Speaker 1: Football season. It is football season. Go Tigers, by the way,

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Nick. Did you enjoy the Tigers

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: game this weekend? Yes, I had a good time. The

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: first half was awesome. Texas Live was great. In second

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: half and it was pulled the cord halfway through. Smart man.

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: But you know, man, I'll tell you this, and my

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: team is a rival to LSU. But that fan base

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: right there is strong. It's a strong, fun fan base.

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: And that game was was cool. It really was a

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: good Yeah, I mean it was. It was a fun atmosphere.

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: Wasn't a good game because LSU looked pretty good. They

28
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: looked really good. All three of you went yes, yeah,

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: I did. So. The concept of this shows we don't

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: really know what's going to happen on the show, and

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: I think that's what the greatness of this thing is.

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: We might talk a little college football, we might drink

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: a little cold beer, we might not in that order,

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: not in that order. We might talk some some NFL football.

35
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: But the cool thing about this week football actually means something.

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Yeah for everybody on the team. What did you do today, Brian?

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: I watched the Carolina Panthers. Yeah, I sat down in

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: and studied the Panthers. Then, uh, yeah, you know it.

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be it's gonna be interesting to see and

40
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get into the dynamics of their team

41
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: as we go along. But some new faces there in

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Carolina and you know, again new faces here for the Cowboys.

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: It ought to be a really good matchup overall, just

44
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: because the talent level Lombo teams. I mean, they've got

45
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: some defensive guys that can flat play, They've got some

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: offensive weapons. I've got a special quarterback, I believe. But yeah,

47
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: it's it's if you're talking about a game right out

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: of the blocks, you know, this is one that should

49
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: draw your your interesting, even if you're not, if you're

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: just a football fan. Two really quality teams obviously, Like

51
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: I mean, we're biased. We worked for the Cowboys, we

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: spend all our time covering them. But I looked at

53
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: the slate for this week, I mean, and there are

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: other good games for sure, like you know, the Packers

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: will play the Bears this week and Eagles Falcons will

56
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: be a good way to open it on Thursday. But

57
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: you just talk about young, interesting teams with aspirations like

58
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: this Panthers Cowboys is gonna be as good as anything

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: that happens this weekend. Absolutely, I'm not shaking my head

60
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: at you, Dave. I'm shaking my head at Shan Englin,

61
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: Like there's no way you're eating those Yeah, I don't

62
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: know how you think you're gonna eat buffalos during a

63
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: radio Smell those they smell great, get into them. Food

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: is really good. If you've never concrete Cowboy by absolutely Yeah,

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: come over here, come over, Yeah, I'm want to hang

66
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: out with Joe Similar and Derek Eagleton. Yeah, so the people, Hey, guys,

67
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: so brought us. You have a theory about so we're

68
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: opening up on the road and against the NFC South. Yeah,

69
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: you have a you have a theory that Yeah, I do, Shannon,

70
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: and guys, I you know, I believe that if this

71
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: is going to be a playoff team for the Cowboys,

72
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: and the way that these games come down to field

73
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: goals and tighten all that, I'm not talking about Dan Baileyfield.

74
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about tough games. I'm some of a

75
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: tough games. I don't think if you're a team with

76
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: playoff aspirations that you can have a bad run against

77
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: the NFC South. I don't think you could be one

78
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: in three and and lose to Atlanta and lose to

79
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: Carolina and lose to New Orleans. I just don't think

80
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: you can do that and expect to be in the playoffs.

81
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: Those are all three quality teams. They were all teams

82
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: that were in the playoffs last year, and I think

83
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: you have to get off to a good sorry when

84
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: they you know, when they were when thirteen games two

85
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: years ago, what they do They swept the NFC North,

86
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: they swept the AFC North, you know, and that helps

87
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: you then what the losses they had were against the

88
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: Giants and the Eagles. I mean, the vision and the

89
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: division is tough enough as it is. I just don't

90
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: think you could go to Carolina. And I'm one of

91
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: these guys, and maybe people think I'm wrong about this.

92
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: I think every win is every game is a must

93
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: win because you only play sixteen of them and it

94
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: comes down to, well, okay, you Atlanta got in the playoffs,

95
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: they beat you head to head. You know, these are

96
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: just things you have to think about, even though it's

97
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Week one. I think you have to think about it

98
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: as getting off on the right foot in order to say, okay,

99
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: now we'll put Carolina behind us. Who else can we keep?

100
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: You know, putting you got Seattle will be a team,

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: probably have to deal with Detroit. You're probably a team

102
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to do it. You're gonna have the

103
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: opportunity as we go along here to beat some teams

104
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: that you're gonna be competing for. Yeah, if you don't

105
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: win the division, we're jump You're you're jumping into a

106
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: philosophical conversation there, because I don't agree with you at all.

107
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean, every game in the NFL is important because

108
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: there's only sixteen, but a must win game is like

109
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: the Seahawks game on Christmas Eve last year that they

110
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: did not win, Like they they had to win that

111
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: game to keep their season alive and they didn't. But

112
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: to your point, you, I mean, you can trace this

113
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: thing back as far as this format has gone. Like

114
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: you play two whole divisions every year, right, and how

115
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: you do against them almost always determines your season. I mean,

116
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: they swept everybody in sixteen, and in fourteen they swept

117
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: the AFC South, which was much weaker than it is.

118
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: This year, they're playing the AFC South. This year looks

119
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: very formidable. I mean, Andrew Luck is back, the Texans

120
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: are stacked, the Jags are obviously. I'm just thinking about

121
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: the team's day that you're gonna help it to deal

122
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: with in the playoffs and potential playoffs, And that's my

123
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: point being is that you're playing two divisions. At least

124
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: seven of the eight in those divisions have genuine playoff aspirations.

125
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the Panthers were a playoff team last year,

126
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons and the Saints, so three you don't believe

127
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: it must win games, by the way, you've gotten me

128
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: kind of irritated. Now, oh here we go. Let's go

129
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: and in terms of must in terms of the season's

130
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: over and you didn't accomplish your goals if you don't win,

131
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: why do they always have a to you when they

132
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: say a team goes O and two that they don't

133
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: make the playoffs? You know, if ever it's always and two,

134
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: if every game is a must win game, then how

135
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: to eight and eight in nine and seven teams and

136
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: make the playoffs on a regular basis. They clearly didn't

137
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: win all their games, they actually were, but they had

138
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: to win. They had to win eight of them to

139
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs. What if they did if they

140
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: didn't win eight but they lost eight, Like you have

141
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: a margin for error, it's you you have to win, obviously,

142
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: But why why allow a margin? Why why allow a

143
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: margin of error? Because you're not going to go sixteen

144
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: and no, only one team's ever done it. That's yeah.

145
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: But I mean to me, that's the goal, to try

146
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: and go sixteen worse. That's the goal. And that's why

147
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: the Patriots every year just dominate everything. I'm telling you,

148
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: because they win all their games. It's not gonna happen.

149
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: And that's okay, Like it's okay to lose games. It's

150
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: which games do you lose? And that's my point is

151
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: seven again, seven of the eight teams in these divisions

152
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: they play this year have legit playoff aspirations. The Jazz

153
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: were in the playoffs last year. Sure, Titans were in

154
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. Three of the four teams in

155
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: the NFC South we're in the one and three against

156
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the NFC South and see what happens. My point, these

157
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: intersectional games are important. We're saying. I think you could say,

158
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: go one and three against anybody and you're you're gonna struggle.

