0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to another episode of The Break. I believe

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>this is our last one for a few days. Right,

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>we won't be back here on Derek, do you know

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the schedule? We will not be here on Monday. We

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>will not be here on Tuesday. We'll do shows on Wednesday,

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.519
<v Speaker 1>Thursday and Friday we go. I believe Monday we are

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>joint show. This joint show, one joint show. And I

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>think it's going to be Dave. I don't think so, Amber,

0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't definitely. Yeah, And uh, maybe somebody's like the

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>best chance for anyone to be to be here a while,

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:10.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, that is right Dixon Dixon safety from Alabama.

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>He but you know what, Tony Dixon was the last

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>player picked from Alabama. Almost Boscarborough absolutely, yeah, which is

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of interesting that they have for those people listening.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:25.320
<v Speaker 1>He just walked past behind us. Yeah, Calvin Hill, Calvin Hill,

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>you know a former player who play You know, this

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>is such a sporty of the year bla blah blah.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>You know. But but then Tony Dixon, this is our

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 1>lives though, right, I like it. The best chance for

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a guy to be on the show Monday would be

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you really yeah, I think so. That's interesting. I think

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>so because this guy's out of town going home, don't

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>get to go home often, and is gonna take advantage

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>one of New Orleans. You're gonna bring some food back.

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I could. My mom's making Mom's making gumbo on

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Eve. Yes, Dave, you would be my best friend

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>in the world. If you bring me back a bowl,

0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll try. Dave is going to New Orleans three times

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>in three weeks. Maybe I'm called baby, he's calling it home. Oh,

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>then got a wedding on home for Christmas. I'm in

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>a wedding on Wildcards Saturday. That's a Sunday. Really, it's

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a Sunday. You use the Cowboys playing on

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>a Sunday, and then if the Cowboys win, they would

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>more than likely be going to New Orleans. To play

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the Saints, so three times, three times, and I can't complain.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>It'd be nice if it all works out that well,

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't complain. It would be nice if you're a

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>friend or whoever's getting married, would have just pushed that

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>one week and you're already gonna be there, right, might

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>just do wedding and in game, right, it would be nice. Nice.

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Life is never that convenient. You're right about them, It's okay, yeah,

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 1>oh well, first world problem. Oh well, oh well, let's

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>make this a good show since we won't be here

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>for a while, so Nick, don't mess it up? All right,

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's start off with inactives for this. Don't

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>let you read this, help me, all right? Inactives, let's

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>just go for it. Um. Apparently sak Marian is looking

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. He seems like he's gonna acting ready to go.

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Could be as tough this week as they've been in

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>a while because of how much everybody's rounding into good health.

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean yeah, because I was at practice a few

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 1>minutes ago, and I mean it's just Irving and Swain.

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Those are the only two guys that are Those are

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.839
<v Speaker 1>those are two. Mike White'll be the third. But then

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 1>is Tavon Austin healthy enough to be active for this game?

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you want him active for this game? Zach Martin,

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I would bet my life he's gonna play. But do

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you feel comfortable sitting Bob has Tavon Austin being at practice.

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>He's been using He's been limited all week, Like we

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>said yesterday, he was part of the pre practice walk

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>through yesterday. I don't know about today, but they're listing

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>him as limited. He ain't playing. I kind of feel

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>like he sits this week too, which I know that's

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>frustrating for people to hear at home, but you know,

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>you work him back deliberately, you more than likely are

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>going to play a playoff game, so you got that

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>to look forward to as well. So John Lee showed

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>up as limited again. I think hamstring, Mike White, Tavon Austin,

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Swains Irving was driving today, driving a golf cart.

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>That's what he was doing today. Fascinating. You should have

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>seen the scene at practice real quick. Yeah, no, go ahead.

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.359
<v Speaker 1>They do a thing. I don't know where this started,

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>but they do a thing where the coaches or staff

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>members will catch an on sidekick. Okay, like the whole

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>team's around and they'll just on site kick and Ben

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Bloom linebackers coach. He does it most of the time,

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>but they have another other guys to do it, and

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>you watch more of these. This is a Friday thing. Yeah,

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:40.239
<v Speaker 1>it's a Friday tradition. Yeah, well today it was. Usually

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just like, hey, Ben Bloom's gonna do it. He

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.559
<v Speaker 1>comes over and catches us on sidekick. Everyone goes crazy. Whatever.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Today Ben Bloom, they said, is gonna do it. Well,

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't there, Like where's Ben. He's up up in

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 1>the like in the stands, and he comes down and

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 1>they've got a golf cart over there, and then he

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.159
<v Speaker 1>like the linebackers are all dry. He's driving a Sean

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>is and that he gets like kind of like a

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 1>wrestling entrance. He comes in and then all of a sudden,

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>not really but no no, then no better than that.

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Then they huddle up and all of a sudden, lebron style,

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>just like the powder just comes flying in the air

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and Ben's ready to do this. He gets it. I

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>hope I caught it. After Oh yeah, he really couldn't

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>see for a second because all that was in the

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.359
<v Speaker 1>way and he's like, hold on and then he kicks

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>it right to him. He catches it. Yeah, good for

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>him and you. And I looked over at Rob and

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 1>I was I just remember the one quote from Dak

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and he was like, you know, we're hungry and

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 1>we're humbled by what happened last week. And I'm just

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>like humbled, Yeah, kidding. You want them And they look

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 1>ready to I mean, they look very upbeat and having

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a good hopefully I have a good practice. And I

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>think this needs to be sick because there's some fan

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>up there right now there saying, oh my god, they're

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 1>so not understand that when you have a team, and

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you have a team for how many weeks not only

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.239
<v Speaker 1>seventeen weeks season, but you've had them since training camp,

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you have to do things like this to keep guys engaged,

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to keep it light so that they're not so so

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>focused to where they're they're too much in their own hits.

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>So you gotta you gotta build camaraderie, you gotta build

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>team like. All that stuff's a part of it. So

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.280
<v Speaker 1>don't get don't get nervous, guys. It's okay, it's a game, right,

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>It's a really important game that's worth a lot of money,

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>but it's a game, and fun stuff like that is

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>supposed to happen. It needs to happen. All I could

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>think about was Ben Bloom, and I'm thinking he's got

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>both feet right in the building. Yeah, yeah, no doubt

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>about that. There was a time when we didn't know

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>what Ben bloom and he's had eighteen different titles here

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>moving around. Now he's the linebackers coaching, and the linebackers

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>are pretty good, and not just not just those two.

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Sean's good, of course, and Damian Wilson's played well and

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, and that's a good group. It's probably one

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>of the better groups to have. And that was one

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 1>of our biggest worries they have. Do you think it is?

