mean, 45 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: I think Marcus Lawrence is the leader. But I think 46 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: for the most part that whole defense was was doing 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: a good job. Um. You know, the Giants are really 48 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: really bad, and they'll they'll pick a quarterback high in 49 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: the draft, but um, you know, I thought it was 50 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: I thought they were better than that. I wrote thought 51 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: the Giants were better than that. I know I picked 52 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 1: the Giants to win, but I thought the Giants would 53 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: be better than that. I think this Cowboys team is 54 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: you know, one and one. That's how you get to 55 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: eight and Nate when you do that kind of stuff. Um, oh, 56 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: you were tuning in for Sunshine and this morning kids 57 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: so much. In that one little statement we got, we 58 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: got to dive into defense looked really really good. The 59 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: defense looked good. Offenses will be better than that, but 60 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: they took advantage of a really bad There you go, 61 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: all right, I feel better about what I was going 62 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: to say now that Nick said that because I mean, 63 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to rain on anybody's parade. There's no 64 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: there was a dominant win, and you don't get a 65 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: lot of dominant wins in the NFL. So and I mean, okay, whatever, 66 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: the final margin was seven, even with the muffed extra, 67 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: even with the muffed onside kick, it was never in doubt. 68 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: So that's good. But yeah, that's not a good Giants team. 69 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: And so the main takeaway is obviously, like the defense 70 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: was a phenomenal, but how much weight does that really hold? 71 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: I gotta see it against somebody better. Having said that, 72 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: combine that with week one, so now you know your 73 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: two week averages two hundred and seventy four yards per 74 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: game and fourteen and a half points per game. I mean, 75 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: that's got to be close to tops in the league 76 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: on both fronts. I haven't looked at it yet. We 77 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: just got into work, but they look suffocating. They look 78 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: really really good. All sorts of reason for optimism about that. 79 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: Having said that, to the next points, that's not a 80 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: good team that they played. So you know, they're not 81 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: doomsday yet, but certainly a lot of reason to feel 82 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: optimistic about it. Amber Aside from the defense, I'm hoping 83 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: that when they come back today and watch film and 84 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: all that they can really take a look and realize 85 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: the things that do work out for this offense. You know, 86 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: we got to see Dak Prescott be a little more 87 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: mobile rushing the ball, and I think that's one of 88 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: the keys. When you don't have a perfect quarterback that 89 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: can make those perfect throws down the field, it can 90 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: work for him when you utilize him in those ways. 91 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: And when you start utilizing Tavon Austin Ezekiel Eliot, you 92 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: start giving him the ball and see those things. Clearly, 93 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: we saw how it started not working for them when 94 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: they took Tavon Austin now and they started doing different 95 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: things that It's like, why are you going to change 96 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: the game when you see it working? And they came 97 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: back later on what was a fourth quarter, maybe they 98 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: started doing it again what was working. So I'm hoping 99 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: I saw some positive there from the offense and saw 100 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: a more confident in Dak Prescott, and I think those 101 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: are the kind of things that they need to allow 102 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: him to do in order for him to keep that 103 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: confidence up and keep the offense moving. Almost get the sense, 104 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: and this is probably not accurate, but you get the 105 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: sense sometimes with the play calling that it's like they'll 106 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: do things just to kind of shut people up. Everyone's 107 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: saying all week, throw the ball down the field, get 108 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: the ball to Austin, run the ball was Dak, and 109 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: they do these kind of things to kind of like, see, 110 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: we can do this, But then they kind of revert 111 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: back to what they really want to do in the 112 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: second and third quarter, like this is kind of the 113 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: way we really want to play and it doesn't work. 114 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: Like there's a reason why I'm not saying that media 115 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: is smarter than them, but there's a reason why people 116 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: are saying throw the ball down the field, get the 117 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: ball to Austin because the other stuff isn't working. Yeah, 118 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: it's almost like they do it and again this probably 119 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: isn't accurate as well, but it just feels like they 120 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: do it because they feel like they only want to 121 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: do it when they have to do it, Like at 122 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: the beginning of game, if I want got the fast starts, 123 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: So they did it, and then they get into this 124 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: thing where they're like, all right, now we're settling in. 125 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: Let's do what we really want to do, like you said, Nick, 126 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: and then they get to the end of the game, like, 127 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: we gotta have this drive, we need this drive right now. 128 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: And then again they go back to doing what you 129 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: want to do. You need to do what you need 130 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: to do now, and that's what I'm going back to. 131 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: Like watch the field to this week, Notice, look at 132 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: what was working and keep doing that. You don't have no, 133 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: you lost that privilege. My favorite thing about Amber is 134 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: that if given the opportunity, she would walk right into 135 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: the coaches meeting rum and say that she wouldn't give up. 136 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: She certainly would say that. And I guarantee if she 137 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: seizes them in the hall, so she'll probably say it 138 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: then too. So I I love it. I agree that. 139 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: I mean, God, as good as they look to start, 140 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: they I like, I have like a mental lapse from 141 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: the mental two quarters of that game because I was 142 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: so bored, like it, just do something where like did 143 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: they have a drive longer than five plays after the 144 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: first two? I don't think so. You kind of figure 145 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: sometimes I think I said to you, that sounds like 146 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: it looks like the offensive line kind of wears down. 147 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: You know, this isn't the same line that we've seen 148 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: where they just kind of overpower people. It's almost like 149 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: they they wear down just a little bit, um, you know, 150 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: because this is you know, this is different for um 151 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: uh Looney to play that, you know this much and 152 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: the start and all that, and the same with Connor Williams. 153 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: So you know, they're still trying to figure this out today. 154 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: They did a nice job early in the game, but 155 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: it was hard to kind of sustain that, and you know, 156 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: leaning on Damon Harrison for that long. I mean, they 157 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: wear on you. And that's the fact they I mean, 158 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: they they actually they didn't give up a sack, so 159 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: that's better. That's improvement, right, But there were there were 160 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: plays I saw out there where Looney was having some 161 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: difficulty with with snacks Harris in the middle of that defense, 162 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: and there were some plays that that Lyle didn't look 163 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: great on the outside. And I'm getting a little I'm 164 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: starting to get a little bit concerned by Lyle because 165 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: I don't think he played great in Week one. I 166 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: don't think he played great yesterday either, And I was 167 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: expecting again, this is the fallacy of what we do 168 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: expected when a guy has a good year. Let's say, 169 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: for example, last year, I thought Lyle played really well. 170 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: My expectations in are the next year he's going to 171 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: be even better. And it doesn't always work like that. 172 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: And I think right now it's starting to worry me 173 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: just a little bit because he's just not taking that 174 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: next step beyond where he was last year. No, my opinion, 175 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: in first two games, nobody's defended him harder than I 176 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: have over the last year or so. Yeah. I thought 177 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: he played. I thought he was outstanding in the second 178 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: half of last season after some growing pains. To start 179 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: hasn't been good, no way around it. Um Again, I 180 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: think it's too early, especially, I mean, you get a win, 181 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: you ran the ball effectively, and you got the job done. 182 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to tinker with anything. Um right, Yeah, no, 183 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: no need to change. And you know he was. He 184 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: was not great in the first month of last season either, 185 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: so that's not what you want. But maybe it takes 186 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: him more time than others. I don't know, but I 187 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: can't argue with you. Once again. For the Vets, we're 188 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: in the preseason right now. Yeah, just say, we're in 189 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: the preseason. But this, you know, as I wrote last night, 190 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: I mean this is, without it out, a defensive football team. 191 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: They built this thing to be offensive. They built you 192 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: know this line in the running game, and they drafted 193 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: really high for running back to have this kind of 194 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: offensive attack. But that's not what this team is anymore. 