It's about it man. 27 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: Well it's been a while since we had a football game. 28 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: So whatever you guys can piece together, we'll start the 29 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: show off like we normally do. Well, everybody will go around. 30 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: We'll start with you, Nate. Tonight, we'll give us a 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: minute on your thoughts on the last game we played. 32 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about it, but really we're 33 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: two days away from uh big game Cowboy Saints, so 34 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: we'll mainly talk about that tonight. But let's let's get 35 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: it started. To get a minute what you think about 36 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: the last game we saw? Hey, you know, the Cowboys 37 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: at a tremendous job defense, play well, run game, Amori. 38 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: Everything went well. But I think this week coming up 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: is the most important game of the year. I think 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: they have to play hard, play smart, make sure they 41 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: play assignment football, execute and always be aware of down 42 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: in distance. Look at your films played it down in 43 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: distance and cover your man all over the field. Oh wow, wow, 44 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: twenty seven seconds, so you can go for a minute 45 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: and a half if you want to Amber, go ahead. Wow. 46 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: You know. I'm very I'm excited. I'm excited of what 47 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: we've seen this past three games of what the Cowboys 48 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: have been able to do so far, the offensive line 49 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 1: starting to click, the things that Dak is being able 50 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: to do with the help of Amari Cooper. One of 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: the things that does concern and again, and the defense 52 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: has been playing exciting, wonderful. I love it. It's exciting 53 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: to watch them play that. But one of the things 54 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: that kind of concerns me a little bit. And let's 55 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: hope this does not happen injury wise. No, let's not 56 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: talk about the kicker right now. I'll leave that up 57 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: to someone else. But I'm not a fan of when 58 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: you are relying on one specific person, and by that 59 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean Ezekiel Elliott. Yes, he's great, us him all 60 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: you want. He's what is making your offense move And 61 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: as of right now, you don't really have many options 62 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: that you have to go with what you can at 63 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: this point of the season. But hopefully no injuries. But 64 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: if something was to happen. What happens, then you're screwed. 65 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: Without one player, you're screwed. And those are That's something 66 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: that does worry me in the future. All Right, Rob, 67 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: what you got? I think the Washington game was an 68 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: example of the Cowboys talent taken over star players making 69 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: big performances. You got big performances out of Zeke Amari Cooper, 70 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, and Dak as well. You know, I think 71 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: I think the Cooper trade has helped him out so much. 72 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna take in this game. And when 73 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: you think about the challenges of this Saints offense, it's 74 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: it's really a statement opportunity for this Dallas defense. And 75 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence's comments he's fired up for this game. I 76 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: think they have something to prove in this game and 77 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: they are statistically the third best defense the Saints will 78 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: face all year. Will it be good enough? I think 79 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: it's gonna come down. Can they take the ball away 80 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: like they did last week? Can they get a few 81 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: a couple extra possessions for the Cowboys offense. That's probably 82 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: what it's gonna take because the Saints are gonna make 83 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: their share plays. They just will Brown us what you got, 84 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: you know what. But I like what everybody said here 85 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: at the table, and I appreciate the opportunity to go last. 86 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: I think we saw a little bit of with this 87 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: offensive line that something you might see in this game 88 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: this week. I'm worried about Tyrant Smith's availability. Yes, and 89 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: now you're going into a game with likely with Cam 90 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: Fleming as you're starting left tackle with next to Sue Philo, 91 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: So that's two backups on the on that left side 92 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: of the offensive line. I think Cam Fleming played well enough, 93 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: but again, Cameron Jordan for the Saints will be a 94 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: challenge for him to have to deal with. I'm I'm 95 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: worried about that. I would love to be able to say, Okay, 96 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: I can keep that blind side of Dak Prescott. I 97 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: could keep him up right. I think the Cowboys in 98 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: the second half of that game did a really nice 99 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: job in protection. Four sacks the first half, no sacks 100 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: the second half. So the concern I have going into 101 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: this game is that New Orleans will take advantage of 102 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: Cam Fleming and can Cam Fleming put two games together 103 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: back to back if in fact he has to play, 104 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: You know, Tyren Smith, no practice this week, we'll see 105 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: if he's healthy enough to go. But I have some 106 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: concern about that spot. I'm so glad you brought it up. 107 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: And add Sheldon Rankins. Yeah, ye, that side running games, 108 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: running running games. But we've been here before. If Fleming 109 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: is struggling, we do not have to wait. It's called chill. 110 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: It's called running the tight end across the formation. It's 111 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: called sitting a tight end. On that side. We can 112 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: slow down his progress, get a little bit against Washington progress. 113 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: Now what you do now you bump Zeke on him. 114 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: Let Zeke go out to the flat. You know, it's 115 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: it's too many ways out of sixty something plays. You know, 116 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: he may have to fight thirty of those plays by himself. 117 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: But formation should help him. Um, bumping and grinding should 118 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: since they grinding, but bumping should have happened. Yeah, you know, 119 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: and running somebody across his face. Put a tight end 120 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: and run somebody because because it ain't no doubt in 121 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: my mind, it is a challenge. That's that's so it 122 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: don't matter. Yeah, the put put rico. He's bigger than slower, 123 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: So let him slow go across and drag across the field. Yeah, 124 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: that's all great points. Well, I just the thing that 125 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: Cowboys have been just doing such a great job offensively 126 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: converting third downs, you know, I mean remember earlier seen 127 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: some of these early shows that we had, you know, 128 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: twenty three percent, twenty six percent, yeah, last three exactly exactly, 129 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: you know, And I think that in this game you're 130 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to be able to convert third downs. I 131 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: think you're gonna have to be able to keep the ball. Now, 132 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: keeping the ball means also scoring also, I mean there 133 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: could they could have the ball forty four minutes in 134 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: this game and not score enough points. Yes, that's the 135 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: problem that you run into. But so anything that hurts 136 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: their ability to keep doing what they're doing. And that's 137 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: where if I'm a Cowboy fan, I'm a little bit 138 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,119 Speaker 1: concerned about that spot because I love what Amory Cooper's done, 139 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: I love what Dak Prescott's done. Amber's absolutely right, though 140 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm fearful of what could happen if nothing you have Zeke. 141 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: But Zeke looks like, you know, he's kind of got 142 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: himself back going again. So that's what I'm encouraged by 143 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: by that. The other thing, to y'all's point, is finishing 144 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: those drives. They had two drives I think the last 145 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: couple games inside the five yard line, and they settle 146 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: for field goals. You can't do it against an offense 147 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: this good, well, you just can't set I mean, Brett 148 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: Maher love you, but if he goes five for five 149 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: in this game, that's not gonna be good for the Cowboys. 150 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: I think it was eight in the last two things. 151 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: Eight down there, eight attempts down there and you've only 152 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: got half. You did four and you know you can't. 153 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: You're absolutely right this this you know. But I'll tell 154 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: you what the I started with the Saints defensively because 155 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: I don't think they get enough credit defensively because their 156 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: offense is so good. You know, their offense takes you 157 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: out of there. You know you're it hurts your offense 158 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: because you're now become one dimensional having to try and 159 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: catch up because of the points, the way they're able 160 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: to generate points. All of a sudden, running Zeke doesn't 161 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: make sense. Throwing the ball to Zeke now makes sense 162 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: because you need big plays. And what I was sending 163 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: Shannon on a show, by the way, is hanging with 164 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: the Boys as award winning uh. When I was sending 165 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: Shandon on and I echo what you say. But on 166 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: on the other side, I may I got y Kurt 167 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: go through, go through the offensive line. Yeah, they went 168 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: out and got guys who who veteran guys. He's only 169 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: he's a versus the only new guy. Right, they have 170 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: an offensive line. Man, You see some of the holes 171 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: that these guys, these two guys run through is tremendous. 