14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: think it's going to be Dave. I don't think so, Amber,

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't definitely. Yeah, And uh, maybe somebody's like the

16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: best chance for anyone to be to be here a while,

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: you know, that is right Dixon Dixon safety from Alabama.

18
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: He but you know what, Tony Dixon was the last

19
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: player picked from Alabama. Almost Boscarborough absolutely, yeah, which is

20
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: kind of interesting that they have for those people listening.

21
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: He just walked past behind us. Yeah, Calvin Hill, Calvin Hill,

22
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: you know a former player who play You know, this

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: is such a sporty of the year bla blah blah.

24
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: You know. But but then Tony Dixon, this is our

25
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: lives though, right, I like it. The best chance for

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: a guy to be on the show Monday would be

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: you really yeah, I think so. That's interesting. I think

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: so because this guy's out of town going home, don't

29
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: get to go home often, and is gonna take advantage

30
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: one of New Orleans. You're gonna bring some food back.

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Maybe I could. My mom's making Mom's making gumbo on

32
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. Yes, Dave, you would be my best friend

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: in the world. If you bring me back a bowl,

34
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: I'll try. Dave is going to New Orleans three times

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: in three weeks. Maybe I'm called baby, he's calling it home. Oh,

36
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: then got a wedding on home for Christmas. I'm in

37
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: a wedding on Wildcards Saturday. That's a Sunday. Really, it's

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a Sunday. You use the Cowboys playing on

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: a Sunday, and then if the Cowboys win, they would

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: more than likely be going to New Orleans. To play

41
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: the Saints, so three times, three times, and I can't complain.

42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: It'd be nice if it all works out that well,

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: I can't complain. It would be nice if you're a

44
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: friend or whoever's getting married, would have just pushed that

45
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: one week and you're already gonna be there, right, might

46
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: just do wedding and in game, right, it would be nice. Nice.

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: Life is never that convenient. You're right about them, It's okay, yeah,

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: oh well, first world problem. Oh well, oh well, let's

49
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: make this a good show since we won't be here

50
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: for a while, so Nick, don't mess it up? All right,

51
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: all right, let's start off with inactives for this. Don't

52
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: let you read this, help me, all right? Inactives, let's

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: just go for it. Um. Apparently sak Marian is looking

54
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: pretty good. He seems like he's gonna acting ready to go.

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: Could be as tough this week as they've been in

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: a while because of how much everybody's rounding into good health.

57
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, because I was at practice a few

58
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: minutes ago, and I mean it's just Irving and Swain.

59
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: Those are the only two guys that are Those are

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 1: those are two. Mike White'll be the third. But then

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: is Tavon Austin healthy enough to be active for this game?

62
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Do you want him active for this game? Zach Martin,

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: I would bet my life he's gonna play. But do

64
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: you feel comfortable sitting Bob has Tavon Austin being at practice.

65
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: He's been using He's been limited all week, Like we

66
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: said yesterday, he was part of the pre practice walk

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: through yesterday. I don't know about today, but they're listing

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: him as limited. He ain't playing. I kind of feel

69
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: like he sits this week too, which I know that's

70
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: frustrating for people to hear at home, but you know,

71
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: you work him back deliberately, you more than likely are

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: going to play a playoff game, so you got that

73
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: to look forward to as well. So John Lee showed

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: up as limited again. I think hamstring, Mike White, Tavon Austin,

75
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: Jeff Swains Irving was driving today, driving a golf cart.

76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: That's what he was doing today. Fascinating. You should have

77
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: seen the scene at practice real quick. Yeah, no, go ahead.

78
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: They do a thing. I don't know where this started,

79
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: but they do a thing where the coaches or staff

80
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: members will catch an on sidekick. Okay, like the whole

81
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: team's around and they'll just on site kick and Ben

82
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: Bloom linebackers coach. He does it most of the time,

83
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: but they have another other guys to do it, and

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: you watch more of these. This is a Friday thing. Yeah,

85
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 1: it's a Friday tradition. Yeah, well today it was. Usually

86
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: it's just like, hey, Ben Bloom's gonna do it. He

87
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 1: comes over and catches us on sidekick. Everyone goes crazy. Whatever.

88
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: Today Ben Bloom, they said, is gonna do it. Well,

89
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: he wasn't there, Like where's Ben. He's up up in

90
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: the like in the stands, and he comes down and

91
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: they've got a golf cart over there, and then he

92
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: like the linebackers are all dry. He's driving a Sean

93
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: is and that he gets like kind of like a

94
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: wrestling entrance. He comes in and then all of a sudden,

95
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: not really but no no, then no better than that.

96
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Then they huddle up and all of a sudden, lebron style,

97
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: just like the powder just comes flying in the air

98
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: and Ben's ready to do this. He gets it. I

99
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: hope I caught it. After Oh yeah, he really couldn't

100
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: see for a second because all that was in the

101
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: way and he's like, hold on and then he kicks

102
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: it right to him. He catches it. Yeah, good for

103
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: him and you. And I looked over at Rob and

104
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: I was I just remember the one quote from Dak

105
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: yesterday and he was like, you know, we're hungry and

106
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: we're humbled by what happened last week. And I'm just

107
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: like humbled, Yeah, kidding. You want them And they look

108
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: ready to I mean, they look very upbeat and having

109
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: a good hopefully I have a good practice. And I

110
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: think this needs to be sick because there's some fan

111
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: up there right now there saying, oh my god, they're

112
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: so not understand that when you have a team, and

113
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: you have a team for how many weeks not only

114
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 1: seventeen weeks season, but you've had them since training camp,

115
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: you have to do things like this to keep guys engaged,

116
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: to keep it light so that they're not so so

117
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: focused to where they're they're too much in their own hits.

