Speaker 1: gonna talk about. We've got a big injury list slash

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: COVID list slash suspension list that we'll need to go through.

16
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: Even a player added this morning to and Coach McCarthy's

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: press conference that he just did a few minutes ago.

18
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: So let's start there. Let's talk first about some injuries.

19
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: Let's start with a Mariy Cooper. What are we hearing

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: about a Mariy Cooper at this point in his return

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: from COVID. Marie Cooper might be hard pressed to play

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: in this game. That's just me reading the tea leaves.

23
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said this morning, he's back in the building,

24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: but he's not feeling the best. Sounds like he's still

25
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: got some lingering effects, which Amber and I were just

26
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: talking about this on the way downstairs. As far as

27
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: I understand it, I have not knock on Wood contracted

28
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: COVID during this entire thing. But you can have symptoms

29
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: that persist after you stop testing negative for some people

30
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: for a long Yeah, sure, like it can stick with

31
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: you for a long time. Maybe if he talked about

32
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: that last year when he had COVID, he said he

33
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: felt some things after he was past COVID, right, So

34
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: I don't know this for sure, but I have a

35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: hard time believing they would let him back in the

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: building if he was COVID positive. But you can have

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: those symptoms after you stop testing positive, So that sounds

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: like something he's dealing with. They have a practice today,

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: McCarthy said, He's TBD. They do. They do a mock

40
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: game sort of walk through practice tomorrow before they leave town,

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: and Mike said, if he can't do something tomorrow, then

42
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: he probably won't play in this game, So we'll see.

43
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones said this morning that he thought Amari would

44
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: be good to go, but Jerry's usually Jerry's not even

45
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: half glass. He's not even glass half full. He's just glassful.

46
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: He's just like, yeah, we're good. Amar's going to play,

47
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: But I don't feel good about it right now on

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. It makes me and I doubt you guys

49
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: have the answer to this. But going back to that

50
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: and how cautious they are being currently with all these

51
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: new cases are in test being positive to have popped

52
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: up recently, with him testing negative and then having lingering

53
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: effects of like not feeling too well or a little

54
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: cough here and there, do you do you still risk it?

55
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Like you know, I don't know even if you're still

56
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: testing negative, Do you still want him or are you

57
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: being extremely extra cautious at least this week and just

58
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: keep him out? Well, I would assume. I would assume

59
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: at this point he's beyond the point of being contagious.

60
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: That's why they're letting him back in the building now.

61
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: As Day said, that doesn't mean he's not necessarily that

62
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: he's necessarily feeling better. He may still have some lingering effects.

63
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: And then that just becomes a matter of how do

64
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: you feel. It's no different than if you had you know,

65
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you if you had a cult,

66
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, the flu, you might be past being contagious,

67
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: but you just might not feel good. And then it's

68
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: just a matter of how do you feel. And if

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: he feels okay, he plays. If he does, then they

70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: have to question do they put him out there knowing

71
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: that maybe his conditioning isn't right, maybe isn't feeling up

72
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: to par whatever that might look like. Yeah, and McCarthy

73
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: mentioned that as well, there's a conditioning aspect to it,

74
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: like he needs to get onto a field and run

75
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: some routes and prove that he can feel good. I

76
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: guess it is. It is interesting, though, and I absolutely

77
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't intend to like make light of

78
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: this virus that has killed so many people and been

79
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: so awful for all of us. But like, if he's

80
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: not contagious and he's just feeling under the weather, like

81
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: if a guy had the flu two years ago, if

82
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: a guy had the flu, we'd be like, ze pack

83
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: and some gatorade. He's gonna play like I've been great

84
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: about that. So it sounds ridiculous to say, like, well,

85
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: he can play through it because it's COVID is this

86
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: awful thing. Like your brain goes to a different place

87
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: when you hear that. But that was something we were

88
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: very comfortable with in the before times, you know. So

89
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he needs to play through it

90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: if he's feeling crappy. But I do kind of think

91
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: about that sometimes, about how just perception can kind of

92
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: change the way that you feel about these sorts of things. So,

93
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: like I said, I don't know, we'll see, but if

94
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: he can't get out and run routes and prove that

95
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: he's just feeling up to it, then he's probably not

96
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: doing you any good anyway. What you have to remember

97
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: in a lot of aspects, COVID is a respiratory illness. Sure,

98
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: So for a guy that's going to go out and

99
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: run basically what's an equivalent to maybe a half marathon,

100
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know during a game how many miles they run.

101
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: I want to say, I want to say that somebody

102
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: did a study, and it was like seven, eight, maybe

103
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: even nine miles that a receiver would run in the

104
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: course of a game. But I don't know that to

105
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: be sure. I'm just soccer players usually run between six

106
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: and eight and they never stopped and they never stopped running.

107
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 1: That's but either way, the point they're talking about running

108
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: a lot. The point is you're sprinting a lot, and

109
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: for someone coming off a respiratory disease, if if they

110
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: are still having those effects, they maybe just very difficult

111
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: to do when you're compromised a bit. All right, Let's

112
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: talk about Ceedee Lamb. Where is he in his recovery

113
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: and his return that from dry concussion, he's gonna play.

114
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: I feel like that Ceedee Lamb is that's that's overweight.

115
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: He he said he wasn't feeling like himself last week,

116
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: which makes total sense. Um didn't clear his protocol. But

117
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been full every day this week, says

118
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: he feels fine, and he himself said he's gonna play.

119
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some good news to Marcus Lawrence. Where

120
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: is he supposed to be back? I mean, he says

121
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: he's are they they say he's gonna be back. I

122
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: mean Jerry says he's gonna be back, but I mean

123
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: Jerry said Mary's gonna be back. I fully expect Mary

124
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: to be back. Um, but no, I think Tank is

125
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: gonna play. I don't know how well he'll play or

126
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: how you know his conditioning will be, but he'll be

127
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: out there, and he's gotta be better, I would think

128
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: than the guys that they that they have. I mean,

129
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking about maybe not Dori's armstrong right away, but

130
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're thinking about the guys that

131
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: are rushing in the past or I'm sure he'll give

132
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: him a little bit of a boost there, and then

133
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: over time, I think he'll, you know, two or three games,

134
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: he'll probably get back to his normal self. That's what

135
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: my anticipation is. Yeah, I would imagine you're going to

136
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: have a plan for him. It's been he hasn't He

137
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: played the season opener and nothing else. Didn't have a

138
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: training camp, by the way, so um just has not

139
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: had a ton of opportunity to play football. So I

140
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: would imagine maybe there's a snap count or certain situations

141
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: like I'd be kind of surprised if they just threw

142
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: him out there and let him play sixty five snaps.