172 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: You see how many times Breeze has been sacked in 173 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: eleven games? Yeah, eleven times, So you know he was 174 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: in the league. I think, miss, miss Hamburg, what are 175 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: you feeling right now? Talk to us? Well, you know, 176 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: going back to the old line and those concerns there. 177 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: Another thing that is concerning to me is what happens 178 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: when Dak starts getting sacked. But his confidence, that is 179 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: one of the things we've seen him improve on this 180 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: past few games. It's his confidence level and being feeling 181 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: secure of being behind those guys and that front right there. 182 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: And now when he starts doubting him sad if we 183 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: saw it when it happened in Atlanta last year, and 184 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: what happened since that moment on when he keeps getting 185 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: sacked in pressure, his confidence starts disappearing, then God really 186 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: really affects the rest of the game. He gets frustrated, 187 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: clearly gets frustrated. But but you know what, young lady 188 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: and Broadest, if that happens this game, that's on that. Yeah, 189 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: it comes a maturation point where okay, I gotta help 190 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: my offensive line. Yeah, I understand. First year, second year, 191 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: it's your third year. You've been seeing that done that. 192 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: You got legs. Don't what I see him doing wrong 193 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: a lot, broad Est, and you can correct me. Is 194 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: everything that you fill in the middle ain't always pressure. 195 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: Sometimes if you're gonna take the time to look at 196 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: the rush, understand where it's coming from, and move around 197 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: within the pocket, don't spin out you're spinning into defensive ends. 198 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: You gotta have that knack for that. He don't have 199 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: that knack. He's spends out. The next thing you know, 200 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: he's on his back. Feel your rush. You should have 201 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: that in you right now, the ability to feel your rush. 202 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: Your confidence should be enough of Okay, I feel this, 203 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: I know where it's coming from. Because you can't keep 204 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: doing that because if you a lot of people get 205 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: hit early, but the game don't end because you get 206 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: hit early. Let me, ask y'all this, So, for what 207 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: were four games removed from major changes they made with 208 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: the offensive line coach brought into Mauri Cooper. Two moves right? 209 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: Two moves well, actually three if you want to count 210 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: the injury move that they had to make for Connor Woods. Right, 211 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: So three major moves. Right. This is a totally not 212 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: only looks like and playing like, a totally different team. 213 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: The vibe around here, that the atmosphere, that the attitude 214 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: we're all in the building, everything's different. This is a 215 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: team with momentum. This is a team that's proven they 216 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: can stream two three wins together. Everything's different. You guys 217 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: brought you tell me what you see on tape, and 218 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: you guys tell me what you're seeing in Are those three? 219 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: I mean, those are pretty big moves, But are those 220 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: Is there one that's more? I keep asking this question, 221 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 1: hoping I get a different answer, but it seems to 222 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: be this. They're all kind of connected, right. Is there 223 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: one there's the one that's made them this much better? 224 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: Or is it the combination of all three that's just 225 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: making it click now to where it looks completely different. 226 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: I think it's I think personally it's the change or 227 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: the offensive line coach. I think the attitude in that 228 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: room is completely different. I think that you look at 229 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: some of the things that last week, do you feel like, Okay, 230 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: you give up four sacks in the first half, and 231 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: you're feeling like going to the second half. I know 232 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: Nate and I are sitting there at the Star, you know, 233 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: talking getting ready for the second half the game, and 234 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: Nates like, we can't give up four more sacks and 235 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: the second half, and so what happened? You give up 236 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: no sacks? Okay? Obviously what happened there? Did Mark Colombo 237 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: step in say okay, hey, this is what we have 238 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: to do scheme wise differently, this is how okay you 239 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: talk about bump pass, do whatever you have to do. 240 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: One on one. Somebody made a choice not to allow 241 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott to be sacked in the second half, or 242 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: not a choice, but somebody made an adjustment. General, your 243 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: offensive line coach goes to the O C and says, hey, listen, 244 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: if you're gonna call this play, I've got a block 245 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: it this way and that way. You have the ability 246 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: that communication. So where this team before maybe not would 247 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: not make that type of adjustment. I think Mark Colombo 248 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: saw what was happening in the first half and was 249 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: able to convey that to Scott Linahan did allow him 250 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: to call the plays that he did in the second half. 251 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: I can't argue with that because I'm sitting across the 252 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: table from a you know, three time champ who played 253 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: in six Pro Bowls. Everything starts up front, and that's 254 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: been the way this team has been built is through 255 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: their offensive line. So I can't argue with what Brian said. 256 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: But like you said, Shannon, everything's connected, and what Amari 257 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: Cooper has done for this offense is really incredible how 258 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: quickly he's adjusted and been part of this thing. He 259 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: just he's always open. I mean, he is such a 260 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: technician with his routes. He's so gifted as a player. 261 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: The one thing missing from his game so far since 262 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: he's been here is those big plays, and he got 263 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: two of them, just broke the game wide open the 264 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: other day. He's been one of the best run after 265 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: catch guys in the league before he got here. Now 266 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: we're seeing that. It really does create kind of a 267 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: picker poison thing with Zeke to where it takes a 268 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: little bit pressure off him because Amber, You're right, I mean, 269 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: it can't just all be about him. Yeah, Amari has 270 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: helped in that regard, but I think it does start 271 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: with the mentality of the offensive line and protecting Dac better. 272 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: There's no question he's been protected better the last few games. 273 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: Going back to your point brought us. You said they 274 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: made adjustments at halftime. It's something that they didn't do 275 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: last year in Atlanta and it caused you know, it 276 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: ruined arguably one player and then argue, yeah, minor ruined 277 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: your you know, set your quarterback a little bit too. 278 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: Is Colombo that big of a presence where he was 279 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: able to go do something that you weren't able to 280 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: do last year? Or is if they realize what happened 281 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: last year and they're more willing to make adjustments on 282 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: the fly, and think, yeah, I think they're more willing. 