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>And top to bottom? Yeah, And that's really a great

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 1>point because one of the things we've talked about with

0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback coaches is lack of experience with an experienced quarterback. Well,

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>he's got a lot of linebackers on that crew that

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 1>are not as experienced. He's not as experienced, yet they're

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.359
<v Speaker 1>still being able to kind of figure that out. May

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>it's because of his coaching, Maybe there are other things

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that play there. Maybe Sean helps a little bit there

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 1>as well, but it is I think it does deserve

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 1>to be pointed out that he's doing a good job

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>even with limited experience. Yeah, let me give you one

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>player to watch, and is Anthony Brown. Anthony Brown didn't

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>practice much today and he's not practicing right now back spasms.

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Lewis is going to get a lot of playing

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>time in this game, and spasms will be one of

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>those things that you see Sunday. Maybe he gets a

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>chance to do some stuff. But are you starting to

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>feel a little more confident with what Jordan Lewis can

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>bring for you or like do for you on the field?

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>You know? You know? I said before the season started,

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I said, my bold prediction is that at the end

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>of going into next year, you'll have NFL will have

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the best cornerback duo in the league will be in Dallas.

0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>And I thought Cheeto and Jordan Lewis would be the guys.

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Not the case Byron and Cheeto, And I may not

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>be that wrong. Best best duo in the league one

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>two punched cornerbacks. I don't think you're Chicago. Don't they

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>have Mukamara. I mean they're I'm trying to think. I

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 1>think Cheeto has had a really good year. I mean

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>he's he's doesn't have any one interception. I think he

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 1>had one, Yeah, I mean he almost had one. Yeah,

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>he almost had three in that Washington game. I think

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>he has going up to the season. You would have

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>said Kansas City, but Peters is not played up to

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>his Peters is gone. Now I'm sorry I would have said, actually,

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I was meaning the rets. I was getting there. You go, well,

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>but he hasn't played up to what the expectations were

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>he and yeah, they were expected I think by most

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>people to be the best. It's been a good it's

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.559
<v Speaker 1>been a good group. And Anthony Brown has played well.

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 1>So to answer your question about Jordan Lewis, when he

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>does little niche rolls and stuff like that, he's pretty good.

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>But you know he's gonna have his handsful. Somebody's gonna

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>have to go with the Shawn Jackson a lot. And

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 1>like Evans and I'm freezing, Humphreys got Brown can't play,

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>then Lewis is going to have to deal with that,

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>which I have confidence in him to do it. But

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a tough draw. This this passing attack is a

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 1>tough draw. It's the only thing the Bucks do well. Yeah,

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and you can say, well he stick with with Kamara

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and all that, but Kamar is not a route runner.

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean he can do it. But I mean Humphreys

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>is in this league because he can stop on a

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>diamond cut and do what Beasley does and all that.

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>It was eight snaps. He played great against the Saints.

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>He played eight snaps. So now you're talking they didn't

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.839
<v Speaker 1>do it. Yeah, you're talking forty to sixty if if

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>prep and eye on that with Anthony Brown. Yeah, so

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you have three inactives right now. Covington, I mean, Mike White, Tavon,

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Austin Covington is probably a good Austin think definitely. I think.

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's just a I mean, somebody's got to sit.

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.559
<v Speaker 1>And Tavon's still coming back from that growing he's limited,

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and like I said, like you you're probably get in

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>a playoff game out of this. So I think I

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>think Tavon sits. I could be wrong Covington if not,

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>if that's I don't know, though, I mean, do you

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>trust and I don't think you're going if you can,

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 1>if you can figure out a way to get Martin active.

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>You still feel like you need Redmond jet How many

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 1>times I mean, how many times has it happened where

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 1>sag has needed to come out the field. That's like

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 1>three times, right, or two? Or you don't know what

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean. That could be a situation where nothing about Suafilo, though,

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>is either you can or can't play. It's not something

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>where he starts playing in it's like, oh I really

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>can't play, Like take a hit to the head and

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>you've already got issues there and you can't. I'm going

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>with eight. I'm I would never know about Tyring. I

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>think with Martin for sure, that makes it where you should.

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to sit an offensive line. Yeah, I

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>expect Tacco to be active. After Jerry Jones's comments this week,

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess we'll see. Yeah, Karn Reid probably only guy

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 1>that made a play on defense last week, but he's

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>probably going to be an active Covington could sit. Uh

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 1>if Anthony Brown can't go, then he would sit. Does

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 1>that get us to seven? Like this is? It's it's

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>been very clear cut for about a month now because

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>there have been so many guys getting ruled out on Fridays.

0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>But it should be a little bit of a debate

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 1>this week. Yeah, Darius Thompson's a guy that could get

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah if if yeah, yeah yeah. All right, well

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 1>let's go ahead and take an early break this time. Um,

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I want to get to a lot of questions from

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys listening. If you want to tweet at us

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>at Cowboys break or give us a call at Derek,

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>what's the number? Nine seven? Oh? Is that right? Yeah? Sure,

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh you learned this. It's been the number for like

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty years, but I don't know if that's right anyway,

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. All right,

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 1>give us a call, and then when we come back,

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.839

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.079
<v Speaker 1>player can look good on paper, it's when he's out

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>on the field that you really find out what he's

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>made of. That's why the Cowboys rely on more than

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 1>just stats and scouting reports when building their team. When

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 1>picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on more

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.319
<v Speaker 1>than just specs and features. You've got to take it

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>out and put it to the test. The Cowboys did

0:13:56.320 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>when they named John Dear their official tractor experiences one

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.720

<v Speaker 1>to your game day prediction. Let's get this over with.

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, Okay, So Cowboys are playing the Bucks, right? Yes? Um?

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I think so? This this Bucks team? For the record,

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>real quick. Derek wasn't here last week, so we just

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>assumed Oh no, no, no, no, you assumed no for

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Derek that whose record at the time was eight. I

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>was right, no, and we said, Derek, he'll pick win. Nope, nope, nope.

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>And then what I tell you guys, right, have the show?

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Why are you lying to fans? I'm not show the show.

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 1>He told us on Friday that he was going to

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>pick a loss. And why did I say they that

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>was gonna pick a loss? You remember, not really because

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you said something about being hungry and all that stuff.

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Need more. Yeah, I believe in the desperate theory, and

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you have two evenly matched team that seemed this more desperate.

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I think tends to win more often than everything is

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 1>lining up where on the road. I'm just saying like

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 1>that was my thought on Friday. And he also said

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I if they lose this game, make sure and bring

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that up on Monday. If they don't lose, no word,

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to bring that. Don't worry about it.

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll go to my grave believing that if Derek had

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 1>sat down in front of the microphone on that Friday,

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>he would have wound up picking a win. No. I

0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 1>made up in my mind that Monday. I was hold

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>on to that for the next seventy five years. Dave, Wait, why,

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it. You're gonna live He's gonna live

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>it up five years. Damn on, he's one to five,

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 1>make it to one hundred and five. Let's do it,

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>not the way. I'm not betting on that. Ya, that's

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>not no, I don't. I'm with you. Yeah, you've probably

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 1>not been with me on you happy to make it

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to eighty anyway, that's convenient. But let me guess you're picking.