143
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: But but but I think he will play. Is there any

144
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: level of concern with Terrell Basham, another defensive end who

145
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: was limited yesterday in practice? Where are we with him?

146
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: You know, when you look at the injury report, you

147
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: don't always look at the guys like that, like, M sorry,

148
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: you gotta starter. He's a starter on I mean, but

149
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean Cedric Wilson have another Yeah, I mean practice

150
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: walked away the other day in a walking boot, and

151
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: he didn't practice. And if Mary doesn't play, then that

152
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: that's a problem to you. So I mean, I'll be

153
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: honest though I don't think there was a lot of

154
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: questions about Bashaim. Yeah, where he is well? And I

155
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: was fortunate enough to be our pool reporter at practice. Okay,

156
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: he was out there. They were They were playing cash money,

157
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: all the old all the good old stuff by the way,

158
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: like the old New Orleans, the old Juvie, the old Wayne,

159
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: like before a million. He was bad. We don't stop it.

160
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: But what But my point is Terrell Basham was like

161
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: dance into the music and having good He looked like

162
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: he took second thinking. Okay, the type of play call

163
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: is is this is a design ball you're talking about.

164
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: I think is this creative from major cash Money Millionaires

165
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: taken over for the nine nine and the two thousand.

166
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: It's one of my least favorite things. When you two

167
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: start arguing about rap. It's like, I hate it because

168
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: it's like it's never gonna be settled. It's like a cowboys.

169
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: We don't we don't argue over over hire about what

170
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: we do. Is like we just know that we have

171
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: different tastes, we got different errors. Derek's like stubborn, that's

172
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: all I'm not. I'm just you know, we see hip

173
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: hop music differently, but you were just talking about something

174
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: that we agree on, Like that was pretty good. You

175
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: would cash money back, You would think that y'all would

176
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: see it differently. Yeah, maybe, well maybe not if you

177
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: know Dave. Derek just Derek just thinks like nothing good

178
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: has happened since like what two thousand and two night

179
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: hip hope, Very little has happened dude since late ridiculous. Yeah,

180
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous, but it's it's every once in a while

181
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: something pops up. I was actually gonna ask Nick, do

182
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: you have any lyrics you want through out there from

183
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: the nineties cash money or Wayne or like you know

184
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: nineties hip hop. No, not really, you don't have anything

185
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: just like no, if it's not, I mean I say

186
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: last week you know and which By the way, that

187
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: song has the greatest rap lyric of all time California

188
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: love it in that second verse there, that's it, though

189
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: you want to tell everybody what it is class, you

190
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: guys know what it is? Okay, all right, cool, um,

191
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: let's let's say I don't say the H word on

192
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: the air. Okay, go ahead, sure, let's talk about Zeke Elliott.

193
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: He is a he is not really on the injury port,

194
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: not really injured per se, but certainly not feeling great.

195
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Hasn't been great, got a little bit of a I

196
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't call it a rest last week, but certainly wasn't

197
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: playing as many snaps as he's played in most other

198
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: games this year. Where you guys, where you guys sit

199
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: with regards to what's happening to Zeke right now? Should

200
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys look at maybe having another week, Well, maybe

201
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: they do less with him. It sounds like they're planning

202
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: to do more. But what are your thoughts on where

203
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: he is right now? My opinion about this whole thing

204
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: hasn't changed this entire time. I know he's hurting, I

205
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: know he's probably compromised, But if he wasn't feeling up

206
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: to it, then I would say, by all, of course,

207
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: sit down. But like he he keeps saying the same thing.

208
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna got through it. He's got ways to get

209
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: through it, and they need him. He's I don't really

210
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: care as much about his explosiveness. Like he's too valuable

211
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: as an all around player. I don't want Tony Pollard

212
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: and Corey clement In pass pro all night against this

213
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: defense on the road in an environment where it's going

214
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: to be loud and you don't have the benefit of

215
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: being able to communicate. Hell, no, I need zeke In.

216
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: There's protecting like he does too much. He's been underrated

217
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: as a receiver this year. They're not always great catches,

218
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: but like the number of times he's bailed Dack out

219
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: with some great catches, some of the best of his

220
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: career in my opinion. No, he's too valuable as an

221
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: all around player to sit. If he doesn't absolutely need

222
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: to sit. They've got three to four days off when

223
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: this is over, Like they're not going to be back

224
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: on a field after this game. Until Wednesday. That's so

225
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: from Thursday night until it is. It's exactly what it is.

226
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: And McCarthy has specified like he's going to do everything

227
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: he can to give them as much time. So live

228
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: in the cold tub, get some acupuncture, whatever it is

229
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: that you got to do over the weekend, do it.

230
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: But I need Zeke in this game. Real quick talk

231
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: about Tristan Hill. He gets to amended two games. I honestly,

232
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even know this happened until it was probably

233
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: the next day when I saw the video on Twitter.

234
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: Did you guys see it happening? What are your thoughts

235
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: on him being suspended and what happened there at the

236
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: end of the game versus the eraiders. I mean, he

237
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: punched a guy in the face, that's in the face, then, yeah,

238
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: and then he didn't get punched back. Obviously that's not

239
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: gonna happen. He made sure that didn't happen, so he

240
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I didn't. I don't. I

241
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: don't agree with anything that happened there with that, Okay,

242
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: what you don't agree with I don't. I mean, from

243
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: what we know, didn't agree with him punching a guy

244
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: in the face. And then he didn't, you know, then

245
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: he backed away from that obviously. Then the two games

246
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense for what we know. I mean, I

247
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: see Kadarius Tony hit Demonte Casey in the face and

248
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: he didn't get anything. Um, you know, the Chiefs guy,

249
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: as was pointed out upstairs a few minutes ago, and

250
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna steal the line, but the Chiefs guy, you know,