118
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: So you gotta you gotta build camaraderie, you gotta build

119
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: team like. All that stuff's a part of it. So

120
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: don't get don't get nervous, guys. It's okay, it's a game, right,

121
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: It's a really important game that's worth a lot of money,

122
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: but it's a game, and fun stuff like that is

123
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: supposed to happen. It needs to happen. All I could

124
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: think about was Ben Bloom, and I'm thinking he's got

125
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: both feet right in the building. Yeah, yeah, no doubt

126
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: about that. There was a time when we didn't know

127
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: what Ben bloom and he's had eighteen different titles here

128
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: moving around. Now he's the linebackers coaching, and the linebackers

129
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: are pretty good, and not just not just those two.

130
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Sean's good, of course, and Damian Wilson's played well and

131
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, and that's a good group. It's probably one

132
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: of the better groups to have. And that was one

133
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: of our biggest worries they have. Do you think it is?

134
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: And top to bottom? Yeah, And that's really a great

135
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: point because one of the things we've talked about with

136
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback coaches is lack of experience with an experienced quarterback. Well,

137
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of linebackers on that crew that

138
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: are not as experienced. He's not as experienced, yet they're

139
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: still being able to kind of figure that out. May

140
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: it's because of his coaching, Maybe there are other things

141
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: that play there. Maybe Sean helps a little bit there

142
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: as well, but it is I think it does deserve

143
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: to be pointed out that he's doing a good job

144
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: even with limited experience. Yeah, let me give you one

145
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: player to watch, and is Anthony Brown. Anthony Brown didn't

146
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: practice much today and he's not practicing right now back spasms.

147
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis is going to get a lot of playing

148
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: time in this game, and spasms will be one of

149
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: those things that you see Sunday. Maybe he gets a

150
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: chance to do some stuff. But are you starting to

151
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: feel a little more confident with what Jordan Lewis can

152
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: bring for you or like do for you on the field?

153
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: You know? You know? I said before the season started,

154
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: I said, my bold prediction is that at the end

155
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: of going into next year, you'll have NFL will have

156
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: the best cornerback duo in the league will be in Dallas.

157
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: And I thought Cheeto and Jordan Lewis would be the guys.

158
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: Not the case Byron and Cheeto, And I may not

159
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: be that wrong. Best best duo in the league one

160
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: two punched cornerbacks. I don't think you're Chicago. Don't they

161
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: have Mukamara. I mean they're I'm trying to think. I

162
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: think Cheeto has had a really good year. I mean

163
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: he's he's doesn't have any one interception. I think he

164
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: had one, Yeah, I mean he almost had one. Yeah,

165
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: he almost had three in that Washington game. I think

166
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: he has going up to the season. You would have

167
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: said Kansas City, but Peters is not played up to

168
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: his Peters is gone. Now I'm sorry I would have said, actually,

169
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: I was meaning the rets. I was getting there. You go, well,

170
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: but he hasn't played up to what the expectations were

171
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: he and yeah, they were expected I think by most

172
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: people to be the best. It's been a good it's

173
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: been a good group. And Anthony Brown has played well.

174
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: So to answer your question about Jordan Lewis, when he

175
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: does little niche rolls and stuff like that, he's pretty good.

176
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: But you know he's gonna have his handsful. Somebody's gonna

177
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: have to go with the Shawn Jackson a lot. And

178
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: like Evans and I'm freezing, Humphreys got Brown can't play,

179
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: then Lewis is going to have to deal with that,

180
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: which I have confidence in him to do it. But

181
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: that's a tough draw. This this passing attack is a

182
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: tough draw. It's the only thing the Bucks do well. Yeah,

183
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: and you can say, well he stick with with Kamara

184
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: and all that, but Kamar is not a route runner.

185
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean he can do it. But I mean Humphreys

186
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: is in this league because he can stop on a

187
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: diamond cut and do what Beasley does and all that.

188
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: It was eight snaps. He played great against the Saints.

189
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: He played eight snaps. So now you're talking they didn't

190
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, you're talking forty to sixty if if

191
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: prep and eye on that with Anthony Brown. Yeah, so

192
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: you have three inactives right now. Covington, I mean, Mike White, Tavon,

193
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: Austin Covington is probably a good Austin think definitely. I think.

194
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: So that's just a I mean, somebody's got to sit.

195
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: And Tavon's still coming back from that growing he's limited,

196
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: and like I said, like you you're probably get in

197
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: a playoff game out of this. So I think I

198
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: think Tavon sits. I could be wrong Covington if not,

199
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: if that's I don't know, though, I mean, do you

200
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: trust and I don't think you're going if you can,

201
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: if you can figure out a way to get Martin active.

202
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: You still feel like you need Redmond jet How many

203
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: times I mean, how many times has it happened where

204
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: sag has needed to come out the field. That's like

205
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: three times, right, or two? Or you don't know what

206
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean. That could be a situation where nothing about Suafilo, though,

207
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: is either you can or can't play. It's not something

208
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: where he starts playing in it's like, oh I really

209
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: can't play, Like take a hit to the head and

210
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: you've already got issues there and you can't. I'm going

211
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: with eight. I'm I would never know about Tyring. I

212
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: think with Martin for sure, that makes it where you should.

