Now we recorded it yesterday. Um, 10 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: before the Amari Cooper may play news. UM, and I 11 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: gotta be honest like Clarence is a straight shootor I've 12 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: known him for a while. I've had him on my 13 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: radio show a ton There is some consternation in Dallas 14 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: right now about this game, because, folks, it is the 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: start of a three game road road trip for Dallas. 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: You know that's not often in the NFL all that 17 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: you have to play back to back to back road games, 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: and it's coming on the heels of the three games 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: in twelve days. Given the Thanksgiving more ass and of 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: course Amari Cooper's COVID and Mike McCarthy's got COVID, like 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: Dallas is in a tough spot. All that being said, 22 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: I kind of like Dallas here. We'll talk about in 23 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: the Best Bet later, but um, I think I like Dallas. Um, 24 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: this is a perfect spot. Everybody's doubting Dallas and I 25 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: think they probably show up here. But we'll get to 26 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: that in the Best Bet and Clarence Hills shortly quickly. 27 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: It was not a huge sports Day Wednesday, but but 28 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: big butt off our Tuesday interview with um Dan Wilkin 29 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: of USA Today's Sports. You know, we talked about the 30 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: idea of Notre Dame either going Luke Fickle or with 31 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman, and a lot of you probably have, even 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: college football fans have no idea who Marcus Freeman is. 33 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he had a cup of coffee in the 34 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: NFL with the Bears and a couple of other team 35 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: But he was a big time high school football player 36 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: in Ohio, like Parade, All American, and he's one of 37 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: these guys who the young players get like. He crushes 38 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: it in recruiting. UM, and he's a great coach. So 39 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: he was at Cincinnati for a minute, and last year 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: he interviewed at l s U for the defensive coordinator job, 41 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: and he interviewed a Notre Dame and it was it 42 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: was an interesting spot because you know at Oseron and 43 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: just won a title of the prior year or two 44 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: years prior, and you know Notre Dame, you know, was 45 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: it obviously a Marquis school and Brian Kelly has been 46 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: there for a while. But you know, he chose Notre 47 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: Dame over L s U according to multiple reports. And 48 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: look at how incredible that worked out for him. You know, 49 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: life always has these forks in the road where you 50 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: pick this avenue and this is where it takes you 51 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: in life, and then you take the other one, and 52 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: this kind of what happens. Um, you know you could 53 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: do that. What is it? Is it called sliding doors? Um? 54 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: I always joke with my buddies that I actually met 55 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: my wife the uh the night of the Aaron Boone 56 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: home run game Yankees Red Sox way back in the 57 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: day in New York City at a bar. And what 58 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: if we I mean we weren't like set up or anything, 59 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: but what if she had not gone into the bar 60 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: that night like and and I got her number? Then 61 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: I don't you just never know where life takes you. 62 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: And obviously you know it panned out for us. Here 63 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: we are a long time later and several cities later, 64 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: and a couple of kids and all that fun stuff. 65 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: But Marcus Freeman at thirty five years old, well he's 66 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: gonna turn thirty six in January, but he's going to 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: be the new new Notre Dame head football coach. Now, 68 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: the Irish usually, I'd say usually, because I tried to 69 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: look at their history, I can't remember the last time 70 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: they hired a first time head football coach. Somebody tried 71 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: to tell me it was Bob Davy and that did 72 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: not work out well. But we'll see how this experiment goes, 73 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: and and we'll can put it pretty smart, which we 74 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: should have read into, was if Notre Dame does not 75 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: make Freeman the guy, they're gonna lose him because he's 76 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: just in two. I mean, he was just in demand 77 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: and he's gonna he's gonna get a job somewhere, and 78 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how that's gonna work out 79 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: for a young guy. I know he's highly thought of 80 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 1: and everybody likes him, but this is the head football 81 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: coach at Notre Dame, one of the most popular programs 82 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: in the country. There's a lot on his plate now 83 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: he is an Ohio State guy. Uh, enter your Ohio 84 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: State jokes here. Oh yeah, fill in for Ryan Day 85 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: in ten years. Um, but at that thoughts off of 86 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: the biggest news in sports. Not a lot happening. Listen, 87 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: college basketball. It's a decent week for college hoops. It's 88 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: a decent week for the NBA, as as they all are. 89 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend time about Janice versus LaMelo 90 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: ball and a great gab was fantastic. I mean folks like, yeah, 91 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: I bet on the Bucks. Yeah that and cover Yello 92 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: Melo was really good. Okay, you know he's turning the page. 93 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: They gotta run it back the next day. I mean, 94 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: I'd sooner rather tell you about, uh my pickup basketball 95 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: game Wednesday, which was intense. Um, great basketball was playing 96 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: and also some really bad poor basketball, but it was awesome. 