251
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: basically just sprayed the whole bench, you know, and and

252
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: that that's fine. Nothing there we got. We got to imaginary, well,

253
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: we got a safety on our on our team that

254
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: that got arrested for d WI and we're still figuring

255
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: out what his suspension is going to be. I mean,

256
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: I think that's a big deal in our world too,

257
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: So like I just don't understand from what we know

258
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: why that's a two game suspension. But you know, I

259
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: have a problem with it. Typically just got fine first time. Yeah, Well,

260
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: but here's the deal. I don't think we've seen I

261
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: certainly haven't seen any time that I can can recall

262
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: recently where a player hit another player following the game,

263
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: because I do think there is some difference between during

264
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: the game heat of the moment guy punches another guy,

265
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: you might get ejected in that game, you certainly will

266
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: get fine Richard Sherman and Trump that was, yeah, that

267
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: was after game. And I saw that one that was like, yeah,

268
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: that was when the Legion of Boom was still the

269
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: Legion of Boom, right, And so yeah, that just doesn't

270
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: happen very often. And I don't even know, do you

271
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: know what happened with Trent Trent Williams And I'm sure, yeah,

272
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was. Two games are not,

273
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: but but I do think there's a difference to be

274
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: made there, and I think there's a legitimate difference in

275
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: me made. What you don't want as a league. You

276
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: don't want guys going after each other after the game's over.

277
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: That can turn into a really big problem really quickly,

278
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of things that happen on the

279
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: field that can turn into that if you allow it too.

280
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: So I could see what that's an issue. Two games

281
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: does still seem kind of see it seems Trent Williams

282
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: got fined eight grand and wasn't sid I mean it

283
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: was it was a playoff game, so it was the

284
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: last game of the year. But still the league has

285
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: never the league has never cared about carrying things over.

286
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: That's I do agree with you. Like the fact that

287
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: it happened after a game. It seemed kind of premeditated,

288
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: like Tristan Hill was kind of hanging out waiting for it.

289
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: But I mean the league's inconsistency with that stuff has

290
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: always been it's just awful. There's no rhyme or reason.

291
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: There's no clearly outlined like reasoning for it. You never

292
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: know it, and it's it's bs honestly, and the players

293
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: probably should have collectively bargained for something better, Like there

294
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: needs to be a panel with like a panel with

295
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: a guy with an arbiter. It needs to be out

296
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: of Goodell's hands. It never will be. Let me ask

297
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: you for that kind of stuff. Is it Goodell who

298
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: actually hands it down? Or does he have someone does

299
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: that in these circumstances, I think there's somebody else. Yeah,

300
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: And I shouldn't pop off too much because I don't

301
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: know the ends. And I thought it was Troy Vincent,

302
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: but I think I think it is. But you know,

303
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: he's not a repeat offender too, which is you know,

304
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: usually stuff like that happens you see with in Dominican

305
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: Sue and issues that he had. It was because it

306
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: was the second time, third time, but I mean Tristan

307
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: Hill hasn't played enough to have you know, well, hold

308
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: on now, I mean hold on, you thinking about the

309
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: alligator get fined for that. I don't remember asking a

310
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: lot of question. That's even a little bit different than

311
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: this kind of situation, like that's kind of you kind

312
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: of can give guys benefit of doubt that he was

313
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: just kind of making a tackle and yeah, whatever, right.

314
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's very different than walking up to a

315
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: guy after a punch. He was. He was fine seven

316
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: grand for the alligator role last year. So still, I mean,

317
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: two games just seems really steep anything. It's certainly just

318
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: in one punch of a guy. Again, the fact that

319
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: we still haven't heard and maybe never will hear anything

320
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: about Demante CAZy, never nothing. We just sat on pins

321
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: and needles for like two years with the Tyrone Crawford thing,

322
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: and we were like, well, Gus, they're not going to

323
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: do anything. And then five days after Tristan Hill punches

324
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: a guy who's wearing a helmet, they're like, we have

325
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: to act on this right now. I just I don't

326
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: get their methodology at all. Yeah, if I were, if

327
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: I were the players in the next collective bargaining agreement,

328
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: I would definitely say, give me a schedule. I want

329
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: to know this offense, this fine or suspension, and do

330
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: as much as you can to define that so that

331
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: it's very clear, so players know the consequence of whatever

332
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: bad behavior they have. Cowboys might want to try to appeal,

333
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, for him to appeal, they are he's happening today,

334
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: Play that's happening today, and and Mike McCarthy says that

335
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: if they do, if he wins it, then obviously he

336
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: would be available to play today. But I've very rarely

337
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: heard of a player appealing and winning. I've got a

338
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: bridge in Brooklyn to sell anybody who thinks the league's

339
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: gonna overturn that that basically basically means they overturn their

340
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: own decision. You know, it's not about overturning it. You're

341
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: gonna get your true games. What I would try to

342
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: do if I'm the Cowboys there for him, I mean,

343
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: is get back here, you know, play this game so

344
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: Neville Galimore can come back in the next week. And

345
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: then when you do get suspending the Neville Galimore sitting

346
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: there but it sounds like they're gonna hear it today,

347
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: so it ain't gonna sure would be nice. And by

348
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: the way, it's John Runyon who is now there, Johns

349
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: who drops the suspension, And that also may be why

350
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: you're seeing such a different skin to do it. My

351
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: guess is John Runyon wasn't doing it back when Sherent

352
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: Williams had his altercation with Richard Sherman. So as a

353
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: new guy is handling that, he may look at things differently.

354
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: And if there is no you know, no schedule of

355
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: this offense produces this result, then and you're probably gonna

356
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: have in it. He one of the dirtiest players in

357
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: the game. John Right, I don't. I'm not gonna call

358
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: the guy dirty, but he was involved in a lot

359
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: of crap when he was with the Eagles, and he's

360
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 1: the guys. Let's just get Rashid Wallace to come in

361
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: for the NBA and do that kind of stuff. Led

362
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: the world in technical vouls. Both teams played hard. The

363
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: thing is is Derek Brooks and James Thrash is the

364
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: guy who they have to hear his appeal. By the way, well,

365
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. James Thrash seems like both stand

366
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: up kind of guys, all right, we're gonna No. I

367
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: just I feel like I need to make it clear,

368
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: like Chris Tristan Hill deserved some punishment for that, Like

369
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: that's not professional, it's not okay, Like that's not what

370
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm defending. And I don't think anybody would and just

371
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: don't understand the NFL is just so off the rails

372
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to how they make these decisions. That's all.