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>But well, I was about to say, it's the hungry team,

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>It's it's the Buccaneers, Like, seriously, are we having this guy?

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.640
<v Speaker 1>It's the bucket. If they can't win this game. I

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 1>don't even believe it was the Titans, then it's the Titans.

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 1>If they can't win this game, silent team, you know,

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever tends. If you're gonna pick a game, this is

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>like a game that's just too easy to pick. Like

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually in our Survivor. I'm picking the Cowboys this week.

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I'ming about that. Still, I'm having nightmares about DeShawn Jackson

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 1>just streaking past the Dallas defense. And I'm not saying

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 1>he might not do but I still don't think that overall.

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>They might bust a few plays. I just don't think

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 1>they can sustain it enough to beat this team. The

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott's the best quarterback on the field. I agree

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>with that that is not always the case. You know what,

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 1>we haven't done like a crazy prediction in a long time.

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 1>How about you give me one if you're crazy prediction.

0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, let me think, let me think, let me think.

0:16:55.320 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, This week, Cowboys will have three interceptions. About that,

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.480
<v Speaker 1>three interceptions. This is a quarterback that gives them away.

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys aren't great a pick in the ball, but they

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 1>will have three interceptions this week. Heath is a Winston like, yeah,

0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 1>pick machine, three career picks against Jabu. I'm good with that,

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 1>all right, Nick, victory win Cowboys? Did you have a

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys gotta score, Derek, Yeah, you gotta score. O. Uh

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys win? Uh twenty seven? Uh no, I'm sorry, twenty

0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:38.200
<v Speaker 1>six to twelve. Got that sounds like a boring score,

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:42.920
<v Speaker 1>all right. I got Dallas thirty to twenty one. I

0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>think there'll be some field goals in this game. It's

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 1>an important game from our. Um. I think, like I said,

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Dak is a better quarterback on this game

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.639
<v Speaker 1>because Winston. Winston is a little bit more reckless with

0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball. He'll make better throws, but he'll also make,

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, some bad throws. I think you look at

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:00.399
<v Speaker 1>Dak at some of the interceptions, and some of them

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 1>have been bad. Some of them haven't necessarily been on him. Um,

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I think they I think they do better. My crazy prediction,

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 1>they will be one hundred percent touchdown percentage in the

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:17.399
<v Speaker 1>red zone. Wow, that's how many? How many trips? I

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:22.240
<v Speaker 1>don't care. One for one is okay, but right, yeah,

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait till they get down there the first

0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.680
<v Speaker 1>time and everybody's just looking over at you. I don't like. Yeah. Yeah,

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say one hundred percent two two, two for two.

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 1>That's I got three touchdowns in the game. One of

0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 1>them will be um, kind of a longer one. Uh

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.919
<v Speaker 1>for Gallop, They're gonna connect. The time might be crazy too,

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 1>but Gallop connects with a long touchdown. But I'm gonna

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 1>go two for two down there, and not that crazy

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 1>because again, Tampa Bay. I mean, it's not even Swiss

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.159
<v Speaker 1>cheese in there. It's it's worse than that. If they

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>can't score touchdowns in the red zone against these guys,

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.679
<v Speaker 1>just give up. Just stop. Uh yeah, no, I mean

0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>what Derek scared me, but I pretty much I agree this.

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.600
<v Speaker 1>You shouldn't lose to this team at home. They've been

0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:04.959
<v Speaker 1>good at home, Um, and they've been in Tampa. Has

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:06.920
<v Speaker 1>been bad at Tampa, has been bad on the road.

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Jamis Winston has not won a road start in more

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.560
<v Speaker 1>than two years. Is that what our friend Taylor Stern

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 1>told us that they whipped the Saints first game of

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the year, not whipped them, but they controlled that game.

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.439
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't Jamis, No, No, I'm just saying. And then

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.160
<v Speaker 1>they haven't won a road game since. Yeah, it's bad

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.879
<v Speaker 1>and they're bad the Cowboys. They should they have to

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.080
<v Speaker 1>win the takeaway turnover battle. They haven't had more than

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.360
<v Speaker 1>one turnover since Thanksgiving. I think that changes this week

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that you gotta you should be able to get at

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.920
<v Speaker 1>least two off these guys. Um, regardless of what Marlon

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:39.919
<v Speaker 1>Mac did, I think they they will stop the run

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 1>better against this team. UM, and I don't think that

0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 1>they They're too inconsistent to be one hundred percent in

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.399
<v Speaker 1>the red zone, but I think I think three or

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:49.800
<v Speaker 1>three out of four is manageable and that'll get the

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>job done. UM multiple takeaways better in the red zone.

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I think they hit thirty points. My bold prediction. I

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 1>think dak is gonna respond on I think four four touchdowns.

0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>He will have a hand in. Well, however you want

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.240
<v Speaker 1>to divvy that up. Maybe it's three passing and a rushing.

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's two and two. But big big day for

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:15.400
<v Speaker 1>him and nice say, thirty four thirty four, twenty four

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:19.159
<v Speaker 1>still won't be super duper comfortable because this team doesn't

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 1>play super duper comports. Yeah that okay, Which that's the

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.200
<v Speaker 1>only time they do. Is that the only game this

0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 1>year where fourth quarter is just kind of like Nick,

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:30.879
<v Speaker 1>write your story, you could be done middle in the

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:35.440
<v Speaker 1>good I mean no colts. Well, yeah, on the positive side,

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:43.120
<v Speaker 1>because we've known Carolina, Seattle, UM, I think, and Indy obviously,

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 1>and I think there's even one more where you were like,

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>we know it. Oh yeah, they lost this game Carolina

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:50.720
<v Speaker 1>in Seattle, like when we were down on the field

0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 1>they were still drying me. Yeah, I don't know. I

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:58.679
<v Speaker 1>don't could have thought. I had no confidence whatsoever they

0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:02.360
<v Speaker 1>would against Carolina and then Seattle. I know, like when

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 1>when they got picked off the second time, but it

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 1>was I think it was twenty four to thirteen at

0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>that they were two scores down with like six minutes

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 1>to play. It didn't Carolina was a one score game

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.360
<v Speaker 1>all the Deonte Thompson, Yeah, I would just the fact

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.359
<v Speaker 1>that you didn't think they could, which we all probably

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:17.640
<v Speaker 1>would kind of like I don't think this is gonna

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 1>work out. That's different than actually writing the story and

0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>being like, hey, go and send it in. We're good,

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you're right, you're right. But I would have bet my

0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 1>entire life savings that they weren't scoring against the Panthers. Um, anyway,

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:32.800
<v Speaker 1>it won't be. It won't be that they're not. If

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 1>they win this forty to seven, then good for them.

0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>That is an encouraging sign for what that means for

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. Yeah, but I just I gotta see to

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 1>believe my crazy prediction. I'm gonna say, and this is

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:47.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of crazy because they haven't been utilized in Rico

0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.160
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone really, they kind of stopped doing

0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that after a few games. But I'm gonna say they

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 1>find a way to kind of throw Rico in there

0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and he will catch his first touchdown. So if he

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 1>does three this one in two next week, nah no,

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 1>nah nah, we're not gonna get the plot. Is that

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.360
<v Speaker 1>out of the question. I mean, good, that's a good prediction.