159
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: I think you look at games like it's gonna come

160
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: back at the end of the year and go That

161
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: one was one MS Atlanta for sure last year. Yeah,

162
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: it was a manny reasons because Atlanta, you know, they

163
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: elevated themselves and so I think that you always go

164
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: back and go, man, that one was the game, and

165
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: it could be this first game, but you know, depending

166
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: on what happens with Carolina. I agree with you that

167
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: you've got to you've got to win all of them,

168
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, But I mean, I agree with Dave that

169
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: they're not all must win. But I agree with you, Brian,

170
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: because it's like you got to treat it like I

171
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: we'll get them next week. There's no more next week.

172
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: See this is where this is where front office guys

173
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: think differently than maybe the fan, where the fan will

174
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: ask us that question in week twelve about oh, was

175
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: this a must win game? And me, I'm like, it

176
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: was must win to me in week one because you've

177
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: only played sixty in a packet. And if they start

178
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: on one, like start working on the draft show or no,

179
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: I won't do that. I won't do that. But I

180
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: feel like that you'll miss an opportunity. Absolutely I'll be

181
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: disappointed and I'll turn around and say, you know what,

182
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: the Giants games must win, Dave, and if they lose that,

183
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: then they'll then they'll flip you some real cool stat

184
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: then that you don't make the playoffs at all. You're

185
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: getting into real trouble when you start flirting with O

186
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: two win worse. But then so you're saying that these

187
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: games aren't really they don't mean much, right, it's not

188
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: what I said. Yeah, that's kind of what you did.

189
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: Let me ask Let me ask you guys this. Do

190
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: you remember a season that there was so much uncertainty

191
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: like it feels like to me usually I have an

192
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: opinion going into the season, like I feel like they're

193
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: gonna be good. I feel like they're not gonna be great.

194
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna be eight and eight this year.

195
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Nothing would surprise me because there's

196
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: so many I guess, new players, young team, so many

197
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: question marks, young secondary. You don't know what the what

198
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: the front seven is gonna be, like, you know, going

199
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: into season with two running backs? Do y'all remember a

200
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: season that's kind of up in the air like this?

201
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: Hold on? What h what was that? Last things? What

202
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: do you mean? Oh? Just two running Yeah? Okay, sorry,

203
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: I thought you meant two running backs, Like you know,

204
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: you've got two guys that are gonna get the ball here?

205
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Sorry you got one? And yeah if you've got two

206
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: because you have one? Right? Sorry? Yeah, I mean, I'm

207
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: sure that there were there were years where there's some

208
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: uncertainty there. But it starts with with the quarterback. I mean,

209
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna gonna be really good, but you

210
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: never know. I mean that offensive line, that's what you

211
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: were counting on this whole time, and and this center

212
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: of it all is not gonna probably will not be

213
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: here for this first game. So that changes a little

214
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: bit or a lot of bit. We'll find out. And

215
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think that that's where it starts to

216
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: kind of snowballs from there. I still think they're gonna

217
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: run the ball well. And you've got two wildcards on

218
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: defense that they were drafted because they were studs in college.

219
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: There were reasons why they fell. If they play like

220
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: studs now, then you got something on defense. If Randy

221
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: Gregory and Jalen Smith are flying around the ball, they

222
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: are going to be a very good defense. You are

223
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: right about that, and that could change everything because then

224
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: your offense and now you can play down the hill.

225
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: To Shannon's point, I completely agree with you. I mean

226
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: with you don't know. No, no, you absolutely don't know,

227
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: which is why if you told, if if you came

228
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: to me from New Year's Day twenty nineteen, and said, Dave,

229
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys went five and eleven. I'd be most the ball.

230
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: You don't remember New Year's Day. That's not a good

231
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: day to come to you about anything. That's a really

232
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: good point. Wait, go back to night La. He doesn't

233
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: remember Sunday much less New Year's Day, New Year's Day,

234
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: New Years You're absolutely right heavy beers. Did you drink Sunday? Dave?

235
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: A couple dozen? Probably, if I had. He was good.

236
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: He was a good stead. I wouldn't go to it

237
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: was fine. You didn't have to carry your son out.

238
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: I was having fun, but not I was a little

239
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: worried to a point. No, hey, compared to some of

240
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: the people that were around us. No, I know, I

241
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: had all my motor I had all my motor skills.

242
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: It's it's not good when you wait eight months to

243
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: watch your favorite college football team and then you don't

244
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: remember any of the game. Yeah, that's that's not me,

245
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: Dave playing right now. It's Dave walks down there. He starts,

246
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: he didn't know we were white. I'm not talking about me.

247
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about some of the people that were in

248
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: my section. Yeah, sometimes you get a little overserved. It happens.

249
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: No you the women came down and said they stopped

250
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: serving in the fourth quarter. Yeah, kind of gave me

251
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: that line, and I'm like, huh, okay, I made He

252
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: goes how many you've had, Dave? I made it. He

253
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: was like, I made it home, and I remember most

254
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: of the game, like, get on my level. I went

255
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: to LSU. That's what we do with you about thirty

256
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: five years ago. I didn't say I took the car

257
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: in the ditch. I'll put it back. You said, if

258
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: you come to me, if you came to me from

259
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: January twenty nineteen and said, Dave, the Cowboys went five

260
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: and eleven, I'd be like, that's not super surprising. And

261
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: here's probably why. If you come to me and said

262
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: they went twelve and four, I'd say, that's not super surprising.

263
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: And here's probably why. I think the variance is huge

264
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: for this team. Like, I think they could be great.

265
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: I think they could be one of the best two

266
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: or three teams in the NFC. I also think they

267
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: could be kind of lousy. It just depends on what's

268
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: gonna make it lousy. Uh, they could be lousy if

269
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: these defensive players don't step up the way that they

270
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: have shown that they can. Right if no swiping and

271
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: no ninety four and and no No fifty, no continued

272
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: dominance from DeMarcus Lawrence. No if if Sean Lee is

273
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: out for another extended period of time. Uh, if they

274
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: don't get this safety situation resolved to some type of

275
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: satisfactory conclusion on offense, I mean, if so you went

276
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: immediately on the defense though, well, it's the first thing

277
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: that came to my mind. But if Dak Prescott's not good,

278
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: this team's probably not gonna be good straight up. And

279
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he needs to be an MVP caliber player,

280
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: but he needs to be good. Yeah. Uh. If if

281
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: Zeke is unavailable for whatever reason, you're in a whole

282
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: mess of trouble. If I mean, I'm curious to see.

283
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: I think Joe Looney's gonna handle this really well. I

284
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: really do. I think he's gonna play well. But if

285
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't and and this offensive line goes through struggles

286
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: like it did last year, I mean you could be

287
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: worry more. You guys, worry more about Looney or or

288
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: or or with Connor Williams m cow good question. Probably

289
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: Connor and that's not to knock on him. I mean,

290
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: Looney's a seven year veteran. He's been around this team

291
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: for three years. He's been in the NFL, so I

292
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: mean he's been doing the conditioning and the weight training,

293
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: and he knows what to expect. He's played about a

294
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: different answer here. No, no, no, I'm gonna say, yeah,

295
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: it's a different answer. I'm gonna say Connor because of Looney.

296
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: What we were hoping for with Connor was that he'd

297
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: have left tackle over here. That was all world and

298
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: all world center over here. And now Looney's still he's

299
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: got some issues over here, and I think he's gonna

300
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: be good, but you know he's gonna have to be

301
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: on his own. Connor Williams a little bit more than

302
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: we thought. But I like him. I like the pick.

