I'm so excited about today's show because we're 13 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: gonna get you guys ready for this game this weekend, 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys versus Giants. It is the first opportunity to Cowboys 15 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: have to rid us all of the images that we 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: saw last weekend and hopefully they can get themselves going here. 17 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: After watching the game last night, the night Game, it 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: became clear to me that what you see in week 19 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: one is not always what you see in week two. 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: If you saw yeah, you watch that, If you saw 21 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: the Ravens last week and then you saw the Ravens 22 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: this week, You're like, Okay, yeah, that's how the NFL is, 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: And certainly that's how it is in the first few 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: weeks of the NFL season. There's some validity to that. 25 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: But I mean you're talking about, like I feel comfortable 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: betting a large sum of money right now that Buffalo 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: is gonna be picking in the top five. I agree 28 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: with that, and Cincinnati is probably gonna be a I mean, 29 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: they're at least going to be in the conversation for 30 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I agree with that. So do you think 31 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: they're as good as they looked so far? Though they've 32 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: looked really good these first two games, Um, Cincinnati, I 33 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: think they're a seven to nine win team, and now 34 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything that dispels that notion. So they're loves. Yeah, 35 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: I mean, they exactly mean, ain't nobody, no, no, no, 36 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck's first game and two years that that might 37 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: be the most talent poor roster in the entire NFL 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: in terms of like, if you win down the line, 39 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: you might take two cold players over anybody else. If 40 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: you could just pick anyone you want it, right, watch 41 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: those well, maybe why the jury is still out like 42 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: we don't. Is this is Andrew luck back? I don't 43 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: know t why the the Quentin Nelson, the Guard maybe 44 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: Malie Cooker and then squad? Yeah yeah, sorry, what's up? Nick? Oh? 45 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: So would you watch those games if it wasn't for 46 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: fantasy football? I had no fantasy players playing list, I 47 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: watched you. I just like watching foots like football. I haven't. 48 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: I just was watching it like I don't really care. 49 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: Just as long as AJ Green makes a few catches up, fine, 50 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: But I wasn't watching like you care. Like it wasn't 51 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: like I cared about the app watch football. I just 52 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: like football. I just want to watch football, you know that. 53 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm so happy football is back. I know some die 54 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: hard football fans who really only want to watch if 55 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: it's like the best of the best. Like I'm watching 56 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: Bowling Green Toledo on next Wednesday night. On next Thursday's 57 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: Jets and Browns. Yes, yeah, actually I will because I'm 58 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: both those teams are intriguing to me, so I will 59 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: watch that. I think the Browns do it one of 60 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: the most interesting teams in the league. Yeah, I will 61 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: definitely watch that. Yeah, no doubt. All right, so let's 62 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: get into this Let's talk about cowboys and giants. Let's 63 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: first start with the injury report. Let's talk about some 64 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: of these guys that are on the injury report. Obviously, 65 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: Travis Frederick, Xavier Woods. They did not practice, the expectation 66 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: as there continue to be out Randy Gregory, Yes, did 67 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: not practice. What are we seeing? What do we think 68 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: just some today? Okay, he was out there today. We'll 69 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: see if it was limited or full. But he was 70 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: out there in the portion that we were able to see. 71 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: Garrett had said earlier that he anticipated him doing stuff 72 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: and that he was cleared. So it's a good sign. 73 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: What I could have done a little bit better job 74 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: is actually trying to find Daytona Jones and seeing what 75 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: that status was. I still feel like Gregory's the type 76 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: of guy and the type of player that if he 77 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: is cleared to practice, he'll probably be cleared to play 78 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: Sunday night. We're talking about you know, we're not talking 79 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: about a noon game. We're talking about seven o'clock kickoff 80 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: of those seven hours is his big So I think 81 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play, honestly, and I think that 82 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: that helps you. I kind of think he is too. 83 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: I don't know why you would put him out there 84 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: today if you didn't think he was gonna play Sunday. Right, So, 85 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: I think unless he has any kind of setbacks, I 86 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: anticipate him playing would be good. Dayton Jones limited in 87 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: practice yesterday. What are you hearing about him? Now? You know? 88 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: I think if Gregory is playing, I think that's your 89 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: eight lineman. And I think it would probably just make 90 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: sense to say, all right, well, sign let's let's sit 91 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: him this week. And it doesn't I mean, he was limited, 92 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: but it doesn't sound like he did a ton. He 93 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: needs to be full if you're going to meet missing 94 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: that much time, especially because that means he's going to 95 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: probably take another guy spot out of the rotation, right right. 96 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what though Dayton is as the 97 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: type of I mean, hopefully he's a veteran, Hopefully he 98 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: sees the riding on the wall. He needs to get 99 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: back for week three, for sure week four because we 100 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: know in week five David Irving's coming back on the 101 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: team and and yeah, you don't want to be that 102 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: tackle that it's not you know, good point producing. So 103 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: I mean, Daytone, I would I would get back in 104 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: there if if you could, and I bet you will. 105 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting that they like him enough to keep him. Yeah, um, 106 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: talk to me about There were a couple of guys 107 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: that were full participants yesterday. They all good Cavon Frasier 108 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: to Marcus Lawrence, Dak Prescott, good, good, good, awesome, good 109 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: to go. All right, so let's go through an actus. 110 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: What are we thinking for this week? Real Travis and 111 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: Xavier real quick? Yeah, pretty big piece of injury news 112 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: for the other team. All right, Olivier Vernon has been 113 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: ruled out. Actually, that's good, it's great. That's their best 114 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: pass rusher, right, their only pass rusher, at least the 115 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: only they the only one that should scare you. I 116 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: literally tweeted that at me. I was like, I get it. 117 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: The guys on the other side are good too, but 118 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 1: you're going against a second game rookie and Lorenzo Carter, 119 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: Connor Barwin, who is not the guy. He's a solid guy. 120 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: He's solid, solid player, not a great pass rusher, solid player. 