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a good crazy prediction. But it's crazy just I mean,

0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:21.199
<v Speaker 1>because at some point you've got to do something different, right,

0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean you would think like, okay, well let's let's

0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>trick this up a little bit somehow. That's not really

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.159
<v Speaker 1>what Jason Garrett does though. It's more just like we

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 1>gotta do we do better. I'm gonna go to this

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>press conce But what they do like that need to

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 1>be able to run the football there that run the

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:39.959
<v Speaker 1>football and do your little Wagon's funny because they really don't, right,

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that's the point, Like they don't even do that. So

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't I don't know what. I

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:46.119
<v Speaker 1>don't know what their goal really is. I shouldn't say goal.

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 1>What they're it tended best strategy is when they get

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:51.639
<v Speaker 1>down to the reds and I have no idea, I

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:53.159
<v Speaker 1>have no feel for what they think they do. I

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 1>just want to power, just quick, quick hitting, run to

0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 1>zeke right up the middle. Just see what happened. Okay,

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 1>with that, he's gonna collide with someone and he's probably

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:06.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna win. And okay, with a little bit more, and

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:08.639
<v Speaker 1>then do it again as long as the dude that

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:12.080
<v Speaker 1>he's hitting isn't already in the backfield. Yeah, because that's

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.880
<v Speaker 1>no I mean, I mean being serious, I'm not being facetious. Yeah. True.

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 1>If the line can keep intact enough for him to

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:20.440
<v Speaker 1>get to the line of scrimmage, I trust him to

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.440
<v Speaker 1>win way more often than he's gonna lose. True. Well,

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm also peaking Dallas to win. I'm just gonna say,

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:30.639
<v Speaker 1>like something weird, like twenty seven, twenty three, something like

0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:33.399
<v Speaker 1>that weird, not all that weird, that weird. That's that's

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I like even numbers got you know, so it's kind

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:40.679
<v Speaker 1>of when I see odd numbers twenty three. But yes,

0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 1>now we have Sean on the line waiting his Tennessee, Sean,

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:49.120
<v Speaker 1>are you there? Yeah, I'm here. What's up, Sean? Doing good?

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Doing pretty good, just you know, working delivering the very

0:23:54.720 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 1>important appreciate the line, that's very important job. That's what

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>they call us, you know. Yeah. Um, I was just

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 1>wandering on the on the rib zone, like we're within

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the five long line. You think maybe we should do

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 1>some miss direction stuff too, like Martha's time when we

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.000
<v Speaker 1>run the balls just like straight up the middle, like

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:21.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody is wanting you know, everybody's attacking the middle because

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 1>they know it's coming. But like do some in the

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 1>round stuff right there. I think would would especially with

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 1>like a Maraid when he had that leven yards run

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the other day. I think when we did that in

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the rid Jard, I think that would you know, give

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 1>us a little more comfort in the ribs zone two

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and then like uh, defensively, I just I just hope

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:44.200
<v Speaker 1>we don't have a collapse and defense on the run

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and I just wanted to see that Mary Christmas drivers. Yeah,

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:56.199
<v Speaker 1>I think about there is like if we mess up

0:24:56.240 --> 0:24:58.880
<v Speaker 1>our job, we can maybe fix it or do something.

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 1>But like right now he's about end a round reverse

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to Mari Cooper on the goal line or whatever, and

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:07.000
<v Speaker 1>very easily could just put the package in this house,

0:25:07.040 --> 0:25:08.400
<v Speaker 1>but it really is supposed to go to this one,

0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and that can change the entire scope of Christmas and

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:13.159
<v Speaker 1>that house. That just kind of worries me a little bit,

0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of pressure on Sean. I really did

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 1>that guy. That guy's great at his job. He's gonna

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 1>be awesome. I'm just saying, though, this is the time

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 1>of year when, if you you know, a lot us

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to everything is in this day and age like they're

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>the MVPs of Christmas. I haven't gone to a store

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 1>or to do Christmas shopping in five years. I haven't,

0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:31.000
<v Speaker 1>straight up, like literally at my front door right now,

0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:34.040
<v Speaker 1>there's like this pile of boxes because me and my

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 1>wife have done most of our shop actually inside the door, No,

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 1>just inside the door. But I'm just just a pile

0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:43.760
<v Speaker 1>of boxes come from you know all the place. Had

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a pile of boxes at my desk since Thanksgiving. I

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:48.400
<v Speaker 1>know you've been you've been accumulating stuff for a while.

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:50.879
<v Speaker 1>I will say this though, about the misdirection. The one

0:25:50.920 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 1>thing you have to be a little bit careful of.

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's say it's a mari and you're trying to send

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 1>him on an end around in the open field the defense.

0:25:57.840 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 1>What you're hoping to do is help catch him in

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:02.119
<v Speaker 1>in a misdirection where they start flowing one way. When

0:26:02.160 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you're down on the goal line. They don't have as

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 1>much ground to cover. It really is north east and

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 1>west more than north and south, and so it's harder

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:11.439
<v Speaker 1>to really get on a play that develops so slowly

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 1>like that. It's hard to trick them into not going

0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the right way because they don't have as much ground

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to cover behind them. It really needs to be and

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:21.840
<v Speaker 1>this sounds weird when you're talking about a receiver, but

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>it needs to be a run pass option in that case,

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>because you see those plays like the Philly Special where

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:31.639
<v Speaker 1>that's a reverse and there's a guy sitting there. There

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>needs to be maybe a shoult to somebody blocking there

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 1>if he doesn't get his guy turn around, because that's

0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:40.160
<v Speaker 1>where you saw Dez actually, you know, throw the ball

0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to Witten, and I think that was designed all the way.

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.399
<v Speaker 1>If anybody on this team is left handed a receiver,

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't really know that. I think I said that

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to you the other day. I mean reverses with a

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:53.879
<v Speaker 1>guy that's left handed. Norm will ever expect that coming. So,

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:56.960
<v Speaker 1>but I would like to see maybe a shovel pads pass.

0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:59.119
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a similar thing, and I think if

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 1>you can just get it right, it does create this

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:03.159
<v Speaker 1>this opportunity for you then to be able to just

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:05.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of get you guy in. I think that ever

0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:08.160
<v Speaker 1>worked for the team that I'm actually well my dream.

0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I see it work against around the NFL every Sunday,

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's just like, you're right, the Cowboys don't see

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 1>then the Cowboys do it with Schultz, they do it

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 1>with somebody. They've had a play in the playbooks since August.

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a fake, fake end around a Tavon and a

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 1>shovel to Zeke, and they've run it two or three

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 1>times in games and it always looks like it's gonna bust,

0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean in a good way, and then somebody makes

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 1>like a shoe string tackle. My want and my hope

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 1>for this team is since they brought him here, is

0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 1>what Tavon can do in situations like that. And for

0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the millionth time, it's not even giving him the ball.