303
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: You guys know where I stand on then making a

304
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: trade for somebody in Seattle, and and I think that

305
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: they made the right call on this one. I think

306
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: I think this guy's going to be a really good

307
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: player in this league. I think he fits perfectly with

308
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do. He's mean as a snake,

309
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's good for what they're what they're

310
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: looking for him. Were there any with the roster now

311
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: kind of settling and everything. Were there any surprise? Yeah, cut,

312
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: well besides the glaring one that was at the top

313
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: of the second from the top of the list, which Nick,

314
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: you have an issue with that, don't you. Yeah, yeah,

315
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: I had an issue with it. I just don't think

316
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: it was a real competition at all. I don't think

317
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: they they they competed. And I thought that if you're

318
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: the best kicker this team's ever had, I think that

319
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: you deserve the right to prove that you don't have

320
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: the confidence of them, and you don't, you know, don't

321
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: he's kind of shaky? Well, you know, miss a kick

322
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: in Carolina and then maybe miss one in New York

323
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: and then you have issues. But yeah, the guy was injured,

324
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: we know that. And he gut it through it and

325
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: he tried his best. And I think he should have

326
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to kick in the preseason and see

327
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: what happens. And do you think he felt that he

328
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: was in a competition. I don't think so, I think

329
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: And that's really and that's just prizing because the man's

330
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: a captain or was a captain, you know, and you

331
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: feel like though, okay, you plugged in. Do you owe

332
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: him that? I mean, is there is there? Did they?

333
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: You know, I'm really curious and I wish I was

334
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: still a personnel where I said, Okay, when was this

335
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: decision made? Was this an Oxnard decision? Was this was this?

336
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: Was this something going in that they don't like that.

337
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: You know what, this guy's got a pretty strong leg.

338
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: Let's see what he can do if he makes a

339
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: field goal or two. You know, I can say he

340
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: missed one in San Francisco that cost him an opportunity.

341
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: If they get that, If they get that, that field goal,

342
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, San Francisco drives down and wins the game

343
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: in the last two minutes. Yeah, they win the game.

344
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: So you know, now you're sitting there. I mean, I

345
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: just think this is a huge gamble for Jason Garrett.

346
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: I really do. And you know, but this might be

347
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: one of those situations where Jason Garrett might have said, listen,

348
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this. But then they talk

349
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: about it. As a group. We try and get the

350
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: We try and get a consensus, that's the big word.

351
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: We try and get a consensus. Here, maybe it was

352
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: three to one that hey, we're gonna get rid of

353
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey. Yeah, and you know, and he's sitting there thinking,

354
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: all right, it's like they did with Dez Bryant. Are

355
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: the four votes there, Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, Will McClay

356
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett. Yeah. Absolutely. I'm just my experience of

357
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: working for the Jones is in that personnel department. That's

358
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: that's the way it was. It was Larry Laswell, it

359
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: was Bill Parcels, it was Stephen and Jerry. Those were

360
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: the decision makers in there. It didn't filter down to

361
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: the scouts and all that. Maybe they came by and

362
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: asked your opinion on how would you replace this guy?

363
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: You know, but it never was. It never got into

364
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: our wheelhouse. I would I would loved that, Sorry, I

365
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: would just I would love to have an honest to

366
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: god conversation with Dan. And that's where it's, you know,

367
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: when a guy gets you know, we saw Dez Bryant,

368
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: he rolled up and rolled right back out and you

369
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: and you don't get to hang around and talk with

370
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: them and see how they feel and see what they

371
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: thought about it. But I bet he's got a thought

372
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: or two. Here's what I don't understand. I'm not a

373
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: cap expert. I'd like to know it. I think I

374
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: know it pretty well. But so you can roll money

375
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: into next year, but the two main guys, three main

376
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: guys you're trying to sign, you couldn't sign right now anyways,

377
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: right not right now. No, you could not get a

378
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: deal done with dak Zeke or DeMarcus Lauren. Right, So

379
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: if you're going to roll money into next year, couldn't

380
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: you cut him next year? I mean, like, couldn't you

381
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: grow into the season. That's it wasn't It was not

382
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: a it was not a move done because of money.

383
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: I don't agree. I don't think they threw that in

384
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: there as part of the caveat. I think one. I

385
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: think they lost confidence in Dan Bailey. That's that's the

386
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: bottom line. Yeah, I just want to know win like, well, yeah,

387
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: exactly again. I mean, yes, I felt like we watched

388
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: all the practice and even when you started watching, even

389
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: you know you have to pay it. It used to

390
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: be a time you didn't have to pay attention to

391
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: what was going on with the kickers. Right then all

392
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden he missed one and then won't be

393
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: missed another one, and then we come back the next day, Oh,

394
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: he misses one again, he misses next thing. You know,

395
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: we're all standing underneath the goal post writing him down,

396
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: and so you know, but I I just then, but

397
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: he righted the ship that. I just can't believe that

398
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: a coach that, in my opinion, is on the hot seat,

399
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: is willing to say, Okay, let's move on from this guy,

400
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: let's move on from this guy. Let's move on from

401
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: this guy. I just can't believe that. Yeah, other than Dan,

402
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: any any other surprises that either made the team or

403
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: didn't make the team. You mentioned it, but I was.

404
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised. Is that they only kept three

405
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: running backs or two if you don't count jamay'z Ali Whalley.

406
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: Not I don't have any beef with Darius Jackson or

407
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: both Scarborough, but I thought it was outside the box,

408
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: thinking that, hey, we're leaning on Zeke anyway, and we

409
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: can find down the road running backs anywhere if we

410
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: need to plug. I feel like the running back situation

411
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: we talked about that on our shows, that you know

412
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: they could go with, they could go with two running

413
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: backs one fullback, because because Scarborough and Jackson didn't do

414
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: enough for me, to say, we've got to have one

415
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: of these guys. Go, yeah, we've we've got to have

416
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: this guy. No, it never got to that point. Jackson

417
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: I thought out played him. What much like I thought

418
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: that Rico outplayed Schultz, Jackson did outplay him. But and

419
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: again I love Darius Jackson, but there's like eighteen guys

420
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: like him around the league. I would guess I looked

421
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: around the waiver wire. I wasn't surprised, you know, like

422
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: gonna say Friday, it wasn't surprised if if Rico makes

423
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: the team, I was a little surprised that he started

424
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: his morning in Jay and then that makes the team.

425
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: But you know, he's didn't change a whole lot and

426
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: from what they wanted him to do that they saw

427
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: a guy that that's got so much upside and and

428
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, and Jason Garrett said it the other day,

429
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: actually that you know, he's when he's when he's engaged

430
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: on the guy he's got, he's a pretty good blocker. Yeah,

431
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: now you got to figure that out. But it sounded

432
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: to me, you guys were both there. It sounded to

433
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: me like red zone opportunities might be for him, not

434
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: just to throw it up out to him. But when

435
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: they want to run the ball to Zeke, you know

436
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: that it's all in there tight. He's got his guy,

437
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: he knows who to block, and he's big and powerful

438
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: and he can move the guy. He made some comparisons

439
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: to Martellus Bennett. Yeah, it's technique wise. Yeah, two hundred

440
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: and eighty pound guy getting into body and then all

441
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: of a sudden you can't throw it right. You know,

442
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: technique's bad, feats bad, extension bad. But you you can't

443
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: throw a guy like that. By the time you're trying

444
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: to throw a guy next, you know that number twenty

445
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: ones passed you. Yeah, it's the blitz off the edge

446
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: where the linebackers coming here in the safety's over here,

447
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: and now do I have him? Because they just made

448
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: the call here, that's the one that's shaky, and all

449
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden you let the guy go and Dax

450
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: looking at his ear hole when he wakes, you know,

451
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: when he gets up, surprise you They kept four tight ends.

452
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: Now not and they cut to fifty three video. He

453
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: was the last guy we talked about and we thought

454
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: that that would made the route. Did I agree with it? No?

455
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: I do not. I really don't I felt like that.

456
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll tell you what surprised me though, and I

457
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: when Brad Sham and I were doing the game in

458
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: Houston at halftime, we had a front office guy coming

459
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: to me and talk about Cuvington. You know, they ken't

460
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: what seven linebackers, right, so I was kind of feeling

461
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: like that they were not going to keep all those linebackers.