373
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: Like I really I don't have a problem with the

374
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: punishment so much as the inconsistency from the league. And

375
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, from from Tristan Hills standpoint, I mean, what

376
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: the what the Cowboys? What we thought from him? You

377
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: know when when he was drafted, it was he he

378
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: could be, you know, a good rusher, he can get

379
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: up the field. He's an active player. He's a little

380
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: bit immature, though we've seen more of that than we've

381
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: seen what we've seen the player that they drafted in

382
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: the second round unfortunately. And that's just my ironic too,

383
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: because no, I agree with you, but he played pretty

384
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,719
Speaker 1: well against three years. I thought like he was active,

385
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: he was so he did he had he had a

386
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: pretty good game and he gets up the field, he's

387
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: not easy to block. Yeah, um, but you know he has.

388
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: It's been mostly the other stuff so far. And this

389
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: is year three, year three. All right, we're gonna take

390
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: our first break. When we come back, we're gonna talk

391

392
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,560

439
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: appreciate you joining us. Let's start real quick. Let's talk

440
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: about this New Orleans team. Just tell me, just as

441
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: a big picture thing, what would you say is the

442
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: biggest reason why they've struggled so much this year. They

443
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: are five and six certainly don't look like the Saints

444
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: teams that were used to seeing regularly. What do you

445
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: think is the biggest reason? Team and transition. You lose

446
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback and Drew Brees, you don't

447
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: have an all Pro receiver in Michael Thomas, your star

448
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: running back album Kamari has been getting out the line up,

449
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: so have a lot of different pieces that you're trying

450
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: to juggle and reassemble. And so it's one of those

451
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: deals where Sean Payton can anticipate the team being one way,

452
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: but then you get into the regular season and you

453
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: have to play a different way. And so it just

454
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: hasn't come together for them. And so without Michael Thomas,

455
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: when you really look, you see, I mean look, a

456
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: lack of high end personnel at wide receiver. And when

457
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: you compound that by not having Alan Kamark, they just

458
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: don't have the ability to score points like they used to.

459
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: And so the defense has been solid. The defense has

460
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: the potential to do it, but it's different when you

461
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: go from being an offensive centric team to non needing

462
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: to be a defensive or unit team. And I think

463
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: that transition has kind of caused them to kind of

464
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: be a five under squad. Becky, what do you expect

465
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: from the quarterback position? Taysom Hill is supposed to start,

466
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: But do you think that they'll they'll rotate two guys

467
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: in there. Do you think it's just going to be

468
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: his the whole time? I mean, I think if your Dallas,

469
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: you have to be ready for both guys because that's

470
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: how they typically have operated. Taysom Hill has started games

471
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: and the games before as a qv one, but you know,

472
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: like the game changes when he's in there, right. I

473
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: think sometimes when they put him in a quarterback they

474
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: take away some of the superpowers in terms of being

475
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: able to be a change of Swiss Army Knight. I

476
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: think you're expect to see a little more quarterback one game.

477
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: The passing game would be a little more non rhythmic

478
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: because he's not a guy that traditionally throws on time.

479
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: He's not a rhythm passes, and so you have to

480
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: be ready for more improvisational play. G dbs have to

481
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: plaster and stick to their guys more in casey scrambles

482
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: and all that. So it's a change up. But I

483
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: think the good thing for dan Quinn. Has he seen

484
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: him before because he was in a division for a while,

485
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: so he kind of understands who he is as an athlete.

486
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: And then it's about making him be uncomfortable, making him

487
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: as a third of wall more than normal. How nervous

488
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: do you think that Cowboys should be about the Saints

489
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: pass rush? Just looking mainly at numbers, Cam Jordan's not

490
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: putting up those type of numbers were used to. Doesn't

491
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: look like Marcus Davenport's gonna play or he might not play,

492
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, just with how much this group has

493
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: struggled over the last month, I mean, how does this

494
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: this front stack up to some of the other ones. Well,

495
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, desperation brings about different game plans, and so

496
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: this is a team that is desperate to stay in

497
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: the playoff hunts. So all those stats and things that

498
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: we think about prior to this game can go out

499
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: the window because now you're trying to heat people up.

500
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: And so then if you're heating them up, you're bringing

501
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: pressure from everywhere. It's a randomness to how you come

502
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: about it that's hard to prepare for. And so I

503
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: think debt has to do with a lot of it

504
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: by what's an area that the Congress could catch some

505
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: type of break when facing this opponent. I mean, look,

506
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: I think what you want to do is before you

507
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: can really even think about the things, you want to

508
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: make sure that you get back on track, all right.

509
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: I think the rough ass ratio got out of whack

510
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 1: last game. They need to make sure that they've run

511
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: the football regards of who's the running back twenty part

512
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: of needs to be a big part of it. I

513
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: think Dak Prescott has a together way to play better

514
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: and so in some of these what you want to

515
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: do is simplify and do less, not more, so you

516
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: can get back on track. The Cowboys really haven't played

517
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: great football over the last four games. You gotta simplifier

518
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: and get back to doing the base and so you

519
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: can get back on track and get your confidence right.

520
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: All right. I know we gotta get you out here, Bucky.

521
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: So before we let you go, we do need to

522
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: get a prediction on what you think is going to

523
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: happen Thursday night in New Orleans. I think the Cowboys

524
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: have to get back on track. I think like the

525
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: up and down nature of the way they perform, they're

526
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: on high alert. Getting Amark Cooper back hopefully see the

527
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: land back. That should help. But then you have the

528
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: coaching situation where dan Quinn has to take over. I

529
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 1: think all hands should be on deck because the Washington

530
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: football team is closing fast. This has to be one

531
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: where they played much better than they played previously. I

532
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: expect them to do that because this should be a

533
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: wonder the game. This should be a game that they

534
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: chalk up at the deck. All right, Bucky, we appreciate you.

535
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: We'll let you go. We're gonna take our final break.