195 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: It's not it's a defensive team, and that's okay, but 196 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: they're asking the defense to be really really good. They 197 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: were really really good last night. Let's see if they 198 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: can continue to do that. But and I just thought 199 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: I thought Jeff Heath was flying around the ball. I 200 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: thought Damien Wilson was flying around. Every time I looked up, 201 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: they were doing it, you know. And Barkley's a load man, 202 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: that guy. I'm still pissed at Cleveland for not drafting him. 203 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: They have issues with him for years. Yeah, he is 204 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: a good running back. Yeah, I still don't understand why 205 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: they didn't draft him because he was He's just so dynamic, 206 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: ready to play week one, ready to go right now. 207 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: Well for Cleveland, if you get your quarterback of the 208 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: future and the cornerback that you got it four already 209 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: has two picks this year. Yeah, I just question where 210 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: be a quarterback that'll be a good quarterback for them 211 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: in the future. So Bailey goes to Cleveland? Is that 212 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: what happened? That's gonna happen, Bailey, No, I mean for Minnesota, 213 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: and Minnesota was a ton of It's been reported now 214 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: that Minnesota's moving on. I don't ms M. Is it 215 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: the Rams Rams kicker got hurt yesterday? Okay, Minnesota? No, 216 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: the Browns are expected to sign somebody else, got it? Okay? Yeah, 217 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: there were there were a ton of kicking problems around 218 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, I think I had no chance of 219 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: making that kick. You know, like when they drove that 220 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: Cleveland drove down and he's just confidence wise and you 221 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: see it, And that's kind of what the Cowboys were fearing. 222 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: With Dan Bailey, they would get to that point. You know, 223 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: I don't think it would be that bad. I want 224 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: to go back to your point real quick though, because 225 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: and I'll contradict myself a little bit, I guess, because 226 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a very good Giants team and 227 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: as good as the past rush. Look, you gotta keep 228 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: in mind that that Giant's offensive line is a wreck. 229 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: But like all three levels of the defense looked very, 230 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: very impressive, Like your linebackers were flying around, still more 231 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: mistackles than you would prefer. It seemed, I mean, nobody 232 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: brought down sae Quon Barkley on first contact. Nobody which 233 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: easier said than done. I know, but we said that 234 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: was an important aspect of the game than they did 235 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: not do it. But the safeties were all over the place. 236 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: I mean Jeff that I know he was out of bounds, 237 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: but the re Jeff Heath made on that ball in 238 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: the end zone not surprising though he does that none 239 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: stuff like he just has that ability. They tested Byron 240 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: and Cheeto down the field several times. Cheeto gave up 241 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: a long one to Sterling Shepherd. I think it wasn't 242 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: even Odell Beckham, but it was just a beautifully placed ball, 243 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: like the coverage was good. Byron didn't give up mean 244 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: just every all three levels. I think everybody on the 245 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: defense had at least one play that that was really outstanding. 246 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: And there was no I don't think I remember a 247 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: single time when a Giants receiver was running free other 248 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: than the touchdown there and the I guess it would 249 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: be in the fourth quarter, but there really that's the part. 250 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: I think that was great because you're right, the cornerbacks 251 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: were tested at times, they tried to go downfield, but 252 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: every time they were in lockstep with those guys, And 253 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 1: to me, that's still just a continuation of what we've 254 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: been seeing during training camp and during the preseason and 255 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: these first two weeks of the season, they haven't really 256 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: been tested yet, I don't think, because they haven't run 257 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: up against an offense that has enough protection for the 258 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 1: quarterback to really challenge them and the receivers to challenge them. 259 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: It might happen in Week four against Detroit, but I 260 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: think for the test that they've had so far, they 261 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: certainly have passed those tests, Like, yeah, I mean, you 262 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: can only play who's in front of you. And even 263 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: in a loss against Carolina after a sloppy start, they 264 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: were outstanding there at fourteen and a half points. And actually, 265 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 1: for the story I wrote about the defense last night, 266 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: Sean Lee talked about, you know, you know, we still 267 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do, all that cliche stuff, 268 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: but he said, he's like, you know, if you go 269 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: back to like December of last year, when we all 270 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: got back healthy and they put the young guys in, 271 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of when I started to get an inkling 272 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: that this defense might be pretty good. I went back 273 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: over the last five games of last season, starting with 274 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: the Redskins win, which was right after the blowout that 275 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: they lost on Thanksgiving to the Chargers. They allowed sixty 276 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: points in the last five games of the year, which 277 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: is an average of twelve points something per game. Wow. 278 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: So for you know, you're giving up two pressent, you're 279 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: giving up two touchdowns per game so far this season 280 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: and less than that in the last five games last year. 281 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: So if you want to talk about how the offensive 282 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: trends go back to last season and that's cause for concern, 283 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: well you can add a few more games onto that 284 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: defense and say, hey, this is a growing sample size 285 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: that gives you a good cause for optimism. And you know, 286 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, if if all things being considering, 287 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: you look at all the different phases of your game 288 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: and you say, oh, there's a team that's going to 289 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: be good at this, not good at this. If you 290 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: give me a team that can play really outstanding defense 291 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: and can run the ball, I will be okay with 292 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: the idea that they're not the great greatest passing team, 293 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: because at least I've seen that model work. I've seen 294 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: teams that have won Super Bowls with that kind of model. 295 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: Not to say this team is in Super Bowl I'm 296 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: not even saying that, but I'm saying that model. That's 297 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: a model that we've seen work in the NFL. And 298 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: I'd rather have that model than have a team that 299 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: can throw the ball all around the yard but has 300 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: no defense. We've that model fail quite a bit. I 301 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: actually like it if you can get this defensive the 302 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: point where they're playing at that kind of level. I 303 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: think we're gonna get to the point later in the 304 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: season and we're gonna say, you know what, that Carolina game. 305 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: What we learned from that game is that, you know, 306 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: this really good defense had some problems with Cam Newton. 