97 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: I just love it. By the way, the outdoor game 98 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: we've had for a long time. You know, the weather 99 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: is not great now, a lot of fog out here, 100 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: but in the beach cities, Um, I think we're gonna 101 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: take it indoor here. In short, order. I know you 102 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: guys love to hear my um pick up basketball updates. 103 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: I did not shoot particularly well. I think in the 104 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: first game I started over nine. Yes, that's real. I 105 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: don't mind being honest with you. But then I had 106 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: a big, big, big, big, big three late. Um, and 107 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: yeah it was a big three pointer, but it was 108 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: It's fun. I just love playing pick up basketball, love 109 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: just being competitive, and um, you know I love gambling. 110 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: So uh no, I don't gamble and pick up basketball game. 111 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to our guest, Clarence Hill of 112 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: the four Worth Star Telegram. Jason likes to think he 113 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: knows everything when it comes to sports. I know what 114 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: sports fans want, but for everything he doesn't. He knows 115 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: a guy who does. Let's just say I know a 116 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: guy who knows a guy who knows another guy. Let's 117 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: welcome into straight fire. A guy who knows the Dallas 118 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys as well as anybody. And this is a team. 119 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: They got a big game this week, they've lost three 120 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: or four. Clarence Hill firing on social media, getting the 121 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys fan base all riled up. Clara's how are you man, 122 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: well man, how are you doing man? They're they're they're 123 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: robbed up. You know. This is I've said it last week. 124 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: I've never seen a team uh pulled the rug a 125 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: from under their fans so much of the last twenty 126 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: five years. But it's just like it's always to get 127 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: them excited, then the bottom falls out, and and that 128 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: is potentially the case right now. They're really they've lost 129 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: their last four and lost two straight. They're not looking 130 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: good now. They faced this must win game against the 131 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: Saints with the head coach and COVID you know, and 132 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: several other coaches in COVID. COVID, right is the US 133 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: win game. Everybody thought the East was locked up, you know, 134 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: and now they have a precarious two game lead over 135 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: to Washington football team and they still have to play 136 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: Washington twice uh in the month of December. Now, um, listen, 137 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: I don't like talking about COVID. People get all riled 138 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: up and fire. I mean, it's just it's a divisive topic. 139 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: Of that being said Clarence, it's a Marie Cooper thing. 140 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to point fingers, but we've seen guys 141 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: who who were had tested positive after the vacts and 142 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: they maybe missed a game, but we don't know how 143 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna bounce back. And with we've seen the splits 144 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: for Dak Prescott without a Marii Cooper, they ain't pretty right, No, 145 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: nor Cooper makes all the difference world for Prescot. You 146 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: know you can he should give him having that contract 147 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: because if you look at where he was before the 148 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,119 Speaker 1: trade and where he's been since the trade, his career 149 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: just turned off with the addition of Mark Cooper. Uh 150 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: got his COVID in a stretch within three games and 151 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: twelve days. Is three games and twelve days because I 152 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: think the you know, Thanksgiving days stretch they play Chance 153 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: City and playing UH Raiders four days later, and then 154 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: seven days later they're playing the Saints, so that that's 155 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: why it's kind of but still, you know, Ben Roethlisberger 156 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: came back within seven days. I mean, but he was vaccinated. 157 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: And we can say all you want to and we 158 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: can crab blue in your face. Yes, vaccinated players can 159 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: get COVID. Most of the players have gotten COVID vaccine. 