283 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: I think Colombo has a better voice. I don't think 284 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: Paul Alexander's voice and this is gonna sound terrible, but 285 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: I don't think his voice for adjustment got made Scott 286 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: in a hand feel any different, you know, And that's 287 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: bad to say, but seem like he wasn't well respected 288 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: by the guys, the players, and that's a big thing like, 289 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: if you want to be a coach, and coach right, 290 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: you have to have the respect of the people that 291 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: you're coaching. Otherwise it just doesn't work right. And to me, like, 292 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: if Connor's injury had happened before that coaching change, Yeah, 293 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: and I love Xavier Soilphila, but if that had happened, 294 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: then yeah, I really don't think Xavier would be playing 295 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: the way that he's playing right now. Yeah, I think 296 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: she's absolutely right. I mean, Nate will tell you he 297 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: played for a couple of guys. He played for Tony Wise, 298 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: and then he played for Hudson Howe, and it took 299 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: some time, you know, like Tony Wise and I'm I 300 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: hope I'm not speaking at a turner. Tony Wise taught 301 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: these guys a technique and a way to play, and 302 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: then Hudson Howe came in credentials out there, you know what, 303 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: and said, okay, we'll try it this way. But what 304 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: did Hudson Howe do? He came back and told Nate 305 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: and him, no, wait a minute, We're gonna play the 306 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: way you learn how to play. And I think that 307 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: and I hope I'm not speaking out of tournay, but 308 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: I know you not have had this discussion before about that. 309 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: You know, and see this is what a lot of 310 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: people understand. The simple adjustment could have been nothing, nothing 311 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: to do with scheme. Simple adjustment could have been, hey, man, 312 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: go back to your set. Yeah, sometime you get out 313 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: of whack because you're playing against a player that can dance, 314 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: especially a left tackle and a left guard. They're playing 315 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: against sometime the best, the better athletes at that position, 316 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: and the coaches tell you, okay, what are you doing it? 317 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: Your sets firm? Are you setting on this guy like 318 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: we practice? And sometimes you'll be just as simple as that, 319 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: And then the coaches tell you give better effort, give 320 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: better effort. Because one and that's what to Xavier, that 321 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: that was his problem. Coming from Houston, he hears something 322 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: bad and it multiplies here here here in Dallas. He 323 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: hears okay, bad play set stronger, give better effort, and 324 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: you should be okay. But now, as a coach, if 325 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: you don't see that happening, you got to go to 326 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: the next step. And now we're talking about scheme. Now 327 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: we're talking about how can we give him some help. 328 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: Did you were you ever a part of a team 329 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: where you had a coach that, whether whether it was 330 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: your coach or just a coach on the staff, that 331 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: that things just weren't jiving and did it just throw 332 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: the whole unit kind of out of whack? Can you 333 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: take of a time? Coach Landry, I'm gonna let it happen, 334 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: and uh, Coach Johnson, I'm gonna let it happen. See 335 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: the head coaches, your general, you know he oversees everything, 336 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: and believe it or not, Coach Landry was our offense 337 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: and defensive coordinator. Jimmy was just a straight general. But 338 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: they didn't allow for you to just continue to make 339 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: the same mistakes over and over. Yeah, and you Rob, 340 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: you mentioned Cooper and his route running ability. You keep 341 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: hearing that he's a great route runner. He's a great 342 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: route runner. He's he's the best route runner that's been 343 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: on this team in recent memory. What is it about 344 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: him that makes for the person that hears that but 345 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: maybe doesn't understand the intricacies of the game. What any 346 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: of y'all jump in here, What does that mean? And 347 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: how do that because he's quicker? Is that because he's 348 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: able to cut sharper with elite skills and a mental 349 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: mental capability to execute. I mean, now, yeah, that's it. Brother. 350 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: You can't understand that right then, and you you know 351 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: you can't even survive into business well a film. Yeah, 352 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: I have an example on on the film that I saw. 353 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: This guy has the ability and most route runners, you know, 354 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: will will run at you and then settle their weight. 355 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: And this is where defensive backs when they evaluate you 356 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: when they're coming at when the receiver's coming, they'll look, 357 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: they'll look, Okay, he's settling. I've got to go. Is 358 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: that where you kind of see him? Will you see 359 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: him drop down, drop their drop their weight. The thing 360 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: that a Murray Cooper does that I've never seen a 361 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: receiver do is that he has the ability to run 362 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: full speed, but he opens his body up. He opens 363 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: himself up to the side he's gonna make his cut. 364 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: So what happened Instead of settling his weight and giving 365 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: an indicator that he's going to settle and break, he 366 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: runs at you, and just as he's running, he's able 367 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: to open and the plan off his either's inside foot 368 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: or his outside foot to get outside. That's what he 369 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: was able to do against Josh Norman a couple of 370 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: different times. Josh Norman had no beat on how to 371 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: play him because he went at Norman and Norman's usually 372 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: a drive on you by reading you, and Cooper wouldn't 373 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: let him do that. And that's where I think that 374 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: you run and you could be able to turn your 375 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: body a little bit and once you open up, then 376 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: you plant and go. And that's something that I haven't seen. 377 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: And I've been around some great wide receivers in my day, 378 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: but this guy right here with you talking about route 379 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: running and the ability to get in and out of 380 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: cuts the way he does without giving it away. That's 381 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: why you see the separation. I asked Key Lenahan about that, 382 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: and I think his answer was pretty much just what 383 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: you said. He said, there's like this little extra twitch 384 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: to his game that allows him to get an extra 385 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: yard or two of separation. And then once he gets 386 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: the ball. If you guys have seen him in person, 387 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: big wide receiver nor South, it kind of in this regard, 388 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: he reminds me of Daz. Once he has the ball 389 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: in his hands, he's coming at you. He's tough to 390 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: bring down. He's physical. On top of the other skills 391 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: that we talked about, this is one thing brought us 392 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: and you're probably noticing on film is some of his routes. 393 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: He can come off from the line without making contact. Yeah, 394 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: some receivers like Dad, he enjoyed I gotta I gotta fight. 395 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: Which is this guy him? He can just check out 396 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: and run. He ain't gonna put a hand on you. 397 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: That will mess a dB up because now what brought 398 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: you put in? What Brod is talking about? You sitting 399 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: on a seven yard cushion. Yeah, this dude coming at you. 400 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: You getting ridy to engage him. He give you an 401 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: out move and you go to reach out and he 402 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: don't bat your hands. He just run his route. How 403 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: you recover? Yeah. Aside from all of his abilities as 404 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: a receiver, one of the things that to me I 405 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: really liked hearing and that I was caught me off 406 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: guard is after that ninety yard touchdown when he ran 407 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: after the game that he talked about it. He said, 408 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: I like the way I was running, Like I need 409 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: to run better basically, And to me, that's like wow. 410 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: You know, instead of standing there and saying yeah, I 411 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: did good or whatever you're thinking, yeah, patting yourself in 412 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: the bag, you still still you're still analyzing and pointing 413 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: out the things that you need to improve. To me 414 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: and to most people watching men, he just ran amazing, 415 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: but to him just having that mentality of you know, 416 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: I keep I need to keep working on my technique 417 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: and get better. I love that from a player. He's 418 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: a very serious minded guy who Derek eagleson. You know, 419 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: I tell people when when you when you can when 420 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 1: Broddess is coming at me slowly and I don't know 421 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 1: how to and I don't know how to play, and 422 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how to play him. Yeah, and I'm 423 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: getting ready, you know, but I'm trying to read through 424 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: it because Josh I like to read through the player 425 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: to the quarterback out. So I'm already got something in 426 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: mine and you just run rat past me. You don't 427 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: engage me.

Now I gotta go 430 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: off straight. That's hard to do. This is a white 431 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: guy is so good with double moves. Yeah, because he 432 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: gets you, Like Nate says, to lean and once you lean, 433 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: it's by you. Yeah, you know that kind of thing. 434 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break when we come back let's 435 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: talk some more Marie Cooper, because I know that your 436 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: favorite guy right now, and we'll get you to ask 437 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: some questions.