307 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: That was the problem that they really had. It was 308 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: this and he was just early too. Yeah, but it 309 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: was this dynamic, unique type of skill set that just 310 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: not anybody really in the league, not that many players 311 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: in the league have that. And I think, I mean, 312 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys will never admit this, but I think they 313 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: saw that and was like, you know what, our guy's 314 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: not that much different than that. He doesn't throw the 315 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: ball that great. He's a big, strong linebacker type body. 316 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: Do that, you know? And I think that you saw that. 317 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: I mean, just run, you know, read option there and 318 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: and take off with it. I thought if he if 319 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: he actually makes different cuts, he probably gets twenty or 320 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: thirty more yards, so he'll get better at that. And 321 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're gonna find out that that 322 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: game right there kind of helped him and we'll see 323 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: more of that with that. I hope you're right and 324 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: on it. And I said this this morning on Twitter 325 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: tavon Austin too. He got eighteen snaps, which is up 326 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: from last week. Still not enough in my opinion that 327 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: he needs more touches. And I think just I think 328 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: they motioned him on the fourth down, just like they've 329 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: just brought him across the formation again, just to give 330 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: you that half second. Do more of that too, Like 331 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: he just he should just be involved as a constant 332 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: threat to touch it even if he's not going to 333 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: what I've said so many times over the last few years, 334 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: not only that I wanted to see a deep threat 335 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: like that, but how many times have I told you 336 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: first series of the game, throw it deep with your guy, 337 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: even if you don't connect it. What you're showing is 338 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: is this is what we've got. This guy just ran 339 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: by you. We'll connect on this later. You're safety better 340 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: watch out and of course it led to a touchdown, 341 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: But that play can really help you as the season 342 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: goes on. Next week, you're sitting there in Seattle that 343 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: safety knows there's number ten out there. That stuff can 344 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: really help. Yeah, he'll definitely know. Oh yeah, yeah, he'll know. 345 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: He's gonna know, he'll know. All right, let's let's go 346 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: ahead and get a little bit deeper into the conversation.

Did he get enough touches? 350 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: Because you look at his overall production yesterday, pretty good average, 351 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: but the number of touches that he had was probably 352 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: a little less than you would think is what you'd 353 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: expect from a guy like Ezekiel Llot. But we'll talk 354 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: about it when we come right back. This is Dallas 355 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com Radio.

But you should, You absolutely should, You 421 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: absolutely should. Okay, let's get back into this Cowboys versus Giants, 422 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys win twenty thirteen. Let's dive a little deeper into 423 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott yesterday was sixteen to twenty five, sixty four 424 00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: percent completion rate, one hundred and sixty yards passing, one touchdown, 425 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: and ninety five point four passers I mean COMQB writing 426 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: and then he ran four He ran seven times for 427 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: forty five yards, which I thought was the best part 428 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: of what he did yesterday. All that being said, we 429 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: saw some things yesterday that we hadn't seen it in 430 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: the first game. Threw down phil a few times, connected 431 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: on one big touchdown, He ran the ball effectively with 432 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: the zone read. Here's my question for you guys. Was 433 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: it enough? What you saw yesterday certainly wasn't enough for 434 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: him to win yesterday against what you call bad team Nick. 435 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: Is it enough when you start playing the likes of Jacksonville, 436 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: when you start playing the likes of Philadelphia and a 437 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: lot of the other teams that are on the schedule 438 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: that are tough for teams, is it going to be 439 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: enough the way that they played offense yesterday, has had 440 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: enough for them to continue and win. No, I mean 441 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: that's not enough points and some of those games, and 442 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, he's got to make He's got to make 443 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: throws that are there, you know. I mean, I'm sorry, 444 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: but he's got I mean, he got a tight end 445 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: sitting in the back of the end zone, who's got 446 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: a really big wingspan. You gotta get him the football 447 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: and he's there, and you know, and there's no reason 448 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: and overthrown. Now I understand kind of his mentality. You 449 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: can tell he's gun chat when it comes to the 450 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: red zone. He's not throwing the pick in there. He's really, 451 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: you know, gonna make sure he doesn't do that. So 452 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he threw that up there from 453 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: that wheel route to Beasley in the back corner. That 454 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: back corner, he's gonna throw it in that back corner. 455 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: That was I did not love that decision. I thought 456 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: his decision making was pretty good for the most part. 457 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: Last night. I did not love that throw. But I 458 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: think you're right, he's just gonna, Yeah, he's gonna throw 459 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: it back there like that. He's not gonna fire it 460 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: in there. And he definitely overshot rico and which is 461 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: probably good for everybody in the place. I'm just asking 462 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: what back of the ends on wide open right? Hands up? Yeah, 463 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: I hope so, I don't know. If not, then if 464 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: he didn't run the right route, and then you know 465 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: what changed the play because the play was right. Whatever happened, 466 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: that's the biggest target you can possibly get too. But 467 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: question what would have happened to the internet? I mean 468 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: it would have broken. Yeah. I was kind of relieved 469 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: he overthrew it because I wouldn't have been able to 470 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: use Twitter for the rest of the night, just been 471 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: flipping place. Would have just gotten nuts. Scoreboard probably falls down, 472 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: which isn't Yeah, well that never happens there. Yeah right, 473 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it would have been nuts if he 474 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: would have got that beast nuts. Now what if he 475 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: would have dropped it a little less nuts but still 476 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: pretty nice press box? Would have gotten nuts. I can 477 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: promise you that What were you going to say? I 478 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: was going back to your question as far as is 479 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: this enough, I don't think so. But it's definitely the 480 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: right step, a step to the right direction. And I 481 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: think this and you kept saying we can keep arguing 482 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: about this. Whether it wasn't must win or not, I 483 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: don't care what you say. I definitely believe it was 484 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: a must win just because of the confidence I think 485 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: that we I mean, imagine how much it would have 486 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: sucked had they lost this game and their confidence. I 487 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: mean that that is just what they needed, especially going 488 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: up against the Seahawks this upcoming week. You needed to 489 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: gain that confidence back in Dak Prescott. I feel that 490 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: he did gain some of that, and the way he 491 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: was moving around and also not really overthinking. You didn't 492 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 1: see him just staying there in the pocket really you know, 493 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: thinking what to do and then messing it up. He 494 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: was making some decisions and sometimes it went his way, 495 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: sometimes it didn't, but it's still it goes along. And 496 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: when you look at the defense, look how much how 497 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: good that energy is within the group, and how that 498 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: infects everyone else, and it just it keeps going, it 499 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: keeps growing. So that's the kind of thing you need. 500 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: And when they started doing those things, you start progressing. 501 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: Now is it to that level yet, I don't know, 502 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, maybe doesn't have to 503 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: be that level right now. I do believe that you 504 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: mentioned Seattle and I've had that conversation I think with 505 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: each of you at some point over the last day 506 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: about Seattle. I personally don't know if I'm believing that 507 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: Seattle is as good as they've been in the past. 508 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: I want to see how they played a night. But 509 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: last week they certainly didn't impress me. And they've lost 510 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: a lot of guys, including now their top receiver, who 511 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: you know, they already didn't have a I don't think 512 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: a great contingent of receivers. They lost their top one. 513 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: I just I'm not convinced that Seattle is the Seattle 514 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: that we've been used to seeing. They're definitely not. But 515 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: this go I mean, this is a philosophical conversation that 516 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: I thought about starting with you in the last segment 517 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: because you're like, oh, I'll take a great defense and 518 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: an adequate offense because I've seen that work, and you're right. 