160 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: But the the issue is doing everything you can't to 161 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: prevent getting COVID. Jerry Jones make McCarthy have talked about 162 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: the importance of vaccine as far as the community, as 163 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: far as the team concept. All right, let's move on 164 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: to McCarthy and COVID. We've seen other head coaches get it, 165 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: and the fan base is like, well, this is a 166 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: win Naggi has. That's too positive. He's off the sideline. 167 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: We get to get creative and fun. Where are people 168 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: on McCarthy. Is he getting a lot of blame for 169 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: this three three losses in the last four games, because 170 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: I mean they were six and one, and I didn't 171 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: hear anybody complaining. There was six and one, there was 172 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: seven and two, and everybody was talking about Operation Los Angeles. 173 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: They're booking their trips, and you know it's all about 174 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: we gotta worried about the packer. We gotta worry about 175 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. And you know we got, you know, the 176 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,239 Speaker 1: home feeling advantage. They you know, we need home feel advantages. 177 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: And now they're scaring and scuffling, you know, to uh 178 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 1: keep their leading in the seast. And right now he's 179 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: not getting any of the blame. Uh, you know, they're 180 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: it's just like anique situation. You've got the injuries, you 181 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: got you know, uh, you know, the COVID stuff, and 182 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: and that's the time we live, and you look at 183 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: across the league, the Cardinals, the Vikings, Uh, the COVID 184 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: spike in November is affecting everybody, you know, and it's 185 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: across the like you look at the numbers across the 186 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: league and they're more and more players who who have 187 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: gotten COVID. I don't know if you can point to 188 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: Mike mccarth to be the reason why they went seven too, 189 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, because you know everybody was hailing, you know, 190 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore on offense and we're healing Dad pointing the defense, 191 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: and Kellen Moore's been a new head coach. You know. 192 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: Now they've lost three or four. Let's not put that 193 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: on Mike McCarthy. Let's put that on that the office 194 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: has been offul. The office have been offul, and that 195 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: defense was off Get the Raiders. Okay, speaking of the offense, 196 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of Ezekiel Ellio. This 197 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: is the stat that I just again just looking at 198 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: the big picture. They have not had a one yard 199 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: rusher since October, and Zeke Elliott's carries have gone down significantly. 200 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: He's he's hurt. He's hurt. There's no question about that. 201 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: He's hurt. He's he's been bothered by a knee injury 202 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: since the Carolina game. They're trying to get tone in 203 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: Polar more touches. They reduced Ellie's workload. He's only had 204 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: nine carres. It needs the last two games. You know, 205 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: they're trying to manage it, you know, hopefully get you know, 206 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: at you know, past this game and you have a 207 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: little break before they play Washington, UH next weekend. But 208 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's something he's gonna have managed the rest 209 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: of the season. But but exactly, Elliott is not the 210 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: same back as he was at the beginning of the 211 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: season because he's hurt.

Right. So, 216 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: Zeke's hurt, We're looking around the rest of the league. 217 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is hurt again, Christian McCaffrey played three games 218 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: hurt again, Derrick Henry out for the season. Nick Chubb's 219 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: miss time. I just wonder has the Dallas strategy of 220 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: building around Zeke and Zeke being the focal point. We 221 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: know Jerry Jones loves him. Are we willing to put 222 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: that to bed and just say, listen, he's gonna break 223 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: down at some point all running backs do, well. I mean, 224 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: it's I'm a I'm a player guy, you know, And 225 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say I think players should get paid 226 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: and get all they can and and and and I'm 227 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: will always side when the players getting their money, because 228 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: we know the owners are gonna get their money, and 229 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: they get their money, and and I guess from a 230 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: organizational standpoint, how do you build? I just think god 231 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: should be rewarded for what they've done, and and Zeke 232 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: deserved his money for what he's done. And you know 233 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: you can and and so. But there's the reality of 234 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: the running back position and running back breaking down. I 235 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: don't know if it was. You know, it's funny because 236 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: you know, I'm old school, and and I remember you 237 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: know him it rushing for NFL record rushing yards. You know. 238 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he broke down after six years, you know, 239 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: But now we can't pay running back because they're done 240 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: after five years. I don't remember the Eric Dickinson's and 241 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: all those guys being done after four or five years. 