Oh, we're over there. 496 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: We're looking good. We've got Nate out there with the wireless. 497 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: He's gonna get some questions from the fans here in 498 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: a minute. Right now, the let's let's talk a little. 499 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: What do you think? What do you guys think the 500 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys need to do? Let's go offensively first to win 501 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: the game Thursday. We know they've got to slow Drew 502 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: Brees down on defense. We'll get into that in a minute, 503 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: but offensively, anybody jump in here. What do you what 504 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: do you think the Keys wanted? Well, yeah, score more 505 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: than the Saints to win obviously, but what are one 506 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: or two key things that you guys think they have 507 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: to take care of an offense to to pull this 508 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: thing out? You know, I think that you know we 509 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: talk about, you can't just be in that mode. We're saying, Okay, 510 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna try and run this thing and keep the 511 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: ball away from Drew Brees. I just don't think that 512 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: they can. I don't think that they can do that. 513 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: I think they have to find a way to be um. 514 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna have to attack the Saints, I 515 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: really do. I don't think it's just gonna say, Okay, 516 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: let's just sit there and try and grind this thing 517 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: out and keep the score down and all that, because, 518 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: like Rob says, you get inside there, you eight times 519 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: and you only score four touchdowns. You know, there's no 520 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: guarantee of that. I think they're gonna have to stay 521 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: aggressive in this game. I think they're gonna have to 522 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: if they could slam some runs, stay ahead of the change, 523 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: which is something that's always part of the teams. But now, 524 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: what's the thing is if you do run the ball 525 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: and you don't have success, at least you do have 526 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: a guy like a Maury Cooper, and then you do 527 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: have a Cole Beasley that on third down, you have 528 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: to teams are have not yet doubled a Maury Cooper 529 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: in these games. I'll be really interested to see if 530 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: the if the if the Saints. The Saints have to 531 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: feel good enough that they could say, okay, Eli Apple, 532 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: who they got from the Giants, and then and then Lattimore, 533 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: the corner that they drafted two years ago. They probably 534 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: have to feel like we could cover these guys and 535 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: just we'll focus on the run. But you know that 536 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: that's gonna be. That's a little bit easier said and done, 537 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: especially with the way that Cooper's been playing. So I 538 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: think Dallas has to stay aggressive in this game. I don't. 539 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: I don't if it's so not use that same tactic 540 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: tactic that they use where you're just eating up time. Yeah, 541 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: the cloud. There's nothing wrong with this. There's nothing wrong 542 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: with the twelve play, eighty five yard drive for seven eighteen. 543 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: Just make sure that it ends with a touchdown. However 544 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: you however you do it, score yeah, because score six, 545 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: not three. Score six, Because Jason Garrett was actually asked 546 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: that question this week and he said, look, of course, 547 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: we would like to keep their playmakers off the field, 548 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: but we've got to be able to score points, however 549 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 1: long it takes us to do it. And they'll take 550 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: a ninety yard and a forty yard touchdown every Mariti 551 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: Cooper all day, every Yeah, it gives them the ball back. 552 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: But they've got to be able to score points because 553 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: at some point the Saints will get something going offensively. 554 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: And I think I think one of the big things 555 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: you guys, tell me what you think. I think you've 556 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: got to convert third downs and you got to keep 557 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: drives alive because to me, if this defensive line gets 558 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: tired and they don't get pressure on Breeze and they 559 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: can't get to the quarterback, he's gonna sit back there 560 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,239 Speaker 1: all day long and just well, we've been we've been 561 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: a part of games where we all went to New 562 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: Orleans that one year it felt like they had thirty 563 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: eight first downs a game that was played on the 564 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: Sunday night and it was just awful, and halftime we 565 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: were like, let's just get on the bus. Yeah, let's 566 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: just get on the bus. We can write our stories 567 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: from the bus, you know, that kind of thing. And 568 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: I think that's truly what you want to avoid. I 569 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys defensively, though, you know, they could be 570 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: up for the task, the biggest problem I see with 571 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: and if we flip it around on the on the 572 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: defensive side, is don't fall for the eye candy, you know, 573 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: don't fall for all the fakes and don't fall for 574 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: all the motion, and don't fall for a different quarterback 575 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: coming in and Drew Brees. You know, this game is 576 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: going to be defensively about being smart. This is gonna 577 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: be about because if you don't play your assignment and 578 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: you don't take your man. Like Nate was talking about earlier, 579 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: this team will wear you out. And they have so 580 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: many weapons like guid go down the list of names. 581 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: That's like who do you who do you watch? How 582 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: about how about another game when we went to New 583 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: Orleans and and Brandon Whedon was a quarterback and he 584 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: brings them back and it's over time, and what happens 585 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: they get they get Damian Wilson on the field late 586 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: and I'll throw something. They throw the wheel route. He's 587 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: the only guy not covered on the wheel and that 588 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: what happens. That's that's the ball game right there. People 589 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: identify who your where your problems are. And that's that's 590 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: where I think that he has to take advantage of 591 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: the guy. It's like, you know, how are you gonna 592 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: play tomorrow? That's gonna be another thing too, Nate. You 593 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: got some questions? Oh yes, man, yes, sir, I got 594 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: uh Dustin from prosper great and this is potting of 595 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: Greg from Cincinnat. He called his son Austin to get 596 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: a question with Dustin. First skyline chili from man. So Nate, 597 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: what is the number one thing the Cowboys have to 598 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: do to be the Saints panel. What is the number 599 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: one thing? No, no, no no. I told him he's 600 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: come and talk to the panel, but he felt comfortable 601 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: talking to Nate. So I'm relaying it to y'all. I'll 602 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: tell you what. Let's do this. Everybody go around, pick 603 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: one thing that you think is the most important thing 604 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: offense or defense, one aspect of the game. I mean, 605 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: to me, would be very simple with just the offense 606 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: being able to score a point. I think that the 607 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense is good enough to hold the Saints offense, 608 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: but just hold them. It slowed them down for just 609 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: a little bit. But if the Cowboys offense is not 610 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: able to cooperate and also help them out and scoring points, 611 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: then that's gonna be a big issue. And again not 612 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: holding down to field goals, score the freaking score points. Yeah, 613 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: getting the vet zone score points. And that has been 614 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: one of their biggest struggles this year. And we'll see 615 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: what they ate. Amber you were supposed to pick one, 616 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: you picked about four. She did the right thing. There's 617 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: a lot of keys that There are a lot of 618 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: keys to me. Like I said, I think, keep convert 619 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: third downs, don't turn the ball overs a big one. 620 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: But if I have to pick one, I'm saying, keep 621 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: drives alive, keep the defense off the field as much 622 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: as you can convert third down. Defense got to help 623 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: the offense out with a couple of extra possessions, and 624 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: they got a season high three takeaways last week. I'm 625 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: not saying you can draw parallels to two thousand and 626 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: nine when they went up to New Orleans and won 627 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: the game, but they striped sack Breeze. It feels a 628 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: little bit like that. Well they were they were came 629 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: into that game. I think they wrote thirteen and oz 630 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: averaging thirty six points a game. They sack Breeze and 631 