519 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: But if you have one of those transcendent quarterbacks, you're 520 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: in any game like we've I mean this, oh, absolutely, 521 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: this team. I think if there's one thing I feel 522 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: comfortable saying even after two games, and it's kind of 523 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: like what I said last week, is like when the 524 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: game plans working and when the Cowboys are throwing punches. 525 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: It's a great formula. Yeah, but I don't know that 526 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: this team is designed to dig out of holes and 527 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: fix it when it's going bad. And when you have 528 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: a player like Russell Wilson, you can do that. Yes, 529 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: but here's the deal. The fact of the matter is, 530 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: right now, there are maybe five transcendent quarter No, no, no no, 531 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: you're don't don't mistake my argument. I'm not like, I'm 532 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: not worried that Dak is not that quarterback. I think 533 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: it's harder to just say, it's almost harder to find 534 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: that transcendent quarterback and get him on your team than 535 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: it is to find and create a good defense, a 536 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: really good defense. I'm just saying you still have to 537 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: account for that. And the Cowboys aren't there themselves right now, 538 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: but the Seahawks might be because they have a quarterback 539 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: that's on that level. That's a different conversation. Um, I 540 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: thought Dak was fine, Like he was fine, Like I 541 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: agree with what you said. I like the way you 542 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: say it too. He was fine, he was fine, Like 543 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: we should not be. We should not just be hyping 544 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: it up like this transcendent performance. You shouldn't be killing 545 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: the guy either. I really I thought he looked confident 546 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: and determined, Like he comes right out of the gate 547 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: and fires a slant to Alan Hearns on the you know, 548 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: first throw of the game, then goes deep even you know, 549 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: his deep ball to Gallop wasn't complete, but I didn't 550 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: think it was a terrible throw. Um. He had a 551 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: great completion on a third and ten to Deontay Thompson, 552 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: which it was it was solid coverage. He was not 553 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: wide open, but he fired it right in there and 554 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: hit him in stride. Then he misses Rico Gathers and 555 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: he may be a questionable throw to Cole Beasley in 556 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: the end zone the on the you know, the game 557 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: clinching touchdown drive. He had a nice third down conversion 558 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: to Cole as well. So there were four or five 559 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: really nice throws last night, and probably three or four 560 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: not very good. And then factor that in with fifty 561 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: rushing yards, I thought he was fine. I think Dak 562 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: and Tavon need to have an impact like that in 563 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: the running game damn near every week. In my opinion, 564 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: it keeps defenses honest, It keeps the wear and tear 565 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: down on Zeke and allows him to compliment them a 566 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: little bit. Passing games gotta be better, but not like 567 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: a ton better. I think you know, if he hits 568 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: Rico and maybe one of I mean, if he finishes, 569 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: great about the night, if he hit Rico, if he 570 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: finishes if he finishes seven, it was an eleven yard pass. 571 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: So if he if he finishes seventeen for twenty five 572 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: for one seventy one and two touchdowns on top of 573 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: the running, I think people even I know that sounds dumb, 574 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: but I think people feel a lot better. And you 575 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: can't have those plays back, I get it, but there's 576 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: enough there to feel encouraged about. You want him to 577 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: take what's there. I think that's what you really care 578 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: about at the end of the day, don't He doesn't 579 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: necessarily have to be that quarterback that manufactures a whole 580 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: lot in the passing game, but if it's there and 581 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: available to you. That was the part that I think 582 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: most of us criticized last week, was that there were 583 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: opportunities that were sitting in front of him that he 584 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: didn't he wasn't able to take advantage of. That's the 585 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: ones that you really want him to be able to hit. 586 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: Don't have to be Aaron Rodgers. You don't have to 587 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: be Drew Brees. Just take what's there. If it's there, 588 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: take it, and if not, then move on to punt 589 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: and move on to another series. If he just hits Rico, 590 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: then we would be saying that right now. We'd be 591 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: like he hit he hit all the easy plays. He 592 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: did what the defense gave him and so still got 593 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: some work to do. It wasn't great by any stretch. 594 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: We've seen him play a lot better, but it was 595 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: an improvement from week one, So that's a start. All right. 596 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about Ezekiel. He had a 597 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: seventeen carries, seventy eight yards four point six average, and 598 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown. He caught five or six targets, but only 599 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: nine yards on those catches one point eight average. Looks 600 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: to me like that was If you think about it's 601 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: only twenty two touches that I would have said at 602 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: the beginning of season there would probably not be a 603 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: game where he had especially if you told me what 604 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: this offense looked like, I would probably think there wouldn't 605 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: be a game where he had less than twenty five touches. 606 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: Do you think this is under utilization? Of Ezekuel Elliott 607 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: or do you think it just played out that way 608 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: in the game and this is what you had, is 609 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: what you were presented with. I mean, I don't know 610 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: when else he could have gotten the ball. I mean 611 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: they were that was part of the end game plan 612 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: and Lanta Collins kind of gave away the game plan 613 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: and obviously they're gonna go and try to stop him. 614 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: So you know, everyone always says they should have run 615 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: the ball more. You would run the ball more if 616 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: you're moving the sticks, and that's and I thought they 617 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: did a pretty good job with that. There was a 618 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: there was a part part in the second drive where 619 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: there was five consecutive first down plays. You know, they 620 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: were twelve, nine, and ten, and I thought that really 621 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: helped open things up later for for Zeke. But you know, 622 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: it was not an easy day to run. It never 623 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: has been really against the Giants um even though they've 624 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: changed defensive fronts, they still always make it tough on him. 625 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: So I thought it was it was pretty good. I 626 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: don't know about it really, yeah, I don't know about 627 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: under utilization. I thought it was it was pretty good, 628 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: and you know, they they tried to run it out 629 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: and you know, run out the clock a little bit 630 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: with him, and he kind of warmed down there later 631 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: on in the game, So that was good. Yeah, the 632 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: the touchdown drive was super encouraging because it's what Garrett 633 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: talks about all the time, that you know, you bang 634 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: on them enough times they're worn out. Nineteen yard gain 635 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: against that, you know, against Snacks on that drive and 636 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: then the touchdown was phenomenal. I mean it was second 637 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: and third effort. I mean that's just that's just being 638 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: better than everybody and being fresh when everybody else is tired. 