242 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: You know, they carred way more than these guys carried. Now. 243 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: The rules were much different. Now, It's like, what just 244 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: you don't invest in running back because they're gonna break 245 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: down after four or five years. I don't I guess 246 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,599 Speaker 1: I don't want to buy. I think some of this 247 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: stuff that just happens stance, you know. I I have 248 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: no problem with tendency of paying the running back. I 249 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: think he's gonna be fine for the next three or 250 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: four years. And they stood him. He's been. He deserves 251 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: everything he's gotten. Zick is everything he's gotten, you know. 252 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: And Christopher character was book all Carolina had to invest 253 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: in with what Cam was breaking down, and he was 254 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: their entire offense. You know, So some of that is 255 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: at work, but you know, you have to look at 256 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: the reality of of of top running backs and and 257 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: and and what they mean to building a team and 258 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: building offense. And it's filling in today's passing age. But 259 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, for that is not getting paid. But I 260 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: think he's important to what Tappa Bay is doing down there, 261 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: you know. But it's it's it's only an issue when 262 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: you start getting paid. It's not insue you're not getting 263 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: paid is not an issue, you know. But running game 264 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: is very important to the team's success. And you look 265 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: at the Cowboys when they were successful, when that was successful, 266 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: when it's offense was successful. Even this year they had 267 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 1: the number one rushing attack of the league. They were 268 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: running the ball well and it was setting up things. 269 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: They have not run the ball well. If you look 270 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: at you know their problems and losing three of the 271 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: last four games. They're averaging three or four five year 272 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: off The character running game has gone south. Is that 273 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: Zeke's fathers, that Tony Paula's falled, is that the scheme 274 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: has falled, that how teams are now defending them. The 275 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: offensive line is not being good. It's not just the 276 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: running backs, but the running game is important to what 277 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys do on offense. What you want to say 278 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: they're putting too much in Zeke or whoever it is, 279 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: running the ball is important to their success in the 280 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: passing game, to why they were scoring so many points, 281 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: why they were such a wide open offense. I don't 282 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: think it's a it's about one person, but but it's 283 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: certainly it's about the running game. I am curious you know, 284 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: the more I listened to you, it almost sounds clearance 285 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: like this three losses in four game hiccup. A lot 286 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: of it has to do with schedule and just unlucky 287 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: injuries COVID. I mean, when between the COVID and the 288 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: Zeke injury and three games in twelve days like this 289 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: is just like should we say this is an outlier? 290 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: Are they Are they really a six and one team 291 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: or is this recent stinky stretch more closer to what 292 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: this Cowboys team is? I mean, what is Tennessee right now? 293 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean you garbage garbage tennis? What was Buffalo when 294 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: they lost to Jexonville. You know, it's like this league, 295 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: this season is funky, you know when it's been a 296 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: funky season. Aragon the only one I would say that 297 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: has has handled things better than most, you know, certainly 298 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: win a two or the three games without you know, 299 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: Kylin Murray. But yeah, I mean the Cowboys and the 300 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: Cowboy fans want to say this is just a bad stretch, 301 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: you know, and then to get some unluckiness. But you know, 302 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: typ excuses over. You know, you gotta says Keen Ting 303 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: has lost four straight games playing with the backing quarterback. Yeah, 304 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: you don't have your coach, but you do have your 305 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: quarterback and you do have you know, you do have 306 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: the book of your players out there. You should win 307 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: this game. You know, you call it a bast stretch 308 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: all you want to, but you know you you should 309 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: win this game. Arizona one without their coach. You know, 310 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: you have your quarterback. You you you have your defense. Uh, 311 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: your your office line is pretty