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 1>It's just that little bit of hesitation where the linebacker

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 1>takes a half step to his left when Tavon motions across.

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it would make such a huge difference. He

0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't shoot the gap, right. Yeah. Yeah, you can't

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.200
<v Speaker 1>key on it because you have to make dead sure

0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:54.120
<v Speaker 1>that he's not getting the ball, because if he does,

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 1>you're screwed. And it just it hasn't materialized. I don't

0:27:57.720 --> 0:27:59.399
<v Speaker 1>think they used him enough when he was healthy. He

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been healthy for two months. Um so I already

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 1>said I don't think he's gonna play. But if he does,

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I sure hope that is something that they would incorporate

0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 1>into the game. Yeah, and I agree. If I was

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the offensive coordinator, you guys know, I'd be running fleef

0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Flicker at least once a game. But I for this, No, no,

0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the reds on, but person go up to five Fleeflicker

0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:23.800
<v Speaker 1>would love to finish the sentence. But which is yeah

0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:26.119
<v Speaker 1>coming from me, I get it, I get it. But no,

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:29.359
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying is even more even more than that. Like,

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:31.200
<v Speaker 1>my number one thing I would do with this team

0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:33.680
<v Speaker 1>is put Antoine Woods at fullback. I really would. I

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:36.200
<v Speaker 1>would put him in there. Human law, that's what they need.

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 1>They don't have a true fullback and lead blocker like

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 1>that A Koran reads somebody, even Connor Williams, somebody that's

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:46.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit athletic, got some size yep, antoine woulds

0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I think would really? I mean that would push the pile.

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 1>How william would be a good one. Yeah, I mean

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 1>as a as a kind of an athletic fullback. Right there,

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it. Yeah, let's go ahead and take our

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.640
<v Speaker 1>final break. When we come back, we'll keeps answering some

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of y'all's questions. Break now. Yeah, while the player could

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.600
<v Speaker 1>look good on paper, it's one he's out on the

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:09.920
<v Speaker 1>field that you really find out what he's made of.

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>and scouting reports when building their team. When picking a tractor,

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>it's why you should rely on more than just specs

0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 1>and features. You've got to take it out and put

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 1>it to the test. The Cowboys did when they named

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:29.960

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:45.240
<v Speaker 1>still have time before Christmas to get something barely on

0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>running out? Yeah, jump in, I hit it barely yeah.

0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Why kind of noises that you have some very interesting noises? Okay,

0:31:56.600 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 1>he does, He'll make bare noises here. All right? Well

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:03.640
<v Speaker 1>we Steve from New York. Stevie, Hey, how you doing?

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Quick question? Well, I'm obviously hoping the Cowboys take care

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of business like they should, But I want to play

0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Devil's advocate for a second here and ask everyone's opinion

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 1>on this. If this team loses the next two games

0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and they missed the playoffs, which would be an epic collapse,

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:27.800
<v Speaker 1>is the head coach back in twenty nineteen, Absolutely no chance,

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:31.920
<v Speaker 1>no way, And I would be so shocked if if

0:32:32.120 --> 0:32:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I cannot imagine, I cannot imagine this scenario where Jason

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Garrett would not be the coach at any point in

0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the year of twenty nineteen, and the date of that

0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:48.960
<v Speaker 1>game is what December? He will not be the head

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 1>coach at any point in January. If that happened, you

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:57.600
<v Speaker 1>think you one a on the plane and then that's it.

0:32:57.920 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely what if they what if they lose both of

0:33:00.920 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 1>these games? But the Eagles and Redskins both lose and

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:08.239
<v Speaker 1>you're still win the division. Well, then then you are

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the coach. Then if that if that's the case, then

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:14.840
<v Speaker 1>you see how the playoffs go. Right now, it's still

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. If they win this weekend, I think

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 1>it's still you see how the playoffs go because they

0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>go into the playoffs. Even if they earn it this weekend,

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:24.120
<v Speaker 1>they go into the playoffs, and that first weekend, let's

0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 1>say they play Seattle at home and and Seattle just

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:29.440
<v Speaker 1>runs through them. I don't think there's any I don't

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:31.680
<v Speaker 1>think there is a good chance that that he's gonna

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:33.800
<v Speaker 1>be there. I'm gonna stand by this, like it doesn't

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:37.280
<v Speaker 1>matter where when, what if the playoffs end, if the

0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 1>season ends an utter disappointment, so that even means going

0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to the championship game and having a twenty one point

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:46.480
<v Speaker 1>lead and you lose or whatever. I mean, I'm just saying,

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:49.720
<v Speaker 1>if the ends and utter disappointment, then I think I

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:51.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I just I kind of disagree with you,

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 1>like a surprised I mean it's because if they're if

0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 1>they're in the championship game or the super Bowl and

0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:01.320
<v Speaker 1>they play a horrible game, Yeah, I don't think that

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:03.840
<v Speaker 1>necessarily means he's gone. Now that may mean something for

0:34:03.920 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 1>some of the other coaches on the staff. Yeah, but

0:34:06.000 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that means that you get rid

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 1>of so. Yeah, but I mean if he wins a

0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:14.839
<v Speaker 1>division title and let's just say first round lose, you're

0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:17.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna they're gonna fire me think based on that, I

0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:20.040
<v Speaker 1>think so, I don't, but I think I will it

0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:21.919
<v Speaker 1>lose it. Home think it depends on how it looks.

0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Depends on how it looks if they lose the way

0:34:24.520 --> 0:34:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they lost the Cults. Sure, if if Russell Wilson Aaron

0:34:28.080 --> 0:34:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers is them, then you know, just maybe not leads

0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:33.360
<v Speaker 1>him down there with no and it's just Amari Cooper

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 1>has a deslike catch non catch in the end zone.

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Really Yeah. Yeah, I think it depends. And I also

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.359
<v Speaker 1>if they get to the NFC title game and get

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 1>their doors blown off, I don't think he would be

0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:46.440
<v Speaker 1>fired because it would be their first NFC title game

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:50.480
<v Speaker 1>appearance since nineteen ninety six. Yeah, he won't get I

0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine that they'll haven't gotten one. Sorry guy, the

0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 1>elusive championship game. Sorry, guys, experience it? What experience it?

0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:00.279
<v Speaker 1>They give it? We one of the per because we

0:35:00.320 --> 0:35:02.600
<v Speaker 1>get here is to see a package of season tickets,

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:05.240
<v Speaker 1>not that we ever get to use them, but families

0:35:05.280 --> 0:35:07.759
<v Speaker 1>are will take Oh yeah, no, absolutely, Um, but those

0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 1>tickets are in there, and so you only need to

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:13.799
<v Speaker 1>right because you're never gonna play three playoff games at home.