639 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I'd like to see more than seventeen carries, 640 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna quibble about it, pat, I mean, 641 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: passing game is just come on. So I hate it, 642 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, I hate it. I can talk about it 643 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: till I'm blue in the face. But at this point, 644 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: like I said last week, like you lose the benefit 645 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: of the doubt, I'm I'm now just I'm making peace 646 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: with the thought that this is what it's going to be. 647 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,479 Speaker 1: Like why aren't they doing it yet? If they were 648 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: going to do it at all? Like I'm I'm no, 649 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm just like you see sixteen sixteen targets and fourteen 650 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: catches and like they weren't. It wasn't anything crazy with 651 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: him either, But every single time Zeke goes out. When 652 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: when I was looking at the stats last night and 653 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: saw that, I'm like, oh, they did with Barkley what 654 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: they wanted to do it. Honestly, that's overkill because they 655 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: couldn't get anything going in the run game. I don't 656 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,719 Speaker 1: even want sixteen targets for Zeke how I mean, honestly, 657 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: the targets and receptions is great, six and five. Can 658 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: we do something other than screens? And Zeke is all 659 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: he's always at the line of scrimmage and half the 660 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: time his back is turned to the line of scrimmage 661 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: when he gets the ball, and I think that's dumb. 662 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: And I will say this though, I mean, I look 663 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: at what they did last night. I think that's what 664 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: any team should do. When you have a player that's 665 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: as good as Ezekiel Elliott, as good as Saquon Barkley, 666 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: if you're having a hard time running the ball with them, 667 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: then I have no problem with the idea of them 668 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: getting fourteen catches. They should get fourteen catches because to me, 669 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: that's how maybe you can get your offense rolling because 670 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: guess what the best thing that the Giants did last 671 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: night last night offensively was get the ball in Saquon 672 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: Barkley's hands out on the outside. It did end up 673 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: getting the points in the yards that they really wanted, 674 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 1: but it was the best thing that they did. And 675 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: I think when you've got a player that's that much 676 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: better then your other players, he is that much of 677 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: a weapon. Getting him out of space with the ball 678 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: is never a badt is such a basketball type reference, 679 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: but you know a lot of guys can make plays 680 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: without showing up in the stat sheet. One of his 681 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: best plays is not a stat but when he took 682 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: that ball and didn't get freaked out by Landon Collins 683 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: being right there, pitches it to Tavon and then lowers 684 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: the shoulder and actually crushed Landon Collins to the ground. 685 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: Perfect pitch that had disaster written all over it with 686 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: Landon Collins just blasting to the play right there. But 687 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: he did a nice job of keeping the pitch available 688 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: and then lowering the shoulder. That's where the toughness comes in. 689 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: It's not a stat at all, it's not even a carry, 690 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: it's nothing, but he certainly you know, his strength and 691 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: his poise actually came into play. That's my favorite play 692 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: of knocking him down like that. Yeah, that was that 693 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: was really good play. I mean, did you think about that, 694 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: you would be like at all, no hesitation. Yeah, and 695 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: that's what being a big, strong guy will do. Like 696 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: all right, that's gonna hurt. But okay, Tavon Austin got 697 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: fifteen yards and didn't get any more carries after that. 698 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: It's interesting, you know, actually, speaking of which you think 699 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: about it like this, there were every every series last 700 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: night where Tavon Austin touched the ball they scored. There 701 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: were only three of them. It's it's just kind of 702 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: and I know that's just coincidence. Don't get me wrong, 703 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: it's just coincidence. But I do think there is something 704 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: to the fact that when Tavon Austin is involved in 705 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: this offense, this offense is going to be better. They 706 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: gotta figure out ways to keep him involved throughout the 707 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: entire game. It can't just be in spurts. I'm not 708 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: saying he needs to play one hundred percent of the snaps, 709 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: but he can do far better than thirty four. Especially, 710 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean, who in this receiver corp is just really 711 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: jumping out at you. Cole Beasley's off to a pretty 712 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:31,239 Speaker 1: nice start this season. Um, Deonte Thompson. Okay, but like no, 713 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys aren't light in the world on fire. 714 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: Terrence Williams is m I A U. We can get 715 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: to that. But maybe wait, maybe we can get to 716 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: that when we have a little more clarity. Yeah, yeah, 717 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys are rumored to be talking with 718 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: Bryce Butler. Nobody really has a clear idea. Why you 719 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: only left to assume, right, We'll have to have some 720 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: resolution as the week goes. But get loud in the 721 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: locker room. I don't know Bryce coming back music music. 722 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: I've been yelling, yelling being Bryce uber Um. I mean, 723 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: he's he's been the best receiver. He Beasley has been 724 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: the best receiver, but Tavan has been in the conversation 725 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: and he's only had I think he's got eight touches 726 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: so far this year. Per if you do it by 727 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: like you know, you kind of delimit it by the 728 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: number of touches of a a number of times on the field, 729 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 1: it's no question that Tavon Austin is the best receiving 730 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 1: and they got and both of his catches were down 731 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: the field. I mean obviously the bomb, but then you 732 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: know he had a nice comeback route, So like he 733 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: can do these things that they showed in training camps. 734 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: So do it use him? Using and that he is 735 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense why you wouldn't be using him 736 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: all the time? Him, him, him and Zeke both. I 737 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: mean the fact that so what Zeke had seventeen receiving 738 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: yards last week, So Zeke is at twenty six yards 739 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: through two games.

All right, let's jump back in. We've talked 817 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: about the offense quite a bit today. I do think, though, 818 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 1: we do need to get into this defense because as 819 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: we've already kind of animated this, this defense was the 820 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: best part of what they did yesterday and it's s 821 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: led by in my opinion, to Marcus Lawrence, I just 822 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: love what they're doing up front right now. Those guys 823 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: are getting after it, and it seems like it's every 824 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: game where they're just bringing tons of pressures. They did 825 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: the sacks didn't reflect how much they were getting after 826 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: Carolina in Week one. Last night, they definitely showed up 827 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: on the stat sheet when it came to six sacks 828 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: and six sacks by six different players, which I was 829 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: talking to one of our HR one of our PR guys, 830 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: and he was like, honestly, I don't even know how 831 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: we're gonna find this stat It's a hard thing to 832 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: figure out they did first time time nineteen ninety seven. Wow, yeah, yeah, 833 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: you're born barely Yeah yeah, yeah, it's been a while. 834 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: It just shows that that, you know, like I said earlier, 835 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: just there are being creative and how they're getting there too. 836 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: I mean the different blitzes. I mean, I think the 837 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 1: fact that you're seeing different guys, like not just pass rushers, 838 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,879 Speaker 1: but in the last two weeks, Jalen Smith has a sack, 839 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: Damian Wilson had a really key play in the game. 840 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 1: I thought that that kind of I don't know about 841 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: change the momentum, but really, you know, you just expect 842 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: coming out of the second half that the Giants would 843 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: go down and probably score, and they had a good 844 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: field position, and that that play really changed all of 845 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: that led to a field goal. I told you though, 846 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: I thought it should have been four down territory for 847 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,879 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. But I agree with that. Well okay, but 848 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: I mean, but then again, I mean, because it's a 849 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 1: you know, Lenahan, they don't feel that way. They don't 850 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: feel like they have problems on offense, which is a problem, 851 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: but you know, it's the opposite for me, like I 852 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: feel like they do have problems on offense, So you 853 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: get it. You don't have it. You don't have the 854 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 1: luxury of being able to be flip about points if 855 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,959 Speaker 1: you got a chance at a field goal. You don't 856 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: just say, well, we're going four to four downs and 857 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 1: if we don't get it, so what No, No, no, 858 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: you need the three because you might not be back right. 859 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,240 Speaker 1: So did you're trusting you're trusting that your three money? 