00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: life from the SWBC Mortgage Studios. At the Star, we

582
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: are going to talk big picture storylines heading into Cowboys

583
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: Versus Saints this Thursday Night. Thursday Night Football and let's

584
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: start first with the biggest storyline. I think that just

585
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: from a storyline perspective, Cowboys don't have their head coach.

586
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: My question for you guys is how big of a

587
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: deal is it that they don't have the head coach

588
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy for this game. I said this on the

589
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: radio this morning. I don't it would be silly to

590
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: just say like it doesn't matter at all just because

591
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: you're drat, you're changing everything about your game day operations.

592
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: It's a different person. It's everything gets shuffled. Joe Witz

593
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: going to be up in the booth now, So now

594
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: you're two different people that have been next to each

595
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: other all year communicating. Dan Quinn hasn't had to do

596
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: all of the overseeing that he he's going to have

597
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: to do. So there's definitely a difference. But two thoughts

598
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: come to mind. One is like sort of the tongue

599
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: in cheek joke we've had all year of like, well

600
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: what does Mike McCarthy do? Really Well, we're about to

601
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: find out. I mean, we'll see. And if there's anybody

602
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: that should be equipped to do this, I would imagine

603
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: it's a guy that was a head coach for what

604
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: six years five six years and made it halfway through

605
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: last season, so it's really only just now been a

606
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: full year since he stopped doing it. It's played plenty

607
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: of games in the Superdome. He coached the Falcons like

608
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: this just this shouldn't be too daunting for dan quinn. So, like,

609
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a best case scenario. Yeah, those guys

610
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: are important too. I mean, in any profession, there's a

611
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: lot of positions out there where it's like, okay, what

612
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: does that person do? They just sit around and make decisions.

613
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, every people need those those guys or girls.

614
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean they need them, They need the decision makers,

615
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: and so it just trickles down and so I think

616
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: that they'll be five six people that are probably going

617
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: to be a lot more stressed than they normally are

618
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: because it's just different things that they're going through. So yeah,

619
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean there's the reason why you have head coaches

620
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: like that, and I think I think McCarthy, you know,

621
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: handles it well. But but yeah, I mean he doesn't

622
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: call the plays, but he makes the decisions. Now, some

623
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: of the decisions have been questioned. I mean every game

624
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: there's a couple that we questioned with him, and you

625
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: know he did it in this last game, which I

626
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: do think that's interesting though, is dan Quinn because and

627
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: we brought this, We joked about this yesterday, like people

628
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: keep trying to call him an interim coach, he's not.

629
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's still the head coach of this team. And

630
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: when he was answering all these questions about the game

631
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: day operations yesterday, he went out of his way to

632
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: not call dan Quinn like the acting head coach. He

633
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: was like, Dan's gonna come down and help with the

634
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: mechanics of all that, which I totally get. But I

635
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: wonder like, is dan Quinn just going to consult the

636
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: book of Mike? Like does he have does he have

637
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: Mike's preferences written down on a notebook and he's like, okay,

638
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: this this is fourth and two in plus territory, like

639
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna go for it. Or is dan Quinn does

640
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: he have autonomy to do what dan Quinn would do?

641
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: Gotta have autonomy, right, I mean I would think if

642
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: it was a guy that was not previously a head coach,

643
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: didn't have that level of experience, thing, you may do

644
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: a little more to kind of guide them I'm guessing.

645
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm guessing Mike would be like, look, you're going to

646
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: be running the show for this game. Run the show, sure,

647
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: and I agree with you to a degree, but like,

648
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: do you have a conversation of like, Okay, this is

649
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: this is kind of the guidelines of who we are

650
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: and who we want to be. Like those conversations probably

651
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: going on all c sure, right, yeah, Kellen Moore's talked

652
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: a lot about like, you know, it's not some big

653
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: dramatic thing for us when we go for it on

654
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: fourth down, like this is baked into our philosophy. But

655
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: now you have a and I don't I don't know

656
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: dan Quinn's tendencies from when he was at in Atlanta.

657
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but like, but now you just have a

658
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: different mind, and a defensive mind, by the way, who

659
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: ultimately has the final stay over this stuff. So I

660
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: just wonder if we're if we're going to see a

661
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: new look in terms of the decision making. And I

662
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: don't think we can answer that until we see it.

663
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: I personally believe that Mike McCarthy goes into it says

664
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: this is you know, if he montells Jordan's these things,

665
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: So this is how we do it. That would be terrible.

666
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: It really would be because think about last night's game.

667
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: If you watch that crap last night, what if what

668
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: if the Washington had a coach that said, this is

669
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: how we're going to do it. Well, your your kicker

670
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: just got hurt, or in this case like Zoroline, maybe

671
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: he has a bad game, or maybe the Cowboys just

672
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: cannot pick up one yard at all, So you get

673
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: to fourth and one, fourth and two, where the Mike

674
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: would do in previous games. Every game takes on a

675
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: different life of its own. If Zorline goes out there

676
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: and miss is an extra point in a twenty eight

677
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: yard field goal, knock on the biggest oak tree you

678
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: can have, that's fine. But if that happens, then it's

679
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: fourth and two from the twenty six yard line. It's

680
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: got to be a different call than what we normally

681
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: do because you got to play within the game. I

682
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: personally think that, yeah, they'll be fine to a certain extent,

683
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: and yes, he's had Dan Queen has had that experience.

684
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: But what concerns me in a way and worries me

685
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: is the thought of knowing they haven't played great in

686
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: the past few weeks. So, okay, I want my defensive

687
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: coordinator to be fully focused on what his job is.