0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:16.160
<v Speaker 1>You either have a buy or you're going on the road. Yeah,

0:35:16.239 --> 0:35:19.440
<v Speaker 1>So the NFC Championship game ticket is sitting in that package,

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just like, oh, what if? What if? So nice? Anyway?

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:31.799
<v Speaker 1>Um No, I mean, I really it's I don't think

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:34.360
<v Speaker 1>you can definitively answer that question, even right here on

0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Eve ish time. I think the one thing that

0:35:36.920 --> 0:35:39.120
<v Speaker 1>we all agree on that is in our at least

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:42.400
<v Speaker 1>in our opinions, is definitive is if they manage to

0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:45.640
<v Speaker 1>lose both these games, and if they're not in the playoff,

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Philly or Washington squeaks in to that to win the division,

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:51.920
<v Speaker 1>then I think it's gonna be hard for me to

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:56.120
<v Speaker 1>imagine a scenario where the Ultiman price is at the

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:59.359
<v Speaker 1>head coach is gone. I can't. I cannot imagine them

0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:02.000
<v Speaker 1>seeing the playoffs when you, I mean, you run the

0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 1>math on how near a certainty it was yeah, I

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:07.840
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine, but it would be that would mean that

0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:10.800
<v Speaker 1>it was an epic collapse, one of the worst collapses.

0:36:10.880 --> 0:36:13.560
<v Speaker 1>That would mean two of those final three losses were

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:15.480
<v Speaker 1>against teams that aren't even in the playoffs and are

0:36:15.520 --> 0:36:18.160
<v Speaker 1>far from the playoffs that you lost, and one of

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:20.160
<v Speaker 1>them being at home. I just that would be an

0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 1>epic collapse. And I just think that would be why

0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 1>it would be so hard for him to imagine a

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 1>scenario where he would be back depending on what plays

0:36:26.080 --> 0:36:27.800
<v Speaker 1>out with the Colts. Who could have all three of

0:36:27.840 --> 0:36:29.920
<v Speaker 1>those losses come to non playoff teams. I know the

0:36:30.000 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Cults are hot right now, but they're not in the playoffs.

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 1>So let's see. Here's a different question from Justin Farrell

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:40.000
<v Speaker 1>through Twitter. What is the key matchup the Cowboys have

0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:43.400
<v Speaker 1>to win in order to beat the Bucks? The O

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 1>line versus the D line or Dallas secondary versus Tampas

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:51.920
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. I'm gonna give I'm gonna give the O

0:36:52.080 --> 0:36:54.680
<v Speaker 1>line the benefit of the doubt because I expect the

0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:57.480
<v Speaker 1>two starters to be back. I think Superphilo and Zach

0:36:57.480 --> 0:36:59.839
<v Speaker 1>will be there, so I think that will be better.

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:03.279
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, the only thing Tampa does well is

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:05.160
<v Speaker 1>throw the ball, and so I think this is big

0:37:05.280 --> 0:37:07.400
<v Speaker 1>for Byron Jones. Think he's going to see a lot

0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:09.719
<v Speaker 1>of Mike Evans. Obviously, Deshan Jackson's going to play in

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:12.800
<v Speaker 1>this game. He has caught a lot of long touchdowns

0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:15.600
<v Speaker 1>against this team in the past. So that's the big

0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:17.560
<v Speaker 1>one for me. If you can even just have moderate

0:37:17.600 --> 0:37:21.319
<v Speaker 1>success against those guys, you should be fine. I think,

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.640
<v Speaker 1>with only two games left in the season, what are

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:29.000
<v Speaker 1>realistic flaws they can rectify over these next two games

0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:32.359
<v Speaker 1>to give them confidence going into the playoffs. The one

0:37:32.400 --> 0:37:35.480
<v Speaker 1>they need to rectify is the red zone. We'll have

0:37:35.600 --> 0:37:37.040
<v Speaker 1>to wait and see if they can. But to me,

0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:39.359
<v Speaker 1>of all the issues you would point at for the two,

0:37:40.160 --> 0:37:42.239
<v Speaker 1>to me, that's the one that if you get that right,

0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:45.320
<v Speaker 1>if you get that right, you change the complexion of

0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:47.440
<v Speaker 1>your team, because that's been their biggest achilles heal. All

0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:50.040
<v Speaker 1>sees how many times we've seen them being able to

0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:51.919
<v Speaker 1>move the ball in games up and down the field.

0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:53.520
<v Speaker 1>It was a Coast game at the beginning first half.

0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:55.920
<v Speaker 1>They were moving the ball well, they just couldn't score.

0:37:56.120 --> 0:37:58.320
<v Speaker 1>And so if they can get that part fixed, I

0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:01.239
<v Speaker 1>think everything else that you see as a problem, I

0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:04.040
<v Speaker 1>think becomes a much less problem because then your defense

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:07.080
<v Speaker 1>is playing well, you're scoring, that's what you need. Imagine

0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:09.040
<v Speaker 1>what it would do for their confidence to have Like

0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:11.279
<v Speaker 1>if Nick's right and they go four for four in

0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the red zone, score thirty four points. We've touched down

0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:16.480
<v Speaker 1>every time you go down there, even if I mean,

0:38:16.480 --> 0:38:17.719
<v Speaker 1>I know the Bucks are bad at it, but I

0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:19.800
<v Speaker 1>just think that would do wonders for the confidence of

0:38:20.360 --> 0:38:23.279
<v Speaker 1>the play caller, the quarterback, the running back, everybody, if

0:38:23.400 --> 0:38:25.879
<v Speaker 1>if they had a game that that good. Yeah, I agree.

0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Here's a fun question. What existing players seem to be misused,

0:38:30.640 --> 0:38:34.759
<v Speaker 1>like Byron was that could transition to a different role

0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:39.239
<v Speaker 1>next year. Antoine Woods could be playing full kidding the

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.520
<v Speaker 1>obvious one is and I can hear the fans screaming it,

0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:47.440
<v Speaker 1>which something to keep an eye on. But Lyle Collins

0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:51.160
<v Speaker 1>back to guart Connor Williams, I did I mean? And

0:38:51.320 --> 0:38:54.759
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, people people will yell at us because

0:38:54.800 --> 0:38:57.279
<v Speaker 1>we you know, I sit here and tell you, like, well,

0:38:57.320 --> 0:38:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Byron's the safety, He's not gonna play carn Like I'm

0:38:59.680 --> 0:39:01.480
<v Speaker 1>not trying. I'm not an analyst. I'm not trying to

0:39:01.520 --> 0:39:03.080
<v Speaker 1>tell you what I think is best. I'm saying that's

0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:06.359
<v Speaker 1>what they think, and so you never know these types

0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 1>of things until the coach has come around on it. Basically,

0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 1>like if you ask Jason Garrett about Lyle Collins right now,

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:12.920
<v Speaker 1>he'd say, well, we think he's he's best suited to

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:16.040
<v Speaker 1>play tackle in March. It could be a whole other story,

0:39:16.600 --> 0:39:18.640
<v Speaker 1>and then they'll act like it was their idea all along.