860 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: And I and I watched the league. Yes, and he 861 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: has never made a kick yet, so I'm still not 862 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,800 Speaker 1: thinking that he's gonna make it. Is not until he 863 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: gets opportunities that we're gonna see. And he did good 864 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: jobs for him, I will. I mean, you gotta feel 865 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 1: good about the fact. And then again it's early. But 866 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,280 Speaker 1: if if you can get to twenty points, which hopefully 867 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: you can do in the NFL, you feel pretty good 868 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 1: about your ability to hold onto it. With the way 869 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: these guys would look, I mean, nine sacks in two games, 870 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy four yards, I don't honestly, like 871 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 1: most of those websites haven't updated their stats this Yeah, um, 872 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: it probably doesn't. If I had to guess, I mean, 873 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: the Panthers had six last week, so what I don't know, 874 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: but it's got to be close. And on top on 875 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: top of that, every position group on the defense had 876 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,240 Speaker 1: a pressure last night. Cavan had a sack from safety. 877 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: Obviously your pass rushers Damian Wilson had a sack. Anthony 878 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: Brown even had a pressure on a corner blitz, which 879 00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: you can tell me that that's Rod Marinelli all you want, 880 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,839 Speaker 1: and I don't believe you, which Sean Lee was like, well, 881 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, Rod's Rod's done that stuff before and he 882 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,240 Speaker 1: has I've vivid this clip. I vividly remember in twenty 883 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: fifteen when they beat the Redskins on Monday Night Football. 884 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,839 Speaker 1: They blitzed a lot in that game. And but that's 885 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: like it, So don't try to tell me that Like 886 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 1: this just reeks of Chris Richard to me, and I 887 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 1: love it. They look they look active and like you 888 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,959 Speaker 1: flying around like I mean, everybody's flying around. And yes, 889 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: they had some trouble tackling last night, but after every 890 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: mistackle there were about five guys on top of Sequon 891 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: Barkley right after, so they're flowing to the ball. They 892 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 1: look impressed. How about Jalen Smith, He I mean, what 893 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: a beast? What a beast. I am so excited to 894 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: see him play this way and how he I mean, 895 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: I bet um Eli's Jalen took his breath away literally 896 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: like after that hit, which it was a ton of 897 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 1: fun and that's going to steal the headlines and it's 898 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,439 Speaker 1: all the memes, but way more exciting to me than 899 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,479 Speaker 1: that was. Like it it might have been the first 900 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 1: play of the game. Sequon Barkley went off left tackle 901 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,879 Speaker 1: and Jalen just ran him down loss and I mean 902 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 1: the speed is just amazing. It's back, yes, it's back. 903 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 1: It looks really encouraging. I was just waiting for a 904 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: penalty there. I don't know, he did nothing wrong, but 905 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: I just like, if you hit a quarterback, the established 906 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 1: quarterback really hard, something just seem like, oh man, you 907 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: can't do that, and it was. It was a huge hit. Yeah, yeah, 908 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: you're right. I wish you know, I mean, don't get 909 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: out of the pocket like you were asking for. Green 910 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: Bay absolutely lost a football game yesterday because of a 911 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 1: rule like that with what's his name for the second 912 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: week in a rule. I mean that was happy. It 913 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 1: was not happy. Yeah, what's funny is that this rule 914 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,840 Speaker 1: about you know, putting your body weight on a quarterback. 915 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna happen where a safety is going 916 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,760 Speaker 1: to be doing that and it hit um Cam Newton 917 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: like that, and it's like you've got your way more 918 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 1: than me, Like you know, like I haven't even Cam 919 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: took a dirty shot by all accounts yesterday. I haven't 920 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: seen the replay yet, but so I don't I don't 921 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: know where I'm going back to this defense. And I 922 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: thought this was a really big game because you know, 923 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,760 Speaker 1: we've we've talked about it. I don't think it's dead yet. 924 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean, if they if they decide that they want 925 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 1: some an upgrade at safety and if they want to, 926 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: you know, make a move, they can still do that. Um. 927 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: I think after this weekend it could happen. You know, 928 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: but you had to win this game. You cannot be 929 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 1: O and two and be like, all right, now you 930 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: go to Seattle. You could be oh and three. You 931 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: don't want to give up any draft pick because you 932 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: don't know how bad you're going to be. This was 933 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: a really big game to see Ari, what do we have. 934 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: Our offense is pretty it's okay, it's average, and the 935 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: defense is above average. You could maybe get a player 936 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: that could make your deep because you're gonna have to 937 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 1: win games with an exceptional defense, and I think they're 938 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 1: really good. I think you can get exceptional though, And 939 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 1: I think the other side of that is also true. 940 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: I think if they should have some struggles a night, 941 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: if Seattle has some struggles a night, and then the 942 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,879 Speaker 1: Cowboys go to Seattle and beat them as well, then 943 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 1: I think that could also on the other side, make 944 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 1: them say what are we playing for? Right now, you're 945 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: talking I was just talking in general, you're actually specifically. Okay, 946 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm talking about it from the standpoint of it has 947 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: to be a two way deal. Everybody's got to give him. 948 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: Everybody's got to get making a trade. You mean that guy, Yes, 949 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 1: that guy. I'm talking. Who would you trade for if 950 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: not that guy? Oh? I mean, there's a lot of 951 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: safeties in the league. Everybody's got four. We can go 952 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,720 Speaker 1: down the list, got four and now I'm just kidding, Okay, 953 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: bring him home? What is it own home? Yeah, let's go. 954 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: I think that this is nothing against the safeties that 955 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: they have. I thought Cavon's pretty good time tackles out there, 956 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: but you know, like his role would be perfectly fine 957 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,320 Speaker 1: if it was if he was the third safety. Yeah, 958 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 1: I really I love him being the third safety. Play 959 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: a lot on special teams, come into the game, your 960 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,959 Speaker 1: physical you know, box player. Great, same was Davier Woods 961 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: when he comes back. There's a good role for these guys. 962 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: He actually plays in the slot. You can get better 963 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 1: than what you have with maybe Anthony Brown. How unlike 964 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: our how often do you just see blockbuster player trades 965 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL? Isn't just let me let me make 966 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: them a lot? Not a lot, but but more lately, 967 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: I think every season you see a couple how often? 968 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: And I'm this is gonna be good, so just bear 969 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 1: with me, But just how often do you see that 970 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 1: happen once the season has started? Not as much. So 971 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 1: if against all odds it does happen, I'm gonna go 972 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 1: on record and say I'm gonna buy Nick a cookie 973 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: cake for all of his hard work and determination to 974 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: see this thing. So you think you think Nick will 975 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,399 Speaker 1: have influenced that if it actually happens, No, just it's 976 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:48,360 Speaker 1: it's amber in the East and it comes back to you. 977 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,720 Speaker 1: To quote shy La buff don't let your dreams be dreams, 978 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 1: you know. So we'll just you know, we'll have a 979 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,399 Speaker 1: cookie cake party cream. If it happens no cookie, it's nick, 980 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: Well we'll talk about it. Cookie cake. Yeah yeah, maybe 981 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,320 Speaker 1: he'd rather just have a twelve hack of beer. I 982 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 1: don't know. All I know is there's some sugar. Isn't 983 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 1: always knicks, friends, They might not be the cookie cuts right. 984 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 1: That might be a bad idea. But you look at 985 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 1: this defense last night. Think about this. They held in 986 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 1: New York to a punt on the first five possessions. 987 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: They didn't allow them past midfield in the first half, 988 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 1: in the entire first half, they forced to fumble in 989 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,800 Speaker 1: the third quarters, getting turnovers. They had the six sacks. 990 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: It seems like all the different things measures you look 991 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 1: at for what a defense does and how you want 992 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 1: to evaluate their performance, they did it. So here's my question, 993 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 1: what is this defense not doing well where they need 994 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 1: to improve before? Before we get to that, before we 995 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 1: get that, we just talked about a bunch of food. Yea, 996 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 1: these these two guys, I mean Taco Cheeto. Seriously, they 997 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 1: both played Somebody stopped Odell Beckham from doing anything. They 998 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: covered in well and Tacco Byron too. Don't those corners 999 00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: are doing really well? But I really like what Cheetos 1000 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 1: ringing on the outside. I think he is a physical presence. 