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: got two fumbles and two extra possessions, one seal the game. 632 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: DeMarcus ware is not playing Thursday night, but DeMarcus Lawrences 633 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: and he's there's another arc Is who can affect the 634 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: game that way. So the defense has to hand the 635 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: ball a couple of times to them. If you get 636 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: the same type of effort that you got in the 637 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: Atlanta game defensively, you got a shot. There's no way 638 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: in hell I thought that game was gonna be six 639 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: to three at one point in time. The way they 640 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: were able to kind of control things. So if the 641 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys defensively can keep it a low scoring game, they 642 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: got a shot to win this thing. And again it's 643 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: gonna be about how many stops can you get. But 644 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: I think the number one thing I say would say, 645 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: and I said it earlier, don't get fooled. Play your assignment, 646 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: don't miss assignments. Don't give them anything cheap down the field, 647 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: throwing the football because you're in the wrong spot or 648 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: you're missed a coverage or an assignment. I think that's 649 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: the surest way to death for this for this team 650 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of different formations they use. There's 651 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: a lot of window dressing, there's a lot of stuff. 652 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: Candy don't fall to guy Candy. Yeah, hey, what you're big. 653 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna going to Gray. You're not Wait, they've miss 654 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: standing up about Gray. Okay, okay, that has a question. 655 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: I want to about Tom Savage and how he's gonna 656 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: back up this Bengals. Don't ask us when we're firing 657 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: the coach, because we don't answer that anymore. Man. I 658 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: wish so you had Michael Troy and Emmett. Now we 659 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: got a Mari and Zeke and Dak where's the next 660 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: Jason Witton coming from? And where is it on the 661 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: priority lis? Wow, great question we'll look at. That's a 662 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: great question for yourself. Look at the scout, the guru 663 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: of the draft show for this one. Yeahs he owned 664 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: this team. I know, I don't think so. And the 665 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: thing that I've I've noticed I've looked at a few 666 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: tight ends. I don't see a first round tight end. 667 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the Iowa tight end yet. Now, you know, 668 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: it's funny with Rico. Rico's played a lot better than 669 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: I thought he would. You know, I don't think Rico's 670 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: making this the poor assignment, you know, you know, not 671 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: knowing what he's supposed to do. I think when they're 672 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: asking him to play and do some things, I wouldn't 673 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: be surprised if they get him involve this week and 674 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: doing something. Why do you think that up to this point, 675 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you've kept him around this long. Yeah, it's like, 676 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: let either let him play or let him go. But 677 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, now you've got him in a situation where 678 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: every time he comes in he blocks. It would be 679 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: something to kind of get him going. I mean, you know, 680 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,959 Speaker 1: we've seen like tied end delays, tight end screens, things 681 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: like that maybe get him going a little bit because 682 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: people all they do is think that he's gonna block. 683 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: But I think, to me, the tight end is gonna 684 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: have to be drafted. And again it's gonna be there's 685 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: there's tight ends. There's one in Missouri. Uh, there's one 686 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: that there's a couple of different ones that one. Like 687 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 1: I said, the ones in Iowa, you know they've got they. 688 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: I was always put into some great tight ends in 689 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: this league. So uh. And then also at Alabama that 690 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: IRV Smith, who I scouted his dad from out of 691 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: Notre Dame is playing. So there's some tight ends in 692 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: this in this draft. It'll be interesting to see if 693 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the second round can kind of manufacture 694 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: one out of all those guys. Again, I think it's 695 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: on someone someone else's team. Yeah. Jeff Swaim has has 696 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: played well, uh in his role as a starter. The 697 00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: problem for him has just been staying on the field. 698 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: It's just it's been he's had multiple injuries since he's 699 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 1: been here. But he's stunted man's stunt man. He's he's 700 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: been a solid guy that's done some dirty work for 701 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: them this year. In addition to being their leading pass 702 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: catcher of the position. But he's out right now. What 703 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: sucks is he had just caught my eye, like getting 704 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: my attention starin plays that he would make that you're like, 705 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: oh he did catch that, Wow, Okay. Yeah, So as 706 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: as soon as that started happening, obviously he suffers that 707 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: injury and he's out. So very unfortunate that that happened 708 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 1: because I think he was starting to get a little 709 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: something going there. Yeah. He his whole thing was that, 710 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, he gives you everything he has. He doesn't 711 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: leave anything on the field. I mean, he just he doesn't. 712 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: He's one of those guys I have a lot of 713 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: respect for because they asked him to do some things 714 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: that he physically can't do. But I've never seen him 715 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 1: not try and block a defensive end. I've never seen 716 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 1: him not try and tack a trap a defensive tackle. 717 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: I've never seen him not try and block a strong 718 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: safety at the point of attack so dat can run 719 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: around the edge. Those are the problems you have, you know, 720 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: with him, with him and you've been a guy I 721 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: like out with that, Nate, you gotta you gott a 722 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 1: gentleman with you. That's got a shirt on that that's 723 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: got three things, three out of five things that you 724 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: were very familiar with. Oh yes, sir, yes, sir man. 725 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: This man has a five time super Bowl champion shirt 726 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: on with the five super Bowl rings? Which three were 727 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: years Nate? I guess the last three man? I don't know, Yeah, 728 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: that would be the last three days. That one man 729 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: who we got Nate is Jack Hey, Jack by Well, California, 730 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: now resides in Owur. Oh yeah, I don't hold potatom. 731 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: He's been the wolf on, he's been. Hey, we're all 732 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: with the wolf on this year. Hey, what's your question, sir? 733 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: Glad you here? Um? My question is over the last 734 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: three or four games, our third down efficiency has really improved. However, 735 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 1: every time we fall behind the chains, they always seem 736 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: to dump off for one or two yards. There was 737 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 1: always playing it safe. You see all over the NFL 738 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: every week that you know, people fall behind the chains, 739 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: but they go for you, right. It seems like we 740 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: always just dump it off. I don't understand. Yeah, let's 741 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: be a little bit more aggressive there. That's that's fair. Hey, 742 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: Michael Gallop got you a fifteen yard first? Yea. Now 743 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: that I don't know if that was designed to do that, 744 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: But man, way just step up and just have one 745 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: play out of thirty five way to go wrong. It's 746 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: a fair question. Though. It's fair because sometimes we've talked 747 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: about in the press box when it's like third and 748 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: seventeen or second and set. But with Cooper in the game, 749 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,439 Speaker 1: I think you're better equipped now to at least try 750 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,240 Speaker 1: try well. Dak missed one the other day. If you remember, 751 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: in the game, he had Gallop in the middle of 752 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: the field and for some reason he took this huge 753 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,320 Speaker 1: stride to get to the front of the pocket. I 754 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 1: remember he slipped and then the ball went in the 755 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,439 Speaker 1: dirt and he had Michael Gallop is a fifteen yard 756 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: need fifteen. He was at seventeen to make the play 757 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: and Dak took this enormous stride and it caused him 758 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: to go off balance. And if he just steps step 759 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: and then throws the football, that's gonna be your first down. 760 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: But let me tell you what another another thing I 761 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: think why they're dumping the ball off. How many sacks 762 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: that they've given up this year thirty eight? Yes, yeah, 763 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: I think a lot of that has to do with that. 764 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: I think I think Scott lind A Hand's like, listen, 765 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: dump it off, We'll fight for another play defense playing 766 