0:39:18.719 --> 0:39:21.719
<v Speaker 1>That's We've talked about that before with Connor. So I

0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:25.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I don't I don't know that Lyle will move.

0:39:25.120 --> 0:39:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that Connor will move, but it is

0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:28.520
<v Speaker 1>something that I would have my eye on. With the

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:30.880
<v Speaker 1>way this line has struggled this year and trying to

0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:33.800
<v Speaker 1>find a home for Connor long term, it's just something

0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:36.680
<v Speaker 1>that I would consider the only other choice. And this

0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:38.800
<v Speaker 1>list would have to take a little bit of you know,

0:39:39.000 --> 0:39:40.840
<v Speaker 1>weight room work and all that. But the only thing

0:39:40.880 --> 0:39:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I could think of would be Noah Brown, maybe a

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:46.440
<v Speaker 1>tied end, but he just doesn't seem like he's huh,

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:48.399
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't you have to gain it? That's a lot more weight.

0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:53.200
<v Speaker 1>He's self tall, he's six two, he's forty pounds underweight. Yeah,

0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:55.759
<v Speaker 1>he'd have to gain him. I don't wait. I think, yeah,

0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:58.719
<v Speaker 1>he's a big he's a big receig. He does a

0:39:58.800 --> 0:40:02.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of things that are similar to a sighting. I

0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:04.759
<v Speaker 1>mean him being on the team. To me, I think

0:40:04.840 --> 0:40:06.719
<v Speaker 1>next year, you don't need four tight ends if you're

0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:09.400
<v Speaker 1>going to keep him at all. So they got to

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:11.880
<v Speaker 1>figure out the tight end situation. So he may not

0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:14.640
<v Speaker 1>be a tight end, but he might be the type

0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:17.960
<v Speaker 1>of player that keeps you from having to go along there.

0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Those are the only ones that come to mind for me, though. Yeah,

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:25.279
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'm forgetting somebody. But I was thinking. I was

0:40:25.360 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about this yesterday on the Spanish podcast, and it's

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:32.520
<v Speaker 1>crazy to think that several months ago we were all

0:40:32.640 --> 0:40:38.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about the possibility of releasing Byron Jones or people asking,

0:40:39.040 --> 0:40:42.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, are saying wanting the Cowboys to cut Byron

0:40:42.480 --> 0:40:44.920
<v Speaker 1>and move on from him. And look at where he

0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:48.920
<v Speaker 1>is now, making the Pro Bowl at a cornerback. It's amazing.

0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe they gave him the fifth year option. Yeah,

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and they're very they're very happy with themselves for doing that.

0:40:57.120 --> 0:40:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Now they have to sign him. But isn't that all

0:40:58.840 --> 0:41:01.759
<v Speaker 1>about Christmas? Shark? All about coaching man, it is, but

0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:04.600
<v Speaker 1>but I think he laid down the foundation and I

0:41:04.719 --> 0:41:07.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think if he leaves it's not gonna no, no, no.

0:41:07.160 --> 0:41:08.560
<v Speaker 1>What I mean is the decision to go with the

0:41:08.560 --> 0:41:10.600
<v Speaker 1>fifth year option because he saw a vision for the

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:13.399
<v Speaker 1>player that was different maybe than what they were seeing.

0:41:13.480 --> 0:41:16.479
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you know, I'll get Tim Tamble is really bad. Sorry,

0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:20.319
<v Speaker 1>but that happened after Chris Rushard was already hired. It's

0:41:20.320 --> 0:41:24.759
<v Speaker 1>a great remember. Oh well, it's like May May for

0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the next year. Yeah, yes, May, yeah, yes, he was

0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:30.279
<v Speaker 1>already here and then they made the decision. I love

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:32.759
<v Speaker 1>the dichotomy. But you know, I asked Jason Garrett. I

0:41:32.800 --> 0:41:34.719
<v Speaker 1>asked Jason Garrett point blank. I said, what was Chris

0:41:34.840 --> 0:41:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Rashard's role in the decision to move Byron Jones the corner?

0:41:38.600 --> 0:41:40.960
<v Speaker 1>He said, well, it's a collect it's a collective decision

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:43.279
<v Speaker 1>we all talk about. Of course, as the defensive backs coach.

0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Chris had a really big part in that, but that's

0:41:45.680 --> 0:41:48.799
<v Speaker 1>we all get together and YadA YadA, YadA, kumbaya um.

0:41:49.480 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 1>And then I asked Rod Marinelli on Thursday, and he

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:56.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, day one, Chris Rashard walked in here and said,

0:41:56.760 --> 0:41:59.560
<v Speaker 1>this guy's got the length, this guy's got the athleticism,

0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>this is my kind of corner. We need this guy

0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:04.319
<v Speaker 1>playing corner. And I was like, thank you, Rod, thank

0:42:04.400 --> 0:42:08.320
<v Speaker 1>you for answering the question. And it has goodness gracious,

0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:10.480
<v Speaker 1>what a what a call on Christoph Shard's part. And

0:42:10.560 --> 0:42:12.920
<v Speaker 1>think about it, all these years, they had an opportunity

0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:14.719
<v Speaker 1>to say that long time ago that he needs to

0:42:14.719 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 1>be playing corner. They did not, So you could say

0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:19.600
<v Speaker 1>it was a group decision, but that group decision hadn't

0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:21.680
<v Speaker 1>been made up until this year when Christoph Shard got

0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 1>here and said, that's the kind of guy. You know.

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:25.640
<v Speaker 1>The thing about it was is that, I mean, he

0:42:26.200 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 1>wasn't playing well at safety. In fact, Cavan Frasier was

0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:30.680
<v Speaker 1>split in time with him at the end of the

0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:33.440
<v Speaker 1>season there at safety, so like he kind of needed

0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:37.759
<v Speaker 1>a home and he was a he founded average average

0:42:38.040 --> 0:42:40.840
<v Speaker 1>safety to a Pro Bowl corner. And you know, the

0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys he's got another year on his deal. It's worth

0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:46.120
<v Speaker 1>noting and and I'm sure the Cowboys are interested in

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:49.520
<v Speaker 1>bringing him back. But either way, just from Byron standpoint,

0:42:49.560 --> 0:42:52.240
<v Speaker 1>like he's going to make a ton of money somewhere

0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:55.600
<v Speaker 1>because of that decision, So like, you know, send Chris

0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Richard a Christmas card basically, and he's really good on

0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:02.759
<v Speaker 1>No Moss. J Yeah, well he's I mean a g

0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and Bayern her thickest thieves, like they're the homies. Yeah

0:43:06.200 --> 0:43:09.480
<v Speaker 1>for a moment, but he's got a little bit well

0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:13.839
<v Speaker 1>he's into art, so that closer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, if

0:43:13.840 --> 0:43:15.319
<v Speaker 1>you guys do know what I mean, there's a show

0:43:15.360 --> 0:43:17.600
<v Speaker 1>called No Moss. We do that, Amber does, um and

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.439
<v Speaker 1>she's got you had Byron Jones with Rico this week.