213
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: I don't want to sit an offensive line. Yeah, I

214
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: expect Tacco to be active. After Jerry Jones's comments this week,

215
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: I guess we'll see. Yeah, Karn Reid probably only guy

216
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: that made a play on defense last week, but he's

217
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: probably going to be an active Covington could sit. Uh

218
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: if Anthony Brown can't go, then he would sit. Does

219
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: that get us to seven? Like this is? It's it's

220
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: been very clear cut for about a month now because

221
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: there have been so many guys getting ruled out on Fridays.

222
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: But it should be a little bit of a debate

223
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, Darius Thompson's a guy that could get

224
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: yeah yeah if if yeah, yeah yeah. All right, well

225
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and take an early break this time. Um,

226
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: I want to get to a lot of questions from

230
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Oh you learned this. It's been the number for like

231
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: twenty years, but I don't know if that's right anyway,

232
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,600

00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: on the field that you really find out what he's

277
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more than

278
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: just stats and scouting reports when building their team. When

279
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on more

280
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: than just specs and features. You've got to take it

281
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: out and put it to the test. The Cowboys did

282
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: when they named John Dear their official tractor experiences one

283

286
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: to your game day prediction. Let's get this over with.

287
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh man, Okay, So Cowboys are playing the Bucks, right? Yes? Um?

288
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: I think so? This this Bucks team? For the record,

289
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: real quick. Derek wasn't here last week, so we just

290
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: assumed Oh no, no, no, no, you assumed no for

291
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: Derek that whose record at the time was eight. I

292
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: was right, no, and we said, Derek, he'll pick win. Nope, nope, nope.

293
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: And then what I tell you guys, right, have the show?

294
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: Why are you lying to fans? I'm not show the show.

295
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: He told us on Friday that he was going to

296
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: pick a loss. And why did I say they that

297
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: was gonna pick a loss? You remember, not really because

298
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: you said something about being hungry and all that stuff.

299
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: Need more. Yeah, I believe in the desperate theory, and

300
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: you have two evenly matched team that seemed this more desperate.

301
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: I think tends to win more often than everything is

302
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: lining up where on the road. I'm just saying like

303
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: that was my thought on Friday. And he also said

304
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: I if they lose this game, make sure and bring

305
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: that up on Monday. If they don't lose, no word,

306
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: I didn't want to bring that. Don't worry about it.

307
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: I'll go to my grave believing that if Derek had

308
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: sat down in front of the microphone on that Friday,

309
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: he would have wound up picking a win. No. I

310
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: made up in my mind that Monday. I was hold

311
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: on to that for the next seventy five years. Dave, Wait, why,

312
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't get it. You're gonna live He's gonna live

313
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: it up five years. Damn on, he's one to five,

314
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: make it to one hundred and five. Let's do it,

315
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: not the way. I'm not betting on that. Ya, that's

316
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: not no, I don't. I'm with you. Yeah, you've probably

317
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: not been with me on you happy to make it

318
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: to eighty anyway, that's convenient. But let me guess you're picking.

319
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: But well, I was about to say, it's the hungry team,

320
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: It's it's the Buccaneers, Like, seriously, are we having this guy?

321
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: It's the bucket. If they can't win this game. I

322
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: don't even believe it was the Titans, then it's the Titans.

323
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: If they can't win this game, silent team, you know,

324
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: whatever tends. If you're gonna pick a game, this is

325
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: like a game that's just too easy to pick. Like

326
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm actually in our Survivor. I'm picking the Cowboys this week.

327
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: I'ming about that. Still, I'm having nightmares about DeShawn Jackson

328
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: just streaking past the Dallas defense. And I'm not saying

329
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: he might not do but I still don't think that overall.

330
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: They might bust a few plays. I just don't think

331
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: they can sustain it enough to beat this team. The

332
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's the best quarterback on the field. I agree

333
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: with that that is not always the case. You know what,

334
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: we haven't done like a crazy prediction in a long time.

335
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: How about you give me one if you're crazy prediction.

336
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: All right, let me think, let me think, let me think.

337
00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: All right, This week, Cowboys will have three interceptions. About that,

338
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: three interceptions. This is a quarterback that gives them away.

339
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys aren't great a pick in the ball, but they

340
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: will have three interceptions this week. Heath is a Winston like, yeah,

341
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: pick machine, three career picks against Jabu. I'm good with that,

342
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: all right, Nick, victory win Cowboys? Did you have a

343
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: Cowboys gotta score, Derek, Yeah, you gotta score. O. Uh

344
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys win? Uh twenty seven? Uh no, I'm sorry, twenty

345
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: six to twelve. Got that sounds like a boring score,

346
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: all right. I got Dallas thirty to twenty one. I

347
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: think there'll be some field goals in this game. It's

348
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: an important game from our. Um. I think, like I said,

349
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: I think Dak is a better quarterback on this game

350
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: because Winston. Winston is a little bit more reckless with

351
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: the ball. He'll make better throws, but he'll also make,

352
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, some bad throws. I think you look at

353
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: Dak at some of the interceptions, and some of them

354
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: have been bad. Some of them haven't necessarily been on him. Um,

355
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: I think they I think they do better. My crazy prediction,

356
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: they will be one hundred percent touchdown percentage in the

357
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: red zone. Wow, that's how many? How many trips? I

358
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: don't care. One for one is okay, but right, yeah,

359
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: I can't wait till they get down there the first

360
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: time and everybody's just looking over at you. I don't like. Yeah. Yeah,

361
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say one hundred percent two two, two for two.