688
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: I want Kellen Moore to be fully focused on what

689
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: he does. So now you got Dan Queen, who's up

690
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: at the booth usually. Now he's on the field. Now

691
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: he's taking a different, bigger role, having to deal with

692
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: other things. And it's not ideal when they've been playing

693
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: the way that they have been playing these past few weeks,

694
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: and then you add this new element to it. Not

695
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: like you have many other great choices, but at the

696
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's just I hope they manage

697
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: it well, but hopefully it won't take away with what

698
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: he has been doing with the defense overall, which we

699
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: know that they do need to help on defense, and

700
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: especially when the offense has been playing the way that

701
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: they have been playing. Yeah, I think we're you're thinking

702
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. Bones Okay, I wouldn't go as far

703
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: as because I love it. I love him. Let's just

704
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: light this whole thing on fire, get wild. No, No,

705
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: the games are stressful enough to add that kind of

706
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: element to it. I think it would be great. I

707
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: think dan Quinn will do a great job, but I

708
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: mean it would be fun he would have, he would

709
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: have more time to focus on the defense. It might

710
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: be on the field a lot if Bones is calling

711
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: it too. We're good, We're good. We gotta we got

712
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: a solution. We're gonna work with that. All right. Here's

713
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: the next big picture question after you guys, what will

714
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: be the starting offensive line? And does Lyle keep the

715
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: job when Terrence still returns from COVID protocol. I don't

716
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: think it's fair to ask me that question because we

717
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: see what happens. Well, they just not only that, like

718
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 1: they clearly don't know, like they can't make up their minds.

719
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: They're rotating guys during a game. So they's going to coach?

720
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: Yeah that too, I mean, yeah, the coaches aren't even

721
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: part of this. What is happening with that. It's gonna

722
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: be Londa Wells, the tight ends coach is gonna is

723
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: sliding over to do that. He's got that in his background.

724
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: We did this yesterday, right before you got here. I

725
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: believe we tried our best and and it doesn't seem

726
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: that difficult at the moment to say left the right,

727
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith, Connor McGovern, be Odish, Zack Martin and then

728
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins. To answer your question, I don't know, because

729
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones made it very clear this morning that Terrence Steele.

730
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: He said, basically, Terrence Steele's played better than Lyle calls

731
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: or he's the better option. That's why he's been playing

732
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: is because he has played better at right tackle. He

733
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 1: also says that Lyle is not getting punished for anything

734
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: like that, So it's just it's, you know, whatever the

735
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: term you want to use. They feel like Terrence is

736
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: a better option, and they also probably are already deciding

737
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: who's going to be here next year. I mean, that's

738
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: got to be a big part of it. Maybe that's

739
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: why McGovern's playing over Connor Williams. It's hard, are you

740
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: saying that? Get your thought is that Lyle won't be here?

741
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying. I think it's safe to

742
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: say that. Yeah. I mean it's hard to watch this

743
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: and like not think about those things right at the

744
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: very that's probably the best way to say it. I

745
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know the answer to that,

746
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: but it's hard not to think about that stuff. And

747
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: I said this today too. It's like when you're rotating

748
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: guys in the middle of a game after like you

749
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: made the big dramatic switch to Connor McGovern and it's

750
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: a storyline, and then like a week later, you've got

751
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: Connor Williams rotating in a very similar thing happening with

752
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: Terrence and LC. It makes me think that there's a

753
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: difference of opinion somewhere on the chain of command, whether

754
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: the front office thinks one thing and the coaching staff

755
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: thinks the other, or the head coach thinks one thing

756
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: and the offensive line coach thinks the I don't know,

757
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: but it's weird. You never you will not convince me

758
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: that exactly exactly like you won't important. You're not gonna

759
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: You're not gonna sit up here and tell me continuity

760
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: over everything and fantasy football nonsense. To bring that up

761
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: one more time and then must stop that. And well,

762
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: and did you go into a game and you rotate?

763
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: Nobody does that? It does fantasy. That's like it's nineteen

764
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: like in the nineteen fifties, like player like teams would rotate.

765
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: They would have like, oh, this is our first quarter

766
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: defense in our second like yeah, that happened back then

767
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: when freshmen weren't allowed to play varsity. That was a

768
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: million years ago. They don't do this in modern football,

769
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: and so they should have back in the nineties, they

770
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: should have rotated at all. I was actually thinking it.

771
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: I wonder who's gonna tell Nate new that around and

772
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: said Nate off the field. Nay, you're off. Yeah, Nate,

773
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: you're off for this series. To the person that comes

774
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: off the field comes on and says, Nate you're out,

775
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: have fun, Well, things will happen to have fun. Yes,

776
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: today's gonna be like bro, I'm good. I don't want

Speaker 1: food always, especially if it's I'll see what I can.

790
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: I would love for water Burger just to sponsor the

791
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: lunch break. It's not the lunch break and been lunch

792
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: break for a long time. If water Burger was a sponsor,

793
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: it could be what if they said, hey, what if

794
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: you just add lunch back in it? Would you do

795
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning? Shunn in my fight tequo and

796
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: this thing I was. I was ready to go on

797
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: a roll. I had more to say about the offensive line. No,

798
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: it's over. Now, that's over. Good, it's gone. I just

799
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,479
Speaker 1: my wife right now. Yeah, it's fine, honey. No, I'm fine.

800
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 1: Talk about whatever you want to talk about. We talked

801
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: about this yesterday when you were doing whatever you were doing. No,

802
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: we talked about this where we said, um, nice answer there, McCarthy.

803
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: We don't believe it, thanks though, good good, try on

804
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: because that that's wrong. That's wrong, because we know what's

805
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: wrong because Tyran Smith didn't rotate and Zach Martin didn't rotate,

806
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: and so whatever the answer is, it just say I

807
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: don't want to tell you and we beg oh, okay, cool, Yeah,

808
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you. I would prefer that

809
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: you know what, You've done that a couple of years,

810
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: And I was ipec that from coaches when they're like,

811
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: that's not something I want to talk about. Yeah, yeah,

812
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 1: we haven't a lot of me though. Thanks. Yeah, yeah, Clarence,

813
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: we have an answer. I just don't want to tell

814
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: you next question. I really, I say it's not fair

815
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: to ask me to answer that because God knows what

816
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: they're like. God knows because they haven't been able to

817
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: come up with a consistent strategy all year. Um, maybe

818
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: maybe Elsie's just gonna grab the bull by the horns

819
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: and kick Cam Jordan's ass around the field all night

820
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday and you'll have the answer for you. Yeah,

821
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: that would be nice. All right, let's real quickly before

822
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: we in the show. I need some predictions doing this.

823
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, why wouldn't we know? I know, I was

824
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: just I thought about that a few minutes ago. Man,

825
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm not reading my dog to do it right again yesterday,

826
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean tomorrow, Well, yeah, do it and put it

827
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: on video. Did it? You're up? He didn't do good after?