121 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: This pass rush should not abused the Cowboys offensive line 122 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: the way the Panthers did. Nobody, nobody on that group, 123 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: and no Barwin has faced them several times. Nobody on 124 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: that group has given Tyrant Smith as much problems in 125 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: a game as Olivia Vernon did one time with Dolphin Miami. Yeah, 126 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: and you're you're at home. It's easier at home, That's 127 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: what they always say. At least I've never actually blocked 128 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: somebody in the NFL. UM And I just if the 129 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys struggle to protect Dak in this game, 130 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: it's way some problem. It's just way more concerning than 131 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: what happened in Carolina. Yeah, you talk about Olivia Vernon. 132 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: I actually think that the reason why he got that 133 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: contract with the Giant is because of what he did 134 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: in that game against Tyrant in Miami. I'm sure they 135 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: were looking at that saying, hey, this is the guy 136 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: we got her face twice a year we have problems with. 137 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: We need to bring that guy in because obviously he's 138 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: got something. With no doubt about that. Um, I'll tell 139 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: you another in act of UM. If we're just gonna 140 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: put one out there, I would say Schultz over over yeah, 141 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: week yeah, really yeah, I just feel no I say 142 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: that week. I just know, but I we watched practice 143 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: the yesterday, I mean sorry, last Friday and this Friday. 144 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: One particular drill that I saw. Um, it was just 145 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: it was right after special teams, which can't see anything 146 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: on special teams because neither one of them are playing, 147 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: so that doesn't give you anything. Um, there's a there's 148 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: a drill that they do where Daks it's just Dak 149 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: in the center and then it's like all of his 150 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: skill players and they run through first and second and 151 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: I guess the third team. And last week Rico was 152 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: way back helmet off and Schultz was in there. This week, 153 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: Rico's doing it. But don't rule out maybe two tight 154 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: ends and they're both inactive. But I think if there's 155 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: three tight ends, I think Rico is the third tight end. 156 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: So let's put a tight end. But I would say 157 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: Schultz I would love to see got two snaps last 158 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: week too. That's it. Two snaps. Now, where do you 159 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: want Rico to play the most red? Well, let's get there. 160 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: That's the biggest issue that they You know, all this 161 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: stuff about mar is a pretty good kickoff guy. Cool, 162 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: Let's let's do that. Although I will say this, like 163 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: I'm not against the idea of creating some opportunities where 164 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: you go down field Rico too. I mean the reason 165 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: why I say that is because they're probably going to 166 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: have one guy on him, and even if it's a 167 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: jump ball type situation, like I love his opportunity downfield. 168 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: In a jump ball situation with one guy on him, 169 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: I don't think most guys are gonna be able to 170 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: jump with him. So to me, I would love to 171 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: see him use him in a lot of different ways, 172 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: not just red zone, just to see what they can 173 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: get out of him. Now, of course, you always have 174 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: to worry about the fact that there is this perception 175 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: that he doesn't know the offense. My personal belief, tell 176 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: him where he's got to go, just say run straight. 177 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: The play that we've looked at a lot where a 178 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: Dak did not throw the ball into Swain. Yeah, you know, 179 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: let's say that's Rico. You say he couldn't see him. Well, 180 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I think he could see him. I 181 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: thought he was looking at this. No, he would definitely 182 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: see Rico. And it's one of those plays where you 183 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: throw it up there at the at the you know, 184 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: twenty five second clock and hope that he comes and 185 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: gets it. If not, then some guy in a yellow 186 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: jacket's got it exactly, especially if you're if you're wondering 187 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: if Dak is really seeing the feel well, which it 188 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: sounds like you were kind of intimating yesterday. Maybe there 189 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: are a lot of things going on in front of him. 190 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: You give him a big target, and there's not a 191 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: bigger target on this team than Rico Gathers. So I 192 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: just think all the way around, it gives him one 193 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: more piece that he can that he can use that 194 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: is again easy for him to identify, easy for him 195 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: to get the ball to and let him make a 196 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: play on it. I think it's worth doing. Yeah, and 197 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna die laughing if Freeco Gathers has like three 198 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: catches for sixty yards and a touchdown in this game, 199 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: just yeah, it'll be very funny and like it's like 200 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: a good stat line in a not funny kind of way. Yeah, 201 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, I just thought of something though on the 202 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: on the inactives when we talked about Gregory and Daytone 203 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: Jones and all that, Um, you know, DeMarcus Lawrence. I 204 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: don't think it's serious at all. He's on the list 205 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: as with a growing injury, and Gregory is on there 206 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: as knee and concussion coming back from it may not 207 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: be the worst thing to try to keep nine guys 208 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: active though, you know, like, let's say he is ready 209 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: and then maybe they only want to do two tight ends. 210 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: That's possible. So I was I was thinking, why would 211 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: they want to go three tight end? I'm only two 212 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: and it could be because they need to go long 213 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: at another position in that position would probably be defensive end. 214 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say if they go three, I think 215 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: it's three go, but there's a possibility that they go 216 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: to So right now, let's just put up Gott Travis, 217 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: I've got Xavier Um. We think it'll be at least 218 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: one tight end. Yeah, Mike White White, So now you're 219 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: at four. Chris Covington was he active last week, so 220 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: he's probably a guy that that's another inactive There was 221 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: there another linebacker that was inactive last week. No, okay, 222 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: so you're up to five. Could go the route of 223 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: two tight ends. That can give you six, but it's 224 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: some offensive linemen in there. Yeah, I'm trying to think 225 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: Redmond or suet Philo. What do they do if Redman's inactive? 