1001 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: They just haven't had the same with Byron Taco Charlton 1002 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 1: though he's really taking that next level. We're not even 1003 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: talking about the fact that I think your most freakish 1004 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:17,439 Speaker 1: defensive player with the best talent it is not here yet. 1005 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 1: Like that he might be. No, I still don't think so. 1006 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: I don't think that's true. I think your most freakish 1007 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,319 Speaker 1: defensive player is was an active in Randy Gregory. And 1008 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: if Randy Gregory comes back and does the snaps that 1009 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 1: Dorrance Armstrong was getting, Um asked the Actually, I wasn't 1010 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 1: talking about Earl Thomas. I meant David Irving, by the way, Actually, 1011 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,879 Speaker 1: and we forget about David Irving and David Irving. You're 1012 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 1: right when it comes to he's with time and seasons 1013 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,359 Speaker 1: before he gets in there for some reason. As soon 1014 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: as he gets in there, he makes it. He makes 1015 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: an impact, right, I mean all three of those guys 1016 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 1: with what you have. You replace Cavan with whoever, that 1017 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 1: guy somebody. You Replacedrance Armstrong with that guy, and you 1018 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 1: replaced um probably Antoine Woods. No, just replace Antoine. He's 1019 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:19,399 Speaker 1: a hot boy. I'm not cutting rans Armstrong either. I'm 1020 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 1: saying I'm talking about in your rotation of third and eight, 1021 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: we got to get off the field. You're looking at Gregory, 1022 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:30,400 Speaker 1: You're looking at d Law, Irving, Tyrone Crawford, maybe Taco 1023 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 1: in there as well. You got that guy out at safety. 1024 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 1: We're just putting them here already. It's gonna happen. I 1025 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,359 Speaker 1: want my damn out in the eight there, man, I'm 1026 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,440 Speaker 1: telling he's just there. I'm like, I took this is 1027 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,880 Speaker 1: a bad Giants team, and I don't want to overreact 1028 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,240 Speaker 1: for the millionth time, but it's awful. I mean, it's 1029 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 1: it is encouraging, and it's not crazy to think that 1030 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,800 Speaker 1: this could be the first time that the Dallas defense 1031 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 1: is an asset that's going to help them win games, 1032 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,239 Speaker 1: like actively win games games for the first time in 1033 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,400 Speaker 1: a long time. I make just one slight adjustment to that, 1034 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 1: or at least I'll make the point. You guys tell 1035 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 1: me I could be crazy on this one. I know 1036 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: you guys say the Giants aren't a good team. Have 1037 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: we thought about the fact that last week they played 1038 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,319 Speaker 1: what might be the best team in the NFL in 1039 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars and played them to five point deficit. Right, 1040 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,359 Speaker 1: And then they played the Cowboys this week. And again 1041 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Cowboys are great, but could the Cowboys 1042 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,879 Speaker 1: be better than what you're thinking and the Giants could 1043 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 1: be a pretty good team. They just played two equally 1044 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: good you know, you know, one much better than last year. 1045 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 1: It was a similar game nineteen to three Cowboys a 1046 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: week one of the season, and you know, you kind 1047 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: of thought, wow, this is really good because the Giants 1048 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 1: were good last year and we were kind of three 1049 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: of us kind of were like, this is a really 1050 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 1: good win. It was a good win. But Amber was saying, 1051 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 1: you know, I saw some issues there. You know, it 1052 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 1: was still a good win, but the fact of like, 1053 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: you know, you can see some problems. Yeah, but are 1054 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,400 Speaker 1: you talking about where the Cowboys are for the Giants, Well, 1055 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking about really for the for the Cowboys here, 1056 00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 1: but because we didn't really think the Giants were gonna 1057 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 1: go four and twelve. Yeah, and the wheels fell off 1058 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,759 Speaker 1: off there them because of the players that they lost. 1059 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,320 Speaker 1: They did so. But my point is is that sometimes 1060 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 1: still early in the year like that, it's hard to 1061 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 1: tell what's going to happen. You can still see some missues. 1062 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,879 Speaker 1: We see some issues on offense. Here, defense looks pretty good. 1063 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 1: It'll get better. They'll face some better teams, but you know, 1064 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 1: just different types of challenges. I think you've got a 1065 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 1: combination of the Week one and Week two quarterback. You 1066 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 1: have a combination or that. In Week three, you got 1067 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,239 Speaker 1: a better passer, you got a mobile guy. He's not 1068 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,839 Speaker 1: gonna drag defenders like that, but he's gonna get away 1069 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 1: from him. Yeah, but you don't. Honestly, I think these 1070 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 1: next two weeks, I think the Cowboys will face what 1071 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,319 Speaker 1: they've already faced from the standpoint that they will be 1072 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 1: teams that are really good at something, so whatever that 1073 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 1: thing is. Like Detroit, the challenge is gonna be. They 1074 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,120 Speaker 1: got some good receivers over there in Detroit, right And 1075 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,719 Speaker 1: with Seattle's gonna be you're probably gonna face the best 1076 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 1: quarterback you face so far this year. So there's kind 1077 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: of different. But all of them have their awards, just 1078 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,319 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys have their awards. It's not until you 1079 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 1: get into the month of October that you're gonna face 1080 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 1: some teams there that have that do a few things, well, 1081 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 1: a few things really well, and then you got to 1082 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 1: try to stop that, right iron I mean we say, 1083 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: we say it all the time, like, oh, don't don't 1084 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 1: try to assign wins and losses before the season starts. 1085 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the Bucks are two and oh no doubt. 1086 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 1: December just got hard. The Texans are oh and two. Now. 1087 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,319 Speaker 1: Of course, if Jamis comes back, then maybe maybe that's 1088 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,839 Speaker 1: not that's hard. I want. I want to. I want 1089 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,880 Speaker 1: to Patrick is playing his butt off if they don't, 1090 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 1: if they do sit him, I mean, you're kind of 1091 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 1: hoping if you're a Cowboys fan, by December, he's not 1092 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 1: playing anymore, because, trust me, he's playing better than Jamis 1093 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,000 Speaker 1: has played since he's been in ten. Trust mean, when 1094 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,280 Speaker 1: a guy gets hurt and he comes back at quarterback 1095 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,839 Speaker 1: and keeps his job right, it doesn't matter how well 1096 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,239 Speaker 1: the guy's playing. You keep your job right. Ways you 1097 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,560 Speaker 1: don't get you can't lose your job to injury, and 1098 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,800 Speaker 1: that the same. I want to. I want to steal 1099 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 1: just one more thing. I love this stats from a 1100 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,759 Speaker 1: Giant speed reporter, actually, Dan duggan U. The Giants had 1101 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,840 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty five yards last night. One hundred 1102 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,920 Speaker 1: and eight of those came on their last two drives 1103 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: when the Cowboys were very clearly basically playing prevent, which 1104 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,440 Speaker 1: I don't like, but it's I mean, they went into 1105 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 1: when the Cowboys went up twenty to three, the Giants 1106 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 1: had what's that I can't do math? They had like 1107 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards of offense. I mean it's awesome. 1108 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 1: I get it. It's frustrating when you're when you're having 1109 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: this great success and then all of a sudden, the 1110 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,440 Speaker 1: score looks a lot closer than the game really was. 1111 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,280 Speaker 1: But the only way we saw this and you guys 1112 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 1: were barely born, but I mean, we saw this game 1113 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 1: two thousand and five. I don't know if you remember 1114 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:35,120 Speaker 1: that game against the Redskins Week two. I'm just stalling 1115 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: high school, you know, I mean two. I think it 1116 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,880 Speaker 1: was two thousand and five. Remember they thirteen nothing or 1117 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: in the Redskins, they had the triplets and the Ring 1118 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: of Honors. Great night. All of a sudden, Mark Brunel 1119 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,919 Speaker 1: hit Santana Moss two deep touchdowns, Boom boom. You lose 1120 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 1: fourteen thirteen. The only way you're gonna lose is if 1121 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 1: you give up something cheap and quick, and he's got 1122 00:53:55,680 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: you gotta play the clock and grinded Ingramming Barkley touch 1123 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,040 Speaker 1: down and then Blake Jarwin's is great hands missus the 1124 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 1: plan and the clock is on your on your team 1125 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,839 Speaker 1: at that point, you gotta use it, right, Which from 1126 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 1: the time, like Jarwin giving you anything? Is he doing anything? 