828
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that's what so he changed his big Yeah,

829
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: he picked the Cowboys and then threw up a lot

830
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: of people throw it up after that game. Yeah, um,

831
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: oh man, I was I really want to. No, I'm not.

832
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: I'm not ready. I'm not. I'm not. I'm sorry, good,

833
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm not ready. I'm not ready to pick them to

834
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: go win again. I mean, after all this crap that's

835
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: going on, it probably would be very Cowboys in NFL

836
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: like for them to go and strange lady this thing

837
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: and go and win. But I'm not ready to do that.

838
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: So I just I'm gonna pick. I'm not gonna pick

839
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: the Saints, but I'm not gonna pick the Cowboys to win.

840
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: How does that work? You're just gonna I'm not gonna

841
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: refuse yourself. I'm not picking the Cowboys to win right now.

842
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just this after everything we've seen. I

843
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: just I know they're getting a lot of guys back.

844
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: But this game, you know the Saints are fighting too.

845
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm so you pick the st Yeah, I don't know yet.

846
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: The score eighteen sixteens, I'm like that, I don't know,

847
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: sixteen something crazy and stupid. Yeah, it's weird. Well, we've

848
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: seen we've gone up there two years ago, this three

849
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 1: and old Cowboys. But and then they get shut down

850
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: by the Saints defense, and then you know, the Saints.

851
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: I don't say defense is not it's just not something

852
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: to sneeze at. No, they'll be pretty good, and so

853
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: I just I see a little bit more of a

854
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: low scoring game. Maybe not that that low, but something

855
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: twenty two twenty. I don't know. I don't think the

856
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: Saints are that good, but I don't right now with

857
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I mean, how could you pick them right now?

858
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys are gonna do it and probably

859
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: pick them, but I just don't see. I'm not alright, No,

860
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: that's it. That's my answer. I'm like, I'm not picking.

861
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: Like I've given them the benefit of the dove a

862
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: couple of times lately, and I've been like, I'm a believer,

863
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: kind of hanging by a thread right there, but right

864
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: now after and I get it, last week the game

865
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: went over time and they were very close that we're

866
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: fighting at the end, But to me, it just feels

867
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: like they were a complete mess and they were not

868
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 1: able to recover whatsoever, even though that was the end result.

869
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: So maybe I'm just forgetting those plays that were good,

870
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: But I'm seeing that game as a complete mess and

871
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: they were not good whatsoever. So this week I'm just

872
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm upset, don't want to prove it. Show it to me,

873
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,959
Speaker 1: and then I'll be like, Okay, good do it again

874
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: next week. Let me jump in before you do that, Dave,

875
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: because I didn't say this when you were talking about

876
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with Dan Quinn and all that stuff.

877
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: I've said it a thousand times. I think teams get

878
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: beat earlier in the week, you know, usually on Wednesday

879
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: or Thursday. Of course, this Wednesday, Thursday is a Saturday,

880
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: and a Monday or Sunday in the Monday. I think

881
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: that's where the Cowboys will probably struggle the most. It's

882
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: right now, it's this week. It's this coming off of

883
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and all this stuff happening. It's just a real practice.

884
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: It is this you know, it's not a short week,

885
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: but it's still a weird week. That's where I think

886
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will probably not as be as prepared. And

887
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: I think Sean Payton's one of the best coaches in

888
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: the game. He does he does more with less every

889
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: single year, and so that's why I just I don't

890
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: see it happening this week. I'm sorry, Dave, that's I mean,

891
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: how could you feel good about picking this team right now?

892
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: There's no reason that you should, and I don't want to.

893
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: But I also like, don't think highly of the Saints

894
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: at all. They're banged up as well. I mean, they're

895
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: gonna have it's the same thing. They're gonna have some

896
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: guys back, but not as many as they would prefer.

897
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: Um and thinking about brought us here, what do you mean?

898
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: Strange ladies, it's a strange And actually the Cowboys could

899
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: I feel the opposite of you. I'm like, well you

900
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: if you can't circle the wagons right now, Like dan

901
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: Quinn's got to come down from the booth, Mike's not

902
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: gonna be there. You've got You've gotten punched in the

903
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: mouth three out of the last four weeks. The whole

904
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: league kind of thinks you're a joke right now as

905
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: far as contending teams go, Like, nobody everybody's writing you off.

906
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 1: We like, it's unbelievable to me that we don't feel

907
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 1: confident in a team that had an MVP candidate quarterback

908
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: a month ago, going in and beating a tight end

909
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: at Quarterback Club but and but you shouldn't because they

910
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: don't deserve it. But it's unbelievable to me. That's how

911
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: low we've fallen that It's like can can dack out

912
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: dual Taysom Hill. I don't know, are you am? I am?

913
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: I speaking English right now? I don't want to pick

914
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: right now. No, But I don't like it sucks because

915
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: to win I don't need. And that's I just I

916
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: look at it. I'm like they've got this adversity that

917
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: they can rally around. I don't think Cooper is going

918
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: to be there, but um um but Lamb will be back.

919
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: They'll have Gallop at least gives you a little bit

920
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: of firepower, of course, and they probably won't have Cedric

921
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: Wilson either. Like I don't feel good about it. I

922
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: don't feel good about it at all, But like they

923
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: just are a more talented team and they should find

924
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: a way to win. Is it gonna be pretty? Absolutely not.

925
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: They haven't played a pretty game in almost a month.

926
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: But I think they can go down there and sneak

927
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: out like a twenty to sixteen win, and we're all

928
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna hate ourselves throughout the whole thing. Like nobody's gonna

929
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: have fun. But guess what if you can get out

930
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: of there with the win, what's that Wednesday night? Maybe?

931
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: But sure, Oh no, I'm talking about during those three hours,

932
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm changing my pick. But if they can get the worst,

933
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: I'm changing my pick. This is something I've never seen

934
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: ever with the Cowboys. What a three nothing win tie?

935
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 1: Oh you're gonna go twenty two? Twenty two tie. I

936
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: can't pick the Cowboys to That's what it was. I

937
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: can't pick the Cowboys to win. I can't pick the

938
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: Saints to win. I'm picking a tie that I've never

939
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: done it before. Have you ever? I'll throw up, I'll

940
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: throw up all day. Ties are terrible. Have you ever

941
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: been even harder picked than have you ever played? Have

942
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: you ever played Roulette and bet green? Because it feels

943
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: like that's what you're doing. I'm gonna take the green spot, right?