462
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: But they just felt like that they couldn't lose an

463
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: opportunity with him to be on the team. They felt

464
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: like that if they put him out there and he

465
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: was gone. So you know, that was a I thought

466
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: that was a pretty deep position that they had people

467
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: talking about, Oh, well, what's the deep Well, the offensive

468
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: line probably is the best if you look at the starters,

469
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: and then I think you'd have to say that the

470
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: linebackers were probably the next best group. I asked every

471
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: member of the front office that I could bump into

472
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: that very question at training camp, said if you assume

473
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: offensive lines your best position, what's number two? And the

474
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: answer was linebacker? Every single time. Really, Wow, let's take

475
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: a quick break, pay a couple of bills, and when

476
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: we come back, we will talk about what excite you

477
00:21:13,000 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: boys about the season. On the Happy Hour back the

478
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: Happy hour, And that was what you call seeing how

479
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: fast you can eat a chicken strip and a carrot

480
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: stick before you get back on the air. How's the guat?

481
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: It's great, it's very green. Yes, yeah, is that right? Nick? Okay, Well,

482
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: welcome back, fellas. Hi? Hi? So what are you mostly

483
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: Let's just go down the let's go down the road here.

484
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: What are we most excited to see Sunday? Not not

485
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: the on the tail, not the on Sunday on Sunday?

486
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: What what day? What are you looking forward to seeing

487
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: in real time on Sunday in a game situation? Uh? Well,

488
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: Nick brought it up, But I mean, well, alright, a

489
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: couple of things. I mean, I'm excited to see Ezekiel

490
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: Elliott in year three, um, because I can't talk enough

491
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: about just how different I think this year is going

492
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: to be for him as opposed to all the stuff

493
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: he had to deal with, the controversy and the uncertainty

494
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: and the scrutiny and the I just I can't imagine

495
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: that last year it was terribly fun for him. And

496
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: he looks he looks focused, he looks looks fresh, he

497
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: looks fresh, He looks like he's in the best shape

498
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: of his life. They didn't waste his time by making

499
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: him play dumb preseason snaps. Um that bother any yell

500
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: at all, any concerns. It's awesome. Yeah. I said it

501
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: passive aggressively like that on purpose because it's kind of

502
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: been my drum to beat for the last three years. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Um.

503
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: I just I think he's gonna wreck the league. Honestly,

504
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: I really do. And I don't care that Travis Frederick's

505
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: not there. I mean, I would prefer it if he was.

506
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna be awesome. I think he's

507
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: gonna be more involved in the passing game. I think

508
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a four hundred Kerry type of workhorse

509
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: back who can do it all. And I'm excited to

510
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: see him do it. Um. Other than that, I'll let

511
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: somebody else talk. But Jalen Smith and Randy Gregory, I mean,

512
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: how could you not be excited to see what they

513
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: can do? Yeah? What about you? Nick? I don't think

514
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: this would have changed regardless of what the decision they made.

515
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, your first field goal, first extra point,

516
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna be looking at that, But that would have

517
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: been the case with Dan Still, you still want to

518
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: see that. I'll take the obvious. I mean, I just

519
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: think Randy Gregory can change everything what they're trying to

520
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: do in the back end at safety and and even linebacker,

521
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: and those guys can fly around the ball. If Cam

522
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: is having to step up into the pocket because ninety

523
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: and ninety four are coming off the edge, you know,

524
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: I think that that's not where he's the best. Now.

525
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: If he's running the ball, then that's that's pretty you know, tough.

526
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: But I mean him throwing on the run and all

527
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: that stuff. He's a good he's a great player. He's

528
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: been an MVP. I get that they're making him have

529
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: to throw on long situations. I think is where the

530
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to be in the best shape, and

531
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: I think ninety four gives him an opportunity. I'm excited

532
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: to see it. I said it, and I've even apologized

533
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: to him. I went up to him and apologize to him.

534
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: I did not ever think he was going to play

535
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: another snap, and if he plays this snap, I've already apologized.

536
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: He was appreciative of that. I just said, you know what,

537
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: a credit to you for doing it. And I'm proud

538
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: of what he's done, and it's a day by day

539
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: the journey for him. But if he's on that field,

540
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: I think it's better for the team. It's great for

541
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: him though. Yeah, I'm anxious to see Scott Linahan and

542
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: how he uses We talk about running the football, but

543
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: there's not who is the established wide receiver out there? Yeah?

544
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: You know, okay, say Cole Beasley is your established wide receiver?

545
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: How do you get him going? Last year? Teams coordinators

546
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: took him out of games. You know, Scott Linahan has

547
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: shown us the willingness to move him around. He always

548
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: also taken another shorter guy and tab on Austin and

549
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: put him on the outside and run him on some

550
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: routes down the field. He's been more of a down

551
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: the field player than at any point in his career.

552
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: But I'm interested to see how I kind of have

553
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: an idea what you're gonna get with Terrence Williams, but

554
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: I want to know what Michael Gallup is going to do.

555
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: Is this going to be wide receivers by committee? Is

556
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: it going to be game to game where one guy

557
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: has seven targets, five catches next week it's a different guy.

558
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how Scott Lindhand. Can he use

559
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: really a lot of unknown other than the running game.

560
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: Can he use unknown tight ends and an unknown receiving

561
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: crew to generate offense to generate points. Yes, it's gonna

562
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: be about running the football, but he's gonna have to

563
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: find a way to throw the ball as well. I

564
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: got a chance to talk to Steven Jones today for

565
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: an interview that will do we'll put out later in

566
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: the week and now he said it'll definitely be by

567
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: committee right now, but he says, you know, you never

568
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: know if a guy's gonna emerge. And the first name

569
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: he mentioned was Gallop. I mean, he just thinks that,

570
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: you know that that could be the guy because they

571
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: kind of know what they have in the other players,

572
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: but Gallops the one that has that upside that you

573
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: know that really could be a difference maker. I'm excited

574
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: to see what Deontay Thompson does though, if they use

575
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: them like that, and definitely what Tavan can do. Yeah,

576
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: do you think and I'll ask you this broad us

577
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: because you watch a lot of tape and they'll get

578
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: y'all kind of feedback, do you think that they're in

579
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: a position you know, everybody talked about they weren't creative

580
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: on offense and they ran the same Do they have

581
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: the personnel now and the route runners? And now you've

582
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: got you've got Zeke for a full season, and you're

583
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: not right every week if you he's gonna be there,

584
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: he's not. Do they have Do they have the personnel

585
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: to be able to be more creative on off they

586
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: had better route runners? And that's and that's I think

587
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be. And I think that a lot

588
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: of it says what san Jay Lyle has come in.

589
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: If you ask the guys, the receivers about and what

590
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: they've said, Hey, it's about more about technique. You remember

591
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: the first Ota practice we got to watch, it was

592
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: not one football was thrown to a wide receiver. It

593
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: was all about routes. It was about steps, it was

594
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: about planning, it was about turning, it was about coming

595
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: back to the ball, all those things. So, yeah, if

596
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: you get into a situation where all of a sudden,

597
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: it's second and four, second and five all day long,

598
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, and that's where you play to the strength

599
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: of Dak Prescott ball handler, you know, play action stuff.

600
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna get him and then you get

601
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: double moves on the outside, you get vertical stuff, you

602
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: get some you don't have to fit every slant in there.

603
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's got that was a problem for

604
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott last year. It came down to a lot

605
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: of third and seven throws and it was slant throws

606
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: and balls are getting knocked in the air, they're getting

607
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: knocked down, they're getting picked, sixed, all that stuff. So, yeah,

608
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: if you can get this thing to where it's second

609
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: and four, second and five all day, then you can

610
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: find a way to do that with the receivers. All

611
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're starting to cheat. You don't have safeties.