1127 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,319 Speaker 1: I mean seriously, I mean what does he do? He? Um? 1128 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 1: I made his case to not be on hands team, right, 1129 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: And I don't want to just say that because that's 1130 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 1: what we think about, but I mean, well, but no, Honestly, 1131 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,319 Speaker 1: at this point, what you're getting is you're getting what 1132 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 1: you kind of expect that you would get from a 1133 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 1: tight end position. You knew what you get from Swam. 1134 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,160 Speaker 1: He was going to be solid, right, and that's what 1135 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,879 Speaker 1: you're kind of getting from him. But you didn't. Did 1136 00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,080 Speaker 1: you really expect that Jarwin was gonna bust on the 1137 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 1: scene and give you anything? Did you really expect that? 1138 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 1: Which you watch the rookie and training camp, I'd expected 1139 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,279 Speaker 1: nothing from him. So if you want to do this, 1140 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 1: we can't. I mean, honestly, Jeff Swain is acquitting himself 1141 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 1: quite nicely. I think. I mean, he's not gonna catch 1142 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,399 Speaker 1: sixty passes for six hundred yards, Like, but he's doing 1143 00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 1: what you expect. No, I mean he had several really 1144 00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,879 Speaker 1: key blocks that opened up other plays ye last week 1145 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,359 Speaker 1: and passes, he's opening the end zone on one play. 1146 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, he's doing his job. Why do we have 1147 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 1: to do this twelve and thirteen personnel stuff? Like? Why 1148 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,319 Speaker 1: why are they going out there in an empty set 1149 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 1: with two tight ends? Why? Yes? Why? Yeah? Get Why 1150 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 1: why can't they get smaller and spread the field? I 1151 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:19,839 Speaker 1: don't know. Those are the opportunities where I'm like, if 1152 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 1: you want to find a reason a way to get 1153 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 1: Tavon Austin on the field, there you go right there, 1154 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 1: get the two tight ends off the field. I want 1155 00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 1: to read it out anyway. I wanted to do it 1156 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 1: last year with Ryan Switzer and they, I mean and 1157 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 1: Tavon Austin. It certainly appears to be better than Ryan Switzer. 1158 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 1: I just I don't understand it, and I've never I've 1159 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,239 Speaker 1: never designed a game plan in my life. I bet 1160 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,719 Speaker 1: I would be sucky at it. The only thing I 1161 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 1: don't like it at all. The only thing I could 1162 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,800 Speaker 1: think of is that it's it's their way of being 1163 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,360 Speaker 1: able to force a particular personnel group onto the field. 1164 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,080 Speaker 1: So if they want to keep linebackers on the field 1165 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,839 Speaker 1: rather than extra dbs, that's a way to do it. 1166 00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,960 Speaker 1: You show twelve personnel and then you spread them out. 1167 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,080 Speaker 1: Now again, that's the only thing I can think of 1168 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,759 Speaker 1: that would why do you want why why do you 1169 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,200 Speaker 1: want linebackers on the field instead of dbs when you 1170 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 1: have a two hundred and twenty pound running back and 1171 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: at two hundred and thirty pound quarterback. Let's see, Okay, 1172 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,879 Speaker 1: well they're not at that point. The running back isn't 1173 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 1: in the back. I get your point. I get your 1174 00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,919 Speaker 1: point there. But the problem is is your your tight 1175 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 1: ends that you have aren't these dual threat tight ends 1176 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,719 Speaker 1: where you're like, oh, you want to bring linebackers watch this, 1177 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna spread swam here when you're coming downfield. This 1178 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 1: is an ingram. They can't do that. Because I'm with you, 1179 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 1: I agree. I'm saying that's the only thing I can 1180 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,320 Speaker 1: come up with that makes it to where it's like, okay, 1181 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:34,799 Speaker 1: that could be a reason why they would do it. 1182 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: I still don't get the logic of it, but that 1183 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 1: would be the only thing I think I'm telling you, 1184 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 1: and I've said this a couple of weeks ago. I'm 1185 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,799 Speaker 1: gonna say it again. I really think this team needs 1186 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 1: to utilize Jama's old Wally more. I think he can 1187 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,719 Speaker 1: be a versatile fullback. I think he can get the 1188 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 1: ball out in the backfield. I think he can do 1189 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,000 Speaker 1: those types of things that you want and with a 1190 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,799 Speaker 1: little bit of versatility. They're not utilizing him enough, and 1191 00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,800 Speaker 1: I think he could be more of a lead blocker. 1192 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 1: But he also can play that h BA role tight end. 1193 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 1: They're not using him a lot now. He played more 1194 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 1: this week, did some blocking. I still think that there's 1195 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,360 Speaker 1: a role for him. Yeah, I think they have to 1196 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 1: find a way. In my opinion, if they're looking for 1197 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 1: ways to get those receivers on the field and involve more, 1198 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 1: it means taking the tight ends off the field, and 1199 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,240 Speaker 1: I think that's better for this team overall. I think 1200 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,200 Speaker 1: Age made a really good point at the top of 1201 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 1: the show, which is like there's a difference between what 1202 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 1: they want to do and what they need to do. 1203 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:30,040 Speaker 1: She said they've given up they right well to. Unfortunately 1204 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 1: she's wrong about that, Like they can do whatever the 1205 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 1: hell they want. There's only like one or two people 1206 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 1: that have the power to change that, but well, it's 1207 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,960 Speaker 1: pretty easy. Do you want to win or do you 1208 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,919 Speaker 1: want to lose? Please, let's get you into this meeting room. 1209 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 1: Let's get you in there. But I so there's there's 1210 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 1: what they what they want to do is that stuff, 1211 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 1: and I don't think it works very well. And we've 1212 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 1: gotten two game sample size to back me up on that. 1213 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 1: So we'll see where it goes from here. Well, we'll 1214 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,920 Speaker 1: see how it goes. They got some some challenges coming up. 1215 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: I think the fact as though, that these next two 1216 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 1: weeks they do have a little bit of a reprieve 1217 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 1: to try to figure some other things out because they're 1218 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 1: not playing great teams. They're playing teams that are probably 1219 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,080 Speaker 1: where they are pretty good, have some things they do well, 1220 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 1: also have some warts. I think these next two weeks 1221 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,080 Speaker 1: you got to try to figure something out before you 1222 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 1: get into the media schedule. That's saying college football, man, 1223 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 1: that's not how this works. What do you mean? I 1224 00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:22,439 Speaker 1: mean like every week is gonna like no reprieve going 1225 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,439 Speaker 1: on the road to see I don't know, you don't 1226 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying, that's not what I was saying. The point 1227 00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: of our winnables not yes, you're not going up against 1228 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 1: the best teams in the league. These next two weeks, 1229 00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 1: You're going up against good teams that have certain things 1230 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 1: that they do really well. You're gonna have to defend 1231 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,280 Speaker 1: and certain ways that you may be able to exploit them, 1232 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: but you also can get exploited. But there aren't the 1233 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 1: best teams in the league you're facing these next two weeks, 1234 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 1: so you do have a little room to figure some 1235 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 1: things out before you have to face a team like Jacksonville, 1236 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,240 Speaker 1: before you have some other teams that are on your 1237 00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,160 Speaker 1: schedule that are much tougher competition than what you're what 1238 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,640 Speaker 1: you face so far. You know, like I said earlier on, 1239 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,920 Speaker 1: you know you're one and one for these two games. 1240 00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 1: You have a good chance probably you could be two 1241 00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 1: and two there. That's just how it works. Building. Just 1242 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 1: work your way right on update and Nate, is that 1243 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,440 Speaker 1: what you're saying. Yes, that's the way. That's the way 1244 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 1: it's looking right now. Let's hope not. Let's hope that. 1245 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,160 Speaker 1: Let's hope not. All right, We appreciate you guys, join us. 1246 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:10,600 Speaker 1: We're back tomorrow. We'll give you a big picture look 1247 00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,960 Speaker 1: at around the NFL, around the NFC East and get 1248 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,080 Speaker 1: you guys ready, start getting you ready for Cowboys versus 1249 00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,760 Speaker 1: the Seahawks.