226 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: What do they do if Joe Looney goes down Zack Martin, 227 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: he slides the center and then they slide in whatever 228 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: reserve guard they have. It was um last week was 229 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: so it has to be the new guy, right, Yeah, 230 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: now Redman is a guard center. Yeah, it'll just come 231 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: down to see if one of those two how ready 232 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: he is. I would say they probably sit Sua Philo 233 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: because they sat Redman because they didn't think he would 234 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: be ready so quickly. So why would you put that 235 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: on Sua. So one of those two Sua Philo or Redman, 236 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: I probably will be in. I go the other way. 237 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: I think I think he'll be ready, and you'll go 238 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: and think sits just because I think sometimes when you 239 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: when you sign a player like that, that is a 240 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: question you've already answered of how ready are you? How 241 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: much will you be able to come in right away 242 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: and do that? And so I think it's a you know, 243 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: I think you'd be ready to go first for a 244 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: second und thick. Yeah, I mean that doesn't mean anything 245 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: but ago or five years ago. Yeah, all right, So 246 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: you guys have to give me either you have to 247 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: make a choice, either a second tight end or give 248 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: me an other name to get your final seventh person 249 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: on the inactive list. Did we already say Dayton Jones? No, 250 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: we didn't have a defense. Yeah, I'm probably Dayton Jones 251 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: if I had to guess. All right, and I gets 252 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: you to seven. So we got Travis Frederick, Xavier Woods, 253 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: Dayton Jones, Chris Covington, Mike White tight end if you're choosing, 254 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: and then Suephila Flow or Redman. Yeah. And if they 255 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: don't like, uh, you know, if they feel then they 256 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: need a little bit more depth a defensive line, then 257 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: I guess that's tight endy. We do two tight ends. Yeah, 258 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: inactive we'll see. Okay, good, that would be interesting because 259 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they've ever done that before. But yeah, yeah, 260 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: I don't I don't see that happening. I don't see 261 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean, they do so many things down there. Yeah, 262 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: short yardage in situations. All right, let's take our first 263 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: break when we come back. I have a whole series 264 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: of questions for these guys.

Do you think that last week what we 269 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: saw with Dak as far as pressure was about the 270 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: scene that they faced, or about problems that you could 271 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: expect to continue to see.

Offensively, 329 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: what's a key for the Cowboys offensively to be able 330 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: to be successful in this game, don't use the same one. 331 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: So whoever goes first probably gets that one. Dak needs 332 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: to play better. Is that too obvious? I mean challenge accepted. 333 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: That's that's high brow and analysis right there. I know, 334 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: like I really got into the weeds there and confused 335 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: you with all the xs and ohs. But Dak has 336 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: to play better, like he just has to in the 337 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: long run. But in this game especially, I mean I 338 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: said it, I've said it a million times this week, 339 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: Like Landon Collins is going to be down there in 340 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: the box. They're going to try their best to have 341 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: more defenders than the Cowboys can block. And it's I mean, 342 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: Zeke is still gonna be Zeke. You know, he's had 343 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: eighty yards against this team. He had seventy. He had 344 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: ninety all purpose yards against Carolina, which if the other 345 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: half of the offense had picked up the slack, it 346 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: would have probably been enough to win. But I think 347 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: they're going to clog the box. They're gonna trust Genorris 348 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: Jenkins and Eli Apple to do their job, and it's 349 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: on these receivers to prove them wrong. And it's on 350 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: Dak to get the ball there they do that. I'm 351 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: gonna ask you a very pointed question, and I know 352 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: it might be a little unfair, but I'm going to 353 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: ask it anyway. Can Dak be better than what we 354 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: saw last week? Because well, no, no, let me ask 355 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: you why. Let me tell you why. I'm asking the question, 356 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: because there's now been a prolonged period of time with 357 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: multiple games where what we saw last week has consistently 358 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: been what we've seen. He hits some of those short passes, 359 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: he has a pretty decent percentage completion, but it's not 360 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: moving the offense. They're not scoring a bunch of points. 361 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: Back then, if they had a veteran quarterback, wasn't Cooper 362 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: Rush who looked terrible in the preseason games. If they 363 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: had a veteran quarterback, would you make the switch this week? 364 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: I'm not if I'm trying to figure out what I have, 365 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: and I am still trying to figure out what I have, 366 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: Like I don't. I don't know that anybody knows yet 367 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: what Dak Prescott really can do. I think I think 368 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: they're still trying to figure that out. And that's why 369 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: you have to keep playing him, because you got to 370 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: figure it out. I think that there were some throws 371 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: that he did not make it in the game. We 372 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: have seen him make a lot more in other games, 373 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: and so therefore I think he can definitely play better 374 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: than that. I do. That's I said it. I think 375 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: I said it on Monday, like I'm not which. Granted, 376 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: you want that in the long run. I get that, 377 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: especially if you're going to give this guy a major contract. 378 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: But I'm not asking you to throw the post through 379 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: double coverage and anticipate the break and do some Aaron 380 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: Rodgers stuff. I'm just asking you to hit the six 381 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,239 Speaker 1: yard crossing route that's not covered, or the you know, 382 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: the Cole Beasley slant against the bad one on one coverage. 