362
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: That's I got three touchdowns in the game. One of

363
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: them will be um, kind of a longer one. Uh

364
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: for Gallop, They're gonna connect. The time might be crazy too,

365
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: but Gallop connects with a long touchdown. But I'm gonna

366
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: go two for two down there, and not that crazy

367
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: because again, Tampa Bay. I mean, it's not even Swiss

368
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: cheese in there. It's it's worse than that. If they

369
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: can't score touchdowns in the red zone against these guys,

370
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: just give up. Just stop. Uh yeah, no, I mean

371
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: what Derek scared me, but I pretty much I agree this.

372
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: You shouldn't lose to this team at home. They've been

373
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 1: good at home, Um, and they've been in Tampa. Has

374
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: been bad at Tampa, has been bad on the road.

375
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston has not won a road start in more

376
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: than two years. Is that what our friend Taylor Stern

377
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: told us that they whipped the Saints first game of

378
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: the year, not whipped them, but they controlled that game.

379
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't Jamis, No, No, I'm just saying. And then

380
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: they haven't won a road game since. Yeah, it's bad

381
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: and they're bad the Cowboys. They should they have to

382
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: win the takeaway turnover battle. They haven't had more than

383
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: one turnover since Thanksgiving. I think that changes this week

384
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: that you gotta you should be able to get at

385
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: least two off these guys. Um, regardless of what Marlon

386
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: Mac did, I think they they will stop the run

387
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: better against this team. UM, and I don't think that

388
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: they They're too inconsistent to be one hundred percent in

389
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: the red zone, but I think I think three or

390
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: three out of four is manageable and that'll get the

391
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: job done. UM multiple takeaways better in the red zone.

392
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: I think they hit thirty points. My bold prediction. I

393
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: think dak is gonna respond on I think four four touchdowns.

394
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: He will have a hand in. Well, however you want

395
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: to divvy that up. Maybe it's three passing and a rushing.

396
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it's two and two. But big big day for

397
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: him and nice say, thirty four thirty four, twenty four

398
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: still won't be super duper comfortable because this team doesn't

399
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: play super duper comports. Yeah that okay, Which that's the

400
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: only time they do. Is that the only game this

401
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: year where fourth quarter is just kind of like Nick,

402
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: write your story, you could be done middle in the

403
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: good I mean no colts. Well, yeah, on the positive side,

404
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: because we've known Carolina, Seattle, UM, I think, and Indy obviously,

405
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: and I think there's even one more where you were like,

406
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: we know it. Oh yeah, they lost this game Carolina

407
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: in Seattle, like when we were down on the field

408
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: they were still drying me. Yeah, I don't know. I

409
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: don't could have thought. I had no confidence whatsoever they

410
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: would against Carolina and then Seattle. I know, like when

411
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: when they got picked off the second time, but it

412
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: was I think it was twenty four to thirteen at

413
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: that they were two scores down with like six minutes

414
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: to play. It didn't Carolina was a one score game

415
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: all the Deonte Thompson, Yeah, I would just the fact

416
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: that you didn't think they could, which we all probably

417
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: would kind of like I don't think this is gonna

418
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: work out. That's different than actually writing the story and

419
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: being like, hey, go and send it in. We're good,

420
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right. But I would have bet my

421
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: entire life savings that they weren't scoring against the Panthers. Um, anyway,

422
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: it won't be. It won't be that they're not. If

423
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: they win this forty to seven, then good for them.

424
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: That is an encouraging sign for what that means for

425
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah, but I just I gotta see to

426
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: believe my crazy prediction. I'm gonna say, and this is

427
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: kind of crazy because they haven't been utilized in Rico

428
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: in the red zone really, they kind of stopped doing

429
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: that after a few games. But I'm gonna say they

430
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: find a way to kind of throw Rico in there

431
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: and he will catch his first touchdown. So if he

432
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: does three this one in two next week, nah no,

433
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: nah nah, we're not gonna get the plot. Is that

434
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 1: out of the question. I mean, good, that's a good prediction.

435
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: That's a good crazy prediction. But it's crazy just I mean,

436
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: because at some point you've got to do something different, right,

437
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean you would think like, okay, well let's let's

438
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: trick this up a little bit somehow. That's not really

439
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: what Jason Garrett does though. It's more just like we

440
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: gotta do we do better. I'm gonna go to this

441
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: press conce But what they do like that need to

442
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: be able to run the football there that run the

443
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 1: football and do your little Wagon's funny because they really don't, right,

444
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: that's the point, Like they don't even do that. So

445
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't I don't know what. I

446
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: don't know what their goal really is. I shouldn't say goal.

447
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: What they're it tended best strategy is when they get

448
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: down to the reds and I have no idea, I

449
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: have no feel for what they think they do. I

450
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: just want to power, just quick, quick hitting, run to

451
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: zeke right up the middle. Just see what happened. Okay,

452
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: with that, he's gonna collide with someone and he's probably

453
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: gonna win. And okay, with a little bit more, and

454
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: then do it again as long as the dude that

455
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: he's hitting isn't already in the backfield. Yeah, because that's

456
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: no I mean, I mean being serious, I'm not being facetious. Yeah. True.

457
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: If the line can keep intact enough for him to

458
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: get to the line of scrimmage, I trust him to

459
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: win way more often than he's gonna lose. True. Well,

460
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm also peaking Dallas to win. I'm just gonna say,

461
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: like something weird, like twenty seven, twenty three, something like

462
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: that weird, not all that weird, that weird. That's that's

463
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: I like even numbers got you know, so it's kind

464
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: of when I see odd numbers twenty three. But yes,

465
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: now we have Sean on the line waiting his Tennessee, Sean,

466
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: are you there? Yeah, I'm here. What's up, Sean? Doing good?