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,399 Speaker 1: well enough that could affect the way. Have you seen 767 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: because it seems like early in the year we were 768 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: all saying, DA's got to get rid of the ball. 769 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: He's holding on the ball too long. He's holding on 770 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: the ball too long. Is he getting better at that 771 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 1: or does he just now have people that are getting open. 772 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: Let me let me tell you. The throw that he 773 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: made that went for ninety yards was an anticipated throw 774 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: because we were Ambar was doing her breakdown and I 775 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: was doing my breakdown. It's up on Dallas Cowboys dot 776 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: com and hers is up on someone Scowboys. You know, 777 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: you see the route developed with Cooper. He goes inside 778 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: and there's a window and Prescott makes the throw. No 779 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: one that he's gonna keep coming. You know, they've got 780 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: three Redskins standing there, and DAC's like, he fires it 781 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 1: into that window knowing that Amory. Now it's I'm not 782 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: saying that it's anytimes that one. No, No, You're you're 783 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: absolutely right, and this is but I think it's he 784 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: trust Cooper's gonna be there where he maybe wasn't so 785 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 1: sure that Alan Hearns was gonna be there or and 786 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: I'm just using now on Herns. I'm just I should 787 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: just say a receiver, just somebody to catch that ball. Yeah, 788 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: what do you guys think before we head into break? 789 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: It seems like every year a key person goes down 790 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 1: on defense, The defense forgets how to play, They fall 791 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: apart Sean Lee right offense, you lose one offensive lineman. 792 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: You still got two Pro Bowl linemen, which a lot 793 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: of teams would love to have two Pro Bowl linemen. Yeah, 794 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: offensive line breaks down, they forget how to play football. Yeah, 795 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: what's the difference this year? Obviously vander Esch has stepped in, 796 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 1: so that's that's a huge plus. You know, you've got 797 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,720 Speaker 1: some role players that have stepped in with Joe Looney 798 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 1: and you know Xavie the biggest What what's the difference 799 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: is it? Is it talent or is it mentality? Is 800 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: it coaching? What's different last year and previous years than 801 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: it is this year. His last name is Richard, and 802 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: I think him him just coming over and again you're 803 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,919 Speaker 1: talking about the defensive line, but the defense as a whole. 804 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: I think that he still brings a lot of energy 805 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: and a different attitude, you know, to everyone in the 806 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: whole defense. I think his approach has been absolutely amazing. 807 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: The things that he's been able to do in such 808 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: a little amount of time has been absolutely impressive, and 809 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: I truly believe he's a big part of what the 810 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: whole defense is being able to do this. I agree 811 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: with you because you know, I'm we're all down there 812 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: for pregame and you see the way he talks of 813 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: these guys in the way that he coaches them up, 814 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 1: and he goes and he gets on him and he's firm, 815 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: but he but he's like, hey, you know how to 816 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: do this? Yeah, they appreciate it. But can can a 817 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: coach's attitude? Though? Does that really? I guess I'm looking 818 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: offensive and I don't know if there is one offensive 819 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: line if you look at with Mark Klumbos. But I'll 820 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: tell you this though, guys, if the Dallas Cowboys win 821 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,919 Speaker 1: the NFC East and get into playoffs, you can vote 822 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: whoever you want as the MVP. Hey broad, excuse me, 823 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 1: hey man, we got some better risk in fans over here. 824 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: I asked them, with y'all that asking the question, No, No, 825 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: we're often Washington. But I was gonna say this about 826 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: if you if you look at though, if you look 827 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: at the way this my MVP of this this group. 828 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: You can have Ezekiel Ellett, you can have Dak Prescott, 829 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: you can have a Maria Cooper, it's Joe Looney. There's 830 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,720 Speaker 1: no way that I ever believed in my wildest dreams 831 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: that Joe Looney could step in and play the way 832 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: he has Jumbo Joe. And you know, this offensive line 833 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: has had a chair of giving up sacks, and it's 834 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 1: some of it's been on the quarterback. But if you 835 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: told me that you were going to play the entire 836 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: season without an all pro center and not and had 837 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: as minimal issues as they've had, no, I was not 838 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: buying that. He is my if they get in the playoffs. 839 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: But I think Joe Looney has made himself one of 840 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: those guys where people around the league have said, you 841 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: know what we thought Joe Looney was just a journeyman. Yeah, 842 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: Joe Looney is not a bad player inside there, and 843 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: I think that's a credit to what he remade his body. 844 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: He came in with an attitude about, Hey, I'm gonna 845 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: try and help and lo and behol what happened he's 846 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: had the Police's gonna have to play sixteen games, maybe 847 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,399 Speaker 1: maybe hopefully nineteen games when it's all said and done. 848 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 1: That makes me so so happy, especially when you see 849 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: such a great guy like him off the field. He's 850 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: added to his personality the person that he is, and 851 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: you always see those guys and you want them to succeed, 852 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,359 Speaker 1: and that is so far working out for him. Yeah. 853 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: But that's why I think there's a different Chane because 854 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: they and guys. I think there's a difference because the 855 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: Will McClay and Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones said, and 856 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett for that matter, we can't go through another 857 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: season without having capable backups. Yeah, and to Anbar's point, 858 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: what Richard has done with Byron Jones, have him play. 859 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: It's one of the top corners in the league. We've 860 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: been asking each other for three years which position is he? 861 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: Now we know. I mean, that's that's a big time 862 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: coaching job right there. The other thing, as you mentioned, 863 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: Vanderesh Jalen Smith is another year experience and he is 864 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: miles ahead of where he was even last year as physically. 865 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: So now you've got two linebackers playing at a really 866 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 1: high level, really high level. When Sean Lee's not in there, Well, 867 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: we got to take another break. When we come back, 868 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: I got a question for y'all. I'll go ahead and 869 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: ask you the questions.

How soon and how good Amari Cooper 920 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 1: is fitting into this offense because you know, he had 921 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 1: a lot of promise coming into this league, didn't have 922 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 1: such a great season starting now with with Oakland comes 923 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 1: here and all of a sudden it looks like this 924 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: this trade makes or you know, going and getting this 925 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,399 Speaker 1: guy really makes sense for giving up a number one, 926 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,399 Speaker 1: hell even number one plus something else looks like it's 927 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: a smart move now or Laton, Vanderesh said, a pick 928 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 1: not everybody was excited about. It was kind of like, ohs, 929 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,719 Speaker 1: it's really the guy. Why are we taking this guy? 930 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,359 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, he's the hot, new 931 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,879 Speaker 1: new thing to talk about. If you're a Cowboys fan, yeah, 932 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 1: you know, just throw it out there. What do you 933 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 1: think the bigger surprise it's Vanderesh For me. You know, 934 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 1: you spend a first round pick on a guy, you 935 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 1: expect him to be good, and maybe maybe he's. His 936 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: connection with Dak is better than I thought. It might 937 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 1: have been four games in, but he showed in Oakland 938 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,280 Speaker 1: that he could be an effective player. For sure. Vanderesh 939 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: a lot of talent coming in. But I think for me, 940 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: the fact that he missed so much time in training camp. 941 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 1: You know, we got back here at the Star across 942 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 1: the street, they had practices at Ford Center and he 943 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 1: wasn't part of them. Got injured. I think it was 944 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: a growing injury and you wonder, okay, what kind of 945 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: role is he gonna have? And you know he has 946 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 1: just hit the ground running, he's been durable, and his instincts, 947 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: you know, he plays beyond a guy who's twenty two 948 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: years old or whatever he is. I think it's I 949 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,320 Speaker 1: think for me it's it's And I tell you what 950 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: he looks in that fifty five with that neck brace. 