383 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: Like the throws that he missed, some of them were 384 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: throws that we've seen him make a thousand times. And 385 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: that's for the time being. I said this yesterday, and 386 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: I felt stupid saying it. He was so bad that 387 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: it almost makes me feel good because it's like you 388 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: were so bad that that it's an aberration, Like you 389 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: can play better, yea, even even in the even in 390 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: the stretch where they were bad last year. I think 391 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: uh that he made some plays like that I'd like 392 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: it was. It was on another level from what we've 393 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: seen from him, in my opinion, and I have to 394 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: think he can be better than The discouraging part for 395 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: me was that what we expected in the first game 396 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: his rookie year, or a few times in that rookie season, 397 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: that was what we kind of expected out of him, 398 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: that type of game, just missing some balls and stuff 399 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: like that. But what we had seen in the previous 400 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: two years, especially with Zeke in the lineup, is that 401 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: you know, he's a lot more comfortable. He just looked uncomfortable. 402 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: But for my point, I'll say that I think would 403 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: certainly help him. I think that they have got to 404 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: be better on first down because that will dictate the 405 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: whole series a little bit. And on if you can 406 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: get to second and four, second and five, then Zeke 407 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: is still in the mix there you start at second 408 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: and ten or worse. With these penalties on first down, 409 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: ye have no shot really with this. You know, Alan 410 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: Hearns caught a twenty yard pass. It was the longest 411 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: pass of the game. So when you get a holding 412 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: penalty on first down first to twenty, it's hard to 413 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: think that you're really going to get those twenty yards 414 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: and so they've got to be playing ahead of the 415 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: chains there, I will it, you're right, But it is funny, 416 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: like you know, I mean, they have these meetings on 417 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: Monday afternoon, Monday morning where they go through the game 418 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: and talk about everything, and then you can see it 419 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: filter out, like you know, Jason talks about it on Monday, 420 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: and then Jerry talks about it on Tuesday, and then 421 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: the players are talking about the rest of the week. 422 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: Is like, well, we we just got behind the chains 423 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: and it just took us out of our rhythm and 424 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: took us out of everything we want to do, which 425 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: like there's some validity to that, but it's not like 426 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: it's not like there's nothing you can do about that, 427 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like that's on you. You 428 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: made the mistakes. You got to fix it. And it's 429 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: disheartening to think that a pro offense can't come back 430 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: from a second and twelve, you know what I mean. 431 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: Like I said earlier in the week, it reminds me 432 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: of watching LSU, which is like, if you don't gain 433 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: three to five yards on first down, your chances of 434 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: success already plummet. And that's not I mean that's not 435 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: good enough, but it obviously would help, and they got 436 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: to be better at that. They got to cut out 437 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: the sloppiness for sure. Give me a key. Each want 438 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: to give me a key defensively for the Cowboys tackle. 439 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, no, you're bringing some fire today, guys. Check 440 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: check this out. Check this out. Everybody that's on this tour. 441 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: Dak has to play better and the defense has to tackle. 442 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: That's next level analysis right there. Um only here on 443 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys tack. No. I mean but I and I said, 444 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: and then no, I think they can hear. They didn't respond. No, 445 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: there was a guy point. He was like, yeah, yeah, 446 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: you're right, Oh god, you're right. Get him down. Not 447 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: not just Odell Beckham too. Like I I have repeated 448 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: flashbacks of the play in New York two years ago, 449 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: the ten seven game, where like they had nothing going 450 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: O'Dell beat car on a slant and it's like it's 451 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: an eight yard pass that went sixty for the game 452 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: deciding points, and that's that's what they can't have. Like 453 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: O'Dell's gonna make his plays. He did it. I mean 454 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: he had eleven catch us from one to eleven, but 455 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: he didn't they didn't let him have that kill. That's 456 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: the difference. They did let him have that backbreaking play. 457 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: Sequon Barkley did break their back. Fortunately for Jacksonville it 458 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: didn't cost him in the end. But you gotta limit 459 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: the eight and twelve and fifteen yard games. You can't 460 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: let them turn into chunk plays. I think to me, 461 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: Cavon Frasier is the guy that has to make the 462 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: play because we've seen how many games now with Eli thirty, 463 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: probably he will float one over the middle to one 464 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: of those safeties and they will it'll be an interception 465 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: waiting to happen. It'll be it'll be Frasier, it'll be Heath, 466 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: it'll be somebody like that. He will throw you the 467 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: football and you've got to catch it. You got to 468 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: make the play. You know. They did a nice job, 469 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: was it Cheeto ripping the ball out, but nobody was 470 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 1: there to make it. Nobody was there to go get 471 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: the ball. Heath didn't. He got his hands on the ball, 472 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: but he didn't catch it. That there's gonna be gifts 473 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: that that Eli will put under the tree. You better 474 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: open them up because if you just don't take advantage 475 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: of it, then they'll they'll keep moving and Barkeley will 476 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: get some yards and they'll probably have I don't know 477 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: who their kicker is, but Rosas, I don't know him. 478 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: He's actually Eldrick Rosas, like they've they he beat their 479 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: guy out last year and he's actually been pretty damn 480 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: good to him. One which along that line this I 481 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: actually just thought about this, but Miles Jack had to 482 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: pick six of Eli on a tipped pass, a tip 483 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: pass at the line, which we talked about how bad 484 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: the protection is for the Giants, and we talk about 485 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: how disruptive this line is. Taco Charlton had a pass 486 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: break up at the line in Carolina. Maybe that could 487 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the way you can get yourself a turnover too, 488 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: is collapse that pocket enough to affect his literally affect 489 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: his passes. Okay, um, all right, So here's the next question. 