467
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 1: Doing pretty good, just you know, working delivering the very

468
00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: important appreciate the line, that's very important job. That's what

469
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: they call us, you know. Yeah. Um, I was just

470
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: wandering on the on the rib zone, like we're within

471
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: the five long line. You think maybe we should do

472
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: some miss direction stuff too, like Martha's time when we

473
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: run the balls just like straight up the middle, like

474
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: everybody is wanting you know, everybody's attacking the middle because

475
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: they know it's coming. But like do some in the

476
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: round stuff right there. I think would would especially with

477
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: like a Maraid when he had that leven yards run

478
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: the other day. I think when we did that in

479
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: the rid Jard, I think that would you know, give

480
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: us a little more comfort in the ribs zone two

481
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: and then like uh, defensively, I just I just hope

482
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: we don't have a collapse and defense on the run

483
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to see that Mary Christmas drivers. Yeah,

484
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: I think about there is like if we mess up

485
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: our job, we can maybe fix it or do something.

486
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: But like right now he's about end a round reverse

487
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: to Mari Cooper on the goal line or whatever, and

488
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: very easily could just put the package in this house,

489
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: but it really is supposed to go to this one,

490
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: and that can change the entire scope of Christmas and

491
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: that house. That just kind of worries me a little bit,

492
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: like a lot of pressure on Sean. I really did

493
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: that guy. That guy's great at his job. He's gonna

494
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: be awesome. I'm just saying, though, this is the time

495
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: of year when, if you you know, a lot us

496
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: to everything is in this day and age like they're

497
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: the MVPs of Christmas. I haven't gone to a store

498
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: or to do Christmas shopping in five years. I haven't,

499
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: straight up, like literally at my front door right now,

500
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: there's like this pile of boxes because me and my

501
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: wife have done most of our shop actually inside the door, No,

502
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: just inside the door. But I'm just just a pile

503
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: of boxes come from you know all the place. Had

504
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: a pile of boxes at my desk since Thanksgiving. I

505
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: know you've been you've been accumulating stuff for a while.

506
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: I will say this though, about the misdirection. The one

507
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: thing you have to be a little bit careful of.

508
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: Let's say it's a mari and you're trying to send

509
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: him on an end around in the open field the defense.

510
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: What you're hoping to do is help catch him in

511
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: in a misdirection where they start flowing one way. When

512
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: you're down on the goal line. They don't have as

513
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: much ground to cover. It really is north east and

514
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: west more than north and south, and so it's harder

515
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: to really get on a play that develops so slowly

516
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: like that. It's hard to trick them into not going

517
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: the right way because they don't have as much ground

518
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: to cover behind them. It really needs to be and

519
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: this sounds weird when you're talking about a receiver, but

520
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: it needs to be a run pass option in that case,

521
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: because you see those plays like the Philly Special where

522
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: that's a reverse and there's a guy sitting there. There

523
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: needs to be maybe a shoult to somebody blocking there

524
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: if he doesn't get his guy turn around, because that's

525
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: where you saw Dez actually, you know, throw the ball

526
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: to Witten, and I think that was designed all the way.

527
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: If anybody on this team is left handed a receiver,

528
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: you don't really know that. I think I said that

529
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: to you the other day. I mean reverses with a

530
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: guy that's left handed. Norm will ever expect that coming. So,

531
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: but I would like to see maybe a shovel pads pass.

532
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: I think that's a similar thing, and I think if

533
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: you can just get it right, it does create this

534
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: this opportunity for you then to be able to just

535
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: kind of get you guy in. I think that ever

536
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: worked for the team that I'm actually well my dream.

537
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 1: I see it work against around the NFL every Sunday,

538
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: and it's just like, you're right, the Cowboys don't see

539
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: then the Cowboys do it with Schultz, they do it

540
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: with somebody. They've had a play in the playbooks since August.

541
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: It's a fake, fake end around a Tavon and a

542
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: shovel to Zeke, and they've run it two or three

543
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: times in games and it always looks like it's gonna bust,

544
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean in a good way, and then somebody makes

545
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: like a shoe string tackle. My want and my hope

546
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: for this team is since they brought him here, is

547
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: what Tavon can do in situations like that. And for

548
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: the millionth time, it's not even giving him the ball.

549
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: It's just that little bit of hesitation where the linebacker

550
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: takes a half step to his left when Tavon motions across.

551
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: I think it would make such a huge difference. He

552
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: just doesn't shoot the gap, right. Yeah. Yeah, you can't

553
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: key on it because you have to make dead sure

554
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: that he's not getting the ball, because if he does,

555
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: you're screwed. And it just it hasn't materialized. I don't

556
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: think they used him enough when he was healthy. He

557
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: hasn't been healthy for two months. Um so I already

558
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: said I don't think he's gonna play. But if he does,

559
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: I sure hope that is something that they would incorporate

560
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: into the game. Yeah, and I agree. If I was

561
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, you guys know, I'd be running fleef

562
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: Flicker at least once a game. But I for this, No, no,

563
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: the reds on, but person go up to five Fleeflicker

564
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: would love to finish the sentence. But which is yeah

565
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: coming from me, I get it, I get it. But no,

566
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is even more even more than that. Like,

567
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: my number one thing I would do with this team

568
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: is put Antoine Woods at fullback. I really would. I

569
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: would put him in there. Human law, that's what they need.

570
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: They don't have a true fullback and lead blocker like

571
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: that A Koran reads somebody, even Connor Williams, somebody that's

572
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: a little bit athletic, got some size yep, antoine woulds

573
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: I think would really? I mean that would push the pile.