612
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: You know, safeties are having to play inside. Now you've

613
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: got more stuff on the outside. One on one, they're

614
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: gonna loosen these guys up with some throws down the field.

615
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: But again, the route running underneath in that intermediate area

616
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: I think will be really really good for this team. Yeah,

617
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: you brought up safety. You guys concerned at all? No,

618
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: feel great? They don't have any players who have ever

619
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: started a game. Yeah, awesome, I feel I feel this

620
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: is where I feel concerned. I feel concerned about if

621
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: they don't use Jeff Heath the right way. I think

622
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Heath is a down player. Is really where Jeff

623
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: Heath is now shown he could shine because if you

624
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: put him down in that and they play a lot

625
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: of that Nichol Steve and he has to play down,

626
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: you got him. Shawn Lee and Jalen Smith all run

627
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: into the football. If the ball stone underneath, they're gonna

628
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,239
Speaker 1: try and run. Give me three tackles. I don't need

629
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Heath playing at depth like Xavier Woods does and

630
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: run up and run up and run up and run up.

631
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: At the end of the game, he's got three tackles.

632
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: I don't need. I need Jeff Heath around the ball

633
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: where if something happens, if they do block Jaalen Smith,

634
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 1: if they do block, if they do block Shawn Lee,

635
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: Jeff Heaths there to kind of clean it up for

636
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: a three yard game, you know, I don't. I just

637
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: worry if if they're gonna play him, you know, because

638
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: of because of Frasier is better playing down than he

639
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: is playing back. So we'll see how that plays out.

640
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: I think that if you go back and look at

641
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: the best safeties, even the ones that you know from

642
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: Seattle a few years ago, from Pittsburgh with Pala Malo

643
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: from Edrey. I mean even even Darrenson, if you go

644
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: all the way back, you know, great safety typically have

645
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: a really good front fours up front, the guys that

646
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: are making the ball get out quickly and and hurt

647
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: rushing the throw. So it goes back to ninety four,

648
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: ninety you know, and in ninety seven Tacle Charlton and

649
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: you know those guys and Dorian's armstrong. You know, when

650
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: they're in the game, they need to have a good

651
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: rotation of getting you know, getting after their ass. I mean,

652
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: that's really what's gonna have to happen. And I think

653
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,239
Speaker 1: that's gonna help. That's the best friend any safety if

654
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: that happens. I just think for him, I think that's

655
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: a really good point. Nick. And if there's one reason

656
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: to feel optimistic, it's that this pass rush looks strong.

657
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: But I just think it's it's funny that, you know,

658
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: the line, the line of logic in the spring was that,

659
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, Tyron Matthew and Kenny Vaccaro and Trey Boston

660
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: like we're not good enough. Well, it's there. They weren't

661
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: the right kind of safety, you know, they weren't the

662
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: right kind. You didn't want to hear that, did you? Now?

663
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: I would settle for a safety who could play right now,

664
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't you? Seriously, I don't care if he's a free

665
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: or strong. Wouldn't you just wouldn't you just be happy

666
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: if you had a guy with a couple does and

667
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: starts under his belt. About a guy with an interception?

668
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: How about a guy with an NFL pick? How about

669
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: a guy with like their new guy doesn't have what?

670
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: Ibrahim Campbell? Campbell? Do you think the I would love

671
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: to be stuck in a situation where I'm like, oh, well,

672
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: thecar's not great at free, but at least he's started

673
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: forty five games. You feel like that they can cover

674
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: though the back end by playing that guy at death.

675
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: They did it with JJ Wilcox maybe I mean, I mean,

676
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying, but but they took they

677
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: started playing Wilcox at depth and then it became like, oh,

678
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: he's not making this many terrible plays. I'll go here

679
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: with you. I think they can get by until Xavier

680
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: Woods comes back. But when Xavier Woods comes back, what

681
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: do you got? Can you answer that for me? Like?

682
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: Do you feel great that it's just gonna magically. I

683
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: feel I feel better the fact that they're if they

684
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: can use Campbell instead of Robinson, you know, I feel

685
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: I feel better about that. At least Campbell's played game.

686
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I hear, I mean, and and to me, Robinson,

687
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: I think Robinson made his football team. Yeah, he had

688
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: a couple of good games and at a good practice

689
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: or two, I think, But I think if they had

690
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: someone better there, they would have they would have surely

691
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: made that move. I think they can get by, and

692
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: the pass rusher was going to help them get by.

693
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: But we've known they probably needed a safety since March.

694
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: And it's you know five the I mean, the game's here,

695
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: this is what it's gonna be, and I worry that

696
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: it's not good enough and they won't have anybody. We

697
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: don't know, we don't know. But the point, and that's

698
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: what I said all along, is even if you like

699
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods, you could use somebody else, either because if

700
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: he's not good or if he gets hurt. And he's

701
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: hurt right now, and I don't know if it's gonna

702
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: sink their defense. But when's the trade deadline? Week six? Yeah? No, okay,

703
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: And that's another conversation. No asking, Well, I'm asking because

704
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: nick have to have this conversation once a week. It's

705
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: on our it's in our contract. So they're not they're

706
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: not gonna give them away for free. No, but they're not.

707
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: They're ain't gonna let him go for nothing, which true

708
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: happens if agency. So you know, watching what they do

709
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: in week one, I wonder what they cut off here

710
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: is because after saying maybe after week one, maybe leading

711
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: into week two, but you know it's not gonna be

712
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: in week three. They're not gonna do it in week three.

713
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: What they're about to play him? They're gonna help help

714
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: us win, yeah, right, or you know, help us help

715
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: us get beat by You take the best safety and

716
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: we'll play this yea. I just have a feeling that

717
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: this guy's not gonna miss it. He might miss one game,

718
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: but is he But is he gonna? I mean, I

719
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: just don't see him leaving checks at his age. It's

720
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: two Tuesday night of game week and he's not in Seattle.

721
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: So but he can go all the way to Saturday,

722
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: and he's sure he can. Yeah, how many wins is

723
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: he worth? I think if you put him on okay,

724
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: seven Okay, that's two point five. Let me let me

725
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: ask you this, how many games is he worth if

726
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: Sean Lee's out? Because who holds his defense together? Who? Who?

727
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: Who is? Who is the accountable guy that went And

728
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's Jalen Smith, But this team, this is

729
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: why nick I would trade for this guy just for

730
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: the reason of when when Sean Lee is gone for

731
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 1: two or three games, the defense won't fall apart because

732
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: he won't allow it to fall apart. That's why I

733
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: think you need Earl Thomas and this team. In the

734
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: age of the salary cap, you can't have a badass

735
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 1: at all eleven positions on every side of the ball.

736
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: That's just not the way it works. But you need

737
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: a badass at every level of your defense. Yeah, they gotta.

738
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: They gotta crushed up the middle. You got a couple

739
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: of badass pass rushers. They got at least one badass linebacker.

740
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have any dbs that fit that.

741
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: The scol we'll see what the what the two corners

742
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: will do. I like the two young corners though, but

743
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: I mean Byron Jones. We we've talked about Byron Jones before.

744
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: His boy had a great training camp, great training game. Yeah,

745
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, and all of a sudden and Byron Jones

746
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: is just an okay player, you know, and that's that. Hey,

747
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: do you talk about things better than any I'm interested

748
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: to watch him, but I don't know. That's a great

749
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: point Brian about Earl, which is I'm not saying it's

750
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna happens. I've been betting this whole offseason that I

751
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: don't think it will. But if you want it to happen,

752
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: watch watch if he shows up to Seattle, because Seattle

753
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 1: is not gonna do anything with him until he proves

754
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: to them that he's willing to miss checks. So, yeah,

755
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: is he there on Sunday when they play Denver? Is

756
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: he there the next week? That's what's going to determine that,

757
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: Because if they get to week four and he's yeah,

758
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: and he's not helping them, maybe it's a little more

759
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: plausible than it is right now. You know, they could

760
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: have Can you imagine if that would have happened like Saturday,

761
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: like a trade? What the hell man they cut Dan Bailey?