much in tech. I 312 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: mean right tackle. Uh, Terrence still is not playing by 313 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: Leo Collins has replaced him. He's been the starter there 314 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: for the last four years. So it's not like it's 315 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: it's a it's a letdown. So you got the book 316 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: of your offensive lines there, you got your running backs, 317 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: you got ceedee lamb z times out for excuses for 318 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: the I was and they got to get this thing 319 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: doing because again, it's not just about winning the NFC East. 320 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: To get in the playoffs is about, you know, trying 321 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: to be a superpoke contended for the first time. You know, 322 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: since they haven't done with they were all excited about 323 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Their players are once talking super Bowl. Earlier 324 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: in the season, Amari Cooper, you know that fresh guy Zeke. 325 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: They were talking about this is the special team. We 326 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: have something special going on. Well, it ain't gonna be easy. 327 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: Everything gonna be small. You got us to learn how 328 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: to win ugly, and that's what you have to do. Now. 329 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of schedule, I just also noticed Clarence three straight 330 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: road games ahead, which is a stretch that not a 331 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: lot of people have. Now. I know, it's uh New Orleans, Washington, 332 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: New York, not exactly, you know, a killer threesome of teams. 333 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: That being said, two of these games Washington, New York 334 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: are outdoors in what will probably be crappy weather in 335 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: the Northeast in the middle of December. Is it okay? 336 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: Should we just say that Dallas cannot get home field 337 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: a vantager or do you think they're still in the 338 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: mix for that. No, they're not in the band. They 339 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: just need to win the division. You know, anyone in 340 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: the division that get one home playoff game. But I mean, 341 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: they just need to take care of business. We need 342 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: to you know, the Cowboy fans. Everybody's talking about own 343 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: Phil advantage. Let that go. Y'all need to write yourself, 344 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: get yourself right, you know, start winning some games, Win 345 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: some games, and then you can talk about that again. 346 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: You have Arizona at the end of the season. You know, 347 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: if if if something's inn't play with you know, you know, 348 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: we'll see. But they have to get right and and 349 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: you you say that they're crappy teams, but New Orleans 350 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: is tough at home. They do have the number one 351 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: right run defense. This will not be an easy game 352 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: Thursday night, you know, and then you have to play 353 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: at Washington and at the Giants, and you know they're 354 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: all you know watching, you know, Washing deep It is 355 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,239 Speaker 1: pretty good. You know, we can say what you want 356 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: about Washing, but that Deepen is pretty good. You saw 357 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: that the other night. The way they just shutting down 358 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: a bad seattle of the Seattle was awful. But but 359 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: but they could do nothing. Washing Deepens pretty good. They're 360 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: playing hard. Uh so you know this is a stretch, 361 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: you know, if they want to end the division and 362 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: and and and all that stuff to rest start winning 363 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: some games, you know when this week and win next week. 364 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: We'll do that briefly from the glass half full perspective, 365 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: because I know I sound negative. Clarence uh DeMarcus Lawards 366 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: hasn't played forever. Randy Gregory, who was incredible, has been 367 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: on i R. There is still like, wait a minute, 368 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: we're let's not say this guy's falling. We're seven and four. 369 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: We've got our our guilble are two best defenders coming 370 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: off i R. Uh Zeke's gonna get better, uh CD 371 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: Lamb and Cooper will return. Like there is a glass 372 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: half full aspect of this right now. There's no question 373 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: about that. You you know, they do have guys coming back. 374 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: They do that, Jared, like you said, the cavalry is 375 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: on the come. You know the cavalry is coming. You know, 376 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: got DeMarcus Lawrence coming back from the Saints game. You're 377 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: gonna have Randy Gregory and Neville Gallimore and some other 378 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: guys coming back after that for the Washington game, and 379 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: certainly you have Cooper city Lamb're gonna play this week. 380 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: So you're gonna get healthy. But you know, it's it's 381 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: not all We're just about getting healthy. You gotta be 382 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: hitting on all the saying, well, you want to play 383 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: your best football in December, you know, and so they 384 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: gotta get their chemistry going again. They started you know, 385 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: you gotta you know, start feeling good about yourself again. 