574
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: How william would be a good one. Yeah, I mean

575
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: as a as a kind of an athletic fullback. Right there,

576
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Yeah, let's go ahead and take our

577
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: final break. When we come back, we'll keeps answering some

578
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: of y'all's questions. Break now. Yeah, while the player could

579
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: look good on paper, it's one he's out on the

580
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: field that you really find out what he's made of.

581
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats

582
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: and scouting reports when building their team. When picking a tractor,

583
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs

584
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

585
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: it to the test. The Cowboys did when they named

586
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,960

632
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: we Steve from New York. Stevie, Hey, how you doing?

633
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: Quick question? Well, I'm obviously hoping the Cowboys take care

634
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: of business like they should, But I want to play

635
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: Devil's advocate for a second here and ask everyone's opinion

636
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: on this. If this team loses the next two games

637
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: and they missed the playoffs, which would be an epic collapse,

638
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: is the head coach back in twenty nineteen, Absolutely no chance,

639
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: no way, And I would be so shocked if if

640
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine, I cannot imagine this scenario where Jason

641
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: Garrett would not be the coach at any point in

642
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: the year of twenty nineteen, and the date of that

643
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: game is what December? He will not be the head

644
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: coach at any point in January. If that happened, you

645
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: think you one a on the plane and then that's it.

646
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely what if they what if they lose both of

647
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: these games? But the Eagles and Redskins both lose and

648
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 1: you're still win the division. Well, then then you are

649
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: the coach. Then if that if that's the case, then

650
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: you see how the playoffs go. Right now, it's still

651
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: the same thing. If they win this weekend, I think

652
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: it's still you see how the playoffs go because they

653
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: go into the playoffs. Even if they earn it this weekend,

654
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: they go into the playoffs, and that first weekend, let's

655
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: say they play Seattle at home and and Seattle just

656
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: runs through them. I don't think there's any I don't

657
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: think there is a good chance that that he's gonna

658
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: be there. I'm gonna stand by this, like it doesn't

659
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: matter where when, what if the playoffs end, if the

660
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: season ends an utter disappointment, so that even means going

661
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: to the championship game and having a twenty one point

662
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: lead and you lose or whatever. I mean, I'm just saying,

663
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: if the ends and utter disappointment, then I think I

664
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: don't know if I just I kind of disagree with you,

665
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: like a surprised I mean it's because if they're if

666
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: they're in the championship game or the super Bowl and

667
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: they play a horrible game, Yeah, I don't think that

668
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: necessarily means he's gone. Now that may mean something for

669
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: some of the other coaches on the staff. Yeah, but

670
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if that means that you get rid

671
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: of so. Yeah, but I mean if he wins a

672
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: division title and let's just say first round lose, you're

673
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna fire me think based on that, I

674
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: think so, I don't, but I think I will it

675
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 1: lose it. Home think it depends on how it looks.

676
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: Depends on how it looks if they lose the way

677
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: they lost the Cults. Sure, if if Russell Wilson Aaron

678
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: Rodgers is them, then you know, just maybe not leads

679
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: him down there with no and it's just Amari Cooper

680
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: has a deslike catch non catch in the end zone.

681
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: Really Yeah. Yeah, I think it depends. And I also

682
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: if they get to the NFC title game and get

683
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: their doors blown off, I don't think he would be

684
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: fired because it would be their first NFC title game

685
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: appearance since nineteen ninety six. Yeah, he won't get I

686
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: can't imagine that they'll haven't gotten one. Sorry guy, the

687
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: elusive championship game. Sorry, guys, experience it? What experience it?

688
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: They give it? We one of the per because we

689
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: get here is to see a package of season tickets,

690
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: not that we ever get to use them, but families

691
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: are will take Oh yeah, no, absolutely, Um, but those

692
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: tickets are in there, and so you only need to

693
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: right because you're never gonna play three playoff games at home.

694
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: You either have a buy or you're going on the road. Yeah,

695
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: So the NFC Championship game ticket is sitting in that package,

696
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, oh, what if? What if? So nice? Anyway?

697
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: Um No, I mean, I really it's I don't think

698
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: you can definitively answer that question, even right here on

699
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve ish time. I think the one thing that

700
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: we all agree on that is in our at least

701
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: in our opinions, is definitive is if they manage to

702
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: lose both these games, and if they're not in the playoff,

703
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: Philly or Washington squeaks in to that to win the division,

704
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: then I think it's gonna be hard for me to

705
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: imagine a scenario where the Ultiman price is at the

706
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: head coach is gone. I can't. I cannot imagine them

707
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: seeing the playoffs when you, I mean, you run the

708
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: math on how near a certainty it was yeah, I

709
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: can't imagine, but it would be that would mean that

710
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: it was an epic collapse, one of the worst collapses.

711
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: That would mean two of those final three losses were

712
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: against teams that aren't even in the playoffs and are

713
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: far from the playoffs that you lost, and one of

714
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: them being at home. I just that would be an

715
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: epic collapse. And I just think that would be why

716
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: it would be so hard for him to imagine a

717
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: scenario where he would be back depending on what plays

718
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: out with the Colts. Who could have all three of

719
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: those losses come to non playoff teams. I know the

720
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: Cults are hot right now, but they're not in the playoffs.

721
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: So let's see. Here's a different question from Justin Farrell

722
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: through Twitter. What is the key matchup the Cowboys have

723
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: to win in order to beat the Bucks? The O

724
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: line versus the D line or Dallas secondary versus Tampas

725
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I'm gonna give I'm gonna give the O

726
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: line the benefit of the doubt because I expect the

727
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: two starters to be back. I think Superphilo and Zach

728
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: will be there, so I think that will be better.