762
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: Are they trade for old? Oh? Sorry? Day? All right,

763
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: this is the kicker, No big, this guy will be fine.

764
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: We got you know, they can't. They could soften the

765
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: blow there um, but you know it's a it's a stalemate.

766
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: They're not. No one's budging right now. But I agree

767
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: with you there. You know, if if he misses some

768
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 1: games and then they realize that's why I asked about

769
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, because they don't think. They don't want

770
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: him to go for nothing, you know, in free agency,

771
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: which is what will happen. So if if this thing

772
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: isn't looking well for them, and you know, there's people

773
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: I know and this is not I know John Snyder.

774
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: Well it's not coming from John Snyer, but I've talked

775
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: to other people and see at the Seahawks and they

776
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: there's half of that group that wants him gone and

777
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: another half it's like, we can't play without this guy

778
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: we got. And that's the problem that they're running into

779
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: right now, is not everybody is fully committed to moving

780
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: on from Earl Thomas. Now, I'll tell you this for

781
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: a fact. I know this. John Snyder wanted to move

782
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: on from Earl Thomas after he ran over to the

783
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: locker room at the end of the Sea East season

784
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: last year and gave Jason Garrett a hug and Pete

785
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: Carroll came out and said, well, wait a minute, No, No,

786
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: we're not going to do that. We're not going to

787
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: do that. I think Nicholas makes a really good point,

788
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: which is I mean, if it had to have happened

789
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: way earlier, it wasn't gonna happen if it hasn't happened

790
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: by now, and it's certainly not could have happened during

791
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: the draft. If they're on Buck at fifty, it had

792
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: to have happened way earlier, or now that we're this

793
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: late in the game, it's certainly gonna have to wait

794
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: until after the Seahawks play the cow You're not gonna

795
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: do that five days before and you put him in

796
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: a put him in a Cowboys uniform and fly him

797
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: back up to Seattle to beat you. I don't think so.

798
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying the door is closed. I think

799
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: it's very close to being closed. But it's something to watch,

800
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: at least for the month of September. Well, let's take

801

Speaker 1: let Beam on the show today. It's not a good

851
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: idea to talk crap about the people who like make

852
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: the show air. We let Beam on our show today.

853

856
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: His name is David David. Thank you, David. David needs

857
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: to get rid of old miss. I don't like a

858
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: sweater at all. I'm not gonnatroduce myself to David ntil

859
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: he takes that damn thing off well. James out here

860
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: and the audience had a great question while we were

861
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: at break. He wanted to know a little bit about

862
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: the game plan going into Carolina. Do you do you

863
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: have a safety shadow cam? Do you bring a safety

864
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: up in the box with with Zeke, how how defensively

865
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: how do you line up? And then how does that

866
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: kind of look to you getting And he also talked

867
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 1: about the offensive line kind of fatched up right now.

868
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: Just get a chance to look at them and yeah,

869
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: I did. What do you look at it for this game? Yeah? Preseason? Yeah,

870
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: I had to look at preseason stuff. I mean they

871
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: got they got up some new new bodies out there.

872
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: It's a team that runs a lot of uh, you know,

873
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: eleven personnel. Uh they do actually play with a fullback

874
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: at times. That's kind of a Nord Turner way of

875
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: doing things. But they've they've done a really good job,

876
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: you know with Cam even with even with the problems

877
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: that they had with the offense line of the preseason,

878
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: they still put Cam Newton back there and let him play.

879
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: And so they just you know, but they've got a

880
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: couple of like the left tackles out, they're gonna have

881
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: to do something there. I think when you're playing against Carolina, though,

882
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: the one thing you want to make sure you do is,

883
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: like Nick said, I don't let Cam Newton beat you

884
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: running out of the pocket. You know, he's such a

885
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: big guy that in these games people were getting to him,

886
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: tackling him or being on him and not getting him

887
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: on the ground, hitting him and he spins off, he

888
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: runs and then he gets a first down. You can't

889
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, when you're third down and you're trying to

890
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: get off the field, you can't miss tackles in the pocket.

891
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: You have a chance to bring him down. Bring him down.

892
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean, and I think you're good enough to what

893
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: we've seen with Jalen Smith. You know, when you're playing Nickel,

894
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith, Shawn Lee, those guys, if you want to

895
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: rush Jalen Smith, you're good enough. With Shawn Lee running

896
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: running Cam Newton down. You want somebody with some physicalness

897
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: that's able to tackle to play against him that way.

898
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: So that's what I do. I mean, if you could

899
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 1: get pressure, that's great. You take advantage of the left tackle.

900
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: We have to see who exactly they're going to start

901
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: there because Khalil got put on ir so they're they're

902
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: doing a lot of different things right now. I mean,

903
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: it's been a shuffle back and forth with some guys,

904
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: but I feel like when you look at them defensively,

905
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: you have to block Luke Keikley that that really is

906
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 1: the key and now now matchup you can lose. Inside though,

907
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: two is Kawan Short, you know, and if they put

908
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: him on Connor Williams, that's gonna be tough for the Cowboys.

909
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: That is going to be a tough matchup right there.

910
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: Don Terry Poe is a guy they got, you know,

911
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: from Atlantic. He's a big guy. He'll play. They play that, Yeah,

912
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: they play the one in the three. They've got some Yeah,

913
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: they do have some pass rushers though too. But I

914
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: worry about the inside matchup because of how short short

915
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: being his last name, how well he plays, how much

916
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: violence he plays. If Connor Williams is not up to

917
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: the task, this could be a tough day for the

918
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys if they want to run the football, especially with

919
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: Short in there making those plays. I don't want to

920
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: put you on the spot, Brian, but I've been curious.

921
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you're getting preseasons hard. I know, because our

922
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: team has barely shown anything in the preseason. But I'm curious.

923
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: You know, Calvin Benjamin's gone now, right, we haven't seen

924
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: the Panthers in three years. But you know you got

925
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: you got the new guy, DJ Moore, right, you got

926
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: Devin Funcius, right, you got a running back who's also

927
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: a receiver. And Christian mccathrey. Yeah, McCaffrey, he's he can

928
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: kill you. What is I can tell you right now?

929
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys are gonna play eleven and twelve personnel.

930
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna I mean, you're gonna see Jarwin and Swim.

931
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: You're gonna see Williams Beasley gallop and Hearns in some combination.

932
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: Like that's probably what it's gonna look like. What what

933
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: is the Panthers personnel of choice? I guess is that's

934
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 1: the short way of asking that question. To defend that, Yeah,

935
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: they'll play Nickel, that Captain Mumberland will play as to

936
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: Nick know what, defending them when they trot their receivers out.

937
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I see what You're gonna have to play Nickel.

938
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: You gonna have to because it depends on what they

939
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: how they treat greg Olson though, too, Yeah, I mean

940
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: is jet is greg Olsen? You know, he's really the

941
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: all world tied in for the him. Do you treat

942
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: him like a receiver or do you treat him like

943
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: a tight end because he plays detached, which meaning he

944
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: plays you know, away from the line. He's not a

945
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: true in line. Why you know. That's what they got

946
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: Ian Thomas for the rookie from Indiana. They got him

947
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: to play more down, but they'll use both those. They'll

948
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: play twelve personnel with its athletic twelve person Yeah, exactly.

949
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: So big receivers, big receivers. And you're right because Dj

950
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: Moore is a guy that it's kind of their speed guy.