490 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: Last week we saw a lot of pressure on deck, 491 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: he got six sacks, had people in his face a lot. 492 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,239 Speaker 1: Do you think that that was a result of just 493 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: facing a really good defensive front or do you think 494 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: it was a really bad performance by the offensive line, 495 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: in which case you would think maybe they could remy 496 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: remedy that this week, and you would and see a 497 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: repeat of the same thing. I think that, um, I 498 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: think it was probably more about the line, the defensive line. Okay, 499 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: I think that that was probably the case. Now, I 500 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: mean the answer is both. You know, the fact that 501 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: you didn't play well and you're not playing well against 502 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: a really good defensive line, and it's gonna be it's 503 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: gonna be bad. But I think overall, you know, I 504 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: I'd like to think that the Giants won't be given 505 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: as much problems for them. They'll they'll clean up some 506 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: things as well, and you know, there won't be six sacks, 507 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. But I mean doesn't matter if 508 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: if there's pressure every play, it's gonna be tough. Because 509 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: he looked that looked very uncomfortable, and I think the 510 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: offensive line will do enough to make him a little 511 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: bit more comfortable. I'm torn. I mean, anytime you give 512 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: up six sacks, there's blame enough to go around for everybody. 513 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: Connor Williams got beat a couple of times. You know, 514 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: there's a miscommunication on the blitz that Zeke didn't pick up, 515 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: but some of that goes on Dak too. I mean, 516 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: he had throws where he held the ball for whatever reason, 517 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: he didn't feel comfortable letting it go. I'd say at 518 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: least one, if not more, of those sacks is just 519 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: as much on him as it is on his protection. 520 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: And that's I wonder if even going back to last year, 521 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: I mean bring up the Atlantic game for the millionth time, 522 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: is you know, if it's bad for him early, which 523 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: it was in Carolina, does that just affect him for 524 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the game where he maybe sees pressure 525 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: where there isn't any, or he feels pressure. That's he's 526 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: got more time than he thinks he does. And so 527 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: not only I mean they should be better against this front, 528 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: but they got to be better early. Again, I mean 529 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: going back to the early downs and you remember, you know, 530 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: every I think their first four series they had a 531 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: third and long, you know, like it's got to be cleaner, quicker, 532 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: and maybe that'll allow him to settle into a rhythm 533 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: because yet, like the pressure was definitely there last week, 534 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: but I think a lot of it was in his 535 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: head too, and he was just at a point where 536 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: he's like, I don't I don't have time to do 537 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: what I want to do back here. Assuming that it's 538 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: true that he was uncomfortable or was seeing things or 539 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: just not just felt the pressure more than it even was. 540 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: Do you think that that's a little bit concerning concerning 541 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: from the standpoint that when Dak first got here in 542 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: the first part of that rookie year, and really from 543 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: most of that rookie year, what do we always hear 544 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: about him? He was unflappable. This was a guy that 545 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,239 Speaker 1: just didn't like, you couldn't rattle him. He just he 546 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: always just kind of approached it and he just kind 547 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: of went out and did what he was supposed to do. 548 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: And here since that Atlanta game, there's been a number 549 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: of games I've heard people say, and on this show 550 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: being one of them, I've heard people say, he looked uncomfortable. 551 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: He didn't look like he really he looked like there 552 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: was more pressure than there was. He looked like he 553 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: was a little bit, you know, flustered. Does that concern 554 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: you that this is a different Dack than maybe what 555 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: we saw in that first year, and that maybe it's 556 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: now gotten into his head. Well, you know, the one 557 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: game where I thought he really did a nice job 558 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: was was the Giants, you know, on the road after 559 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: that Atlanta game, looked more comfortable. That was a game 560 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: that they I think he had was miked up and 561 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: you could kind of see a little bit more. It 562 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: took a while, though, to get going in that game Oakland. 563 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: They they had a nice start but then they had 564 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: to kind of hang on if Philly was not really anything. 565 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: But but we shouldn't won that Oakland game. I mean 566 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: that was a miracle play. I mean, yep, yeah, I 567 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: mean they were the better team that day. But but yeah, 568 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: they almost lost it. But um, yeah, you know, he 569 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: has not looked looked good since the Kansas City game, 570 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of reasons for that. But if 571 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: you're the word is unflappable, but if you are rattled, 572 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: like are you flapped or are you flappable? Like what's 573 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: I've never heard it used. I've never heard the inverse 574 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: of that word. Yeah, I've heard unflappable a million times. 575 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: But like man, Dak looked real flappable back there on 576 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: Sunday because he's he did. Yeah he doesn't. We're gonna 577 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: cooin it now. He doesn't look as he doesn't look 578 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: as cool or calm, and that his rookie year. And 579 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: I concern you though, Hell yeah, And yes, I mean, 580 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: how could it not. Uh, it's and to go back 581 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: to your point though, I mean you just gotta wait 582 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: and see, because I honestly why, like what do you 583 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: stand to gain by sitting him down like this? And 584 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to do that. I mean, best case 585 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: scenario this season is you're trying to get to the 586 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: playoffs and Dak's going to earn this big contract, but 587 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: also give me sixteen games so I know whether I 588 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: want to pay this guy next year, because like I 589 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: had this conversation with somebody the other day where they're like, well, 590 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: they're in bed with him now, like you know, they 591 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: chose him over Romo there it's da. I'm like, no, No, 592 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: he's a fourth round quarterback who's got you know, fifteen 593 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: games this year and then one season left on his deal. 594 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: Like fourth round picks get cut in training camp all 595 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: the time, Like, yeah, which bound to this guy at all? 596 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: If this season doesn't if it's if this season is terrible, 597 