729
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: And I mean, the only thing Tampa does well is

730
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: throw the ball, and so I think this is big

731
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: for Byron Jones. Think he's going to see a lot

732
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: of Mike Evans. Obviously, Deshan Jackson's going to play in

733
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: this game. He has caught a lot of long touchdowns

734
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: against this team in the past. So that's the big

735
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: one for me. If you can even just have moderate

736
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: success against those guys, you should be fine. I think,

737
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: with only two games left in the season, what are

738
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: realistic flaws they can rectify over these next two games

739
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: to give them confidence going into the playoffs. The one

740
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: they need to rectify is the red zone. We'll have

741
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: to wait and see if they can. But to me,

742
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: of all the issues you would point at for the two,

743
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: to me, that's the one that if you get that right,

744
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: if you get that right, you change the complexion of

745
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: your team, because that's been their biggest achilles heal. All

746
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: sees how many times we've seen them being able to

747
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 1: move the ball in games up and down the field.

748
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: It was a Coast game at the beginning first half.

749
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: They were moving the ball well, they just couldn't score.

750
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: And so if they can get that part fixed, I

751
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: think everything else that you see as a problem, I

752
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: think becomes a much less problem because then your defense

753
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: is playing well, you're scoring, that's what you need. Imagine

754
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: what it would do for their confidence to have Like

755
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: if Nick's right and they go four for four in

756
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: the red zone, score thirty four points. We've touched down

757
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: every time you go down there, even if I mean,

758
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: I know the Bucks are bad at it, but I

759
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: just think that would do wonders for the confidence of

760
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: the play caller, the quarterback, the running back, everybody, if

761
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 1: if they had a game that that good. Yeah, I agree.

762
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: Here's a fun question. What existing players seem to be misused,

763
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: like Byron was that could transition to a different role

764
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: next year. Antoine Woods could be playing full kidding the

765
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: obvious one is and I can hear the fans screaming it,

766
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: which something to keep an eye on. But Lyle Collins

767
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: back to guart Connor Williams, I did I mean? And

768
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: that's you know, people people will yell at us because

769
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: we you know, I sit here and tell you, like, well,

770
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: Byron's the safety, He's not gonna play carn Like I'm

771
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: not trying. I'm not an analyst. I'm not trying to

772
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: tell you what I think is best. I'm saying that's

773
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: what they think, and so you never know these types

774
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: of things until the coach has come around on it. Basically,

775
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: like if you ask Jason Garrett about Lyle Collins right now,

776
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: he'd say, well, we think he's he's best suited to

777
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: play tackle in March. It could be a whole other story,

778
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: and then they'll act like it was their idea all along.

779
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: That's We've talked about that before with Connor. So I

780
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't I don't know that Lyle will move.

781
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: I don't know that Connor will move, but it is

782
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: something that I would have my eye on. With the

783
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: way this line has struggled this year and trying to

784
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: find a home for Connor long term, it's just something

785
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: that I would consider the only other choice. And this

786
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: list would have to take a little bit of you know,

787
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: weight room work and all that. But the only thing

788
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 1: I could think of would be Noah Brown, maybe a

789
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: tied end, but he just doesn't seem like he's huh,

790
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't you have to gain it? That's a lot more weight.

791
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: He's self tall, he's six two, he's forty pounds underweight. Yeah,

792
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: he'd have to gain him. I don't wait. I think, yeah,

793
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: he's a big he's a big receig. He does a

794
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: lot of things that are similar to a sighting. I

795
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: mean him being on the team. To me, I think

796
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: next year, you don't need four tight ends if you're

797
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: going to keep him at all. So they got to

798
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: figure out the tight end situation. So he may not

799
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: be a tight end, but he might be the type

800
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: of player that keeps you from having to go along there.

801
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: Those are the only ones that come to mind for me, though. Yeah,

802
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: maybe I'm forgetting somebody. But I was thinking. I was

803
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: talking about this yesterday on the Spanish podcast, and it's

804
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: crazy to think that several months ago we were all

805
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: talking about the possibility of releasing Byron Jones or people asking,

806
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, are saying wanting the Cowboys to cut Byron

807
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: and move on from him. And look at where he

808
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: is now, making the Pro Bowl at a cornerback. It's amazing.

809
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: I can't believe they gave him the fifth year option. Yeah,

810
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: and they're very they're very happy with themselves for doing that.

811
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: Now they have to sign him. But isn't that all

812
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: about Christmas? Shark? All about coaching man, it is, but

813
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: but I think he laid down the foundation and I

814
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: don't think if he leaves it's not gonna no, no, no.

815
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: What I mean is the decision to go with the

816
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: fifth year option because he saw a vision for the

817
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: player that was different maybe than what they were seeing.

818
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,479
Speaker 1: I'll give you know, I'll get Tim Tamble is really bad. Sorry,

819
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: but that happened after Chris Rushard was already hired. It's

820
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: a great remember. Oh well, it's like May May for

821
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: the next year. Yeah, yes, May, yeah, yes, he was

822
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: already here and then they made the decision. I love

823
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: the dichotomy. But you know, I asked Jason Garrett. I

824
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: asked Jason Garrett point blank. I said, what was Chris

825
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: Rashard's role in the decision to move Byron Jones the corner?

826
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: He said, well, it's a collect it's a collective decision

827
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: we all talk about. Of course, as the defensive backs coach.

828
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: Chris had a really big part in that, but that's

829
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: we all get together and YadA YadA, YadA, kumbaya um.