951 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 1: He looks like a hell of a football player, whether 952 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: he could play or not. Yeah, he looks like a 953 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: hell of a football player. So what do you think. 954 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: I think you can easily argue both of them. But 955 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to agree with Rob just because we 956 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: haven't seen a defense to work well without Sean Lee. 957 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 1: So well, the fact that this guy comes here in 958 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 1: a game, we have to get credit to Jalen Smith 959 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,239 Speaker 1: progress as well have been played really really good. But 960 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,880 Speaker 1: the fact that now you have late in here and 961 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 1: you are no longer worried whether Shan Lee is able 962 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 1: to play or not, it's amazing. I did not expect 963 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 1: that at all. That's a great point. Yeah, yeah, you 964 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: beat your point. Beat my point because the other thing too, 965 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: is because also think about how little football he played, 966 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,280 Speaker 1: and he didn't have a whole lot of starting experience 967 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,359 Speaker 1: in college. This guy has not played a lot high 968 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 1: level question, and he is where he is right now. Yeah. 969 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 1: I thought the learning curve was gonna be really big, 970 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: you know. And when I mean learning curve and him, 971 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna throw him in there, and and and you're 972 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,880 Speaker 1: you're thinking, Okay, this draft pick is made to replace 973 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: Sean Lee. Basically, that's what you're saying, because you've proven 974 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 1: that you cannot win games without Sean Lee. The absolute 975 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,479 Speaker 1: opposite has happened now to the point where you don't 976 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 1: really talk. I know, in our press conferences and we 977 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: talked to Garrett, it's nobody asked questions about Sean Lee. 978 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna like every it's gonna, oh, Sean 979 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 1: Lee back to Oh okay, it used to be how 980 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,759 Speaker 1: much longer for Sean Lee coming back? Is he coming back? Henny? 981 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,319 Speaker 1: You know the fact that they can actually take their 982 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 1: time and make sure that maybe Sean Lee can help 983 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 1: you for the last month of the season and into 984 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs potentially, I think says a lot about what 985 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith has done and also what Layton Vaniards. I'd 986 00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 1: seen him, Maury Cooper make plays. I've seen I've seen 987 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 1: him Maury Cooper may plays when he was the only 988 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,400 Speaker 1: thing that's a team had, you know, when the Raiders 989 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,760 Speaker 1: and they're throwing the ball at him and you're going, okay, 990 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,800 Speaker 1: I he's a known commodity. To me, do you Layton Vanderish, 991 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 1: what do you think this staff is surprised at how 992 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: how good he is? This fast? Well, this is where 993 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 1: the staff is to be a little, a little you know, 994 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what the right word. I you know, 995 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 1: kind of perplexed. I guess they draft Layton Vanderish one 996 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 1: year and they draft Taco Charlton the next, you know, 997 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 1: back to back kind of things, and you're sitting there 998 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,400 Speaker 1: thinking this is where the draft could be a little cruel. 999 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,800 Speaker 1: You know, you know, you're thinking, gosh, we got Layton Vanderish, 1000 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,719 Speaker 1: What a great pick. Yeah, guys, we drafted Taco though, 1001 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: and he's really not come along like we thought he was. 1002 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,600 Speaker 1: That the high and the low of the draft. I 1003 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,479 Speaker 1: mean not to say that Taco can't be the type 1004 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 1: of player, but as great as Layton Vanderish has been, 1005 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 1: has made us not even think about what Taco has been, right, 1006 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, and as a as a staff, you have 1007 00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,360 Speaker 1: to look at yourself and say, where did we fault? 1008 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,319 Speaker 1: Why did we take this guy and not this guy? 1009 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 1: You know that's I mean what we're looking really good? Like, 1010 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,799 Speaker 1: you know, the the JJ Watt's brother right now would 1011 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 1: be t J. Watt would be looking a lot better 1012 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 1: right now with Layton Vanderesh if they went back to 1013 00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,640 Speaker 1: back that way. But Tacos, you know, we'll see, we'll 1014 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,839 Speaker 1: see about Taco Nate. You got a line out there. 1015 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,319 Speaker 1: Who you got first? We got Mike, And Mike's gonna 1016 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 1: tell you where you from and what his question is. 1017 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Mike, how you doing, guys? Than I'm 1018 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 1: down here from Rhode Island on business Newport, very very 1019 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,880 Speaker 1: impressed with the whole lay of the land here. Thank you. 1020 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 1: You're familiar with Newport. I know I was gonna ask 1021 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: you if you knew j and Rhode Island, he called. 1022 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,759 Speaker 1: But I'm curious if if somehow Dallas is able to 1023 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,800 Speaker 1: get its uh self out of the NFC East and 1024 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 1: by chance they actually meet the Patriots in the big game. 1025 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: What your thoughts are? They played the Patriots next year 1026 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 1: in Foxborough. Oh, we're back up there, Yeah, back up 1027 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 1: in Foxborough. So I hope it's early. Yeah, I'm always 1028 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 1: you know, that's an interesting team in New England now, 1029 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 1: you know, because there's you're starting to see some a 1030 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 1: little bit some some chinks in the armor a little 1031 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 1: bit and the coach, the quarterback. Are they consistent enough 1032 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 1: on defense all the changes? So if you're gonna get 1033 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 1: the Patriots, probably right now is the best time to 1034 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 1: try and get the Patriots. You know. But you know, 1035 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,840 Speaker 1: that's that's one of those I'm fascinated because, like I 1036 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 1: seen Jacksonville went up there and you know, they came 1037 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,399 Speaker 1: down to Jacksonville got beat and you know, I'm kind 1038 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 1: of like, now, what team is this? But as long 1039 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 1: as they have the quarterback of the coach, but the 1040 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Patriots, I'm always interested in. I'll tell 1041 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 1: you what, that would probably be the highest rated Super 1042 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,799 Speaker 1: Bowl of all the time. It would break records. Yeah, 1043 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:44,839 Speaker 1: no question, it'd be a good game to watch. I'm 1044 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: just I'm focusing on trying to beat one Hall of 1045 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 1: Famer on Thursday. I'll tell you I focus on the 1046 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 1: other one later. Man, tell you what, Nate, you got 1047 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: somebody else? I got two more and that to be it. 1048 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 1: Two gentlemen. I've been begging, man, Oh this guy here 1049 00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: say he had several questions. Yeah, just give us your name, 1050 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 1: and where are you from? Sarah? I hate to even 1051 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 1: you know, because he's gonna ask a terrible question. Well, 1052 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 1: I'm Mike. I'm from Dallas. Forty years living in Dallas. Right, 1053 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,319 Speaker 1: So you're looking at the other Cowboys across forty years, 1054 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,839 Speaker 1: You've got a lot of history, right. Right. So if 1055 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 1: you're Dak and you're coming into this season looking at 1056 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 1: the big picture, what are you thinking? If you're Dak 1057 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,680 Speaker 1: right looking at longevity, looking at down the road, what 1058 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 1: are you gonna get from the Cowboys over the next 1059 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,400 Speaker 1: five to ten years? I see. So you're saying, if 1060 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna sign him, if he's looking at long term 1061 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 1: as signing a deal, is that how you're thinking about it? Yeah? 1062 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,880 Speaker 1: If you're him, you want to build a franchise, right, 1063 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:43,120 Speaker 1: franchise like Cowboys you got in the Washington organization you've 1064 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,719 Speaker 1: got to compete with from the financial standpoint, right, how 1065 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,719 Speaker 1: are you gonna build the organization with what we've got 1066 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? So what coaching standpoint or whatever? How 1067 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 1: do you build that organization to something that's successful over 1068 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 1: the next long term? Right? I think from his point 1069 00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 1: of view, from Dak's point of view. I mean, look 1070 00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: at look at how many endorsement deals he has because 1071 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 1: of where he plays from his personal view. And I 1072 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,880 Speaker 1: don't know if that's the angle you're taking, but if 1073 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 1: he's looking at being somewhere this organization, in this franchise 1074 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,640 Speaker 1: as far as building your personal brand as a player, 1075 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 1: making money outside of your contract, this is where you 1076 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 1: want to be. Now you can answer kind of whether yeah, 1077 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,479 Speaker 1: this is this is where I think that he's he's 1078 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 1: in a little bit of a crossroads. Is because I 1079 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 1: believe him and the head coach are tied together here, 1080 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,960 Speaker 1: I really do. And I mean in this way, if 1081 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 1: he has success, the head coach states, which means his 1082 00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,680 Speaker 1: future seems to be here. If they don't get in 1083 00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs and they make a coaching change, well now 1084 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 1: he's got to start all over the new coach and 1085 00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,000 Speaker 1: will the new coach, will the new coach help him? 1086 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,439 Speaker 1: I think the first question that Jerry Jones would ask 1087 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 1: an interview of a coach is can you help my quarterback? 