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: you can do whatever the hell you want. And what 598 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: you don't want to do is you don't want to 599 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: get to the end of this year. He's got a 600 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: one more year left on his deal and you have 601 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: no clue of who he is, right, Yeah, because then 602 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: you can't make a move for the year after you 603 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: have him. He's going to be the presumably he's going 604 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: to be the starter here for the next two years 605 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: at least, right And so if you don't know, if 606 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: you don't know what he is at the end of 607 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: this season, you don't know whether you need to go 608 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: and get that draft that young guy in the draft, 609 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: because if he has a horrible year, you're probably gonna 610 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: be drafting high enough to get a quarterback. So you 611 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: don't know if you even need to get that guy. 612 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: If you don't know what he is at the end 613 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: of this season. He needs to play and play a lot, 614 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: for better or for worse, so that you know exactly 615 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: what you're looking at when it's time to talk contract, 616 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: draft pick free agents. Teddy Bridgewater has only got he's 617 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: in a contract here. Yeah, I'm already, I mean quite frankly, 618 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: I still believe in Dak. I still believe Dak can 619 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: be a great quarterback for this team. I just at 620 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: this point I am concerned because I think it's been 621 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: a now he's creating a history of these kinds of 622 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: games or the rect that's the problem. I believe in 623 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: dak and I'm gonna need to see more before I don't. 624 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: But that's our job is to talk all these angles 625 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: out right.

Cowboys, Giants, Cowboys. Yeah, what do 684 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: you think there's the time to do that pick? We're 685 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: gonna do at the end of the show. We always 686 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: do picks at the end of the show. What do 687 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: we get? All right, So here's the next question for 688 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: you guys over under hundred yards? Zeke, Oh man, I'm 689 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: twenty under. I'm not even under that anymore. Yeah, well, 690 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: Nick went with Nick went for the fences, and we 691 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: wanted he was swinging hard too, like he went all 692 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: it was one of those check swings that barely got 693 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: back that does the catcher get it or does it? 694 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: And I was I was seriously just like pointing at 695 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: your point, like I'm I'm calling my shot. I don't know, 696 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: yefty eight yards. I think he's gonna play better. I 697 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,479 Speaker 1: think this team's gonna play better, but I don't know. 698 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: I think I'm leaning towards the Giants overall winning this game. 699 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: So therefore, you know, that's a big question. If they're 700 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: gonna win this game, it's probably under for Zeke. Yeah, Yeah, 701 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: if he goes over a hundred, did the likelihood I 702 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: would assume of them winning goes up significant? Yeah, I 703 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: think he's he's gonna be right there. I think I 704 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: they're not gonna starts as disastrously, which I think it 705 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: won't be easy. I bet Zeke might not even average 706 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: four yards a carry in this game, but they're gonna 707 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: be committed to him enough to where he'll be up 708 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: north of eighty, maybe not quite over one hundred, but 709 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,479 Speaker 1: in that neighborhood. And then factor in the factor in 710 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: the twenty or thirty receiving yards, and I bet he 711 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: goes over all purpose at least all right over under 712 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: on tank one and a half sacks unders going up 713 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: against Eric Flowers, I feel like anytime, which it's important, 714 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, and it's going to affect this game, 715 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: but like anytime it's like this obvious matchup, like oh, 716 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: Eric Flowers was terrible, Like it's never you know, nobody 717 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: ever has like five sacks and sintial accept except Adrian 718 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: Clayborne and no. I was thinking the time when Scandrick 719 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: was calling him out going John Wetzel's playing for them. Yeah, 720 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, Dlow, you better get like two or three. 721 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: He did have three three. And that's the thing, Like, 722 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: that's the one thing about Tank like he is that 723 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: dog mentality I talked about earlier this week. So when 724 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 1: it comes out to like if he sees that, to me, 725 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,479 Speaker 1: he's salivating, like, oh, I'm getting him, I say under 726 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 1: because Eli doesn't really allow for that. He doesn't. He'll 727 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: get sacks some, but I mean he's gonna get that. Well, 728 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 1: here's the deal. I went back and looked at the 729 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 1: games that Cowboys have played over the last three years, 730 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: had a significant number of secks. Like, they had a 731 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: game I think had two games where they had three sacks, 732 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: they had a couple, they had two. There was only 733 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: one where they didn't do He didn't get sacked at all. So, 734 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: even though I agree with you overall, he tends to 735 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: be a guy that doesn't get sacked a lot. Cowboys 736 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: have had relatively decent games as far as sacks are 737 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: concerned against the Giants here in the last three years. 738 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: I think if there's a multiple, say a guy with 739 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: multiple sacks in this game, it won't be him. I 740 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: think it'll be someone else. I'll help him too much. 741 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: I think Tyrone Crawford actually might have. I see a 742 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: bigger game for him. Four as a team, four as 743 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: a team, but I don't know it'd be a good day. 744 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: I'll be the best they've done in the last three 745 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: years against him. I don't know that Tank will get 746 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: north of one. I think, like Jalen or you know, 747 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: a linebacker is gonna have one and hopefully Randy gets one. 748 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: I went speaking, I went all in on Randy and 749 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: he didn't finish the game this week and get alf 750 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: come one one? Yeah, some four as a team, Yeah, 751 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: I like that. Who's the bigger concern for the Cowboys 752 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: or should be the bigger concern for the Cowboys Odell 753 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: Beckham Junior or se Quon Barkley Odelle is yeah. And 754 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: I say that because I don't think the tackling issues 755 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: are going to be as bad this week. I trust 756 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: Sean Lee. I trust them to clean that up. And 757 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: this team has traditionally done pretty well against the run. 758 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: A lot of that's because they have a lead, but 759 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: they're there, and I know last week