386 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: But yeah, the good news is the Cowboys are seven 387 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: and four. They're gonna get healthy. They should be at 388 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: their best health wise for the stretch one in December. Alright, Clarence, 389 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: we can wrap up with um. Listen, I do want 390 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: to I'd like to spend things forward and project out. 391 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: Let's just say there's a collapse and the injuries don't continue, 392 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: or the injuries continue and they don't win the division 393 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: and maybe they get to the playoffs, maybe they don't. 394 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: You know, McCarthy hasn't been there long, but I am 395 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: curious what's the vibe on him and his tenure there 396 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: in Dallas. Would you say if they spiral out here, 397 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: he could be in some trouble or does Jerry not 398 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: want to go through this. We're not recycling coaches every 399 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: two years. Deal. There are a couple of things that 400 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: play because you know, there's a good chance that they 401 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: could lose Dad Quinn or Kellen Moore, you know, to 402 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: head coaching opportunity, you know, and if they spiral out, 403 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: do they want to let those young guys go for 404 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: for Mike McCarthy, you know, getting I said this last year, 405 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: you know this was never gonna he was never getting 406 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: a honeymoon. This was never gonna be Andyuri gets six 407 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: eight years to win, and they brought him in to win. Now, 408 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: you know he was approven coach. They didn't want any 409 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: growing plains. They brought him in the win. They thought 410 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: that had a Super Bowl roster. Uh So, two years 411 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: without the playoffs, I mean that's something that that that 412 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: Jared's gonna be looking aside at that. And and and 413 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: you don't want to let Kellen Moore go, you know, 414 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: he's he's just new Jason Garrett, you know guy he was, 415 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: you know, he don't want to let him go. And 416 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: and then you know there's Dad Quinn who was you know, 417 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: has has done miracle work with this defense, and a 418 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: guy who's won before and and and some point gonna 419 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to be a head coach. Do you 420 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: want to let him? Got to build it? You think 421 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: he would have a chance of the NFL. Or We 422 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: had a guest on this week who mentioned maybe Notre 423 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: Dame kicks the tires on Dan Quinn. Um. I don't know. 424 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: I think the Dad Quinn was certainly getting the chances. 425 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: In the film, does he does one of coach college 426 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: and he came from Florida before we went to Seattle. 427 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: I don't know if if I don't know if he 428 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: wants to do that. I mean, most of the guys 429 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: who want to do their recruiting and all the other 430 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: stuff that you have to do with college. You know, 431 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: certainly it's not to Dames right to kick tires on it. 432 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: But I mean, can you sell him to the fan base? 433 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if that gets him excited? Yeah, 434 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: j the Kelly more things interesting because I mean, I 435 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: know you said he's the new Jason Garrett, and you 436 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: left Jason Garrett currently unemployed. And I don't know that 437 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: there's a path to him being a head coach again 438 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Do you know, I don't not not 439 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett. No, for sure, I think he's not been 440 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: head coaching. But I think that that this ship is 441 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: sailed in him being offense coordinated. I mean, there was 442 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: something fundamentally wrong with with with with how Jason ran 443 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: his office, and certainly he was still you know, he's 444 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: still living on those troys when offense of the ninety nineties, 445 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: that's just that's just not what we do today. So yeah, 446 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: he's gone, and yeah, and I'm laughing about Kellen Moore 447 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: being the new jas Garrett as far as the apple 448 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: of Jerry's eye. But there's a fondness for Kellen Moore here. Mean, 449 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: they gave him a raid to keep going to Boys 450 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: and they think he's a young enough and coming coach 451 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: and somebody's gonna snap him up. One reason why he 452 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: didn't go for a college job because he thinks he 453 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: and his agent think he had a chest head in 454 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: a head coaching job after the season. Of course, that 455 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: was when they were seven and two. Everything was going well, 456 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,479 Speaker 1: but you know there's still a lot of people who 457 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: are high on killing more as the head coach. Yeah, 458 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 1: there's a massive Thursday night game, very excited for Dallas 459 