0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Really good episode, I thought, so if you guys check

0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:25.600
<v Speaker 1>it out. Why an't we publishing that today? Yes? Yesterday? Yesterday?

0:43:25.840 --> 0:43:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Makes you go check that out? Really? Thanks Derek. I

0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:30.800
<v Speaker 1>saw it at my desk. I didn't watched it, so

0:43:31.040 --> 0:43:32.520
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, you guys go check it out. A really good,

0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:35.400
<v Speaker 1>really good episode. Thank you. Well here's I don't know

0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:39.120
<v Speaker 1>if we have time, I guess not. One last question, maybe, UI,

0:43:40.680 --> 0:43:43.520
<v Speaker 1>what is the ceiling for Blake, Jarwin and Dalton shots

0:43:43.560 --> 0:43:46.640
<v Speaker 1>We've seen them kind of progress in the past couple

0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:50.600
<v Speaker 1>of weeks. Do you see them having a good future

0:43:50.719 --> 0:43:54.560
<v Speaker 1>here in Dallas? It's a good question, Um, I think

0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the answer to each of those questions is yes. I

0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:00.440
<v Speaker 1>think the answer to both of them him is no,

0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't need I don't need Jarwin and Dalton Schultz

0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:08.000
<v Speaker 1>both here. Why not? Because they're both just okay, and

0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:10.239
<v Speaker 1>I need someone better than that, and I'm gonna draft

0:44:10.280 --> 0:44:12.959
<v Speaker 1>someone that's gonna be better than that, and I gotta

0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:15.319
<v Speaker 1>keep swaying and one of those two guys, I don't

0:44:15.360 --> 0:44:16.920
<v Speaker 1>need them both. Let me ask you this. You look

0:44:16.920 --> 0:44:21.320
<v Speaker 1>around the NFL and they are only a handful of teams,

0:44:21.400 --> 0:44:24.160
<v Speaker 1>three or four teams that have a dominant tight end.

0:44:24.520 --> 0:44:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Most of them, and these are even good teams. Most

0:44:26.840 --> 0:44:28.600
<v Speaker 1>of them have a tight end that's kind of in

0:44:28.719 --> 0:44:31.560
<v Speaker 1>that same boat. Yeah, average guy, use him as you

0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:34.120
<v Speaker 1>need to use him, especially if you have a lot

0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:36.880
<v Speaker 1>of talent at wide receiver and or running back. Then

0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:38.799
<v Speaker 1>the tight end is just a guy that can catch

0:44:38.840 --> 0:44:41.240
<v Speaker 1>a few passes here and there for you and can block.

0:44:41.680 --> 0:44:45.640
<v Speaker 1>So if you do you draft the tight end this year, yeah,

0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll say this, I'm less and less thinking it has

0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:50.520
<v Speaker 1>to be my second round picking. Okay, let's say you

0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:52.600
<v Speaker 1>draft the tight end in the third or fourth round,

0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and he's pretty good and he's got some athleticism. Okay,

0:44:55.000 --> 0:44:57.920
<v Speaker 1>he's making the team and Swam comes back and he's

0:44:57.960 --> 0:45:00.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna make the team. You need you're right, Well, I

0:45:00.840 --> 0:45:02.239
<v Speaker 1>get not a lock to be here. It's not a

0:45:02.360 --> 0:45:04.920
<v Speaker 1>lock either. I get all that. I'm just saying, though

0:45:05.280 --> 0:45:07.440
<v Speaker 1>my opinion has changed. Oh, you know how they were

0:45:07.440 --> 0:45:09.080
<v Speaker 1>talking about before the season, do you need to have

0:45:09.120 --> 0:45:11.080
<v Speaker 1>a number one wide receiver. I think that's been proven.

0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:13.560
<v Speaker 1>You need somebody that can take that pressure off your

0:45:13.680 --> 0:45:16.279
<v Speaker 1>your running game. But I don't know that it's been

0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I believe right now that you

0:45:18.560 --> 0:45:20.799
<v Speaker 1>have to have a tight end the caliber of Jason

0:45:20.840 --> 0:45:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Witten in order to be you kind of do I

0:45:22.320 --> 0:45:24.720
<v Speaker 1>mean it's been I mean, based on what you've watched

0:45:24.800 --> 0:45:28.080
<v Speaker 1>right now, Dac needs doc kind of help. He needs

0:45:28.120 --> 0:45:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a tight end that he can trust, that he can't

0:45:30.040 --> 0:45:32.759
<v Speaker 1>rely on, that can catch the ball and make I

0:45:32.800 --> 0:45:35.040
<v Speaker 1>mean that's nice, that's nice, But I don't know if

0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:38.800
<v Speaker 1>that necessarily is gonna make dak Okay appreciably that the

0:45:39.400 --> 0:45:41.920
<v Speaker 1>question of those two guys, My answer is, I just

0:45:41.960 --> 0:45:44.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know how many average tight ends you need, So

0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I need them both. Although I

0:45:45.560 --> 0:45:48.400
<v Speaker 1>will say I if they get better, that's fine, and

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I think Schultz can maybe get better. We are seeing

0:45:51.760 --> 0:45:55.040
<v Speaker 1>exactly why Schultz was picked, and obviously it's delayed. You

0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:57.200
<v Speaker 1>would have preferred to see it from day one. That's fine.

0:45:57.320 --> 0:46:00.360
<v Speaker 1>But he's a smart guy. He's a better seven. He

0:46:00.400 --> 0:46:02.719
<v Speaker 1>gets credit for. He has shown he's grown leaps and

0:46:02.760 --> 0:46:05.640
<v Speaker 1>bounds because in the month that he's been active, much

0:46:05.719 --> 0:46:08.880
<v Speaker 1>like Connor Williams, give him a year or two in

0:46:08.960 --> 0:46:11.480
<v Speaker 1>an NFL weight program, like I absolutely believe he could

0:46:11.480 --> 0:46:15.200
<v Speaker 1>be a starting caliber tight end. I still disagree just

0:46:15.280 --> 0:46:17.719
<v Speaker 1>because I think your second or third round pick should

0:46:17.719 --> 0:46:19.240
<v Speaker 1>be a tight end this year, just in the interest

0:46:19.280 --> 0:46:21.719
<v Speaker 1>of increasing the talent level. Yea, but I'm happy with

0:46:22.800 --> 0:46:25.080
<v Speaker 1>all three of those guys, really, and I don't know

0:46:25.200 --> 0:46:27.799
<v Speaker 1>nothing against Rico. He just hasn't shown as much. Yeah, well,

0:46:27.840 --> 0:46:31.799
<v Speaker 1>let's come in this weekend. Let's go. He's gotta get

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:34.200
<v Speaker 1>five gets going this weekend. But at least now you

0:46:34.320 --> 0:46:38.440
<v Speaker 1>have people um enjoy this weekend and have a merry Christmas.

0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:41.120