was a bad 760 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: indicator of that, but they are typically good at tackling 761 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: and they have been good at limiting those just ridiculous 762 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: chunk plays. But Odell is another animal, entirely one. I 763 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: don't trust the back seven in terms of like having 764 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: seen them make those plays, um and on. And Odell's 765 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: just a crazy I mean, he's he's one of a kind. 766 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: And the thing that scares me is you don't even 767 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: have to throw it forty yards down field. That's he's 768 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: going to run an eight yard crossing route and if 769 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: you're not on your p's and q's, he's gonna take 770 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: it fifty yards. I think, I think, honestly, I'll change 771 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: the answer. I mean, I think the guy you worry 772 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: about the most is probably Barkley, because you know, he's 773 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: gonna get his hands on the ball a little bit more. 774 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: And if he's going for five for six, for nine, 775 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: if he's if he has a steady game, that'll force 776 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys to play away that they don't really want 777 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: to play. And that's where Odell Wilbur, you know, hurt him. 778 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: I think Odell can hurt them more, but I think 779 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: you have to kind of you know, he's never had 780 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,240 Speaker 1: a running back like this. I'm still mad at Cleveland 781 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: for doing this, because for not taking Barkley, because as 782 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: soon as they didn't. I've thought, man, that is a 783 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,240 Speaker 1: that is a dynamic pair right there that you're putting 784 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: for the Giants. And Eli, you know, he's he might 785 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: be older, but he can still you know, get the 786 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: guy to his weapons. I just think this Giants off 787 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: offensive line is not gonna bully the front, the Cowboys front, 788 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: and so it's gonna be on Barkley again to have 789 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: those type of crazy all season. That's gonna be a season. 790 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: Well but and again, I know they tackle poorly in Carolina, 791 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 1: but I trust the Cowboys to tackle well enough to 792 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 1: keep that from happening. Like they can limit him to 793 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: five and six yards instead of sixty eight Odell, so 794 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: that Odell doesn't need the offensive line. I mean, Eli 795 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: needs to have time. But again, he can take bubble screens, 796 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: he can take slants. He can't they're away to be perfect. 797 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: He just needs ways to get him the ball quickly 798 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 1: without bringing the cow at the Giants offensive line into it. 799 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 1: And that's what scares me. Here's the part that really 800 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,399 Speaker 1: concerns me. I feel pretty good about O'Dell on the outside. 801 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: I really want to see how Barron Jones matches up, 802 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: how Cheeto batches up they're both gonna probably get opportunities 803 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: to match up against him. How about Anthony Brown, That's 804 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: where I'm concerned. It's what happens when he goes into 805 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: the slot and now he's having to face Anthony Brown. 806 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: And what we've seen from Anthony Brown has been highly 807 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: inconsistent in my opinion, particularly in the preseason, even if 808 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 1: you go back to last season, and so I'm alluded. 809 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: I'm very concerned about what happens when he gets into 810 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,760 Speaker 1: the slot and he's now matched up on Anthony Brown. 811 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: Can he be the one that that actually can can 812 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: keep him contained? Or is that a situation with Cowboys? 813 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: Better be smart and make sure he's always got help 814 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: when they're in that situation, because otherwise that could be 815 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: your problem. Yep, right, all right, So let's let's go 816 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 1: to the next question. Is this must win for the Cowboys? Yes? Why? 817 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: Because well, I mean, the numbers are out there, the 818 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 1: stats are out there, Like eighteen percent of teams I 819 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: think we talked about this are eighteen percent of teams 820 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 1: that go owen to make the playoffs. Not only are 821 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,919 Speaker 1: you owin too, but you're already in a division hole 822 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: and one of your division opponents would now have a 823 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: win up on you. Philly plays the Bucks this weekend. 824 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: I bet they win that, So there are two games 825 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: up on you already on top of that. In recent history, 826 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: teams that dig out of that hole, like the Saints 827 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 1: last year. I mean, you're talking about dynamic teams, Hall 828 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback rookie that you're running back. If this 829 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: team loses to the Giants at home, it's a further 830 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: indictment that they don't have the offense we thought they 831 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: did that Dak and the receivers can't get the job 832 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: done well enough to compliment Zeke, and I just don't 833 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: know that this is a team that has what it 834 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,959 Speaker 1: takes to dig out of that hole, because you're gonna, 835 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna need Dak to play at like 836 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 1: an all pro level to do that, to go on 837 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: that type of run where you're winning seven eight games 838 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: in a row. And if they can't win this game, 839 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: then they're probably not that type of team, all right, Nick, 840 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's true. I mean I agree with that. 841 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't you know, you can you can 842 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: argue all day if you want to be that type 843 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: of guy that just argues that it's not must win 844 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: because of course you can go fourteen and two if 845 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,839 Speaker 1: you don't win. We know that everybody Theoretically, what Dave 846 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: just said, it makes sense if you don't beat the 847 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,439 Speaker 1: Giants at home, who are you beating? Like, who really 848 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: are you going to be? And the Giants might be a, 849 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, a better team. We knew they were better 850 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: than they were last year and if they added a 851 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: dynamic player with a number two pick, they were going 852 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: to be so they'll make a big jump. But still, 853 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: if you don't beat the Giants, then you know who 854 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: who are you gonna beat to be a playoff team? 855 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: To beat be a playoff team, Yeah, I think I 856 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 1: think you got to win this game. I was going 857 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 1: to save this for my pick, but I mean, it 858 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: ain't getting easier. I mean, I know the Lions looked 859 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 1: bad on Monday Night Football, but they still have a 860 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: very good quarterback in Matt Stafford. In my opinion, you're 861 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: going on the road to Seattle to play an NFL 862 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: MVP candidate next week. They got Earl Thomas back. It 863 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: looks like he makes a bit of a difference. He 864 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: got a pick on like his third play of the season, 865 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 1: and then you got two of the most loaded teams 866 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 1: in the entire league back to back in Houston and Jacksonville. 