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: and the Saints. You want to give out a score 460 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: projection or do you not do that, Clarence out of 461 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: concern for the Cowboys fans coming after you. No, I'm 462 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: not worried about the car. I think the Cowboys should win. 463 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: This game was gonna be tough, but I see it 464 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: as aff Yeah, I am nervous that Taysom Hill. Uh. 465 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: Not a lot of tape on him this year. Obviously 466 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: they know him from the past, but this could be 467 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: a shock to the system because it could be a 468 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: heavy run game. I don't know. We don't even know 469 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: if Kamara is playing Ingram like a lot up in 470 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: the air for the Saints. So all right, Clara till 471 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: Star Telegram.

He's making money while you do it. 478 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: Here's your best bat good stuff from Clarence Hill. He is. 479 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: I love the accent to you know, the deep South 480 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: twang that he has. Uh, he could get pessimistic, but 481 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: he's also wildly optimistic and uh it's fun to just 482 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: the mood swings that he has with the Cowboys and 483 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: their fan base are fun. And um, I'm at the 484 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: shock you guys. I think I like Dallas in this spot. Um, 485 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: they have lost three or four, but it's not like 486 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: Saints are playing well. Looks like the Saints are going 487 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: to change their quarterback and go with Taysom Hill. That 488 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: does concern me a little because he is going to 489 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: run the football on this Dallas defense, which is extremely soft. 490 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence are expected to play, which 491 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: is good, is a really good sign. The Dallas secondary 492 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: is very bad. So you know, Trevor Simmon kind of 493 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: sort of makes sense. But we know Trevor Simmy has 494 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: basically gone out there the first three quarters and stunk 495 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: up the joint and then he's put up garbage time 496 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: stats while um coming back from touchdown two touchdown deficits. 497 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: So I don't like sime in it all. I had 498 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: like Trevor. Sorry, I had like Taysom Hill, but he 499 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: hasn't really been that guy this year. Injuries of banged 500 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: him up. He took a nasty concussion below earlier this season. 501 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if he's fully recovered from that, 502 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 1: but well, I guess we'll find out tonight. I did 503 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: see the news that if a Marie Cooper is ago, 504 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: we won't find out till probably an hour before kickoff. 505 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: If he is a go, it'll be the first time 506 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: that Dak A Mari Cooper ceedee Lamb Tyron Smith, Layle Collins, 507 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 1: and Zack Martin will start a game to get there 508 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: for Dallas. Why is that interesting? Well, last year, remember 509 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: Smith was hurt, Collins was hurt, Martin in and out 510 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: of the lineup. Lamb was a rookie. Like, we haven't 511 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: seen Dallas at full strength yet, and I don't think 512 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna see it tonight. Although I am starting Tony 513 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: Pollard in fantasy, We'll see how that works out. Ezekiel 514 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: Elliott is expected to play. I just think given the 515 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: upcoming games in the Division, I would expect more Pollard 516 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: than Zeke because Zeke is gonna be the hammer you 517 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: need in those Division games. You don't want him to 518 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 1: reinjure it against the Saints and then no Zeke at 519 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: all down the stretch. That would be awful. So I 520 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: don't know. I think Dallas pulls out a low scoring game. 521 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: This to me kind of feels like maybe a twenty 522 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: one thirteen sixteen Dallas. So I betted at four and 523 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: a half. It is, let's see what it's now. I mean, 524 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: if this dips to four, I think you gotta add 525 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: to it. Right um sixteen A bunch of field goals 526 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: from the Saints and uh, I like the cow was 527 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 1: to prevail tonight. I don't love them as much as 528 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: I do some other games this weekend. Um, I don't 529 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: think i'd include the Saints and Ani teasers. You're not 530 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: going through three. You could go up through ten, um, 531 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: but you know, getting through seven as good ten not 532 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: as key as three. So my bet will be Dallas 533 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: minus four and a half. And uh, I would look 534 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: at the under as well, but um, regardless. I mean, 535 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: even if the Saints come out and go up seven 536 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: nothing with a good scripted drive early, I think they'll 537 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: even get a better Dallas number and I would bet 538 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: that too. So I'm all in on the Cowboys tonight. 539 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: I like it a lot, and um, good luck everybody. 540 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you tomorrow.