830
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: And then I asked Rod Marinelli on Thursday, and he

831
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: was like, day one, Chris Rashard walked in here and said,

832
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: this guy's got the length, this guy's got the athleticism,

833
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: this is my kind of corner. We need this guy

834
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: playing corner. And I was like, thank you, Rod, thank

835
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: you for answering the question. And it has goodness gracious,

836
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: what a what a call on Christoph Shard's part. And

837
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: think about it, all these years, they had an opportunity

838
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: to say that long time ago that he needs to

839
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: be playing corner. They did not, So you could say

840
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: it was a group decision, but that group decision hadn't

841
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: been made up until this year when Christoph Shard got

842
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: here and said, that's the kind of guy. You know.

843
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: The thing about it was is that, I mean, he

844
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: wasn't playing well at safety. In fact, Cavan Frasier was

845
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: split in time with him at the end of the

846
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: season there at safety, so like he kind of needed

847
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: a home and he was a he founded average average

848
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: safety to a Pro Bowl corner. And you know, the

849
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys he's got another year on his deal. It's worth

850
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: noting and and I'm sure the Cowboys are interested in

851
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: bringing him back. But either way, just from Byron standpoint,

852
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 1: like he's going to make a ton of money somewhere

853
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: because of that decision, So like, you know, send Chris

854
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: Richard a Christmas card basically, and he's really good on

855
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: No Moss. J Yeah, well he's I mean a g

856
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: and Bayern her thickest thieves, like they're the homies. Yeah

857
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: for a moment, but he's got a little bit well

858
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: he's into art, so that closer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, if

859
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: you guys do know what I mean, there's a show

860
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: called No Moss. We do that, Amber does, um and

861
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 1: she's got you had Byron Jones with Rico this week.

862
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: Really good episode, I thought, so if you guys check

863
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: it out. Why an't we publishing that today? Yes? Yesterday? Yesterday?

864
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: Makes you go check that out? Really? Thanks Derek. I

865
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: saw it at my desk. I didn't watched it, so

866
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, you guys go check it out. A really good,

867
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: really good episode. Thank you. Well here's I don't know

868
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: if we have time, I guess not. One last question, maybe, UI,

869
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: what is the ceiling for Blake, Jarwin and Dalton shots

870
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: We've seen them kind of progress in the past couple

871
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: of weeks. Do you see them having a good future

872
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: here in Dallas? It's a good question, Um, I think

873
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: the answer to each of those questions is yes. I

874
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: think the answer to both of them him is no,

875
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't need I don't need Jarwin and Dalton Schultz

876
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: both here. Why not? Because they're both just okay, and

877
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: I need someone better than that, and I'm gonna draft

878
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,959
Speaker 1: someone that's gonna be better than that, and I gotta

879
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: keep swaying and one of those two guys, I don't

880
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: need them both. Let me ask you this. You look

881
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: around the NFL and they are only a handful of teams,

882
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: three or four teams that have a dominant tight end.

883
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: Most of them, and these are even good teams. Most

884
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: of them have a tight end that's kind of in

885
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: that same boat. Yeah, average guy, use him as you

886
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: need to use him, especially if you have a lot

887
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: of talent at wide receiver and or running back. Then

888
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: the tight end is just a guy that can catch

889
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 1: a few passes here and there for you and can block.

890
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: So if you do you draft the tight end this year, yeah,

891
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I'm less and less thinking it has

892
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: to be my second round picking. Okay, let's say you

893
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: draft the tight end in the third or fourth round,

894
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: and he's pretty good and he's got some athleticism. Okay,

895
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: he's making the team and Swam comes back and he's

896
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: gonna make the team. You need you're right, Well, I

897
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: get not a lock to be here. It's not a

898
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: lock either. I get all that. I'm just saying, though

899
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: my opinion has changed. Oh, you know how they were

900
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: talking about before the season, do you need to have

901
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: a number one wide receiver. I think that's been proven.

902
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: You need somebody that can take that pressure off your

903
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: your running game. But I don't know that it's been

904
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that I believe right now that you

905
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: have to have a tight end the caliber of Jason

906
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: Witten in order to be you kind of do I

907
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 1: mean it's been I mean, based on what you've watched

908
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: right now, Dac needs doc kind of help. He needs

909
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: a tight end that he can trust, that he can't

910
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: rely on, that can catch the ball and make I

911
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: mean that's nice, that's nice, But I don't know if

912
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: that necessarily is gonna make dak Okay appreciably that the

913
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: question of those two guys, My answer is, I just

914
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: don't know how many average tight ends you need, So

915
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I need them both. Although I

916
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: will say I if they get better, that's fine, and

917
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: I think Schultz can maybe get better. We are seeing

918
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: exactly why Schultz was picked, and obviously it's delayed. You

919
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: would have preferred to see it from day one. That's fine.

920
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: But he's a smart guy. He's a better seven. He

921
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: gets credit for. He has shown he's grown leaps and

922
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: bounds because in the month that he's been active, much

923
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: like Connor Williams, give him a year or two in

924
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: an NFL weight program, like I absolutely believe he could

925
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: be a starting caliber tight end. I still disagree just

926
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: because I think your second or third round pick should

927
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: be a tight end this year, just in the interest

928
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: of increasing the talent level. Yea, but I'm happy with

929
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: all three of those guys, really, and I don't know

930
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: nothing against Rico. He just hasn't shown as much. Yeah, well,

931
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: let's come in this weekend. Let's go. He's gotta get

932
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: five gets going this weekend. But at least now you

933
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: have people um enjoy this weekend and have a merry Christmas.

934