867 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: Like that's the part. It's it's those two games because 868 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: even if you even if you give them these next 869 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,760 Speaker 1: two games and they can get back to five hundred, 870 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 1: then they got to play those two teams and that's it. 871 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: And that's why it's a must win game because again, 872 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 1: I mean, anything can happen. I guess, like maybe they'll 873 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: just catch fire. I don't think anybody in twenty fourteen 874 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: expected them to win six games in a row. But again, 875 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: what did you have there? You had and the eventual 876 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: NFL Offensive Player of the Year and a guy in 877 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: Tony Romo who probably played the best season of his 878 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 1: entire career that year and was at least a candidate 879 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: for NFL MVP. I don't think he even came close 880 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: to winning it, but he was in the conversation. So 881 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,439 Speaker 1: if you're going to bounce back from an O two hole, 882 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: that's the type of play that you need. And I mean, 883 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: how could you have confidence that you're going to get 884 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: that if they can't beat the Giants at home. Yeah, 885 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 1: whether it's a whether it's a game that's a must 886 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: win or not. The factor matter is the reason why 887 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: that stat stands up because most of the times when 888 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: teams go into they're not very good. Yeah, that may 889 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: be the bigger in diatmone. If the Cowboys go into 890 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: what we may be looking at is just the fact 891 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: that they're just not that good. And so that's the 892 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: part that can can really be troublesome in a year. 893 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 1: We had much higher expectations than that for this team. 894 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: All right, so let's get to the final part. Let's 895 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,840 Speaker 1: get some picks for this game. Since Nick has already 896 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: intimated is I'm going to start with Dave. Dave, what's 897 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 1: your pick for the game? I Am actually going to 898 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: pick them to win. And the main reason I'm doing 899 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 1: that is just like kind of to piggyback off what 900 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: you said, Like I still think that they're a pretty 901 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,959 Speaker 1: good team. Like there's too many there's too many good 902 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: pieces here for me to think that they're as bad 903 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: as they looked on Sunday. Again, I've seen Dak play 904 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: better than that as last year. Not you don't even 905 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: have to go back to twenty sixteen. Zeke is still Zeke. 906 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: This pass rush has a fantastic opportunity to wreck this 907 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: game against the Giants offensive line. We've seen the Cowboys 908 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 1: limit Odell Beckham before, and it's at home. It's in primetime, 909 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: which if there's ever a time when At and T 910 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: Stadium is actually a great home field advantage, it's usually 911 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 1: a game like this. You don't see like the Giants 912 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 1: takeover At and T the way that some other fan 913 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: bases do. And it's a night game. So I just 914 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,240 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of factors working in their favor. 915 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be like I mean, it's 916 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: not gonna be pretty. Probably it's gonna be a nail 917 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:50,320 Speaker 1: biter as Cowboys Giants typic is. Yeah, But I'm basically again, 918 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: I just it's mainly just me choosing to believe that 919 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: they're not that bad. Like I don't have this statistical 920 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: reasoning for it, but there's enough working for him that 921 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 1: I'm just like, all right, I'm gonna give you a 922 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: mulligan because I don't think you're as bad as you 923 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: looked on Sunday. Nick, I'm going to go with the Giants. 924 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: I think the Giants will win. I'm gonna go seventeen 925 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: to sixteen. It'll be a close one, and I you know, 926 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: I definitely have seen the Cowboys bounce back a lot 927 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: Week two. This is a bounce back type of game 928 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: for them. But I just I still see them having 929 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: some issues on offense, and I think that that Eli 930 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: will make some plays there just enough, and I think 931 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: it'll be a tough one. I think they'll lose it, 932 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: all right. I'm gonna say seventeen sixteen. All right. I 933 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys will win, and I think it'll be 934 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: very close. I think it'll be a field goal festival. 935 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be nineteen sixteen, way more field 936 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: goals and touchdowns. I think we come out of this 937 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: game feeling really good about mar and he has a 938 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: start to Dan Bailey, had you missed your first kick 939 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: and then you're going to run and he's going to 940 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: turn into a really really nice kick. Did I turn 941 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: into the did I turn into the Sunshine Pumper on 942 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 1: this show? Somewhere along the line, that's trouble And now 943 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: purposefully you're about to flip that right now, I'll tell 944 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: you this spoiler alert. If they can't beat the Giants, 945 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 1: I don't see myself picking them for a while with 946 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,319 Speaker 1: the teams they have coming up. Although I will say this, 947 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 1: I'm not it's just me personally. I'm not as concerned 948 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: as I was when the schedule came out about the 949 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: about the Saints game. Man, I'm sorry about the Seattle game. 950 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: I think Seattle's not I don't think Seattle's gonna be 951 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: as good as people think they are. And they've just 952 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: lost their main receiver. Now they got Brandon Marshall, but 953 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: he's what seventy five like. I mean, I just think 954 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: that when you when you look at Seattle, they're gonna 955 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: have some of the same problems with Cowboys are having. 956 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: They're gonna have a hard time offensively, being able to 957 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: move the ball. I think they're gonna be pretty good defensively, 958 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: getting ahead of ourselves. I know, I know, But I'm 959 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: just saying though, there still is some room even if 960 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: they lose this game. My problem is beginning of October, 961 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 1: that's when you start your murderous row and I don't 962 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,320 Speaker 1: feel very good about any of those if you're losing 963 00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 1: this game to the Giants at home. All right, guys, 964 00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: appreciate you joining us with back Monday. We will let 965 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: you know what went right and what went wrong for 966 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys.