944
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: But hey Mark, Hey Mark Carter? Yes, yeah, no, I'm

945
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: just that's the jem but on my phone. But you know,

946
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: I actually I agree with you, Dave, there are This

947
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: pick for me is not about the Cowboys as much

948
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: as it is about the Saints. I just don't think

949
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: and watching the Saints play the last several games, they're

950
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: just a team that just doesn't look very good. Now,

951
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: you could say the same thing about Denver. But Denver,

952
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,959
Speaker 1: as we've seen, they've actually had some games where they've

953
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: kind of come on. I mean, you go back throughout

954
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: the year and look at New Orleans, they just don't

955
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: look good. They don't look yeah, but I'm saying they

956
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: just don't throughout the season. You get beyond that week

957
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: and what have they really done? Like, they are just

958
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: not a team that looks very good. And so I

959
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 1: think that this is a game where the Cowboys are

960
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: able to get right. To be honest with you, I'm

961
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: really way more concerned and my pick may be very

962
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: different next week, because I think that's going to be

963
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: a very challenging game for the Dallas to win. If

964
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 1: they don't get themselves back on track, if they play

965
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: like they played over the last month, they will go

966
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: to Watchington and lose next week. But I think this week,

967
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: I think what I think of New Orleans tells me

968
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: that I think Dallas has enough to be able to

969
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: beat them. It's funny, it goes back to what I said,

970
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: and clearly I don't think nobody expected them to lose

971
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: three out of four. But we were having arguments last

972
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: week where it's like, well, nobody wants to hear this,

973
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: but we're still playing AFC teams like they don't these

974
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: aren't as important as some of these other games. And

975
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: I keep saying it. I just feel like they just

976
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 1: got to hold the rope, and like, honestly, when or lose,

977
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: you just gotta get through this stretch. They'll have ten

978
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: days off or tie, well whatever, I don't care. Yeah,

979
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: when loser, tie, but you just gotta get done with

980
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,760
Speaker 1: this crap and then you got ten days off hopefully

981
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: you can put COVID behind you again. Hopefully. Jerry Very

982
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: I love Jerry Jones. He's such a salesman because he

983
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: was like, we're one hundred percent vaccinated now if you

984
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,959
Speaker 1: include the guys that have antibodies, Like, yeah, okay, Jerry,

985
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: it's always a positive line. So it's always something positive

986
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: you can take out of every situation. They've shown up

987
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: against the division consistently for Dak's entire career, like they

988
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: were like twenty one and six against the division. That

989
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: doesn't worry me nearly as much. You just got to

990
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: get done with this awful stretch, But how much better

991
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: would it feel to be done with it having eked

992
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: out a conference win. It would feel so much And

993
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: I were, like I said, I think this is going

994
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 1: to be a miserable experience for everyone, but for some reason,

995
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: think they'll wink before we leave. You guys have both

996
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: talked about the Saints and how they have been, but

997
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: I think you guys are forgetting that we've seen it

998
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: way too many times happen where it's not necessarily on

999
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: the opponent. It's like what the Cowboys are doing themselves.

1000
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: So with everything that they've mentioned and everything that we've

1001
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: talked about during the show, of the struggles and the

1002
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: things that the Cowboys are going to have to overcome

1003
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: this week, that's why I personally don't feel confident that

1004
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, not because they're facing the Saints

1005
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: or whoever. It's because of themselves. So it doesn't matter

1006
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: to me how bad the Saints are. Right, it was

1007
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: four and four, the Chiefs were six and five, and

1008
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: the Raiders were five and five, and the Falcons were

1009
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: also four and four two, so that they played the

1010
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: last four games. Everybody's been right there either a little

1011
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: bit above or right there at five hundred and like

1012
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: she's saying, here come the Saints at five and six.

1013
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 1: So they're in that same group. And we've seen Derek

1014
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: Carr play out of his mind or we've seen guys

1015
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: finally play a great game. So that's a good point.

1016
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: Question becomes who's gonna play out of their mind? They

1017
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: do get there. The running back back, which makes a

1018
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: huge year. It's the best running back in the league. Yeah,

1019
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: he's up there. I would say best in the league.

1020
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: He's up there that I would take. And I do

1021
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: think here's the part that that does concern me a lot.

1022
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: Is there seeing a different kind of offense than what

1023
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: they've played this year. Other than the Eagles, they really

1024
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 1: haven't faced an offense where they have a running quarterback

1025
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: that is a run first option. Now here's the other

1026
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,479
Speaker 1: part to that he has. He's a run first option

1027
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: type quarterback and in addition that he's got one of

1028
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: the best running backs in the league. That presents an

1029
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: interesting dynamic for Dallas that they haven't really faced this year.

1030
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: So that's the part that could get really hairy for

1031
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: Dallas if they're not able to stop it. And stopping

1032
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: the run has not been a consistent thing for them

1033
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: this year. So if you want to look at that standpoint, yeah,

1034
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: there's some reasons Dallas could lose his game. I hate this.

1035
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: I just think they're able to. I think they're able

1036
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: to pull it out. I just like I agree with you.

1037
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: I just picked him to win. But I can just

1038
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: imagine sitting up there by the Archie Manning banner. Bring

1039
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: a jacket, by the way, if you forgot, bring a coat, coat,

1040
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: but just eat your own food before you come. Kamara

1041
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: is gonna catch a swing pass at like the eighteen

1042
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: and just make two guys with eighteen that that what

1043
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Probably, I don't know. I just as I

1044
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: think they're gonna win, but I can just I see

1045
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: some potential for exactly nofident and either way on this one,

1046
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: Oh you know what my dog does? Please? I hope

1047
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: it's not. We can hold it down. If it's to

1048
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: keep singing, stand up and get ironic. Love. No, when

1049
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: you hear that song, you know things are going to

1050
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 1: get ironic. That they their anthem is an Atlanta rap song.

1051
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: But that's for another day. All right, Thank you guys

1052
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: for joining us. We'll be back on Friday. We'll let

1053
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: you know what when right and wrong for the Cowboys.

1054
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: Still there for even Dave Helban Ambergar see you. I

1055