951
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: And they also have Curtis Samuel, but it sounded like

952
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel has a heart he got Yeah, you're gonna

953
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: miss this game because he had a heart procedure for

954
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: to handle that. So good for the Cowboys that way.

955
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: Because this kid has got a ton of speed. He

956
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: was a running back at Ohio State. They've converted him

957
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. It looks like he's made the transition.

958
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: But it's a group with really big receivers. Cam will

959
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: throw the ball up. You got to be able to

960
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: play physical on the line with these guys. You got

961
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: to bang them. I wouldn't worry so much about their speed.

962
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: I would worry more about their ability to play the

963
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: ball in the air. And I would worry about Olson.

964
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: I know people say, ah, he's ancient, but you watch

965
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 1: him in the preseason though, they still throw the football

966
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: to him on that drag stuff, the intermediate stuff underneath

967
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: stuff still has ability to make those plays. Kind of

968
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: wish the Cowboys had an ancient tight end right now.

969
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: I say Jason Winton was pretty ancient and you could

970
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: still count on him for six to ten receptions a game.

971
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: Speaking of I'm glad y'all brought that up. How are

972
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: they gonna use it? We talked about receivers by committee.

973
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: Probably are they gonna do the same thing at tight

974
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: end or Swam gonna be your guy? And then the

975
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: other guys fill in, like how's how's the tight end

976
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: positions going to work at Swam and Jar went in

977
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: that order, and then I think it's gonna be interesting

978
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: to see what happens with with this first one with

979
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: with the Schultz or Rico. I guess they could keep

980
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: them both active. Um, you think they're going to a

981
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: game with four active tight ends. I just you know,

982
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: Garrett didn't rule it out. I'll be interested. The great

983
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: thing about being at the Star is we work in

984
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: this building and you can kind of hear what's happening

985
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: at lunch you know, with what's going on. So if

986
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 1: you start to hear that, Okay, well they're going with Schultz,

987
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: he's getting far more reps, then there's a chance if

988
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: he'll be active. But I'm I'm I'm going to bet.

989
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to bet that there's gonna be a split

990
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: reps between those guys and whoever practice is really the

991
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: best or they feel like can help them in this

992
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: game as a blocker and as a receiver will be

993
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: that guy that dresses on Sunday. And I think we'll

994
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: find out before that because you know, you don't get

995
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: to see a lot of practice, but they do work

996
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,720
Speaker 1: on some special teams things, right you see who's who's

997
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: actually doing scout team special teams and who and if

998
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 1: you see one of them just on the regular punt

999
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: team or kick kick team, you know that that could

1000
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: that could tell you you know what's going to happen

1001
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, that's a real trick of the trade

1002
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: right there. It's like something you only appreciate if you

1003
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: cover this team. But like Friday practice, it's the chilliest practice.

1004
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: There's no pads, there's nothing going on, but you can

1005
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 1: learn a lot about what's going to happen onok yeah,

1006
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: you're just just watch, just watch the punt team. Who's

1007
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: on the punt team and who's standing over with their

1008
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 1: helmet off. And you're you're like, okay, Rico's playing. Yeah,

1009
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: you're like where it's twenty you know, twenty three, and

1010
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: they're like, he's got a yellow beanie on it. He's

1011
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: not playing, he's out. He's an actor. Yep. What would

1012
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: you guys do with Rico? Would you let him play?

1013
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: He's earned the right too, every Yeah, he's earned the right.

1014
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna put him on the fifty three. Just let

1015
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: him go. That he might he might make a player

1016
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: two in the game. You don't expect it might be.

1017
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 1: You know, you're fighting for your inches in this game

1018
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden something Yeah, no, I'm just laughing.

1019
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Brian, you're making a good point out. No,

1020
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you're fighting for inches in the game. Maybe

1021
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: you're not running the ball well, and all of a

1022
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: sudden you throw the ball to Rico and he makes

1023
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: a circus catch and kind of get your offense going.

1024
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: You know, he makes a key third down in seven

1025
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: catch and you know, boom, there you go. So you're

1026
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: on Monday morning, you know, talk radio, and they got

1027
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: those like twelve lines that are all, what's gonna light

1028
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: it up more? Oh God, you're your kicker misses two

1029
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: field goals or it's third and two in a game

1030
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: you lose. It's third and goal from the two, and

1031
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: Zeke is like and they go fake to him, and

1032
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: I faded up to Ricco and he kind of, you know,

1033
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:06,760
Speaker 1: funs it too early and it's incomplete and they that's

1034
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 1: after that. So the combination there, when Zeke's sitting there like,

1035
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry maveraging six yards to carry it, is that

1036
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: I think I think people will be more critical of

1037
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: the kicker, that this is everybody loves Rico's not everybody,

1038
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: but even even everybody but the fan fans fans. Look,

1039
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think that's even true about

1040
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: the fans. I think of a lie, but I think

1041
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: there's a fan. You know, when we put Ricco in

1042
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: the headline, it true doesn't mean you you know, I

1043
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: feel bad for the kicker because if he doesn't make

1044
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: the first twenty in a row now he is going

1045
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: to be one of the most hated players in the

1046
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: last twenty years. He does he has done nothing to

1047
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: deserve nothing, nothing twenty in a row. Well, no, maybe not, Well,

1048
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: he got to make the first If he misses his

1049
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: first kick in the first three or four games of

1050
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: the year, his first kick, right, yeah, if he misses

1051
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: his first kick, he'd better be like Dan Bailey because

1052
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: he missed the nineteen yard or. And then you're like, Okay,

1053
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,720
Speaker 1: the guy's gonna be cut. I don't care what happened.

1054
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: He like, well, he made a fifty yard or in

1055
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: the win to force overtime. And then because Jesse Holly

1056
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: got caught at the one, you got to kick the

1057
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: game winner. I'll talk about my cover for a co

1058
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: hosts like that, he made a great play. Uh no, hey,

1059
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: as long as I got as long as I got

1060
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: the personnel guy over here, I want your honest opinion

1061
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: on this because I'll have a chip from my perspective.

1062
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 1: There just has to be away that you can get

1063
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: Rico involved in this, right, Like, hey, protect the edge

1064
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: on punt team, protect the edge on field goal team.

1065
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: You're a big athletic dude that can keep an end

1066
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: from coming around and blocking the kick. And then well

1067
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 1: we'll drop up six or seven things you can do

1068
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: in the red zone. How many times? How hard is that?

1069
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 1: How many times do they play with guys who didn't

1070
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: play special teams last year in games? Yeah, you'll get

1071
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: those linebackers, you know, all those I mean, Jalen Smith

1072
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: didn't play special teams. Who's the guy we brought back

1073
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: that for the third time? That the linebacker? I always

1074
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: forget his name. Is he still on the team. No,

1075
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: he's the guy they did Martin Azacha, No, no, anyway,

1076
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: Oh now I want Yeah, every I always forget Justin

1077
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: Durrant's name, which is but he didn't play special teams? Yeah,

1078
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: I mean they went around none of the running The

1079
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: only running back they played special teams was was Smithy.

1080
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: They dressed. Uh okay, so you're helping me make Morris.

1081
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: I mean no, I'm trying to tell you that's why

1082
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: they would do it. Just put him in the game.

1083
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: When you get the ball to the twenty five. If

1084
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: you got seven linebackers, probably six some, we're gonna dress

1085
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah, you've got enough special teams players dress. Rico, Like,

1086
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: why even put him on the team if you're not

1087
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: willing to do it? No way, Dave. Yeah, So I

1088
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to happen, but I hope.