1088 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,839 Speaker 1: You know? And I think that's where Dak. I think Dak. 1089 00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 1: I think he doesn't want to start over, you know. 1090 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:00,719 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he wants to have to 1091 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,320 Speaker 1: start over. You know, I think he wants to say, Okay, 1092 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'd like some continuity. And that's I think 1093 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,359 Speaker 1: what Jerry Jones has tried to build here. That's why 1094 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,279 Speaker 1: you stick with Jason Garrett for eight years because you 1095 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 1: don't want to keep changing coaches. So but Dak's got 1096 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 1: to look at this and say, you know what, do 1097 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,040 Speaker 1: I want to sign a long term deal here? Well, 1098 00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,279 Speaker 1: they could keep, they could franchise him and stuff like that. 1099 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,600 Speaker 1: But he also, you know, it's who's going to be 1100 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,800 Speaker 1: the coach. You know, if they get in the playoffs, 1101 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,800 Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett is most likely going to stay. But 1102 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,319 Speaker 1: if they get if they don't make the playoffs, then 1103 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,040 Speaker 1: in January we could be talking about how about a 1104 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 1: new coach coming in saying I can't win with that guy. Yeah, 1105 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 1: I can't win with this quarterback, much like with Chris 1106 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,399 Speaker 1: Roshard coming in saying I can't play with Jordan Lewis 1107 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,319 Speaker 1: as my starting cornerback. So you know, I mean, it's 1108 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,240 Speaker 1: it's a tough it's a tough situation right there, because 1109 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 1: he's trying to get money and he's trying to help 1110 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:57,040 Speaker 1: his coach keep his job, and that's that's difficult. That's 1111 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: a difficult You see that a lot in the league. 1112 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 1: Now you see teams higher coaches. Gruden's doing it in Oakland, right, 1113 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 1: you know Andy Reid did it in Kansas City. They 1114 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,279 Speaker 1: come in and they want their type of quarterback. Their 1115 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,279 Speaker 1: guy Maari Cooper is here because John Gruden wanted to 1116 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 1: just build things from the ground up, right at your point, 1117 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, mcvay's a little different because he slid into 1118 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:20,280 Speaker 1: a position. But well, that was that was that's the question. 1119 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 1: That's the question about McVeigh. Excuse the thing is when 1120 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,879 Speaker 1: when less snead An ownership interviewed McVeigh for the job, 1121 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 1: tell me about what you think about golf when you 1122 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,719 Speaker 1: when you were at Washington, how did you evaluate him? 1123 00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 1: And that that's that's line one for them, that's line one. 1124 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,960 Speaker 1: How do you fix my quarterback? And Jeff Fisher and 1125 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 1: them had tremendous problems trying to get anything established for golf. 1126 00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,439 Speaker 1: There's lucky that he didn't play three years for Jeff 1127 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:53,839 Speaker 1: Fisher and ruin it right, you know, broughtness, you are 1128 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:58,239 Speaker 1: so true when when when the quarterback is your franchise 1129 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,759 Speaker 1: and Jeff Fisher knew that because I think you played 1130 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,160 Speaker 1: with the Barons a couple of years during his career. 1131 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,719 Speaker 1: Didn't have a great quarterback all those years, so he 1132 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:11,360 Speaker 1: should have valued that, right. Jim McMahon was the defense 1133 00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. Vin Walter Payton run the football, 1134 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 1: play great defense. And so with the new style of coaches, 1135 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, everybody can't coaching the day. Everybody, every hot 1136 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 1: coach can't coach in this league because they ain't gonna 1137 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,840 Speaker 1: be able to make these adjustments. But the young coaches 1138 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,600 Speaker 1: that are played in this league that has come from college, 1139 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 1: give them a year under that belt. So if if 1140 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 1: i'm miss Jones and I'm gonna make a change, I'm 1141 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 1: gonna bring a guy in up under Jason, a young 1142 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,320 Speaker 1: hot guy that you know, I mean, I'll use the example, 1143 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,440 Speaker 1: and this is kind of stretching the Kingsbury guy. I 1144 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,800 Speaker 1: will bring him in and say, hey, man, you're our coordinator. 1145 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 1: Now him and Jason may not drive, but Jason has 1146 00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,920 Speaker 1: another choice. Yeah, you know, well, let's let's be honest. 1147 00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,920 Speaker 1: What they did do last spring. They changed every offensive 1148 00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 1: coach out, but about the running the running back coach 1149 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,880 Speaker 1: and the offensive coordinator. Yeah, everybody else was shown the door. Basically, 1150 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 1: you know, we got a couple of minutes left. Let's 1151 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 1: play a little game of buy or sale. So I'll 1152 00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 1: throw a name out there. You guys tell me if 1153 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 1: you're buying him, which basically means you keeping him right 1154 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 1: or you're shipping them off. So let's start with somebody 1155 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 1: we mentioned a little bit earlier. Taco. I'm still buying there. Yeah, 1156 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: I've given him. I gotta give him a chance. I 1157 00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,800 Speaker 1: gotta give him another year. I mean it's unfortunately he's 1158 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 1: been banged up, you know, and hadn't been able to play, 1159 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,439 Speaker 1: but he started with some promise this year. I gotta, 1160 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,400 Speaker 1: I gotta. I'm buying still, there have been signs of 1161 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 1: progress with him this year. Now he's and I think 1162 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna play in this game. He's been practiced this week. 1163 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,840 Speaker 1: That sounds pretty good. I think he's missed the last 1164 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 1: three games with the shoulder. Yeah, hopefully. So the project 1165 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 1: that's been here for a while, he's finally in the 1166 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 1: offense a little bit. But you got four guys at 1167 00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:51,640 Speaker 1: this position. Rico gathers chow chow. Think the Rico project's over. 1168 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 1: He has to be. I mean, what are you doing? 1169 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,439 Speaker 1: What are you doing with this guy right now? Yeah? 1170 00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 1: But I mean, yes, he's shown some progress in the 1171 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 1: block game. Yeah, but honestly, see giving me anything that 1172 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 1: it size me. Yeah, in the offense, let's see, let's 1173 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,760 Speaker 1: see how the last month plays. But she she she's 1174 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:14,440 Speaker 1: got a point a couple more. David Irving, Bye, I 1175 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 1: can't if I can't rely on you to be here 1176 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,600 Speaker 1: and there's a slot of off field thing bye bye 1177 00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 1: you mean b y e sell bye bye bye. It's 1178 00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:25,720 Speaker 1: just tough. It's just tough because we talked about on 1179 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,120 Speaker 1: our show. From a pure talent standpoint, he's as talented 1180 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,320 Speaker 1: as any guy they have on the team. Guy on 1181 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,400 Speaker 1: the team. I told you the crawfish spoil. I'm gonna 1182 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 1: suck standing there throwing the pot and I'm gonna go. 1183 00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 1: I supposed to go, who's the most talented player you've 1184 00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,080 Speaker 1: ever seen? It didn't do anything, I'm gonna say, David Irving, Yeah, 1185 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: you know, and and coaches and Skyle Saxon says, and 1186 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 1: bright as you can correct me at the end of 1187 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 1: the day, when the coach said, hey, man, can I 1188 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 1: win with this guy? Yeah? All right, yeah, last one. 1189 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 1: This one's a tricky one. The quarterback number four, dak 1190 00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,600 Speaker 1: buying her selling. I'm staying with him. Yeah, yeah, And 1191 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,200 Speaker 1: I believe Jerry Jones when he says he's he's my guy. 1192 01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,680 Speaker 1: I really believe that he's been emphatic about that. We 1193 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,480 Speaker 1: saw what happened, we got a little help. Yeah, at 1194 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 1: that point, I'm staying with him.

Shoot, you know, I told him he was 1198 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 1: doing a show and she took off. She didn't give 1199 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 1: me a chance to say that. You know, I said, 1200 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 1: the little kid here, but she just took off on him. 1201 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 1: I should have came and running little kids off now, Nate, Yeah, anyway, 1202 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,560 Speaker 1: but uh, I wouldn't.