1089
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to count inactives all week and I

1090
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: keep thinking, on it's only Tuesday. I mean, I'm trying

1091
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: to think who's going to be the inactives? But I'm like,

1092
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: that's usually a Thursday or Friday thing. What's the deal

1093
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: and the what's the deal with the numbers that's going on? Um? Yeah,

1094
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: Jersey numbers change? Yeah, yeah, what's going on? That's really

1095
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know that about DeMarcus Lawrence. Marcus Lawrence, Well,

1096
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: we knew seventy four Dorns Armstrong. We knew he was

1097
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: gonna make the team. We also knew that he was

1098
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: not gonna be in seventy four because Bob Lily will

1099
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: always be the only one to have that. So we

1100
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: thought maybe he'd get into the nineties. And he moved

1101
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: to fifty eight, and Antoine Woods had ninety two and

1102
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: Daniel Ross was like ninety three. Anyways, they cut Charles

1103
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: Tapper today and DeMarcus Lawrence said, listen, we're all gonna

1104
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: be in the nineties here. You know, we need to

1105
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: be together on this. So he's he basically told Armstrong,

1106
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: you need to get up to ninety two, and it

1107
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: kind of moved Antoine Woods to ninety nine. And I

1108
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: think Ross is now in ninety three. And I like

1109
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,399
Speaker 1: that because I mean, yeah, they're the hot boys, yeah,

1110
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: which they've been putting it off all through training camp.

1111
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: But the first thing I'm asking Tank or Taco or

1112
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: whoever when they talk this week is all right, who

1113
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: are the hot boys now? Like? Who's Manny Fresh, Who's Juvenile?

1114
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: Who's Birdman? Who's Wayne? I just need to know. I've

1115
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: wanted to know since July, and I they gotta tell

1116
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: us they have to DAYTONA Jones is not in the nineties.

1117
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 1: Good number. Yeah, I think that there's dayton Jones. I'm

1118
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: going to carry him too. Just confused whether or not

1119
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: he's on the team, because I've heard it three different

1120
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 1: ways since this morning. On the team they're going to

1121
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: carry him. Yes, it appears that that is true. Last

1122
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: question before we get out of here. We got a

1123
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: few minutes left. You guys concerned it all about the

1124
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: quarterback position. You're good with where they're at. I'm good

1125
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: with the quarterback is as long as they're able to

1126
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: do things offensively that help him running the football. I

1127
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: don't want to put it all on him again, not

1128
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: with not with the receivers, not with the unknown receivers,

1129
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: really the unknown tight ends. You know, I don't. I

1130
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: don't want to do that again. I you know, Let's

1131
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: people are probably gonna get a little frustrated with Scott

1132
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 1: Linahan running it, running it, you know, running it again,

1133
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. But look what, Look

1134
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: what worked for them in twenty sixteen. That's the that's

1135
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: the recipe you need. You need Dak Prescott the ball handler,

1136
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: you know that thing, the simple passes, things he can throw.

1137
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: Don't put a lot of pressure on him to have

1138
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: to make throw after throw after throw after throw. The

1139
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City game plan, the way they won that football

1140
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: game was impressive. Be a good team that had a

1141
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: good offense, good defense, played as probably the most complete

1142
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: game they played all year. That's the kind of game

1143
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: plans they need every week. If the team and maybe

1144
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to bail Dack out, but if the

1145
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: team around him is healthy, if his left tackles there,

1146
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: if the center of his line can hold without Travis Frederick,

1147
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: and if his all pro running back is there, I

1148
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be great. I do not think he

1149
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: is ready to carry a team by himself the way

1150
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson can. But if his

1151
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: supporting cast is okay, I think he can play at

1152
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: a pro Bowl level, and I think he will. He's

1153
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: done it when that has been the case for his

1154
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: entire career. He has played great. His quarterback rating was

1155
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: one on one as a rookie, and it was in

1156
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: that category before everybody bailed on him in November of

1157
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: last year. I think he's gonna be fine. He's a

1158
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: mentally tough dude. He's a confident dude. I don't know

1159
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: if it means that the Cowboys are gonna get to

1160
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but I think Dak Prescott is going to

1161
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: be the least of this team worries. I think, you know,

1162
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: it's his show. He's got to be good. I mean,

1163
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: they they you know that they've said all along that

1164
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna part ways with the you know,

1165
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: the best, one of the best receivers in franchise history,

1166
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: and and because of Dak, and we're gonna make this

1167
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: a Dak's team, and um, you know, they didn't go

1168
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: out and get some high profile tied in after we

1169
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: know went and left. They didn't really didn't have a

1170
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: choice there. But they're they're putting us, you know, a

1171
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: lot on him, and so there's really no more excuses

1172
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: for him. I'm not saying that there ever was. But

1173
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 1: he's not the young quarterback anymore. It's his show. He's

1174
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: got to go do it. They got good pieces around him.

1175
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: I think he can, but but I mean it's you know,

1176
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: if he's gonna face he's gonna face the heat. You know,

1177
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: he's no longer than that young guy. He's gonna face

1178
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: the heat if it doesn't go well. But that's being

1179
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback in Dallas. That's what happens. Last question before

1180
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: we get out of here, said, well, I I made

1181
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: it up. We got a couple of minutes of that host.

1182
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,879
Speaker 1: What do you expectations for the season. Oh, just okay, Yeah,

1183
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: let's just do it. Let's get it out there on

1184
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: this show, I expect. I saw somebody else. I was

1185
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: looking at something from the Panthers and I saw that

1186
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: they did this with different guys, and one of their

1187
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: media guys said somewhere between nine and eleven wins. I'm like, well,

1188
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: that's cool. That's nice and convenient. Now, way to go

1189
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: out on a limb. Yeah, I kind of think the

1190
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: same for Dallas. I'm gonna go ten wins. I'm not

1191
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna change on that. Ten wins, and I think ten

1192
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: wins I think they get them in the playoffs. But

1193
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,320
Speaker 1: you know what you gotta you gotta win certain games,

1194
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: and at Carolina in Week one is one of those

1195
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: certain games because they're gonna be sitting right there as well,

1196
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: and to have that tiebreaker over them is gonna be big.

1197
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: I think I think they're that type of team. That's

1198
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: why not to go back to what we said. I

1199
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: don't think it's a must win, but it is a

1200
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: but you better win. You better go get this win.

1201
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be in the conversation because they

1202
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: always have been. Twenty fifteen is the only year of

1203
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett's tenure where they haven't been in contention for

1204
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: a playoff spot. Um, I don't know if they make it.

1205
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,439
Speaker 1: I don't think they will right here before the season starts,

1206
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: But that's that's really not an indictment of them. I

1207
00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 1: just think the world of the NFC. I think the

1208
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: Saints Falcons Panthers are all strong. I think the Vikings

1209
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: might be the most stacked team in the league. The

1210
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: Rams have added an ungodly amount of talent. Aaron Rodgers

1211
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: is still in Green Bay. Last I checked, Eagles only

1212
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: got better. The Eagles are the reigning champs. I mentioned

1213
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,439
Speaker 1: the reigning champs eighth on that list. The Bears got better.

1214
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is still there. Rusty Russell Wilson is still there.

1215
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't see them making the playoffs, but I think

1216
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a good team. I think they're gonna

1217
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: go nine and seven. I just think this is a

1218
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: tough year to be in the NFC. Yeah, yeah, I

1219
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: think nine wins and I think it's gonna be very,

1220
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: very tough they I am worried about the NFC South.

1221
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: I said it to open the show. I think if

1222
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: you find a way to navigate that play well within

1223
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: your own division, you got a shot. But I look

1224
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: at nine and seven, I don't think that they're gonna

1225
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, and I think at the end of

1226
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: the year they're gonna talk about making a change at

1227
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: the head coach. Ah Bryan brought us never pulling punches.

1228
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: There you go well man, this has been a lot

1229
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: of fun. Fellows. Now, this was great. Thanks to Concrete

1233
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,760

00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: drawing it. We did our tour. Huh, we'll see. We'll
